nfreeman Posted September 27, 2019 Report Posted September 27, 2019 So do they need to trade someone to fit Connor? Quote

Expand This is where all the problems come in. The cap implications. Buffalo is right up against the cap, along with 80 percent plus of the league. Buffalo can’t take salary back to sweeten any deal.

Either way, Risto will be fine under Kruger. Keep him. 1 Quote
matter2003 Posted September 28, 2019 Report Posted September 28, 2019 Wow he settled for a lot less than what i thought...but he did struggle at times last year Quote

Ducky Posted September 28, 2019 Report Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) Laine won't be traded. 6.75m is a bit rich if you compare it to Point but he is on his way to camp on a two year show me deal. I have no complaints about the deal... 6m for first year and 7.5m for the 2nd and no signing bonuses. We have enough to sign Connor. About 16m left and Buff's AAV is 7.6m. I am guessing 6 x 6.5-6.875m for Connor. Edited September 28, 2019 by Ducky Quote

Ducky Posted September 28, 2019 Report Posted September 28, 2019 Nah, if he performs like everyone expects, his next deal will be huge and the Jets will pay. Quote

Expand I said at least. Ultimately he probably stays, but.. There's hardly any kind of consensus on what to expect from Laine. If there was, a long term deal wouldn't have been a complete non-starter from the get go. Edited September 28, 2019 by Thorny Quote
Ducky Posted September 28, 2019 Report Posted September 28, 2019 They don't have the capspace for a long term deal with him if they expect to sign KC. Quote

Expand You know there's more to it than that, it's been reported on thoroughly. The Jets had no interest in committing to Laine long term at this time at an amount close to what Laine would have agreed to. It's a prove it deal. Similar to Reinhart's, (cost notwithstanding) though I think the caution was warranted in Laine's situation. Anyways, I still think he finds a way to round out his game at least a little bit, and if he doesn't score all his goals in one month going forward, he should get his goals and then like you say the $.
