Warhippy Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 That's actually not a terrible deal at all and for all 8 years no less. Myers also hit 31 points last year is 29 and at 5 years older than him being only 250k cheaper makes this just such a beauty deal for the Jets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Clearly this guy is captain material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tystick Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Backend of the deal is very good for WPG since he turns 30 during his 6.4mil season, and so on. I wish the Canucks would get deals done a year in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 WPGs defence is still a mess tho. This deal doesn't effect this years cap, but if they resign both Laine and Connor there's nothing left to fix that defence outside of a major trade.

I think one of those guys gets moved for a D man personally. Risto's available in BUF and they've done numerous deals before...just saying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph. Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) If they trade either it has to be Laine. More pure scoring and all that, but if I want to win I keep Connor and take advantage of any Laine hype there is left. This Morrissey contract is great for the Jets, assuming they handle their cap effectively going forward.

I just think WPG doesn't have the players to shield Risto, and he'd be even more exposed in the 'peg, and then they lose one of their key scorers too. Yikes.

There's still some very quality prospects in the WPG back end and Florida has a bit of space and two people very familiar with Big Buff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Interesting to see it front-loaded, but I suppose since he'll be a UFA anyways at the end of it, back-loading makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) I would think this is comparable to Brock. Different positions and ages but very comparable as worth for players. IE, in my opinion a Brock for Morrisey trade is a fair trade. Edit. Not saying I'd make this trade, but it would be a fair trade.

Yikes. WPG has the luxury of quite a few 'key scorers' in their forward group. I also doubt they'd be finished making moves for D and he'd be playing 2nd pair behind Buff (with FAR better two way forwards supporting him as well)... that's more 'shelter' than he's had at any point in BUF.

Duodenum Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Great deal for the Jets, just signed their #1 dman long-term at an amazing price. Jets fans gonna love this, looks like GMs are winning the RFA war so far (except Dubas). Ehlers, Schiefele, Morrissey all on long-term 6 million per deals is great cap structuring.

Coconuts Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Solid deal for the Jets, that's one less thing they need to worry about going forward. Morrissey's a good one. With salaries increasing that'll probably be a steal in a couple seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myers got 6 million per and he's well below Morrissey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
