Figured id start a new thread for the inevitable and apparently impending announcement. 

 

if true, wow. Wow. What a kid. 

Nicely done Chevy. 

A great move by Chevy. He's been busy the last couple of days. This deal will look like a real steal in three or four years.

Confirmed as per TSN radio

 is he our new captain?

6.125 AAV is crazy. Was expecting 6.25 or 6.5. 

Is he the new captain? YUP 

Fantastic deal for the term.   Was expecting the AAV to be in the $6.5M - $7M if he signed for 8.

Now do they put the C on him?

 

 I think the captain should go to wheeler but he should definitely get the a

It will go to Scheifs for sure. I'd be surprised if it doesn't.  Wheeler isn't signed for 8 years. Scheifs is. You give the C to Scheifs now and you won't need to change captains in 2 or 3 years. 

This is Scheifs team. Kid was groomed for it since he was drafted.  Wheeler can have an A. 

 if is the 20th highest paid Center in the league we got a real bargain.

Jets now have about $10M.5 of cap space with Trouba, Armia and Lowry to sign (all RFAs).

Of course if we also currently have 23 players under contract, so with the players who have to be sent down after those 3, it will probably be closer to $15M.

 

21st highest now. Mackinnon signed 7 years. 6.3 AAV with Colorado

5.5 will go to trouba. Maybe 1 to Lowry and doubt Armia gets 1 million. Jets should have about 5 6 7 million left after all is said and done. Next year. ... Stafford Pav and thorburn opens up about 10 million in space. Plus whoever they lose to expansion  (Matthias Lowry Dano ). Not to even mention guys like peluso Burmi etc who have 1 year left.  Chiarot. Postma. 

Etc

Excellent job by Chevy.

Both the Buff and Scheif deals are really nice...

Long way from paying premiums to Enstrom and Pavs to stay in Wpg...  this feels like guys signing because they think there's a chance to win

Enstrom is a legit number 1 d man.  Fair deal at the time. The pav Stuart and thorburn deals tho were headscratchers 

Heard Schief on 1290. Said he wasn't involved until it heated up and then he was quite involved and it was his decision. Says he wanted to be here and is proud to be here. Mentioned Buff signing as a good sign and is excited about the talent and future.

Yup. He's only 23. Can't get a NMC until he's either 27 or played 7 years in the league.  Irrelevant tho. He's gonna be a career jet.
