Thread: Winnipeg-Carolina Blockbuster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockyluv21</b></div><div>Because of the difficulties that I know Winnipeg has with UFAs, I sort of wrote that proposal as an on-purpose overpay to finally secure that top-pairing right-handed defenseman that I'm sure the Winnipeg brass has long coveted. On that contract, Pesce will at least give 4 seasons of great defensive play for any team that he plays for.</div></div>

Creating a bad contract on purpose is one of the dumbest moves a GM could make. The Jets could just take on an existing bad contract if they want to do that and save the assets. The whole point of a sign and trade is for cost certainty, but that doesn't mean certainty of a terrible deal. The Jets don't even need a defenseman. Pesce is a great player, but not if they are trading assets for a deal that you INTENDED TO BE BAD. ffs

Thread: Wing Around the Rosie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JhonnyCanuck5</b></div><div>I guess my point is if you’re not competing for a cup, and your window appears to be closing, why not go full rebuild and get as many picks and prospects as possible? I see what you’re saying about Larkin but I think the circumstances are different. Detroit is on its way up, Winnipeg looks like they’re on they way down. Trading a top guy who is under contract for picks doesn’t make sense for Detroit given the current stage of the rebuild(unless it’s an offer too good to pass up; see Hronek trade). The Jets window looks like it’s closing and adding those picks could jumpstart a rebuild rather than spending 5 years in Ken Holland’s hockey purgatory. Just a thought.</div></div>

The Jets can trade him in a couple years if he won't resign. There's no reason to become Arizona
