Seriously you are the one not seeing it what's the point of the NMC if your gonna drop down 11 spots in the draft to protect Enstrom anyway ? Makes more sense if it was Lowry or Perreault....and Dano ? What has he shown that we needed to lose out on a potential LD defenseman we desperately need? And if we lost Enstrom 5 million buys us a pretty DAMN good replacement d-man. No this deal is a massive over payment for 2 marginal player....unless there is something else coming our way.
They were already protected we moved down to protect Enstrom who waived his Nmc? or the fantastic non scorer Dano....wow Chevy your genius knows no bounds if this is true...??
Well it doesn't make sense for the Jets to ask Enstrom to waive his nmc then work out a deal to keep him. Pretty sure Vegas passes on him if not...meh.
Nope Vegas ain't going after a dman at Tobys age and salary....we just lose Dano...and draft and trade Toby? Who's gonna pay 5 million to trade for him? No Vegas is going after younger cheaper players...with the odd Marquee player like Neal...imo. I just heard that Button has said because Toby only has 1 year left makes him attractive but Toby hasn't been healthy in 2 years I think it's a wash. Ethier way we lose Toby it's 5 mill off our books.
Couple guys in league available but Vegas is going to be in tough to be competitive...not as bad as when we got into the league both times but the cupboard looks bare for wasn't it 50 million? Screw the expansion teams still alive and well in the NHL ?
Knox is still on the roster,it's not written in stone that Hurl will start. Perhaps we should wait and see if Hurl starts and how Hurl plays before we say all is lost and woe is me??
Yet how many players hold out when they do have a break out season.....Enstrom had a brutal year last year and wasn't great the year before...give back a little...no way Vegas takes him at 5 million...its not a big gamble for him??but would help the Jets who have stood by him the last couple of mediocre to brutal years....
Yeah well if he is here and we lose Perreault or Lowry or Myers it's ethier Enstrom gets crapped on or Chevy take your pick... looks like Enstrom is gonna throw Chevy under the bus....nice way to pay back the Jets who overpaid for him and stood behind him with his horrible year last year...no Fleury here that's for sure..
Well if there is one criticism of MOS that doesn't wash is that he is quick with the trigger in cutting guys...he gives guys more than ample time to prove themselves or not.
Make the playoffs? That's why we didn't sign a vet goalie last summer when they knew they weren't going with Pavs? No making the playoffs was not a priority last year going with youth was. So why keep a dman that's gonna cost us big? Big time fail on Chevy anyway you look at it.
We could lose Myers or Lowry or Perreault...for nothing. If we lose Lowry or Myers that's really gonna hurt for a team that has only made the playoffs once in 6 years..
Yea I know gave it to him in a long term deal then sat on his hands last 2 years when he knew he had to protect Myers and Trouba now we are stuck ....this is from a GM that knew this was coming at least 2 years ago... who supposedly looks at building our future first?
