Not that they necessary need to, but I wonder if Chevy and the Jets are pursuing any of the FA college players available.
I could see wpg attractive to dmen. Quite thin on backend.Not that they necessary need to, but I wonder if Chevy and the Jets are pursuing any of the FA college players available.

Yeah cause clearly the Jets missing Trouba and Kulikov on the back end means nothing.Considering how bad the Jets have looked without Toby in the lineup, I think you have to bring him back on a cheap contract if he still wants to play. There will be enough injuries for Niku to get a chance and he can play in the Chiarot role. This season and next season the Jets cup window will be open as wide it can be after it closes a little once Laine, Connor contracts kick in, you need to take full advantage of this opportunity and that means having a proven NHL vet in Toby in your lineup.
Good thing we kept Toby in the expansion draft this season...Considering how bad the Jets have looked without Toby in the lineup, I think you have to bring him back on a cheap contract if he still wants to play.

I don't see the Jets as thin on the backend at all
There is a possibility the Jets could start next season with
Buff
Myers
Kulikov
Morrissey
Trouba
Chairot
Poolman
That could leave on the Moose
Niku
Nogier
Stanley
Green
Possibly
Glover
They would also have in the pipeline
Samberg
Kovacevic
Gawanke
Cerderholm
Evingson
On the high end you have a player like Niku who is probably ready for the NHL and Samberg who needs a year or two of seasoning yet and lots of possibilities there as well. I don't see a lot of room there?
To me the number one thing we are missing is a high blue chip soon to be NHL ready future top pairing D asset in the pipeline
Have you given up on this guy?

The Jets would want to have Trouba signed before they could entertain the thought of trading Myers.At the draft, I would trade Myers for a late first rounder if someone is willing to take him at that price. He is very good offensively but is very suspect defensively, I think Poolman is already better defensively and trading Myers will mean that Trouba (if he resigns) & Morrissey are competing for PP2 playing time.
With the Myers money cleared, Enstrom can hopefully easily be resigned for 2-3M as insurance for a transition year for Niku.

I think the Jets need to figure out what they are doing re: Trouba before they can look at anything else. Are you signing the guy or trading the guy?
I think the first unit pp time should go to Morrissey as he is a better passer than Buff. He also seems to get his shot on net more even if it isn't as hard which is super important.At the draft, I would trade Myers for a late first rounder if someone is willing to take him at that price.

You never let an opportunity pass do you?Good thing we kept Toby in the expansion draft this season...
