Wish salaries would level off eventually. Why is it expected year in and year out that salaries skyrocket.
Signed: Older guy who remembers the first Blue Jay to get $1M/yr to play a game back when I was a kid. Back when we could go to games in the bleachers for $2. 😮
No, on Ehlers at that price and term.
Hayden is a no brainer as he wants to stay and come back.
Tanev was great in the playoffs for his energy. But 2 plus mill on the 3rd line that can go up on the 4th seems high. They will keep Appleton. They love him. He will sign a lower price tag as he had a bad taste going to seattle and could not run back to the jets fast enough.
Connor will get signed first. Ehlers is going to test the market . Slamburg and Pionk will be tied together. Expect a long term deal.
Great video Connor. Sign Lars. Sign Vilardi and Slammy. I know ppl arent going to like Ehlers at that price, but he should be a Jet for life.
EHLERS should not get 8 years. His game is speed. Won’t age well.
Fleury is great love his play
No brainer: Fleury at that price.
Long term: hope Samberg.
Bridge: Villardi
Let em walk: Tanev, Apples.
Want him but $ won't make sense: Ehlers, unfortunately.
Great video Connor
I hope we can get Ehlers back but I think he walks. No to Apples for me. Yes to Tanev around that 2 mil mark. Yes fleury at a min.
