Last one was well past its limit. Here are the last number of posts:
Depends on what you measure as quality. 60% Corsi for a centre is probably something a good GM would want. If you could get 2 firsts on Laine, that's alot of quality, potentially, one of them could turn out better than Laine, and at a cost that keeps the team together. You could have your future goalie, in Primeau, who is higher rated than Birdman. But concentrate on Brook, I only added him because he's local, and we need RD depth going forward. And of Brook, Juulsen, Fleury, it's a toss up who's better.
Mid to late firsts? Not the kind of quality we are talking with Laine. Not even close.
Primeau is rated higher by who?
None of those 3 D are better than the ones we have on the Moose now. You are in the wrong part of the depth charts.
His name says he's an inside source, so he must know what he is talking about.
The clock doesn't stop Chevy...get busy. Or is the plan to let most of them walk? Interesting times.

Montreal is not a late first team. Mid first defines their mediocrity. And Laine wouldn't change that. It's a poorly managed team, that spends big money on guys like Alzner and Chiarot. They'd give Laine Matthews type money. Primeau is rated better than Berdin by virtually every scout. 2 NHL games already .931 save %
Here's another way to look at it.
You get your 2c. Problem solved long term. Back to drafting BPA, could be Jarvis or Quinn. You get an extra pick this year. Could be Schneider.
In 2 years you could be looking at
Connor-Scheif-Jarvis/Quinn
Ehlers-Danault-Wheeler
Harkins-Lowry-Roslovic
Vesalainen-Gustafsson-Appleton
Morrissey-Schneider
Samberg-Pionk/De Melo/Hamonic
Heinola-Kovacevic/Gawanke
Hellebuyck
Primeau
That's still a contending team.
And you still would have more draft picks to fill shelves. So you can plug holes with players short term.
Once you stop trading to fill that 2c hole, it's alot easier to build the team. In fact you can start to build assets up to a point where you trade from positions of strength (say Pionk or Berdin). If we keep trying to find guys to fit our star winger power, with a defense that is already depleted, eventually the team will bottom out for lack of having prospects to replace top players. We can disagree, we often do, it's not a big deal to me.
Really only the bottom 4 need to be qualified but I bet we keep Nogier ans Suess in the fold.
These are our only RFA’s this season. What would you do?

I remember Garret saying that the Jets weren't sure about re-signing Nogier last year, so he's likely to walk, especially with the development of Kovacevic and Gawanke, and Chisholm can play RD, plus Luke Green is still here.
Spacek is done with the Jets. You don't move a player out of your organization unless you think he is hindering it, and that's exactly what happened with him.
Suess I think gets an offer, he might be in contention for a 13th forward.
The other 4 are guaranteed to be tendered, and it will be a much easier year to sign RFA contracts for Chevy, as none are big ticket players.
Jets RFAs...
Nogier - walk
Suess - qualify
Spacek - walk
Niku - qualify
Roslovic - qualify
Harkins - qualify
Appleton - qualify
We're about 4 weeks out from QO deadline, a little early to speculate on if he's letting guys walk. I don't think any QOs have been submitted by any team yet.
