coastal.view Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 am done work a bit early today so am chilling at a pub, downing appies and beer, hey it's happy hour and perusing online sites and had a look at capfriendly and the jets situation after having just extended their keeper and i know it is crazy ... but what the heck . .it is slow summer time after their latest signing the jets have crept slightly above the salary cap floor and still have to fill out their roster a bit but what struck me is that if the jets can keep their salary payments at the current level they will have $95,972,136 available at the trade deadline in 2019 so what should the jets do at the tdl in 2019 with $95,972,136 ?? might cost them some draft picks as well but i'm sure they could add a lot more then just stasney like they did last tdl they could take on cap dumps as well to sweeten any trade deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Blight Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The Jets have only 17 players signed so they still need to sign 6 more players to fill out their roster. They have $20.6M to sign these 6 players and that would include Trouba, Morrissey and Lowry. I suspect they will have no more than $4M to $5M in cap space after signing 6 players. Next year they have to sign Wheeler, Laine, Connor and Myers to new contracts so they are actually going to have to look at shedding salary to meet the cap next year and I don't see how they can be adding any bad contracts. By the way, the Canucks show $59.7M in cap space at the TDL and they already have 23 contracts signed...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Well, Morrissey, Trouba, and Lowry will need new contracts, so that $20M is going to decrease pretty quickly. Then Laine is going to take up between $8M-$9M in an increase the following year, while Wheeler will likely require $5.5M. They’ll have enough for them, as Myers will be coming off the books. They’ll have to part with Perreault or Little to make it work, but that shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I see the Jets prob wanting to move the Little & Perrault contracts. Too much young talent, means a fat, swelled head for a lil' tight cap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, of course. But they’ll likely add someone who’s contract is expiring. Based on who’s available, and the two seconds of work I’ve done, Gustav Nyquist may be the best option.
