Comes a time when you can't over pay veteran's and have to let the younger players take over, this will happen to Buff and Wheeler if they want big dollar extensions.
Looks like Mark Stuart has been put on unconditional buyout waivers, so we won't have him to bash this year hopefully they don't sign Alzner actually looking at the UFA d men I don't see anyone that I would sign.
I think a couple of years ago Morrissey put on some weight and he said after that year it hindered his game. plus he's not built to run over guys but he also doesn't shy away from contact.
Generally I think the Jets did well with the expansion draft and the draft looks like may have some keepers, crap shoot really apart from Vesalainen who I really like. I'll give the Jets a solid B for the draft got BPA at 24 and filled a need for d-man prospects. Next week free agency starts and while I don't expect Chevy to pull off anything major a tandem goalie is a must.
Tonight went about as good as it could get considering that we were drafting 24th, a lot of d-man went no need to reach just to say we got a d-man that might be ready in 3-4 years, we need a 5-6 defenceman this year BPA was the way to go
No reason that Vesalainen isn't as good or better than the 10-15 picks before him, another year in Europe probably in the cards and hopefully can make the jump to the Moose in the year following, maybe he surprises us.
