He could become a top4 D rather quickly. Great deal for Winnipeg.
Wow, what a crappy agent Stanley has.
So the Jets got a 900k player that over matches 3/4th liners, still has some room to grow and won't be thrown in over his head. Works for me.I'm still cautious with him. He played well on the 3rd pairing but saw little to no high end competition. He played against 3rd and 4th liners and bottom pairing defencemen for the most part. I think he's a very effective 3rd pairing guy but the trade for Dillon and the Morrissey contract says to me the Jets don't think he's ready for top 4 minutes just yet.
This contract isn't really a surprise. He wasn't getting 1.5+ on 40 games of NHL experience that has largely been sheltered.
he's still going to be playing sheltered minutesI think Stanley at this salary is fair, if he were to get paid over $2M+ per season he will become a whipping boy real quick.
We’ll see how he plays now that he’ll not play sheltered minutes.

Should have been done earlier. Don't get chevy never will. Appleton and brossoit is miles better then copp and comrie. But for some reason he is going to run with comrie if he can get copp signed under the cap. Don't wait for a copp trade. Only if he heads into arbitration will he likely trade copp. He sure likes to gamble on these goalies. 3 years ago he gambled on Hellebuyck and hutch and they weren't ready and the team missed the playoffs. Hellebuyck better not get injured.Signing for under a million helps the Jets cap situation now that the Jets have Dillion and Schmidt contracts on the books. Fair contract I would of been ok if he had sign for 1.2-3 million a year so it saves the Jets a small amount.
Time to resign Pionk long term now before arbitration and trade Copp for picks and use the Copp savings to sign a better back up goalie.
would have easily match so what would even be the point?This guy could have received a 1.3M offer sheet by any team with no compensation whatsoever.
I don't know who is more incompetent between Stanley's agent or the numerous GMs who would rather pay extravagant sums for pilons.
Sweet deal for the Jets.
