Thread: Jets at the deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>These trades make little sense for the Jets. (Roslovic for the rights to dick around with Puljujarvi seems particularly odd.) You'll have difficulty making the playoffs so it's unlikely you'll be renting Vatanen or anyone else, and the only guys you have that might realistically move are Copp and Little (due either to the fact that you don't want to move others or that others have NMCs or NTCs). I think that you'll be pretty quiet at the deadline unless you can acquire some better draft picks.</div></div>
Possibly some depth dman to contenders for some picks possibly, I’m hoping for a hockey trade with another playoff missing team for a rhd with some term worth protecting along with pionk, and morrissey. But probably wrong time of year for such a deal.

Thread: was going to make reactionary deadline sale post but this team only has trash
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>I’m definitely open to moving Stanley and niku to upgrade. Also, as for little I just don’t see him playing much longer. I have an eerie feeling that he’s going back get another concussion and retire but if he doesn’t they should consider that. Also, if jets did fire Maurice. He’d probably get the Seattle job. I think Wheeler will only ever play for Maurice again. Wouldn’t be surprised if he asks to be unprotected to go to Seattle with him.</div></div>

Fair enough, I hope Chevy learns a little more cut throat and slows down some of these reward/loyalty contracts, especially at the worth of the signature instead of through out the contract. Personally I would have dealt wheeler with one year left, a little harsh, but losing so many assets to free agency injury or retirement is awefully hard on the squad with only gaining cap space, damn it’s going to be tough if rebuild has to come without success

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>Oh trust me I knew we would g be great either. I know it’s hard to blame Maurice. Especially considering he’s done a pretty good job with what he has. We just need a new face. It would’ve been so much different if buff would’ve just said from the beginning he wasn’t going to be playing this year or next. I agree that we should inquire on gallant and then have Samberg and heinola playing next year. We might as well just retool this year and go for it next.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bunzy1034</b></div><div>To be honest while I’m definitely not the biggest Maurice fan, it’s tough to blame him for how things have went this year.
Keeping a Ben Chiarot and if buff could play could have DRAMITCALLY impacted our season. Unless if a miracle happens and we turn things around, I would like to see us hire gallant and have Samberg and heinola both on the team next year. going after FA dman or pick on up in a trade. I knew from the start of the season that we weren’t going to be great this season.</div></div>
Random question off topic, expansion protection list is 731 or what’s alternative. Laine, scheifele, connor, roslovic, little, wheeler, and copp, morrissey, pionk, niku/Stanley/poolman, helly. My main question is ask little to waive and possibly deal niku and Stanley for somebody better worth protecting. Or what are the thoughts? I know it’s still 18 months away, but after watching tonight I prefer looking ahead than back

Thread: Cup run with an assist from min
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Paul13</b></div><div>Jets would need to retain on byfuglien probably about 2 million and he would have to prove he wants to play, ideally so Wild could play him a sell him to a contender next year if he can rediscover his game. I've heard he is working his way back, now that his surgery on his ankle is in the rehab state.
Also Jets would need to offer a better prospect than Niku.</div></div>

Stanley also or poolman and stanley, or what did you have in mind. Was hoping Chevy could scoop rookie gm guerin. Min is such a squad stuck in between with big contracts suter and parise, and can’t really go into a rebuild with them on books. <div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MNBassman</b></div><div>(No comment!)</div></div>
What’s next for min to knock them out of yearly bubble status.
