Moose should be a good team again.

 

[Boreal]

He got the Paul Postma and Tucker Poolman deal. We swung 1 for 2 on those… so here’s hoping the coin comes up Milhouse on Kovacevic.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

He might see the NHL full-time for the last year, maybe a bit more than that. I hope he works out to at least a good 3rd pair NHL RHD.

This guy will see game time this year. He had a good season last year, is a Right handed shot and a perfect press box guy to collect a pay cheque and fill in when needed. It looks more and more like one of Heinola Samberg start with moose unless Dillon gets traded as they can’t sit in press box and need to play.

He very well may get the PB spot and get into 30 plus games imo.

The Jets had a good record with 7 d-men last year, that would be a good spot for him, a few minutes here, a few minutes on the PK.

Going the Tucker Poolman route, taking a long time to get to the show...congrats to Johnny K on working hard to earn his promotion.

3 years for nothing is decent

 

[Aggie204]

Is this a one way contract?
Edit- two this year, one way the next 2 years.

It’s two-way for two years.

 

[DEANYOUNGBLOOD17]

I like this contract at league minimum for 3 years. This great value to fill out the Roster with a low contract on defence. #7-8 in press box player.

Jets carry 23 man Rooster
-13 forwards
-2 goalies
- 8 defence

 

[Atoyot]

Good for the press box, should be 9th-10th in line to get ice time but will probably be 7th.

I don't think you sign a guy like that to a 2 way contract for 2 years if you think he's your #7. He gets a decent minors salary of $150k, then $250k for those years. Good chance he goes through waivers unclaimed. Capobianco might have a better chance of getting picked up. Right now Stanley is #7 and the Jets are probably happy with that, after 2 years of Beaulieu in that spot. Even if Dillon gets moved, Stanley is still probably #7.

I think Kovacevic is still ahead of Gawanke on the depth chart, but 9-10 is where he probably fits. And he probably gets more than 4 games this season.

Probably even more now that he is a Les Hab. Lost potential future for Jets. Hope Mtl is "thankful', eh.

From a Canadiens standpoint, I had to look at it to make sure I was telling the truth, but they drafted Josh Brook and Scott Walford as defensemen after the Jets took Samberg, and before the Jets took Kovacevic, for a combined 0 NHL games, and now they are picking off low hanging fruit, while demoting Justin Barron to the A. So I think it's a case of one team's good drafting benefitting another's teams failures. I remember Mike Bossy saying if you haven't made the NHL by your 3rd year of playing pro, you're probably not a top prospect anymore.
It's a good opportunity for Kovacevic which was much more of a dogfight to get here. Who knows maybe he'll be back with the Moose by the end of the year.

 

[snowkiddin]

I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes the way of Comrie and ends up back here. I’m thinking Montreal will eventually try to send him down.
