Confirmed Signing with Link: [WPG] Adam Lowry signs extension with the Jets (5 years, $3.25M AAV)

[Whileee]

Got the exact same contract as Faksa...which seems like a pretty good comparable IMO

Basically, a better version than Faksa. About the same 5v5 offensive production, but better defense. And Lowry is an intimidating forechecker, and is one of the few top-9 types that will go toe-to-toe with Ryan Reaves.

 

[Whileee]

This isn't really that cheap for a bottom 6 F set to be UFA. Term is the worst part imo. He would have gotten more on the open market, but GMs always make mistakes there.

Eventually the cap will rise again, and the tail end of this contract will be just fine.

 

[Whileee]

It’d be more amazing if they were locking up a core that actually has proved anything.

Winni is Minnesota North.

Also, this means they likely lose Copp no?

Wow, so many bad takes in such a short post.

It would be easy for you to find out that the Jets can protect Lowry and Copp. It's really only Appleton that will be exposed.

 

[Whileee]

I know... folks who say he's overpaid are clueless and don't watch hockey/Jets. You know who makes the same amount and is overpaid? Kassian. Ugh.

Lowry provides everything that Kassian supposedly does, but Lowry is also effective at playing hockey.

I'm always skeptical of deals based on how a player does in their 20s, but the length of the deal is mostly in their 30s. He has been a great player though. The deal should be great for 2 years. After that, they are gambling with history. Forwards usually have a big drop off around that age. Not always, but usually

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Lowry just strikes me as a player that is going to severely disappoint with this deal.

Especially if they lose Copp on top of it..

The Jets aren’t paying him to put up points as they have enough players who can do that. So unless his defensive game falls off a cliff, which is way less likely to happen then a players points totals falling, I don't think the Jets are worried at all with his play dropping off over the next 5 years. Lowrys biggest attribute are his hockey IQ and size. Both of which are going nowhere any tine soon

While I'm sure the signing of Dave Lowry didn't hurt resigning his son Dave has more then earned his keep with his leadership with the Jets special teams. Last year the Jets were one of the leagues worst team with PP and PK. This year the PP is in the top 3 and the PK is top 12. What Dave Lowry brought to the table with his coaching of the Jets special teams is why the Jets signed him and being Adams dad was just a bonus.

I'm wondering if that went the other way. Dave took the job here because his son planned on staying here long term ?

 

[TS Quint]

Jets just need to get players in the door and lock it and the Stockholm syndrome kicks in.

It's funny how well they do resigning players Vs getting free agents.

Copp plays centre and left wing.

Granted he has played a lot of left wing for Winnipeg.

I don’t think as highly of Nils as you do clearly.

You dont think highly of a teenager setting records and winning awards in the SHL? Nils being a late first rounder has done nothing but improve his draft capital so either you think Copp is now worth a first round pick which he isn't or Nils underperformed his draft position.

Plus who is Copp playing over Panarin, Laf or Kreider? How about as a center which as you ÷<⁸said he doesn't play much....Zibs, Strome or Chytil?

Prior to this year Copp never touched 30 points. Value is terrible. As we saw from this deadline you would be lucky to get a 2nd round pick. If traded separately he probably nets a 3rd? Sorry its pretty bad

 

[Magic Man]

I think it's a great deal. I love the way he plays.

 

[GBLeaf]

Wonderful deal. Great value and bodes well for the Hyman deal at Toronto.

If you don't know anything about Copp you could have just stopped at liking "Nils" to make your point.

 

[Former Referee 68]

53 points in his last 171 games (0.31 P/GP).

Hard for forwards who score that little to get big money no matter how good they are defensively.

You need to watch the Jets more~ I'm an oiler fan and would love to have him on my team

 

[smack66]

nice deal for the Jets

Maybe I’m undervaluing Nils but you’re undervaluing Copp.

So I dont know anything about Copp now? Copp is a nice player dont get me wrong. But let's be real here. He has played 400 NHL games and this is by far his best year. Like I said its doubtful someone pays a first for a guy who previously never broke 30 points. The rest of his game is good but if he continues to put up points then his value definitely increases.

Peg fans now think you might lose him to expansion but somehow he is worth a 1st round pick? Come on. I dont think my valuation is far off in a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

You think he nets a first?

It all depends on his next contract and what he wants to do/where he wants to go. He's basically in the Trouba situation, which is ironic because they're good friends and have the same agent. If he's willing to sign longer-term under $4 million somewhere, his rights might net a late first from a team that sees him as the last piece to building a contender. We really like him, but he doesn't get a protection slot (or a 1st) if he wants out or wants $5 million. Chevy won't let it come down to the wire like that, though.

Fair points but Troubas agent got Trouba overpaid. If he signs a team friendly deal i dont see them trading him and if he wants 5 mill I don't see a contender giving him that contract and a first round pick. If he also knows he is going to get traded he won't take a team friendly deal. I dont see either side of that scenario where he gets a first.

We can agree to disagree though.

 

[North]

In terms of draft picks what do you think Copps value is?

Considering everything he does, at the very least a second but a late first is not out of the question.

You don't know Copp or the Jets. Why would they lose him in the expansion draft?

 

[10Ducky10]

A 2nd and a 3rd.

A 2nd and a 3rd.

Yeah he might drop off at some point but $3.25M is low enough to be worth the risk
