Give him Little's contract. Just change the name in the contract. No one notices.
Yes your right on--and Helle will cost big bucs--like about $ 5-6 mil per year.
Opportunities to dump salary without a massive dropoff:
- Mason
- Kulikov
- Myers
The Jets should be looking at these moves regardless. Can't dedicate 10MM of cap to a mediocre 3rd pair - especially with Poolman and Niku pressing + Morrow and Chiarot for the press box.
Would Toby come back for another year on the cheap?
Little only becomes expendable if Stastny is retained, but he has a NTC.
________________________________________________________Yep Helle is going to cash in and we should rightfully sign him long term to lower the cost a bit. Trouba is a big question mark as to what he gets. Not sure if they will bridge MoJo or not. The rest of the contracts will be manageable. Signing Stastny is going to take a monumental effort from Chevy if that is what he wants to do. We have 3 contracts which are moveable. Myers, Perreault and Mason. If Chevy moves at least two of those we can sign Stastny on a short term deal. But we will still face a cap crunch in due time. But fear not as we have reinforcements on the way. If some of those guys can step up and fill roles we can trade some vets for younger guys and futures to keep the train rolling.

Well, I agree except for Myers -- I believe the Jet's are a loyalty organization, and will want to keep Myers. He's also signed til the end of next year, so I would bet they'll let that contract run it's course. Myer's also scores a lot of points, and that wins games.
______________________________________________________It will be a tough time for the Jets but if we want Stastny some big moves will have to be made. I also feel like once Trouba and MoJo are signed that we will have far to much cap on the books for dmen.

There's no question that your right--something has to give here. I don't think you'd get much for Myers as teams would be scared of his health problems--hips etc. I think the guy Chevy moves is Trouba--especially if he wants to much $$$ or would rather play down south?? We'll have to see how it plays out ?? Off season will tell us a lot.
I'm sure Chevy would like to keep them all -- but someone will have to go.
_______________________________________________________Myers definitely has some value. Leafs fans were willing to give up a 1st+. I'd imagine Chiarelli would sell his farm for Myers. I don't think we would have to be worried about a buyer.
We have a winning team why would you want to change it? I'd only let ppl go if it means keeps our young guys together longer.
Our best two players were helle and Chef both young guys. Buff took over series one but was less visible series 2.I think the our vets has really carried us a lot these playoffs. Wheeler, Stats and Buff have been huge contributors. Which can't be understated. Our young guys played really well all season but it's the vets that have taken over when the nerves got to some of our young guys. They to will get to that point but we need to have some older strong players around until that happens.
Also I was referring to GNP's let's trade for RNH. So not sure what your post was referring to. I also want to keep Stas and Wheeler and Buff at fair prices.I think the our vets has really carried us a lot these playoffs. Wheeler, Stats and Buff have been huge contributors.

I'd also add that Lowry was just as good as Little and that's another young gun.
Who will take on a $4 million dollar goalie that played minimally in a year? Sorry, I think Mason is unmovable at the moment.
I really don't understand what this means.If you read between the lines in his interviews, I don't get the impression that Stastny is treating this as any more than a one-off.
Jungles does not believe Stastny will resign with us.I really don't understand what this means.

Depends on if he values winning more or money.id take the money but he will not get into the Hall of Fame without a Stanley cup. That's got to be worth 6 mil to be memorialized for some ppl.He's going to get a ridiculous offer from a Montreal or someone like that, especially with the way he's played these playoffs.
Here's hoping Roslovic starts getting some more C work next year.

Oh well maybe his son Percy will be in the HOF. Also I do not know his name is Percy this is not a scoop it's going with the P theme and Paul's dad playing in the NHL.Judging by him and his dad's comments it seems they value winning. Stastny's dad was one of the best players of his era, trailing only Gretzky in production during his time in the league but he has no Cups to speak of. I think that seems to be something Paul really wants. He isn't going to ever be as great of a player as his father was. But if he can win a cup then he has done something his father never could and by Peter's comments it seems like he wants that for his son more than anything.
It's pretty damn likely Paul never sniffs the HOF. He has no top 5 finishes, no awards and even with a Cup he likely has zero chance of getting in on his production.
