So instead you crash them to the bottom forever?
Ulmark needs someone to switch off with… like a Swayman?
You think Schmaltz is better than kfc??? Rittich is a UFA… his rights are worth nothing. Then you add a blue chip prospect in Lucius as well??? Given the cash that schmaltz is owed the return on him will be low.
Perfetti was a top 10 pick scoring at an above 60 point pace in his rookie season…. Starting to think you may not know what you’re talking about here….
Finally yes, I would rather make the playoffs every year just like Chevy has done. Giving away big pieces of the future in Perfetti and Lucius to get worse and adding a dman that can fight when we have a better one in Bauer makes no sense.
You’re entitled to your vision but I think this is a poorly thought out AGM.
Swayman / Ullmark wasn't enough. Ullmark had a great year, but he plays in Boston's system. Almost any goalie would do well in their system, but they need someone who can be the go to and Ullmark becomes the 1B.
Schmaltz is better for the Jets. Schmaltz is grittier. That's what the Jets need. Don't forget Vejmelka in that deal. The Jets will need a starting goalie once Helly is traded. Lucius has been hurt a lot. Leg injury in college and then again this year. He's "probably" going to play in the NHL, but at what level, we don't know. Schmaltz is a WPG style player... what they need.
Perfetti was doing very well. His hockey IQ, vision and passing are OFF THE CHARTS... but he's not fast and is VERY soft. He doesn't watch his back and stays on the boards too long. He may figure it out or he may not. No one knows.
My trades are about guaranteeing a tougher Jets team that will play grittier. It's a team that can compete and will grow together.
Look again at the lines. I have Lysell in place of Perfetti. Brought up Lambert , Kidney and Limoges.
