Agreed, I see the Jets doing the same with BooBoo they did with MP last season to get cap compliant, but then he will be back on the roster. My honest guess is they sign Pionk medium term (4-5 years) to keep the cap hit at $6M or slightly less, and grind it out with Copp in arbitration and try to get him as low as possible for this season and either make a hockey trade down the line or just expect to lose him after the season. I think after last season loss of revenue, and a shrinking season ticket cushion the organization wants a very successful season and as many playoff rounds as they can get and deal with the following season when it comes.
