Thread: Jets Blow It Up
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CapsJets</b></div><div>I initially thought that too, but there seems to be a market for them! Which I'm happy about lol</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

Thread: Everyone Wants Out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>For the record I'm not one of these bitter Jets fans cause most don't want to play in Winnipeg but who announces this two years from UFA, most of these guys are willing to "play ball" and help a team out but he just sank his value for the Jets, what a fukcin d!CK move!

What infuriates me though is the fact neither Laine or Roslovic had a problem with Winnipeg, FFS what a stupid organization!!</div></div>

Agreed. After Trouba rescinded his trade request, he and his agent played ball by being quiet about his plans. It never leaked out that Trouba had a list of one team where he would sign an extension, which enabled Cheveldayoff to get the best return he could from NYR. I remember a report which mentioned Jim Rutherford (PIT at the time) said that he offered a much better package for Trouba, implying he didn't know of the one team list (otherwise the offer would have been lower).

Thread: Everyone Wants Out
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CapsJets</b></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></div>

Yeah I could see adding JP in there before I would want Holloway in there. In addition we could add a goalie prospect Olivier Rodrigue (not sure what WPG has for goalies in their prospect pipeline). But a tandem between Helle and Skinner would be unreal. I would do that anyday.

Thread: Gibson Thoughts
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>qc14</b></div><div>Thats probably a bit too much for trocheck both in term and aav -- with the savings you probably scrape enough to sign a vet d to the minimum if alexeyev and johansen flop.

For the gibson trade, his stats have been bad, not average, for the past three years, and those stats remain bad when accounting for the strength of the team in front of him. That would be the absolute absolute maximum I would give up for him, and would want the ducks to either take back hagelin or downgrade the prospect from Iorio to Johnson/Leason/Protas level at least.

That said, this would be a really nice team</div></div>

You and I are on the same wave length on everything you said.

I signed Trocheck for that much because I didn't want to see the comments "Trocheck gets more". With the scrapes, a vet d to league minimum would be great.

So funny you say that: For Gibson trade, I tried to take out biasness (and also didn't want to hear the "not enough" for Gibson - despite that, still got a comment like that lol). I wouldn't give ANYTHING more than what I would above. I thought about taking Iorio out and putting Leason but opted not to (to avoid bias). Also thought about making the pick a conditional 2nd (if Caps make the Cup finals and Gibson plays 10+ games, turns to a first).

But overall, your thoughts were exactly mine as well.
