Thread: Lets go
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>Ive seen so many posts about trading Pionk and I dont get it. Sure he's having an off year, but he's the best option they have in the top for on the right side after Demelo. Moving Schmidt up doesnt make the jets a better team IMO</div></div>
I think the blueline is pretty well set, large physical right handed dman are hard to come by, so upgrading what is there, probably needs to come through the draft or possibly bargain hunt a trade or ufa. No quick fix so might as well ride out the contracts on the right side, make a little room on the left soon for the kids and hopefully there’s a right handed dman to push or jump the line soon. But going to take time, and definitely not trading from a strength so better to stand Pat.

Thread: PLD UFA read description
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jonh514</b></div><div>This is an insane premise. No way PLD signs for 1 year in the offseason. Habs will have to trade for his rights or lose their chance. I am a diehard Habs supporter but this premise that all Habs fans are spouting is total nonsense.

Can you name 1 player in the last 10 years who has signed 2 1-year deals in a row if he had any other option? The risk he would be taking with his career and future earnings does not justify the return he will get.

His rights will be traded in the offseason to a team that will sign him to a long term extension for 8M or more per season.</div></div>
I still think there’s a spot here where he resigns in Winnipeg for 3 years 8.5 to 9.5 and then traded in two years, when jets window is closed or closing and possibly Montreal at that point or somewhere else then goes 8x at 27 years old

Thread: timo time
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChadLucifer</b></div><div>The Jets will only making a Timo trade if he’s re signing. The thing is he won’t. But if we’re talking hypothetically Chevy only does this move if he re signs. The jets can fit Timo as Wheeler will be shed this summer. Dubois will be leaving in 2024 so that’s more cap. I think in this world the jets retain Helle, Scheif, sign Timo and have Lucius fill in 2C as Dubois walks. A more realistic trade would be
2023 1st 2024 2nd Heinola Chibrikov
Nikita has serious top 6 potential and Ville has top 4 potential
Jets sign Timo 8x8.5</div></div>

Hypothetically speaking, but would it not make a decent amount of sense for the jets to offer up a 3/4 year deal x 9.25 say or a bit of a overpay for Dubois, have him for 2/3 years and then trade him and he goes out and gets his 8x contract at that point. So short term Dubois gets big bucks and still leaves him young enough to hit a higher cap and his 8x contract.
