No to signing Ladd. Not worth it. Jets will now pick 22 or 23. If Anaheim loses to Nashville or beats Nashville but loses to SJ jets will pick 22. If Anaheim beats Nashville and SJ it's 23. 

Fun fact...

 

NYI vs TBAY game 1 of 2nd round will start b4 game 7 of Nashville Ana round 1

Same night just the Tbay game starts earlier

So Ladd turns down the Jets offer to lose in the first round of the playoffs (like last season). Good luck finding a suitor that will pay you what you turned down last season. Maybe Columbus will take you. Thanks for the draft pick Chicago ...

What happens with Ladd will be interesting because I dont think his play in the playoffs really showed a lot either.  In Winnipeg he was a big fish in a small pond and in Chicago it was somewhat the reverse.  He should have offers, but teams being more cognizant of spending arent likely to make him top tier offers.  Maybe he looks at $4m to move back into his house in Winnipeg.

Why Ladd did not resign with Winnipeg is between Chevy and himself, did he over value himself, did he not want to be part of a rebuild/retool i have no idea but i think the Jets have moved on. He may take less money to play for a contender but he wont to play here.

Im not one to wish for Ladd to return because it's highly unlikely in this situations, though not unheard of.  But I think it would be difficult for Ladd to come back because it would be for less money and it would be hung around his neck.  And he'd be coming back without the "c".  Although Chipman was asked and said he told Ladd he'd be welcome back (or something to that effect).

But it would be very difficult to allocate resources to him for 5-6 years I think...But as a 2nd line LW who probably ends up a really good 3rd line LW as time marches on, I wouldnt be against it...if the price was right.

It's not the price. It's term. 2 3 years at 6 million sure but Ladd wants 6 or 7 x 6 6.5 probably and some dumb gm will give it to him. I hope it's not the Jets

I could see Montreal trying to sign him.  Otherwise a low cap team needing to spend a few bucks.

Vancouver comes to mind. Florida even.

You think Vancouver thinks they can add talent and compete?  Seems to me their window is closing...

Vancouver ownership won't allow a proper rebuild

I guess where he signs will give us an idea if he wanted to win or if it was all about the money.

Maybe Carolina will take Ladd back.

Yea maybe. I'm also thinking a team like Edmonton that's desperate for a leader.

I think he ends up in AZ.

Ex-Jet winds up with Ex-Jets.

Edmonton needs to spend money on defence not a guy who thinks he's worth 6 mil for 6 years plus he didn't like the rebuild plans in Winnipeg and Edmonton seems to be spinning it's wheels. Ladd doesn't have many options especially if the cap stays at the same number.

17to85 and I were just talking about Ladd to Edm last night and saying that he's gonna want way more money than Edm can afford on a guy like that. Any big money they toss around will be on D for sure....

Whoa Isles

Isles coach Capuano out of the game after taking a puck to the beak. Who says this sport isn't though?
