They said they wanted to get better on D. Im not sure Jj does that at this point. But I don’t hate it. He’s Crosby’s buddy. 

He's also 31 years old so...5 year deal yikes.  The Pens will be fun to watch when they go into re-build mode and trade Crosby, Malkin, Letang etc.

Not a big fan of that contract. Hopefully they can salvage his career like they did for Schultz & Oleksiak.

If I was in charge, I'd trade Letang now. He's an adventure defensively and gets hurt too much. Pens won a Cup without him last year, and he was terrible in the 2nd round this year. Trade him now while you can still get a good haul for him. I think the Oilers would pay big for him.

Oilers likely gonna send RNH with him so... Carolina? 

For a 6th round pick, maybe. 

I'm not sure if Chiarelli is the worst GM in the league but he's got to be up there. Most Canadian teams are saddled with terrible GMs. Vancouver, Edmonton, Ottawa, Montreal.

Calgary?

Toronto TBD.

Winnipeg one of the best (me love you long time Mr Chevy).

Nothing on Stasny. Looks like he's leaving. 

The longer it takes, the more likely it seems.  But people like Bob Mackenzie seem to think Stastny would want to wait until Tavares is done to see what the offers really are (with Paul being some teams' second choice).  Although when Bob says things like the Jets are trying to move salary...well, do it.

Supposedly teams have been told he’s staying in Winnipeg. If that’s true it might explain why it’s been quiet...it’s possible they have a deal worked out but jets need time to get their ducks in a row 

grain of salt of course 

 

TSN1290 related so that's 2 grains of salt.

Goodbye Mason and Armia (so what happens now? is Hutch going to be a backup again?) on the other hand maybe this means we're keeping Stast

11 million AAV. Insanity

Yup large market teams make it very difficult for small market teams to thrive. 'Hey it's great to play here' is no match for 'that brinks truck out there is for you'.

Price to pay to have Montreal eat masons contract was Armia. Jets get a prospect back that provides some D depth.  Hate to lose draft picks but those later rounds are currency and they used it here. 

Jets likely not done. Need a back up (mason??). And might need some more cash too but I can’t see them taking the risk of trading their back up if it wasn’t for something really good like Stastny. 

Arnia going opens up potential for Dano, petan, maybe even Vesa to make the team.

Well the Chicago method worked once/twice but now its 2/3 guys for a good portion of the salary. 10m/yr for being a good Captain?

Couple knocks in that idea.

1 - those three all shoot left

2 - Dano, Petan
