Vladdy can play centre. Makes no sense for WPG especially because Vlad is the better player.

Thread: TDL 2024

This is exactly what the Jets should do.

If you can get both on reasonable deals, it helps with this year's cup run and future years. And you keep your top 3 prospects in McGraorty, Lambert, and Barlow.

This would be my ideal TDL.

Fair. But what is Lucius' value at this point?

It is more than they paid but if this is what it takes I am willing to do it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>That’s not too much at all .</div></div>

24 1st
24 2nd (Habs)
Lucius

For Chychrun half retained is a fair offer for both sides. I would also see if the Sens are somewhat interested in taking Iafallo back so the Jets have space to make another move.

I also wonder if the Jets make it a bigger trade and also bring in Tarasenko.

If i am the Jets I consider it... however there are better 2C options imo that might be cheaper, have longer term, possibly be extended and just a better fit.

Just to let you know, Heinola was in the opening night roster over Nate Schmidt per Rick Bowness but got injured in the last preseason game. It was devestating because that was his best training camp ever and was going to get PP2 minutes as well.

Thread: Reunited and it feels so good

Jets dont need another LHD. If the Jets trade for a D at the TDL it will be a top pair RHD or a bottom pair/depth RHD. Chychrun doesn't help that much, especially if we have to give up arguably our top prospect, a 1st and 3rd where he was worth less and playing better just a year ago. It just doesn't add up.

And for DeMelo contract seems like what he will get but sounds like the Jets will resign him.

Thread: Jets need Lindholm

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howie</b></div><div>There is no dman that would be available that is an impact player for less than what I paid for lindholm. Term means the cost is more as it's not a rental at that point. The team defense has been amazing and really doesn't need to be changed. Addressing special teams is top priority (pp, pk and faceoffs) lindholm brings all of them. The dmen are fine as you aren't moving 5 of them only one is schmidt and paying the price for say (rasmus Andersson) is not cheap and not a chevy trade tbh and paying to get rid of schmidt when he's been a beast defensively</div></div>

I agree that the special teams is the only issue right now however I believe that will work itself out. Connor coming back will also give that a boost.

My opinion on faceoffs has always been that they aren't that important.

I just feel like that price for Lindholm is ok but only if you are extending him which is impossible for the Jets and tbh is probably not the best idea.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Howie</b></div><div>Jets need a better pp, pk and face man which lindholm brings all 3 while being a legit threat down the middle after scheifele and move namestnikov and lowry to lower lines would make the jets super deep.

I agree however I think the assets can be better spent on a player with term. Lindholm is the flashy player this TDL but the Jets have a window of 2-3 years where they could use a big name on D or a C with term. Lindholm as a rental isnt worth a 1st 2nd and C prospect. The only issue is there will be a team that wants to trade and extend him.

Thread: Jets need Lindholm

Still dont know if I would pay that for a rental. It would make us better for sure but I think there are other players out there with multiple years that can be had for a similar price that can be a better fit. Dont know if Lindholm is the best fit for the Jets on the ice or contract-wise. 2C is probably the biggest hole on paper but Namestnikov is filling in very well in that spot. I would look more to the backend if there is a big name out there that fits this 2-3 year window that the jets have.

If you are talking about the cap, Jets have almost 5M in deadline cap space. So it's fine.

Probably have to add to both those deals but the depth of this team is wild. Would definitely be the favourite for the cup.

Thread: Selling is the right thing for the future

Even though Konecny would be a great fit and that's not a terrible price, however, Rutger is untouchable at this point. I would say that both Lambert and Rutger are of the table in any trade. Rutger is the future captain and will probably get into the lineup at the end of the season.

I would suggest maybe a Lucius in the deal instead with an extra something or maybe a 1st instead of a 2nd.

What rental is getting a top prospect, 1st and 2nd. The answer is none.

Thread: Habs

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>The Jets have no need to pay to move Schmidt. He's good defensive depth for this year and his cap hit doesn't hinder the Jets at all.

The Jets most likely just ride out Schmidt's contract, or buy him out if need be in the summer.</div></div>

I have to disagree.

Yes he is good depth, however, the Jets will need that cap space to make a trade at the TDL to boost the forward core and they still have Heinola, Chisholm, and Stanley (sadly) that can fill in with samberg on that bottom pair and iff they need to get a bottom pair RHD then Sean Walker is avalible in philly.

If a team offers this to WPG, they have to take it immediately. IMO this is too little to dump Schmidt. I fully believe it will cost near a first round pick in value to dump schmidt.

A 2nd and Lucius but calgary would probably get a better offer from a team that wants to re sign him... but the jets arent that team as we don't have the space to with the scheif and helle extensions.

Thread: To the Idiots Begging to Trade Vladar

Why would the Jets pay that much for a rental? Jets wont and cant extend him so no point in giving up a first and 2 top prospects.
