Confirmed with Link: Jets sign Adam Lowry to 3 year contract worth $8.75 million

[Afterburner]

I know, but I would rather have given up a copp or a tanev

Probably didn't get it done in Montreal though

 

[Peggy]

Copp is signed and I would not rather give him up, he offers a lot of flexibility plus I believe he is more consistent. Tanev likely would not have been the player Montreal wanted to complete the deal.

copp is more diverse, but I think armia does his own job better than copp does his

I'm open to the idea that I may be wrong tho

 

[Neuf]

Awesome .Big guy, big minutes, big role, moderate cash

 

[cheswick]

looking forward to 3 more years of Beyak saying BIG Adam Lowry

I sure hope Bryan is put out to pasture before 3 years are up.

 

[larmex99]

armia cost ~1.5 in Montreal
would've been nice to still have him

He is dead to us now. We need to get over it.

 

[Aggie204]

Hope he stays healthy for most of the season, and he peaks during the post season.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Does Lowry signing all but assure that Trouba is hitting Arb?

No effect or connection one way or another.

As for Little he going to have a great bounce back year as second C, I actually thought you were talking about Dennis and just wrote Bryan by mistake but no the mistake was all mine though like I said below.

Most love Beyak, I actually talked to him in Saskatoon last year before the season began and he stated the Jets were going to go deep this year and he was right.

 

[JetsUK]

Lee Stempniak waves hello -- from a long, long way away.

 

[Afterburner]

I got a soft spot for the old coot

edit: thought you meant to say Beyak

 

[jetsforever]

He's a UFA after this right? I wish it was longer, but the AAV is good.
Good to get another player locked up, now onto Trouba.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Ya, it just seems so strange, negotiations I mean these days. Like with all the data out there agents don't have the leverage they used to and contracts are more predictable. HF Jets posters are so close at predicting each contract correctly. It makes you wonder what takes so long when they know the inevitable number (give or take a 100k) right from the start that they will most likely meet at. The amount of time it takes seems silly at times.
GM - 2 million
Agent no 4 million
8 phone calls later they settle at 3 million

Just like you have to actually play the games - you have to dance the negotiation dance.

 

[Cellee]

I like it.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

We needed cap space, it had to be done. We can't keep everyone sadly

Something needed to be done. Not necessarily that.

If guys like Trouba and his old man want to save a dime, be a man and be your own agent lol

I got a soft spot for the old coot

He still loves his beer and Sunday mornings with the wife.

I liked Armia too but what can you do it's done

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Yup. He could take Stempniak's spot here though. Its time Stemp retired.

All hail the king, long may he reign

 

[HannuJ]

you dont think so?
I've already considered the Montreal was probably looking at armia
but montrela probably looked at him for the wrong reasons
copp can play center in the bottom 6

you guys mind not rehashing this over and over and over again in a thread that's not about that dead horse? thanks

 

[EpicGingy]

Fair contract, I approve.

Now please stay healthy next year.

 

[garret9]

His impact last season makes this a steal if he continues (even with injuries, but more so without).
It’s not bad if that was mostly a mirage.

 

[PhilJets]

Nice!!!
Go Jets Go

 

[Duke749]

Good deal. A bit surprised it’s under $3 mill per. Happy though.

 

[mazmin]

fair

now hoping Trouba takes 5-6 years at approx double the aav
