Haha I beat him to the rumor but he he beat me to the deal and put it in the speculation thread. We've been waiting all summer for this, and with how much it could involve a Risto deal I figured a separate thread outta do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted September 27, 2019 Report Share Posted September 27, 2019 So do they need to trade someone to fit Connor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Nah, if he performs like everyone expects, his next deal will be huge and the Jets will pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 They don't have the capspace for a long term deal with him if they expect to sign KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 $.
