I see bieksa and Jokinen getting signed soon. Ones a shootout specialist and the other has a toughness to his game and is still good enough to be a bottom pairing defender. Both solid vets.
And what cap space do the Jets have. They unloaded Mason and signed a $650,000 back up so they can stay under the cap. As of this moment the Jets have a 21 player roster with $10.239 M in cap space still needing to sign Morrissey. Most Jets fans are expecting something long term with an AAV in the $5.5 M range. So now we would be down to $4.739 M. Add in $3.713 in ELC performance bonuses and yeah they will be paid out considering most of it goes to Laine, followed by Connor. That leaves $1.026 M for the 23rd roster player. Most or expecting it to be Petan with his $874,125 cap hit. That would leave them $151,875 under the cap. A little shy of the $4.1 M Mason contract before he was bought out.Mason was hurt a lot last year. He’s getting paid so I imagine he waits till he finds a good situation. Jets should of just kept him honestly. They have the space and an unproven backup
Lehtonen May take more money overseas

Who's gonna sign? where? who's gonna have to sign super cheap? who's gonna end up retiring? not finding job?[TBODY] [/TBODY]
Your predictions.....
PS cant believe that Vermette is still available, super strong on faceoffs, can kill penalties, still a little bit of offense for a 4th liner.....

I could totally see Toronto giving Shore a PTOcould see Toronto giving a PTO to Shore or Winnik
Really?Surprised Franson hasn't signed. May be asking for 3-4 years and GMs only offering 1 or 2 year deals.
Yea considering nobody claimed him for free at only a mil cap hit last year it seems obviously the interest in him is goneReally?
Chiasson is a big body, from Mtl. and comes in cheap at almost an entry level contract. He's a better option to be called back than any of the winger vets in Laval who are getting paid about the same. It's a no brainer if he's running out of options which seems to be the case.We have enough bottom six players.

Yeah that's true, but i cant see how he wont make a roster like montreals or ottawa's if he is signed cheap or gets invited on a tryout basis lolJokinen showed 4 teams he was done last year. No need for the other 27 teams to bring him in to find out for themselves.
Oh yeah, I also see Letestu signing with Anaheim or Florida.
I'm assuming you were joking about bieksa right ?haha.,That is true but given less shootouts happen more players are bound to become worse at shootouts then better given teams are more focused on 3 on 3 play now.Since when is Bieksa a shootout specialist? (You might want to check Jokinen's record, iirc he's something like 6 for 29 since 13/14).
Fair enough, I figured they couldnt make a shit team worse lol. I'm not saying they are out of the park great, most of the players on that list are better. I guess i'm bias cause i enjoyed bieksa on vancouver, i can see winnik, enstrom, letestu, etc getting contracts before them. I think i was just thinking about the shit teams and how anyone could join their teams lol. Can't see how bieksa or jokinen could make ottawa any worse then they are now LOOLTrust me, those two are both done. Neither of them can skate anymore.
