Thread: Im new to Nhl What team should I cheer for
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeastModeUnknown</b></div><div>My advice watch YouTube highlights of each team or watch a few games and decide for yourself don’t let anyone else pick for you because that’s heavily opinionated. I’m a hockey enthusiast, I played, I have a talk show, I’ve done announcing for high school games, I’ve coached, and I don’t hate any teams and I really don’t dislike any team. But my suggestion find your own path into the fandom and what team you wanna root for. When you pick a team, this place has a lot of good people to give you information of what you need to know about relevant information and the teams history. I’m more than happy to show you all of the advanced stats you need for any sort of trade or value argument and even who is better arguments.</div></div>

Some good advice there, only thing I would add is there some amazing rinks with amazing loyal fanbases out there, and you will recognize it, when you get a chance to catch a full building with noise and atmosphere to solve it. I’m biased towards my jets and what seems to be a noisy sell out most nights. But enjoyed Chicago and Minnesota when I caught games there and Vegas surprised me in inaugural year. Phoenix I enjoyed outside the rink and the day spent there, but fanbase didn’t quite have what the other rinks had. Anaheim was all right, calgary and Edmonton quality too. You can’t go wrong, depends on patience and or needing a winner quick lol

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>I would agree there would have to be a one year test period. We have to know what Laine would be asking for before it makes sense who to move. If Laine is looking for 10 mil per, it might make sense to move him for a top 4 RHD and high end C prospect. If his ask is reasonable and his play is progressing further, I think you move Ehlers for a top 4 RHD.</div></div>
It’s actually quite amazing what the jets seem to be able to do with castoffs and no name blue liners, morrissey plus 7 seems to be coming together all right, answer may come from within or bargain bin, but yes probably need some cap for the blueline can’t put it all in forward group and starting tender. I just about put laine and ehlers together as a bromance, keep both or deal both, kinda the continued build or rebuild. But yes going to be entertaining team for a while.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Fun fact: The Jets 1st they swapped to Vegas turned into Suzuki...
Fun fact #2: The Jets 1st they swapped for Stastny turned into Sandin...
damn sandin and Suzuki basically what the jets need right now, possibly a rhd sandin, but pretty much what is needed in my opinion. Depends on playin round for mtl this year, if they give pit a series and look close, they may not sell the farm for lafreniere, but if they get smoked I could see a serious large package being offered for a hope of a French Canadian superstar
How would those guys look in Jets jerseys?!.. Lol

Well if it's me and we landed Lafreniere and Montreal was really wanting him I'd push for a long term extended Domi plus a couple more good pieces, what those pieces would be I have no idea, Domi would have to be protected though but I don't see an issue with that, really shouldn't get hung up on losing an Andrew Copp type player, yeah he's a good utility guy but he really shouldn't be that hard to replace and Gustafsson is coming up so not a huge loss if Copp goes to Seattle imo.

I really don't know what Montreal would give for Lafreniere, I would think quite a bit but I really don't know, those players you mentioned are their prized assets, don't know if they'd part with them even for Lafreniere.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Well I guess they could add both but I'm sure Hamonic will want trade protection to keep him here and not Seattle bound, he'll want to remain close to
Lake of the Woods and I'd hate to see DeMelo lost in the expansion draft, I wonder too if one of Gawanke or Kovacevic isn't pushing for a top 4 job in a couple years.

Well I'm of the opinion that the Jets need to stop paying Vegas for their cap dumps and I like Stastny but he chose the Knights so **** em he can stay there or Vegas can compensate the Jets to take him if they want to move him to sign Lehner or improve their defense or whatever, this guy already cost us Armia, a 1st round pick that turned into Sandin and now we're gonna throw more assets away for him as a 34 year old UFA, I say **** that noise, there's other options out there.

Really think Ehlers and Laine are mature enough now as players to make a line work with almost whoever, might work with Little this time around should he return, they just need someone with more offensive ability then Copp.

What's the Montreal package you're talking about?
If the Jets land Lafreniere I think inquiring about Eichel is what Chevy should do.</div></div>

100 percent on Vegas, we still owe them a playoff beating and not going to do it with there cast offs, Mcnabb playing angry in wpg I wouldn’t mind and getting paid to take the 6.5 stasny I would get over, but both done cheap.

Eichel would be awefully tempting for sure, I wonder if he would sulk or try to play his way out of wpg, but damn there wouldn’t be a hole left with that add, I was thinking mtl would come up with a healthy package for a French Canadian superstar. With mtl having a few guys playing in the league exempt from expansion draft would intrigue me, Suzuki/brook and a couple firsts somewhat protected top 3 possibly. Or maybe kotaniemi/Romanov and similar firsts, I’m not sure what going rate would be
