Too many teams bidding will drive his price up in UFA. I trust Chevy will sign him for what he wants or trade him for what he wants.

10.5m AAV but this year and for the next two seasons their actual salary is 13.8m. Ladd will only have about 25% of his contract left or 1.1m.

4G and 25A for 29 points in 26 games for a plus/minus of plus 26 at UND....sounds like a taller, more defensively sound version of Petan. 20th overall in last year's draft. I'd take this deal but if Chevy isn't, he must either be sure he can get more or is still trying to re-sign Ladd. I'm afraid it's the latter...

Lawless just said on the radio that Chicago has offered the 2016 first and prospect Nick Schmaltz for Andrew Ladd.

Hawks wouldn't be re-signing him. I could definitely see Florida going after him hard....even before he became eligible for UFA. They need optometrists in Florida too. They're a couple of years ahead of us in the rebuild process and have come key cogs to a championship team. Also, anyone looking for a good veteran player or to replace someone they lost. Different wing but Okposo probably won't re-sign with the Isles and I can see them going after someone to replace his offense.

No, because he isn't worth that kind of cash unless you are paying him for the way he played 3-4 years ago when St. Louis was feeding him the puck. TB's offer of 8.5m per year was fair.

Ladd probably wouldn't be re-signed by the Caps....strictly a rental.

If we were paying Myers his full salary (5.5m per year), do you think Chevy would be more inclined to trade him? Dam rights he would.

TO knows how to tank properly. The lottery wasn't in their favor last year but maybe this year.

I'd trade him for Nathan Beaulieu and a 1st and 2nd.

No, I can't think of someone that size that plays that soft...

What's wrong with trading Myers for a similar LHD, maybe one that doesn't play as soft in his zone?

Morrissey and Bowey played 33 games together and 13 were playoff games. If you guys think we are getting Bowey and a 1st + ?, you are kidding yourselves. We won't get Bowey and a 1st for Ladd. We might get Jonas Siegenthaler and a 1st but not Bowey and a first. I'd be happy with Bowey and a 2nd.

Ladd will not be on the Jets' roster after the TD if he isn't re-signed, don't kid yourself.

Anyone signing Stamkos for the rumored money it will take, will be sorry in a few years.

http://www.tsn.ca/leafs-trade-polak-spaling-to-sharks-for-torres-picks-1.441504 The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded defenceman Roman Polak and forward Nick Spaling to the San Jose Sharks for two second-round draft picks and forward Raffi Torres. The second round selections are for the 2017 and 2018 Entry Drafts.

What makes you think Morrissey will make the team? When are you going to look for Enstrom's replacement? A week before his contract expires?

I'd take that and run as fast as I could.

Hawks have some interesting LHD in their system. Pokka, Dahlstrom, Soderberg.

I taped the game but haven't watched it....how did Armia and Copp play?

With Hutch as the alternative and the way he was playing, Maurice had no choice but to play Helle.

Hutch to start.......

His price will be driven up with the competition in the off-season.

The Jets are integrating quite a bit of youth and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I love the Jets' plan of stockpiling picks and prospects and when they are good enough to contend, they have these assets to trade for piece(s) they think they need to push them over the top. It is hard as fans because we want to win now and we want to win every year. Read almost any article on young players and prospects and the Jets are either #1 or #2. Think about this for a second.....kinda off topic... If Chevy somehow got Hamonic without trading any of our D men this off-season...re-signed Ladd to 5.8m per year, bridged Trouba and Scheifele at 3.5 and Armia and Lowry at 1.75, and signed Connor to 1m, we could have this lineup next year for (if my math is correct) 71.245... Ladd 5.8 Little 4.7 Armia 1.75 Ehlers 1 Scheif 3.5 Wheeler 5.6 Connor 1 Perreault 3 Staf 4.35 Lowry 1.75 Copp 0.93 Burmi 1.55 (Lemieux 1) spare Trouba 3.5 Buff 7.6 Enstrom 5.75 Hamonic 3.84 Morrissey 1 Myers 5.5 ( Postma 0.9 Stu 2.625) spares Helle .7 Pavs 3.9 This lineup will get you into the playoffs and only adds Connor and Morrissey.

24G 27A for 51 points in 28 games... Hello Winnipeg fall of this year.
