Slater has signed with the Jets. A 3 year deal; I haven't heard how much yet.
Tanner Glass has said he's 85% of the way towards signing an extension with the Jets.
The Pavelec rumours are so silly it's not even worth commenting on. If there's an extended lock-out he'll have no problems finding somewhere to play. Beyond that he'll be signing with the Jets, as expected.
Slater's deal worth $4.8, cap hit of $1.6 per season

Exciting week ahead for the Jets. The NHL draft has always been exciting for this franchise, and no different this year with the Jets drafting ninth-overall.
A lot of mock drafts basically have us pegged at Trouba. I'm thinking we go defense as well. But depending on how the eight others ahead of us draft, I may re-think that strategy.

Did anyone hear Dreger's theory on how Pavelec could end up in Toronto next season? What a joke. I guess it's a slow news day for him.

Love the Jets first three picks.
Was a little angry that we didn't take Forsberg, but I always knew Trouba would be a Jet. Just thought we would have taken a forward if one fell.
I love the Sutter pick. Always nice to have that Sutter bloodline on your team.

I'm pretty happy with the draft. Trouba was a terrific pick, and I think we're seeing a very clear intent on what direction Chevy and company want to go in: North American, physical, gritty, two-way players. Through two full drafts, including 13 draft picks, the Jets have only selected North American born players. In 2011 they picked 6 Canadian players and 1 American, and this year it's a 3/3 split. That seems to be pretty deliberate.
I like the Gustavsson signing. Yes, he's struggled in Toronto, but it was a tough situation, and it's fully possible that he can flourish in Winnipeg. If he signs he'll be backing up Pavelec, and that's a far cry from what was asked of him in TO. He's still a big goalie with a lot of talent, and given the right situation he could thrive. It's a very low-risk gamble that could pay off.
Interesting. I hadn't noticed the lack of foreign-born players in the Jets draft picks.
Seems to me the Jets are sending a message to Pavelec with the low-risk Gustavsson rights trade. I sincerely hope that Pavelec ignores one year of KHL dollars for something like a five year deal for $4 million per.
Great job on signing Pavelec to a reasonable contract for 5 years. Now time to get Kane signed to a similar deal.
I'm glad that the 2.2 million wasted on Fehr is now freed up.
