Depends what Nash is looking for. I’d probably give a first, maybe add Niku? I wouldn’t sacrifice a top 9 forward though

Ok, so WPG isn't interested. Good to know.

I’m not a jets fan (ignore the hellebucyk in the name- it was a phase) but Copp has been playing out of his mind. Probably doesn’t meet Nashville’s needs but that’s what’s close in value imo. I could be dead wrong.

The Jets best offer realistically should be Niku + 1st. If they get outbid, that’s fine. We need RD over LD anyways.

I agree with this. Plus with expansion coming up, I don't believe it'd be wise to get into a bidding war.

I see Niku as the type of of player you grab on waivers, not so much an asset in a trade. I don't think he'll ever amount to more than a good AHL player/fringe NHler.

As Ekholm will require a 1st, it's not worth it...we need that first for a RD

I mean I know a lot of people don’t watch Winnipeg. But copp was playing like a true top 6 winger until Dubois got back. The guy had 12 points in 13 games playing on the 1st line with 2nd unit PP time

I’m avoiding a bidding war at all cost. We have good LD. We need RD.

I don’t disagree, I just think that’s realistically the best offer the Jets should make. They don’t need LD. They need to bolster the right side.

I mean ekholm is really good so a lot prob. I would do it without disrupting the core of the roster and Heinola/Samberg/Perfetti.

Again, I’m undervaluing here but you should watch Copp

While I don’t think copp is a bonafide scorer, or a first line guy. He provides so much away from the puck and looked really good in the top 6 this year. He’s honestly probably worth more to the Jets than ekholm would be.
