When will Petan sign and what role will he play?

[Whileee]

Petan has a role on this team if he seizes it. It could be making this team out of camp, injury replacement or replacing an underperforming player. Internal competition is great. We need players like this.

I think Petan might well have a future. Perreault will likely be moved and Tanev is on the edge of the roster.

I could see a future like...

Connor-Scheifele-Laine
Vesalainen-Roslovic-Ehlers
Petan-Little-Wheeler
Copp-Lowry-Tanev

 

[Gabe Kupari]

He's an add on in a trade

Trouba plus Petan..

Just don't think hes good enough and really wish the hype around him would end.

Trouba doesn't need a plus in a trade.

Jets' forward depth is an important strength.

I just don't think they see a spot for him. I think hes been passed on the depth chart. I also think he easily clears waivers so maybe moose.

 

[AWSAA]

I would try to sign Petan on a Poolman-like contract. Dump Perreault and have Nic step into his spot at less than a 1/4 of the cost.

 

[cbcwpg]

Sign him to a 1 year - $700,000-$800,000 contract.

IMO Petan will have to make his way into a roster spot this year. If it doesn't happen, then he should ask to be traded, as it appears there just isn't a fit for him.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I think Chevy is working on a Petan trade to free up space to re-sign Morrissey to a massive 8 year extension.

There is no connection between Petan signing and Morrissey's contract. Petan doesn't get enough money to make even the slightest difference.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Look at the cap space. With Petan it will be very, very tight to get Morrissey on a long-term deal. Freeing up one million would likely be enough though.

1. Petan doesn't make a mil and 2. If he is gone he has to be replaced. If he makes 800k and is replaced by a guy making 750k you have saved 50k. That is less than chicken feed. Never mind that the replacement for Petan might make as much or more.

I doubt he ever enters waivers. In the event he ever did I would doubt that he would clear hav you seen the forward depth on some teams in the NHL. I will agree to dis agree on this one. This isn’t James Wright, Mittens, Ben Maxwell, Brett Maclean etc.. oh ya , all those guys were claimed on waivers.

He also knows the system very well. Some guys take longer to develop a pro game. He has lots of tools. Let’s see if he is ready to use them at the NHL level.

Perreault is sweating a lot of things this year but not this.

 

[PhilJets]

Petan is going to be needed by the Jets with that low salary.

He will break through.

He will be middle 6 staple for the Jets.

He will be on the 2nd pp unit right half wall.

He will raise the cup with the Jets

 

[KingBogo]

Think he signs for $800,000. Starts the season in the PB unless we get a few injuries out of camp. He will get a few opportunities here and there and it will be up to him to take advantage. There are no longer plugs in the forward group so the excuse of needing better players to perform well is gone. And no Tanev is not a plug, he is actually a pretty effective player in many ways. If he plays with more speed he has a shot of carving out a secondary scoring role on the 3rd line and maybe make MP expendable next season when we are really starting to feel the cap crunch. A signed Vaselainen may quickly end his hopes however.

 

[jetsforever]

I hope they give him time in the top-9 - if that happens I expect him to play well, but if he doesn't we can move on at that point. Same goes for Dano. We have at least one winger spot available, plus potential injuries.

 

[sting13]

We have $10 million in cap space right now, here's how I break it down:

$6 million to Morrissey AAV on an 8 year deal
$3.5 million for ELC bonuses

That only leaves $500,000 for a trade deadline acquisition, and nothing for Petan.

• We have 10.239 million. If Petan gets $800,000 that leaves $9.43 million. While the Jets have $3.7 million in possible bonus money owed, not all bonus is met. Also you can exceed the salary cap by a certain percentage when it comes to bonus money. We can afford the $5.5- 6 million for Morrissey.

 

[DJBiffWPG]

Petan will take up next to no cap space.

We're not using a 22 man roster.

 

[Whileee]

5.2M for Morrissey on a long-term deal, 850k for Petan.

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

Between 5.5 and 6 million on a long term 8 year deal. Before criticizing, you might want to look at our cap situation and do that math. Things are VERY tight when you factor in projected bonuses and especially if we want to have room to make a trade deadline acquisition.

Morrissey won't get $5.5 million & Petan won't get $1 million but I'll still play your game.

Counting bonus's the signings you suggest would indeed place the Jets over the cap by $26,670.

But the salary cap cushion allows teams to go over the cap by 7.5% with regards to bonus'

$26,670 represents a third of 1% of the cap, 0.34% to be precise.

I did the math as you requested. What are you worried about again?

 

[ffh]

Chevy is going to give 2 players who haven't made the team out of camp in the careers 2 roster spots. Possibly even a spot on the 3rd line. Back to missing the playoffs since this team is accident prone and they will get in to more games then they should. What happened to fighting for spots on team

Copp-Lowry-Tanev

Damn that looks sad with wheeler on the 3rd
Hiw much is he getting psid to plsy on thee 3rd line?
Is this 2019 season or 2025? Lol

And if you go over on bonuses, they count towards the following years cap. Do you foresee us being in a better cap situation next year? I sure don't. And where did you account for saving some money for a trade deadline acquisition?

 

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

And if you go over on bonuses, they count towards the following years cap. Do you foresee us being in a better cap situation next year? I sure don't. And where did you account for saving some money for a trade deadline acquisition?

To reiterate, the numbers quoted put the Jets a measly $26,670 over the cap.

That would mean the following year the Jets would have $79,474,330.00 as opposed to $79,500,000.00.

If you think that's something to worry about (it's not) don't worry. Neither Morrissey or Petan will be signing at the amounts specified, so you can put $1.5 million towards that $26,670 overage putting the Jets at least $1,474,300.00 under the cap.

The answer to your trade deadline question was answered in my initial post & restated within this one.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

We're not using a 22 man roster.

Not only that, the suggestion is a 22 man roster with 12 FWDs and 8 Def. It makes zero and I mean ZERO sense.

 

[MardyBum]

Petan is younger than Andreas Johnsson, who TO considers their second best prospect, who also went PPG in the AHL like Petan.

People really need to stop writing him off as done.
