Confirmed with Link: Morrissey signs Extension, 8 years, 6,250,000 AAV

[MrBoJangelz71]

So we get Morrissey for 500k less than Provorov with 2 more years term.

Both are actually really solid deals, like ours a bit more

 

[garret9]

Within 100K of Evolving Wild's salary prediction.
So while I do believe Jets got great value, the contract was fairly on point for how the (broken) market tends to pay for defenders.

Reminder that EW's salary predictions are based off of market history, and not off of how good or bad a player is.

 

[garret9]

Wow. Less money and more term than Trouba, and he's a better defenceman than Trouba, too. That's a really good contract.

Morrissey is 25th for GAR/60 for those with 4500 mins or more since 2013. Trouba is 48th.

This is the new HFJ positivity thread.

Woke up and remembered this signing.

Then heard the Buff news.

Turned round and came back home to JMo. May spend the rest of the season here.

This is about as close as it gets to everyone singing Kumbaya around here...

I can't recall anyone ever having a negative thing to say about Morrissey, the player or the person. Well, maybe that blogger that stuck his nose in here recently, but he doesn't count.

Feels good with something positive that is Jets related!

Awesome contract!

 

[Guffman]

Given how these contracts line up well with each other on the Jets, clearly Laine and Connor won’t get anything to disrupt the pay scale (even if the RFA winger market turns out to be high).

I am expecting Connor to come in at good value. Laine... I think he gets bridged at about $6M.

Honestly, if you’re making that much, you don’t need to push to get every dollar possible. If Chevy shows he will be responsible with his contracts so that these guys will have a high quality team for years to come, it’s easier for these players to commit long-term with team friendly deals.

I don’t get the selfish mentality in Toronto where the players are trying to grab every dollar possible. I would find it hard to cheer for greedy players like Matthews and Marner.

Morrissey is #2 in PiFH* for those players drafted by the current Winnipeg Jets organization. Trouba is #53.

And Wheeler.

Initially I really liked this contract but OilerBear on the main boards has me worried. According to his 40 theories, Morrissey is a rover, not a defender, and therefore should be judged against all other NHL forwards based on this. His expected goals and points per 60 minutes are near the bottom or bottom half of 500+ NHL players.

He also said most people who use analytics have "poorly" copied his own analysis which has been developed over 35 - 50 years or thereabouts. Maybe one of those people is Garret? What say you Garret?

My take away from this is...

Don't read the main boards.

I was absolutely ready to roast the shit outa you after reading your first sentence. Shame on you for playing on human laziness.

Nice to have a reasonable contract with a player wanting to be here

Fans loved GST too but meh.

We also loved STUUUU! And Pavy, Pavy, Pavy! I don't know, maybe it's the fan equivalent to pity sex.

Great to have Morrissey on the d corps for the next 9 years.

He needs a letter soon.

What is PiFH?

The post you replied to literally answered that question. See asterisk.

Agreed. I think when Scheif gets the C down the road Morrissey will likely get an A.

 

[Puckatron 3000]

Everyone here is happy, and in 100% agreement.
That's truly a magic contract.

Hats off to Morrissey and Chevy. Morrissey is going to be a fan favorite for years to come. In fact, I can tell how much a person knows about the Jets by their answer to the question, "How awesome is Josh Morrissey?"

He's f***ing awesome.

I got a signed Heritage Classic Morrissey Jersey for $40 on a raffle two season ago and then went nuts on collecting Morrissey hockey cards as he was my favourite Jet at the time, still is. I have at least 30 different rookie cards now, 15 or so of them signed. Now that he re-upped long term and is here for the next 9 seasons I'm planning on framing the cards around the jersey in a custom built frame. It will be expensive but well worth it. It will smell of rich...mahogany.

This is incredible value. Thanks Josh.

 

[Aggie204]

I think his value will sky rocket when he is placed on the PP full time this year.
