Pre-Training Camp 2015

[Mortimer Snerd]

I think Burmi is going to kill it this year. By mid-season we'll be saying "Fro who?"

No matter how good he is I won't be saying that. We did not get Burmi in exchange for Frolik.

We sure didn't. Question: If we did would you be upset at the value?

That's a good question. If it had been an actual trade, considering contracts I think I would be undecided. Would need to see today's Burmi play with today's Jets. I guess I would be cautiously optimistic.

I was thinking about this and I have to agree; we probably need to see how Burmi performs to make a ruling on this. Might not be a bad "trade"

But it would be better to have both of them.

Pretty sure it is JP Vigier; he runs a pro camp each year here ahead of training camp. He is an independent contractor and is paid by the players.

He's actually 65.75 inches.

Does Petan have a shot at the big club?

Does Petan have a shot at the big club?

That would depend on who you ask. Talent wise yes. But I think Ehlers and Armia are in line ahead of him. Maybe Copp also as 4th line center. Many seem to feel if Petan starts in the A he will be up when injuries hit and will prove himself given the opportunity.

That is my take anyways.

Thats exactly what will happen.

Yeah I find it a bit odd myself. Aren't they undergoing physical testing today?

Well, in a salary cap world there are always trade-offs. If we had re-signed Fro we wouldn't have been able to even discuss extending both Ladd and Buff.

As Jets fans we are now learning what it's like to be living with a roster good enough to be near the salary cap.

Yes, there are always trade-offs. If we had signed Fro last summer for 4 years 1 would already be gone. He would have only 1 year more to go than what Stafford has now.

That cap issue does come into it and my guess is that it is a big part of why Frolik is not here. Without rehashing everything connected to the Buff issues I would rather have Frolik here, Buff traded for a decent return (just decent, not outstanding) and the cap difference still available for others.

We could have Fro, Burmi and Stempniak in the lineup and still have room for Ehlers and Copp. Both Armia and Petan just down the hall when there are injuries.

If the return for Buff could have been managed to produce a top 4 LHD or even an NHL ready prospective top 4 LHD we're golden. If not we are still in great shape, have room for prospects and at least a little more cap flexibility going forward. But the cap would still be difficult in the near future.

That would have been one plan, I think a good one. We are going to see a different plan. It may be as good or better. Or not.

Gotta admit, I'd have preferred that scenario over just about any.

66 minutes after I posted my question.

Chevy reads HFBoards confirmed.

Let's close this thread.

 

[sting13]

No Clitsome on the roster.

 

[Aavco Cup]

No Clitsome on the roster.

It was announced earlier he would not be in camp and would likely begin with the Moose later in the season (conditioning stint) if he gets cleared to play.
