Wonder what the ask was going to be if the settle is at almost 6 per?

Im guessing the deal was closer to Pionk's ask then the Jets offer... Jets probably saw what all the otger D were getting this offseason and wanted no part of arbitration.

This deal should buy 2 UFA years since he turned 26 after July 1st. So it's likely close in AAV to what the Arbitration ask was.

Will need to see the JFresh analytics here, but seems okay as a first impression. My out of touch old world ways tell me that getting him and a first for Trouba with this contract is a huge win when you consider what Trouba has been paid and is still owed.

That Trouba trade turned out surprisingly good for WPG. Pionk’s game did a total 180 on the new team and Heinola is a top prospect

I'd think you would care more about what Zadorov is going to get.

Because the world provides no shortage of reasons to laugh at the Nurse contract.

Pionk is pretty great and he can score. Zadorov is a pure shutdown guy with zero offence. Don't see a ton of similarities.

The Jets got Pionk for 6 years after his ELC for 6M plus 23.5 M = 29.5 M

The Flames got Hanifin for 6 years after his ELC for 29.5 M

The Flames got Andersson for 6 years after his ELC for 27.3 M


How do the JFresh cards for Hanifin and Andersson match up to Pionk's card?

Where these 2 signings a plus or a minus for Treliving or just paying market rate?

Larsson, Oleksiak or Jake McCabe are better comparables for Zadorov.
I'd guess 4 x $4M AAV

Pionk is the sound the puck makes when it hits the crossbar.

The Jets have quietly had by far the best offseason of any Canadian team. It would have been perfect had they replaced their coach but it seems like Maurice has a job for life there.

Lol, I wouldn't even trade him one for one with Trouba if they made the same salary. Just shows how terrible that Trouba contract is right now. And Rags had to give up the better dman for it ha ha.

No one wants to play in Winnipeg but counter-intuitively it makes the Jets a better team by forcing them to avoid contract extensions and trade declining assets for good returns.

Then why doesn't the same thing work for Edmonton?
