NHL Jets have reportedly signed G Steve Mason.

Ok, so we are currently paying Bishop 8.5 mill for 5 yrs cause that's what it take to get a solid starter in, what happens when Ehlers' contract comes up and at this rate he will put up at least 70pts this year, so can we afford him? Oh, and Laine the year after, well he's a once in a decade goal scorer, he's probably going to continue developing in an upward slope, he wants to become the best after all, he will probably earn a pretty high paycheck, and don't for a second think Trouba is going to follow his bro Scheif and take a hometown discount, he will probably have a contract upwards of 6. You have to play the market you're given with the players you have. Yes it took some time for us to get a team close to contending, but just because it hasn't come together sooner doesn't mean it has failed or it is wrong. We don't have an especially shitty schedule this year, we will start the season with our best possible lineup and so long as we don't get bent over by too many injuries, we will be just fine.
