Player Discussion: Mason Appleton

[nobody important]

Maybe because DeSalvo chose to sign elsewhere, the Jets pushed harder to get Appleton to turn pro?

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

The egg. On this, there can be no debate.

 

[Deif]

Foley next?

 

[Channelcat]

Wasn't expecting it after he was named captain. Neat! Great addition for the Moose.

MSU is a bit of a mess right now. I guess he figured that things were not shaping up very well there.

 

[JetsFan815]

Good signing. Wonder why Foley isn't signed yet. He said in his interview in the prospect camp that the ball was in the Jets court. I think Foley is going to have a breakout year and the Jets would be wise to sign him this summer before the temptation of UFA kicks in at the end of next season

 

[Hobby Bull]

1 more year in NCAA and then to the Moose?

Ya.

The NCAA is pretty specific about this kind of thing...

Their multi-billion dollar industry doesn't want the help to make a thin dime. It would corrupt them.

I seem to recall someone (not pointing the finger at you, don't remember who it was) saying when Vesalainen was drafted that they didn't think there was an organizational need for left wingers. Who do we have on the Moose for left wingers, besides Darren Kramer who absolutely, positively must be on the roster because... you know, shenanigans.

De Leo, Tanev, Sgarbossa, Cormier, Lemieux, Harkins are LHS. Lipon is a RHS but has played LW before.

He can buy a truck

 

[Joe Hallenback]

I am not sure anymore but don't they get all 3 years of there signing bonus right off the start?

That's not how I understand it. They are paid each July 1 for the year in question.. The Oilers for instance are not giving Connor McDavid $80M+ next July 1

Straight out of Green Bay Wisconsin .... does he have a face like Charles Bronson?

I guess they're entitled to their signing bonus as soon as they sign the contract and it's then paid out over multiple years as stipulated in the contract. That's why they can't be bought out or withheld - the player signed the contract and is owed that money for signing.

It's also why some trades are announced after July 1 so the bonus is not paid by the acquiring team.

Did you see that TSN? thing on what an NCAA basketball player could be paid?
Average of 170k a year and one team could pay $1.7 million a year for each player based on an NBA type split of the revenues.

He looks like a real Punk Guy.

Not enough NOFX love.

How does this compare to other ELCs our prospects have signed?

Most similar to Lodge and Nogier's deals I think...but with a lower performance bonus.

Shoulda been on the cover of punk and disorderly.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Good,looking kid hopefully he can make the Jets one day and be a gamer!!!

 

[Grind]

Not sure if anyone noticed but someone in that Twitter feed (assuming his mom?) Mentioned that MSU will continue to honor his scholarship and he's going to finish his degree part time

 

[Lempo]

Gotta wonder if this is the CBA mandated legit Performance Bonus or if CapFriendly sticks also the Games Played bonuses under that column too. $25k would specifically be the maximum allowed bonus for 5 games played up in the N.

Interesting. Didn't know they did that.

Good for him though. What did he study?
