Moving Connor

Created by: JohnnyS
Team: 2020-21 Winnipeg Jets
Initial Creation Date: Jan. 3, 2021
Published: Jan. 3, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
It sounds pretty crazy but Connor is so bad defensively that he actually has a neutral WAR, meaning he's not helping the team win even with his offense because he's so bad on D. Move him for a legit #1 DMAN and slide Roslovic into his spot, this team is dangerous.

The Pens trade is fine but a big no to the other two trades.

I think they rather Ekblad, as it’s easier to get a good winger. And it’s not as easy to get a top right handed defence man.

The explanation explains perfectly why Florida shouldn't do this trade.

Florida doesn't have the defensive depth to move Ekblad and Winnipeg wouldn't even consider moving Heinola for Fowler and his terrible contract and a 30 year old Grant.

It’s going to cost an arm and a leg to get Ekblad from Florida very nice contract right hand shot defenseman top hair guy that’s got it in the next year to be in the conversation of the Norris trophy every year. It’s going to cost a gross over pay to get Ekblad

This is why I don’t like the war stats, when the jets are truly at there best and hottest winning streaks of the past, it’s laine or Conner or both being red hot and scoring a pile of goals. Got no stats or numbers to back this up, but personal belief. Jets have to draft and develop to stay relevant so I would say no to moving on from the fin prospect, and them having a rather small lineup, I keep Lowry around, but don’t overpay.

Your team description is exactly why no one is going to give you a top d-man for him especially not a right hand shot one

"...Connor is so bad defensively that he actually has a neutral WAR, meaning he's not helping the team win... Move him for a legit #1 DMAN..."

Your words. So if he does not help his team win, why would someone give a "legit #1" D for him?

We have a new GM in town now, maybe Tallon would have accepted this offer.

Not trading Conner.... in case u haven’t realized he’s a HUGE part of our offence, U can’t just replace that. he’s untouchable along with Scheif and Helle

Locked up long term, willing to stay here and has no drama/baggage surrounding him

Everyone knocks him for being so bad defensively but only hear that on CF, oh well

Florida declines, Florida needs both Center depth and D depth which neither you provide. Florida doesn't need an expensive winger like Connor and DeMelo is a clear downgrade compared to Ekblad. And that Cam Fowler trade is purely laugh Cam Fowler has a 4 team trade list. pretty much guarantee you 100% that Winnipeg isn't on it besides no freaking way do the Ducks make that trade.
