Free agency is a win for the Jets with this signing.

Finally, some cool news!

 

[Buffdog]

Nice

Big W for the Jets here. Amazing utility player that can play anywhere in the lineup for cheap.

 

[pictman]

Good deal. A very versatile guy.

 

[WolfHouse]

There's our 2C...

 

[Daximus]

Solid deal for Names. The players love him, character guy by all accounts and a versatile forward we can plug and play in the bottom 9.

 

[SUX2BU]

Welcome back, no name

 

[Jetabre]

Provides some solid depth

 

[Joe Hallenback]

yay very happy with this

 

[KingBogo]

Nice signing. Happy about this one.

 

[surixon]

He fit in well last year. So I guess he might be our third line LW that can fill in at center.

I'm happy with this

[Tasteless Beaver]

Yay! We need the versatility, I’m glad he decided to stay.

 

[CorgisPer60]

For a middle 6/bottom 9 tweener, I don't hate it. Namestnikov does enough good things to counteract the negative value, and it's a 2 year contract. I'm OK with this.

 

[Guardian17]

Happy to have him back!

Very good news indeed...

 

[jetsforever]

Not bad, seems like a decent bottom-6er

 

[kanadalainen]

Wow - another beauty deal
Like Namestnikov

That's the good stuff. I don't hate that lineup. Some youth, some solid vets, some speed, some shooters. We dropped our Croissant but we picked it up. If We sign Helle to a nice team friendly 5-6 year deal then I think we likely aren't contenders but we still are competitive.

 

[DRW204]

There's our 2C...

If he is then OOF

 

[Hunter368]

I like it

 

[kanadalainen]

If he is then OOF

Thinking third line - injuries etc notwithstanding

 

[snowkiddin]

W. Love this guy. Good utility player. We have some good forward depth now
