Ducky Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 He'll be left unprotected in the expansion draft as Bustamente mentioned. IC Khari and bustamente 2
Jimmy Pop Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Nothing wrong with the Matthias signing. He's essentially what we want Lowry & Dano to be - but he's already established & proven. Great bottom 6 guy, and if it means no more Thorburn & Peluso in a Jets sweater, even better. Re: Trouba. Best news is no news, IMO. We have the whole summer to sign him and have all the power. The market has dictated that he's worth around $5M a season, and certainly not what his rumoured ask is. Be patient. Wait, he'll come around. Isles overpay Ladd. Why not just keep Okposo, if you could? I love what Lucic brings and even at the overpay, Oilers might be ready to push for a playoff spot this year. Vancouver.... Get a clue. Honestly. What the heck is that franchise trying to accomplish this season, long term, in general? No idea. Lastly: following this all from a house boat on Lake of the Woods. Boys and girls, this is the life.

The Unknown Poster Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Posted July 1, 2016 Seems like a guy that will work hard and lead by example. Might be management isn't sold on effort from armia/Burmi.Lowry. And he's better than Thorburn IC Khari 1
Ducky Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 I can't see him cracking the 3rd unless bodies are moved.

You're all gems! why do I have a feeling that Trouba is going to string us the same way Kane did during the 2012 off-season
FrostyWinnipeg Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Mattias: 6'4 231lbs, age 28, 12g 16a in 71 games Lowry: 6'5 210lbs, age 23, 7g 10a in 74 games Copp: 6'1 206lbs, age 21, 7g 6a in 77 games Bad day to be 4th line center on Jets.

Ducky Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 I've said all along that he won't re-sign until just before or during TC. Chevy has the history of going down to the wire with hard to deal with players.

They want more out of Lowry and this is a player that will push him. Could be either one gets pushed down to the 4th line and if so that's not bad for the depth. Worse case the Moose also benefit but I'd susoext Chevy has some irons in the fire on the trade front
Ducky Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 I can't see Lowry clearing waivers......Copp probably wouldn't either.
Floyd Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Matthias is a good addition to this team. Hamhuis at two years would have been killer... nice pickup by Dallas.

Rich Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Copp Petan Dano are all waiver exempt of our bottom 6 guys. Ducky 1
The Unknown Poster Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Posted July 1, 2016 Interesting. We all see the number of bodies and think jets won't add forwards but seems jets want to get better. Maybe bigger and grittier and aren't concerned about number of bodies.
Ducky Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Copp might be wearing the antlers this year then.

bustamente Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 Please don't get confused by Mathias size he does not play a heavy game, he has good hands and is a good skater with speed. some people were calling for the Jets to add a complimentary player and that's what he is. If he score's 10 goals and pk's well then the signing is adequate.
Floyd Posted July 1, 2016 Report Posted July 1, 2016 I think it would help Copp to spend half a season or more in the AHL... really think he could end up as a Frolik-type player but I think the Jets rushed his development.
