Illegal Curve Looks at Comps for Blake Wheeler's Cost
Buckle up Jet Setters, we need to keep our eye on all these RFAs, UFAs, and bears. Especially the bears. This is a solid article from Richard Pollack over at Illegal Curve; incidentally, Illegal Curve has been coming out with a bunch of interesting articles concerning the Jets lately, so be sure to check them out.
Also relevant: the chips are starting to fall. Per his Twitter feed @Astew22, Anthony Stewart won't be re-signed by Winnipeg. He becomes an unrestricted free agent.
UPDATE: Looks like, according to a report from the Winnipeg Sun, Rob Schremp and Brett Festerling won't be coming back, either.

RFAs could turn out to be a relatively big steal this offseason compared to UFAs – I’m assuming the basis for RFA contracts will be existing deals and UFA contracts are going to be driven by supply (limited) and demand (high, via cap space) for those players. It may also mean that there could be more Phil Kessel-type deals taking place for teams with money but no where to spend it.
Pretty good analysis in my mind. $3m sounds about right to me. He’s definitely a top 6 winger in terms of ES scoring rate and actually played reasonably tough minutes.

Yeah, and considering how thin we are on the right side, he’s a must-sign.
BTW, this is the article from the Winnipeg Sun.
I'd like to let all those NHL teams that passed me up in 2002 know that yes, I have managed to fill out my frame.

Schremp and Stewart
Anyone have an idea of why either of these guys aren’t coming back?
From what I’ve heard, both were getting better last year and could be improving.
