Is it the offseason already...

For now:

Petan-Scheifele-Laine
Connor-Little-Ehlers
Copp-Lowry-Armia
Dano-Matthias-Kosmachuk

Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Myers
Niku-Nogier

Hellebuyck
Halak

Lose Perrault to Vegas
Trade Trouba because he wants to play in US Market.

Only one I added was Halak because I was sure he's more likely than any other player at this point.

I like Heiskanen and I kinda hope Jets pick him up in the draft. But is no where near NHL caliber yet.

2019-2020 is realistic first season for him.

Don't know why everyone wants to get rid of Perrault, he's one of are best players and one of the best Defensive Forwards in the league(some Jets bias there but look at his Own The Puck stats), next Trouba, of all players... Trouba is litterly our best Defenseman, and could be one of the best in years to come, now tell me why give that up? I don't care if he wants to be in a different market, offer him what no one else will because he's a great Defenseman who should stay put, Also the biggest issue about Troubas hold out was the way the Organization handled his contract not the Market of which he is playing in.

I'll give it a shot. We have two holes, goaltending and defensive depth.

Perrault Scheifele Laine
Ehlers Little Wheeler
Connor Lowry Armia (Some will raise their eyes at this but Connor is currently playing and dominating the AHL on a similarly constructed line with a big physical defensive C in Cormier and an all out hustle forechecker in Lipon. I think there might be a reason for him playing there)
Mathias Petan Dano

FA depth piece non goon type

Morrissey - Trouba
Smith* - Buff
Pouliot* - Myers
Chariot

Darling*, Helle

*The Jets sign both Darling and Smith in FA. They buy low on Derrick Pouliot who seems to be undervalued by Pittsburgh.

I find a way to get Toby to waive is NMC and deal him this summer for a futures package. Might not be realistic but I feel he's slowing down too much for the type of game we will be playing.

We are able to protect 7-3-1 and I elected to expose Copp who gets taken.

The summer moves accomplishe three things.

1) Adds a potential number 1 to battle with Helle for starts.

2) Shacks up the core by dealing Toby.

3) Makes the defense younger and quicker and able to really move the puck which further compliments the team's collection of highly skilled and fast forwards.

I wanted to say that's a great lineup. Love it. I thinking we are looking at over $4 million for each of Smith and Darling in free agency. That would be a big splash for Chevy.

I would keep Copp over Matthias, for versatility, that would be my only change.

Well both Matthias and Copp would have to be exposed to meet the games requirement. I tried to be realistic in that I feel Vegas will take the young piece in Copp although I'd rather they took Mathias.

I also wouldn't have any issues with slight overlays to either Darling or Smith as we will have cleared around 15 million in cap space with Toby, Stafford, Pavs and Thor leaving. We will have a mountain of cap space this summer so we should be able be competitive in FA.

Fair. I would still try to keep Copp. Given that he is a big part of keeping Trouba here, and happy. Maybe we could offer a prospect like Lemieux or Phillips to take Matthias over Copp. Still, solid lineup!

Trouba will have Connor and Helly both fellow Michigan boys here to keep him happy!

I wouldn't be opposed to throwing in a Lemiux or mid round pick in that type of scenario.

If one of those UFAs is Postma I'll be happy. I'm not seeing any UFA options that are better AND cheap enough to sign for the 3rd pair/pressbox.

Also, lets be real... Chiarot will be on this team, whether we like it or not

How I think it will happen

Ehlers Scheifele Laine
Connor Little Wheeler
Matthias Lowry Armia
Copp Petan Dano

Chiarot Buff


Hellebuyck


Post trade deadline

Ehlers Scheifele Laine

Morrissey Trouba
Chiarot Buff
Niku Myers

Probably another bottom ten finish? Hence Toby and Little being dealt.

My lineup:

Ehlers-Scheifele-Laine
Perreault-Little-Wheeler
Connor-Roslovic-Dano
Lemieux-Lowry-Armia
Matthias

Morrissey-Trouba
XXXX-Byfuglien - free agent or trade for XXXX
Enstrom-Myers
Postma

YYYY - free agent or trade for YYYY
Hellebuyck

Copp is off to Vegas. Petan is too, for Vegas not selecting Myers in the X draft.

Jets draft a C in the draft. I'm predicting Rasmussen.
