Ring a ding ding. Nailed it.

I love Lowry but I don't think he deserves too much of a raise right now. $3.25-$3.5 feels about right for him.

 

[surixon]

I can live with that AAV. The term might be a year too long but solid signing.

doesn't this kinda mess up the expansion draft protection stuff?

 

[Daximus]

Pretty solid AAV, this contract takes Lowry to age 33 which may be a little long but with the AAV we shouldn't really need to worry even if he falls off a bit by then.

Now this brings up some questions for the expansion draft. Chevy will almost certainly be using futures to protect everyone at this point.

Copp or Appelton will be getting exposed now.

I guess they now expose Appelton and Harkins.

 

[SUX2BU]

thank you, Lurch

 

[Guardian17]

I like this deal.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Looks like Lowry will use a protection slot in the XD.

Which means the last slot gets used on Copp?

Good AAV. Term really depends on whether his body can hold up to his style of hockey. Overall, I like it.

 

[Evil Little]

Wow. Lower than I thought. I like the term given the suppressed cost.

I still think our 1st rounder will be in Seattle's hands by the expansion draft.

 

[bustamente]

Fefe, PLD, and Lurch down the middle for years to come

 

[surixon]

I still think our 1st rounder will be in Seattle's hands by the expansion draft.

Very well could but I would juat as soon let them pick one of Appelton, Harkins, or Stanley and call it a day.

I really hope not rather expose Appleton/Stanley

 

[Jet]

Yes! Great news! I thought Adam was gone.

So we're likely losing Appleton - which sucks but I don't really see him being more than a middle six winger. I haven't liked him in Wheelers spot on the PP - he's an ok PKer but doesn't excel there, either.

 

[Daximus]

I'm not entirely to optimistic about this draft. Especially if our pick ends up being a late one. The odds we get anyone that's even on Stanley's level could be low. The Jets may reassess what they do depending on where our pick falls. If it's 17 and they really really like someone in that range they might be okay with letting one of them go. If it's 32 (likely not but who knows) then a year ago that's basically an early 2nd rounder so I think you just give them a pick and someone like Niku and hold your cards.

No way that Appleton is worth a first. I think they'll likely expose Appleton and Stanley

 

[MardyBum]

Nice deal. Obviously would have preferred the handshake deal but no biggy.

Protect Copp as the 7th, even a year away from UFA he has more value than Appleton or Harkins.

We'll lose a solid bottom 6er but that's life.

 

[bustamente]

Appleton had a real nice start but lately has been kinda meh, Harkins just got back and he serves a role on the 4th, both will never be top six let Seattle take one of them

 

[Daximus]

It will depend on where our pick ends up being I think. Like I said above if it's 17, they might keep it. If it's 32 (basically an early 2nd rounder) then you might as well use it and a lower tier prospect to keep the more developed assets.

Yeah I haven't done much scouting on this draft so I don't have a good feel for it. I I.agine a lot of teams don't either. I don't think it would cost a first to get them to take Appelton over Stanley which is probably what Chevy intends.

 

[EnglishJet]

I don't mind this at all. Good AAV, the term isn't amazing but 33 isn't ancient and we're securing a core of FeFe, Dubois and Lowry through their primes. I'll take it.

I agree our first is going to Seattle to keep this together. I also agree this is the wrong move.

I think Seattle will take Stanley or Berdin likely.

 

[Channelcat]

I thought this might be a difficult signing. Looks great for the Jets
