Thread: Jets Cup Contender
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>gretzkyghosts</b></div><div>Actually, if the Jets are in a win now mode that is a good trade for both teams.
For the Jets:
Stanley has only played 7 games since the beginning of the season so he is spending a lot of time in the press box, while Johnson would add playoff experience even if he only practiced with the team.
Iafallo has not worked out as well as expected IMO and Okposo is out producing him comparing per 60 minutes: Goals 0.9 v 0.5, Pts 1.7 v.1.2 and Hits 4.3 v 1.7.
Remember Okposo is playing fourth line minutes and may still reach 15 to 16 goals.
That production from a fourth liner is money in the bank. Let's not undersell his value.

For the Sabres:
Alex gets to move back to his place of birth, he is younger than Kyle and he may bring the same energy that Tuch did playing for his home town team.
Stanley is a huge LHD, large players take longer to develop, and defensemen take even longer.
Granato likes to put large players on the PK, so while Buffalo is over loaded with LHD, he may fit Don's mold.

Over all:
The Jets make this deal to win today, the Sabres make this deal to win next season.</div></div>

Iafallo may not be scoring as much this year, but it's likely due to him playing all over place to cover for injuries. He's so versatile, great defensively and already knows the system. I'd rather keep him than trade for either or both of EJ and Okposo's potential 15 to 16 goals.
