Grinch Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Makes sense! I imagine it’s pretty hard to attract players to Winnipeg in free agency or trying to get contracts to the players they got. unfortunately for Winnipeg they have to pay a lot to keep some talent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) 3 hours ago, DeNiro said: Also they’re both 30 years old… Yup, not sure how Helle will age. He's elite though, one of the few tenders who definitively is, guess we'll see. Maybe he holds up better. Surprised Scheifele stayed, surprised they kept him. Hard to replace though. Jets have to pay to keep guys in Winnipig, it was either this or lean towards a rebuild of sorts. 1 hour ago, Captain insano said: Everyone saying JT was overpaid Ehhh, some folks were arguing he could get more, I was one of them. His current cap hit is good value at the moment, the key phrase being at the moment. Part of the rift over Miller relates to differences in opinion as to how he'll age. I think he'd be less of a polarizing point amongst the fanbase if his deal was only four years long as opposed to seven, lot of folks aren't interested in giving players large dollars late into their 30's. Lot of Jets fans probably feeling this today. I'm skeptical of how his deal will age, always was, I would have flipped him for assets. But he's locked in now, we'll have to wait and see.
