McGroarty isn't available.

That's an expansive package the habs won't do.

We are better off drafting a forward with the 5-6 OVR, then trading up with our assets to get another forward in the top 15.

Canes aren’t looking for a quantitative package of meh. Canes have the space to sign Necas, and have no reason to move him. Unless you force the Canes hands with a qualitative package, Necas isn’t being moved.

My God that's a massive overpay for a player Jets management can't get signed.

Guhle alone is worth more that Mcgroarty and you're adding other players on top of him?

"That Jets management can't get signed"

People really don't do any research lol. We have zero roster turnover next year, McGroarty was sked if he would like to play in the AHL or go back for his Junior year, he went back which makes sense.

He'll be on the Jets roster in 25/26, there will be no issues getting him signed.

Great, doesn't change that it's an overpayment.

I agree the Jets won't have trouble signing him but walking him this close to being a FA will always carry a risk and if the managements plan doesn't align with the players, that will cause a problem. Look at cutter and Philly, don't think that will happen here but it is the risk that Jets management is taking

And I agree! Don't get me wrong, I don't like the deal for either side. There is a bit more of a risk I guess but like you said as well, I don't think that will happen with McGroarty. If it does...I will eat my words and cry.

Chevy is smart enough to not take it that far, id have faith in a signing or equal value trade if I were you. Still think the league in general needs to do something about the college FA situation, what it is, no idea but it shouldn't be that much risk in those drafted players
