Bout time

Should be a good cheap get for a contender. Glad it's finally over.

 

[Sabreality]

welcome to NY Blake

 

[AvroArrow]

Send him to Arizona

 

[Atoyot]

I'd bet he gets over 3.5 million as a free agent.

End of an era

I mean error

AZ passes

5 teams trade clause. Wheeler doesn't need to work too hard to make sure the Jets can't trade him to anyone and are forced to buy him out.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Come to Anaheim

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

As much as we like to bash sometimes, as a Jet, Wheeler stepped up to be captain when Andrew Ladd ran out of answers, and gave it everything he had at all times. He was a workhorse that rarely got hurt, but he was also a hell of a player that was underrated so badly for years. I hope he lands in a good place. Thanks for everything, cap’n.

Lolol i thought there were "no leaks" in WPG. Good though this guy was shit captain and is the reason u lost laine for a bag of bones.

 

[Guardian17]

All the best Blake.

Seravalli said jets had a couple trades that involved Wheeler with 50% retention but were considering a buyout to create a bit more cap space for them this year.

If they flip Dubois for Vilardi, Kupari, Iafallo, as reported, I think it's a pretty good return for Laine - no?

Wheeler consoling Laine after Laine hammered it in his own net was a nice moment.

AZ can probably get a draft pick for taking him

No, Laine's better

didnt we already have a thread on the Jets buying out Wheeler like 2 weeks ago?

 

[McHelpus]

Come to edmonton on a cheap 1 year deal? We could really use a Rwer...

 

[Mr Positive]

I bet he goes to Florida

Wouldn’t say he ran out of answers. Ladd was contract greedy so the Jets passed and thank God they did. Ladd was a disaster post-Wimnipeg.

Yes, and this thread hasn't added anything. I was expecting a confirmation or pre-confirmation, not just another reporter's insight
