time for a new thread for a new season that begins today. Canada Day. Free Agent Frenzy. 

Will the Jets trade Trouba?  Will they resign Scheif to an 8 year deal?  

Will Boston, as heavily rumoured, offer sheet Trouba?  What about the rumours of the Jets in a three way deal with Edmonton and Avs?

Stay tuned!

A big low scoring center iceman ... think Lowry, but not with the offensive skills

Laine - Matthias - Thorburn - hold on to your butts, this is one explosive line.

Decent bottom 6 guy.  Likely 25-30 points per year, 28 years old.  Good size.  He can play wing or centre.

Chevy signs Shawn Mathias...

this was like so five minutes ago...

2 yrs, $2.125 per.

Does this mean they've given up on Lowry at Center?

If he plays wing does he take Thorburn's spot?

Lowry isn't a huge loss, sure he'll be forever known as the first player in Jets 2.0 history to get a suspension but hey we've had a good run

6'4", 231 lbs so he has some size.

Hamhuis goes to Dallas.

Hamhuis signs in Dallas.  NO!!!!!  HE SHOOTS LEFT!!!

Radulov to Montreal for $5.75 million?  Is Montreal on crack?  What a bonehead move.

Isn't a huge loss?  What are you talking about?

4th line C?

Maybe Copp/Lowry is involved in a trade? You've got to think Chevy is going to get a D man with some of these forwards...

Radulov fills the cancer role (according to management ) that was lost when they traded Subban

I'd offer Lowry a one year deal for 1.875m and tell him to show me what you got.

Don't really understand the Matthias signing. We already have a log jam in our bottom 6. 

I suppose competition is a good thing.  Does this mean Copp starts with the Moose?

Hmmmm curious move to add a guy like that to the Jets. Definitely must be some trades in mind for Chevy. 

Could be they want to move Lowry back to wing. But again with Armia, Dano, Burmi etc they have lots of bottom six wingers

Good for Ladd. He took a big risk and got paid in a good situation with a good team. 

Radulov is talented.  That's a lot of money though.

okay maybe a huge loss, but if Lowry leaves to me it might not hurt as badly as when Frolik and Ladd and Bogosian leaving (ladd's departure hurt a bit, I can't wait to heckle Kane on October 30th)

Yes I'll probably miss Lowry but, yeah I'm kind of stuck in the middle here

I thought Copp was already with the Moose

Mathias signing is a little puzzling but there is an expansion draft coming  so maybe that's why he got 2 years

I guess they see Lemiuex on the moose. 

Matthias 4LW. Big tough guy. Should be fun to watch if nothing else. 

oh good, now my Redwall reference might be relevant when he scores

well Frosty to answer your question that would be MTL, because they just signed Montoya

24 minutes ago, Ducky said:

Montoya is a good backup, especially for 950k.

I'd take out goalies over the Preds' goalies.

Preds got some guy called Rinne, might be good in a couple of years

Even MTL with arguably the best goalie in the NHL realizes they need a better backup.

sounds like Matthias may fill the Frolik shaped void in my heart

 

Matthias sez
