Thread: Jets Blow It Up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Is there are market for them? Or is just reporters trying to relevant and churn up trade talk so they can keep their jobs? The Jets ownership probably doesn't want to go into full tank mode until season ticket holders have renewed for 23/24.. I'm with you, I hope the Jets get a good return for these players and kinda start anew in 24/25....with cap and some new blood.
Right now, the Jets are "competing" with UFAs. So team might want to complete their rosters with UFAs, instead giving assets to the Jets. Closer to TDL, there isn't the UFA competition and the cap for hight priced players is lower for teams to fill their roster</div></div>

Very true. I just see them reporting Vilardi, Iafallo, potentially Byfield, picks from LA for Dubios which I feel like most combinations of those guys is more valuable that I put for my trade. I just hope they actually rebuild and not lose them all for nothing

They refused to move him for Horvat who i’d rather have. And Landy after his rookie year. Not moving him for locker room cancer, defensive liabilty. Especially when the top RD behind his Mitch Miller, ya, that Mitch Miller and the free agent market sucks. No we don’t want Demelo either.

Jets fans are delusional that they can get Carlo. Only piece that would get him on the table is Perfetti. And by weeks end you have zero chance.</div></div>

I think you're way over valuing Carlo, but that's ok, I know I have a bias towards my teams too. Just interesting to see what other fans think. What's a reasonable return for Scheifele in your eyes? I just think the Bruins could use top center that isn't pushing 40

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JBrger18</b></div><div>As an Oilers fan I would rather trade 2 first round picks for this year and next in place of Holloway. Although I complelty respect the value of Holloway in that trade. The Oil need to start keeping their drafted and developed players only way to get better. But I would love to have Hellebuyck.</div></div>

Coming from a non oiler fan, I completely agree. I feel like the Oilers need to let their young guys develop. If you have McDavid / Draisaitl down the middle, you will have success (Crosby / Malkin example, build around them with young, cheaper pieces)

But like I mentioned in my explanation, I think the Oilers were a legit (or even average goalie... sorry Smith) goalie away from making a deeper run. Getting an arguably top 5 player at his position in Helle might push them over the top, and you give up anything to win a cup in sports now days. So maybe players like Holloway, or Pulijarvi become available

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>vikhodush</b></div><div>I think you can get more for PLD &amp; Helley.

Canes trade is very interesting - not sure how likely WPG is on retaining 2x4 but I guess in your scenario they're entering a full rebuild. I actually would do that deal the more I think about it. My preference would be to get a younger goal scorer but Wheeler is still a very effective PPGish player and would be a good replacement for Nino if he left. 2 years remaining fits as well with when Canes will need some extra space for raises to guys like Aho, Pesce, Jarvis, Turbo.

Not sure if he'd want to come to CAR but I think he only has 5 team trade protection and I would imagine he wouldn't mind coming here to chase a cup.</div></div>

I just think without retaining salary on Wheeler, no team is going to want him. I see the Canes as a team that is right on the cusp of a championship, and I'm not saying Wheeler is the missing piece by ANY means lol, but I figured they might take him for 4 mill, plus getting Vesalainen who has potential, just hasn't been given an opportunity in Winnipeg IMO
