make this deal in order to be ready for the soon starting postseason.
Ever since I took over Jets' franchise a year ago, my hands have been pretty tied with the huge contract of Bryzgalov. I actually couldn't keep the contracts of Marleau, Pavelski and Campbell because of salary cap problems. I missed the amnesty B/O window, and have been kicking myself to the head ever since.
Our prospect pool is in very good shape, allowing me to sell one of De Haan/Koekkoek/Zadorov. Seeing Kreider and Koekkoek leave is definitely sad but I am very delighted to see some new quality guys in Jets jersey and make a push to the Stanley Cup finals.
Calgary can continue their rebuild mode - these pieces should give them a substantial boost. Let's see what you will do with Bryzgalov
