Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
I think they bridge Connor as well, but if Buff retires I think they should trade Connor for a top D.
Whats left for Conner on a 7 year deal if Buff comes back? 7X7mil ?? . Do we have any bonuses that could take us over the cap this year and restrict us next year ?

Not exactly...$14 859 169 available now.
if Buff returns his 7.6M reduces it to $7 259 169 left.
Roslovic is eligible for $212 500 performance bonus and Niku is eligible for $60 000 performance bonus
True... my badNot exactly...
If Connor signs, the Jets will have 24 on the roster, so they'll need to move at least one player out. Let's say that Connor replaces Luoto or Suess on the roster. That would leave them with almost $8M in cap space, assuming Buff's cap hit is counted. If they played with a 22 man roster (which I think they will do at times), they would over $8M in cap space.
Press conference with Laine isn't until Monday. Speculation is that it's because they may want to have both Connor and Laine present for the conference.
Yeah, he's right now on a plane from Switzerland to Helsinki. Will take a while until he's in Winnipeg.That and Laine has to travel all the way from Europe so he may not actually get in until Sunday.
Perhaps, but he could be in by tomorrow realistically, or be here by Sunday easily.That and Laine has to travel all the way from Europe so he may not actually get in until Sunday.

...I choose to believe the press conference is for Monday so they can have them both there because I've been a massive pessimist all pre-season and I want to change things up a bit.
I’m assuming there’s no updated info on Buff?Was at the The Chambers State of Hockey Address with Mark Chipman answering Dennis Beyak's questions. Led off by announcing the Laine deal, which was the fist time hearing the deal, cool way to find out, room exploded.
Followed that up by saying he is very confident Connor will be signed before the season starts on Wednesday.
That is a direct rumor from the horses mouth

I think this will be pretty close, I'll call 6 X $7M but I think it ends up in this range somewhere which will be a another fair deal for Chevy.Predicting Connor signs for 6 years at 7.25 AAV
I’m calling 6 x 7.125 just because I like to be difficultI think this will be pretty close, I'll call 6 X $7M but I think it ends up in this range somewhere which will be a another fair deal for Chevy.
No. Said they were caught off guard, Buff was buff when he came back, seemed normal, didn’t see it comingI’m assuming there’s no updated info on Buff?
ThanksNo. Said they were caught off guard, Buff was buff when he came back, seemed normal, didn’t see it coming
6 years is the most rumoured term with asking reports in the $7.5 range, I'll guess a little lower AAV as Connor has benefited from the best possible usage on his ELC. 6 X $7M is my bet.Congrats on the Laine signing. Just a perfect contract if he is what the rest of the world thinks no one will have a problem with paying a generational goal scorer 10+ mill. And if he doesnt well then he really has no case for such a pay raise, what do you guys expect from connor? I think if you can get hin for 7 or 8 years at 9m or under it would be another huge win.
