Around the NHL 9

Can't wait until the boards get hacked by Russian porn.

It could boost attendance.

Off season of dorion continues



Robertson extension incoming?

I'm sorry but AFAIC this "keep an eye on" shtick of Weekes is weak.

Does that walk him right to UFA?

no

cap projections came out and it estimated 92m in 25-26 when this deal expires. he'll get a mammoth contract composed almost entirely of UFA years.

Teams are overpaying ELC years for their top prospects - jets need to start doing this…

Isn't that what we have done with Connor/Ehlers/Scheif/Morrissey/Helleybuck?

Yup and you likely see the same in two years with Cole whe his contract is over.

I wonder if Milano and/or Virtanen would accept a 2 way contract? If so, I would sign them both to a 2 way deal and put them on the Moose. Of course, I am a huge fan of 1st round draft picks to see if they have any untapped potential out there.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Quick, sign Eakin, he's good in the room, right?

 

[bustamente]

Guys on PTO's have an up hill battle to get a contract.

Aka locker room poison

 

[Scheifele55]

Lias Andersson was also put on waivers. I would take a stab at him.

 

[JetsFan815]

Virtanen is crap but we could use Milano. Andersson is intriguing but has attitude problems, we don't need bottom-6 players with attitude issues considering the state of that locker room.

 

[WolfHouse]

So Harkins is a bum and we can easily replace him but Sonny Milano is a good addition… hmmm…

22 pts in 132 gp vs 81 pts in 197 gp is a pretty big difference. I think it's certain that Milano is a much better player offensively

For what? He had to sign a pto to get to an nhl camp and got cut.

Do you think the Flames forward roster is that strong?

I think we dodged a bullet by not signing him

Gagner is essentially our Milano type in the bottom 6 anyhow. It's going to be upto Gus to show he can keep up and translate some of his AHL offense to the NHL.

 

[RabidOne]

Not surprising, apparently he did nothing to stand out.

where does milano fit on this team? he's not a match for lowry's low-offense line. then the 4th you have several guys competing for a Wing spot - assuming gagner has RW. id like him to help with some skill down there, also could fit in the top-6 if there's an injury to a wing, but i think the org would rather go w/ their guys even if they might be less productive.

Seven seasons in the league and can’t get a contract…

Gus face off percentage is the key to his role - fourth line just needs to control the puck and points will come
