Pretty solid deal for the Jets

 

[vanarchy]

Great signing, I believe he'll rebound.

 

[Captain97]

Good deal, he is at worst still a good third liner/okay 2nd liner and 3.75 is a steal for that.

 

[Hunter368]

I wonder if this confirms/hints that Copp is being traded.

 

[MapleLeafs94]

Seems pretty fair. Jets would be in a tough spot down the middle without him so kinda had to be done.

Edit: lol I forgot they traded for PLD so please point and laugh at me. My statement is worthless

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

I like that deal for the Jets.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Most Jets fans are really happy about this. The ones that aren't happy are wrong.

One of the few players we had with CF% over 50%, scored at a 0.5 ppg clip and ran nearly 55% in the faceoff dot. He still brings a lot to this team, especially leadership. Great signing at $3.75M.

Gives the Jets time to find a 3 or 4c in their bull pen.

Tbf we have as well sometimes.

Lets hope we don't need Stastny at C next year lol.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

What's with people saying we have trouble finding C's?

We have Scheifele - PLD - Lowry down the middle, likely for another half decade at least. Copp is also a C (if he stays), as are Perfetti and Lucius. We have no problem down the middle.
4th line is a year-by-year thing. I didn't mind Thompson/Lewis/Perreault, since they were probably the best 4th line we've ever iced, but that's super easy to change.

Woah. I wasn’t really expecting this. Great news for the Jets.
He is still a really solid player.

 

[Em etah Eh]

Woah. I wasn’t really expecting this. Great news for the Jets.
He is still a really solid player.

Closing in on 80M in career earnings. Not too shabby…

edit: didn’t mean to quote you on this.

LOL! You corrected yourself almost immediately. You definitely get a pass for that.

 

[libertarian]

I like this deal a lot. I wanted Stast to stay but I was worried about the term the Jets might give him.

1 year is perfect!

Well done Jets!

Yeah, he hasn't quite meshed how you'd think he would, you guys arguably have the best top 6 wingers in the league or atleast top 3, so he has no lack of talent flanking him.

He did have that phase in Columbus where he just floated around the rink earlier in the year probably whispering to himself "trade me", also the long quarantine as well. Those definitely could of effected his play this year.

I feel like Jets fans will see a much improved player this year anyway.

 

[Guardian17]

Great to have Stastny back at a reasonable price!

 

[jetsforever]

Awesome, glad he's happy to come back

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Glad he’s back.

One year is the perfect term. $3.75 M is a bit rich, was hoping for less than $3.0 M but overall me likey.

 

[Buffdog]

I figure that out of the 3.75M, 2.75M is for what he will bring on the ice, and 1M is for what he'll bring in the room (gud vet).

Hopefully chevy has clued into the fact that your veteran leadership guys can also be good hockey players

 

[dredeye]

Can’t go wrong with that

 

[jetsforever]

I figured he could get more in FA, but he does seem to like being in Winnipeg at least.

 

[GordonGraham]

If the season ends up a disaster could be move for sure at dealine on deal like this

 

[Bounces R Way]

That sweet Manitoba discount. Very solid signing, can still contribute and isn't a liability at all.

 

[Chevx]

Pretty solid 3C vet solution for reasonable money. If Jets fail to be a play-off team (seems unlikely but who knows) he can deliver some later picks at the deadline. Good job by the GM.
