Well, nice to get an asset at least for a low profile guy who wanted to sign elsewhere.

 

[Sweech]

Well, at least we get possibly something for him.

Loading up on those 2015 6th and 7th rounders.

So if we get this 7th for JST that's 10 picks in next years draft If I'm counting correct?

Good to have, you can trade them to move up in the 5th round perhaps. I wonder what the conditional part means, if they sign him does it go higher, or does it mean that if they don't sign him we lose the pick?

 

[drumzan]

The Jets have two 6th's and three 7th's I believe. Good year to load up.

 

[Guardian17]

Good asset management.

My guess is that if Buffalo signs him, WPG gets the 7th, if they don't sign him, then no draft pick gets traded

Wait till we trade Kane to Buffalo for all their picks

Sounds about right.

 

[mondo3]

a 7th round pick has no value, but if he had no chance of playing here, might as well let him go.

I can't believe we got a 7th for him and nothing for Redmond Good on them though this time I guess...

How do you forget Toby on a list like that? :

 

[King Woodballs]

Still better than letting him go for nothing.

 

[BigZ65]

I can't believe we got a 7th for him and nothing for Redmond Good on them though this time I guess...

List the UFA's who had their rights traded prior to free agency this year.

Does Redmond belong on that list?

 

[Aavco Cup]

Or this scrub

Zetterberg was selected by the Detroit Red Wings 210th overall in the seventh round of the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.

How do you forget Toby on a list like that? :

Ahh man, I checked some Swedish website, knew I should've went to the Polish one!

 

[Holden Caulfield]

No big surprise. When he didn't sign for a playoff run in St. John's last year I was fairly certain that he was done with Winnipeg. Too bad a prospect I really liked.

 

[jetkarma*]

How do you forget Toby on a list like that? :

May as well include Buff on the list too. Not the 7th but think the 8th still qualifies him .

 

[CorgisPer60]

At least Chevy potentially got something for him instead of letting him walk like many expected.

 

[jetkarma*]

He obviously decided he didn't want to sign here for whatever the reason , he held the control so hopefully Buffalo can sign him and we at least get a late pick .

Not like extra 2nd's or 3rd's but as the listed players show , not impossible to get an asset. We now have 5 very late picks , we can trade a couple for a higher pic, maybe do that more than once to get a mid round pick , or stay with the picks and see if we find a gem .

Not surprising that a lot of the players are non NA's , and that wouldn't be bad strategey , much like the Kraskovsky selection this year. Load up up Euros.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Meh. Basically Evander Kane without the vision and hockey IQ.

Plan the parade! Chevy is taking us to the promised land in 2046.

 

[truck]

A little bummed, but I anticipated him testing UFA.
