Tried to get creative on a trade target as many just include tanev which will have many suitors. Also tried shuffling the lines a bit. Lines aren't perfect but they should at least try them.
Jet get dumba who is a good rhd that does a bit of everything from blocks to hits and had previous offensive capability back a couple years ago so if really needed could be a pp option. O'Brian is a physical presence as a 13f could replace someone on the 4th line if the chemistry is off/injuries. Will grind out every shift, finish checks and not afraid to start a scrum/answer the bell.
Arizona gets 2 young nhl capable players. Gustafsson really just hasn't been a standout when on the 4th line and he's only 23 so he's traded to a team that may be able to give him minutes and develop him. Stanley is rn a 7th dman on the jets but that doesn't mean around the league he wouldn't get more regular time elsewhere. Just imagine a Stanley Lamoureux pair (6'6 & 6'7)
That's interesting. You'd think they have to consider it. I think they want a D prospect for Dumba, though. Not sure Stanley still meets that description. But it's okay value depending on how they see Gustafsson.
Too much for yet another bottom pairing defenseman and a plug. Neither make any difference on a playoff team.
Need depth for the playoffs bud and these players add something the jets don't have 1 a physical specimen in o'brien that will stick up for anyone and create chaos. Dumba pushed schmidt put of the top 6 which is major plus. The most important aspect is stanley gone so he isn't an option down the stretch and playoffs and ville has more shot to come up as well without losing stanley for nothing on waivers. All in all you hate all trades whether it's cost or the player or even just because you just want to say the jets keep their insane guys. Your opinion would mean more to me if you actually suggested alternatives or what it would cost instead of "nah too much for a bad player"
Geez
I'd rather keep the 4C then the 4LW thats due a raise in another year.
I'd rather the better player. Bottom 6 can be replaced easily so keeping barron for 2 years and maybe makes 2m next contract (will be an rfa and can be traded or not signed)
