Thread: Retooling the Jets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Feelers4Ehlers</b></div><div>According to the report from the Athletic because MTL isn't a contender the price for PLD would be closer to $9M. But he said for a contending team he would take less.



If im a team like BOS, NYR, COL (contending teams) I would slightly over pay for him. The reason being these are teams that have strong leadership and have stars that can out shine PLD. But PLD is a player that has all the tools to be a 1C. We have seen glimpses of it. But because both markets he has played in he has been "The Guy". Whether that meant being a top 3 draft pick in Columbus and pretty much the only skilled played back when he was there. Or in WPG he was always labelled the guy who we got for Laine (who was loved by the fanbase) So he was always focused on. Which it seems he doesnt like.
I'm actually happy with that report that came out from the Athletic because it gives Chevy more leverage against other teams to actually get a decent return for him. kind of like the Tkachuk situation last year.

What would your thoughts be if the package from MTL be Justin Barron, Anderson, and FLA 2023 1st?</div></div>

We're thin on RHD and Mailloux is a very decent prospect. As for FLA 1st (31/32OA) I wish they package it with 37OA (and more, including prospects) to get a higher 1st round pick -- I'm looking at PIT 14OA.

Thread: Kevyns Plan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Feelers4Ehlers</b></div><div>Winnipeg accepts that for sure. Has Jokiharju really dropped off or why only a 2nd round pick for him?</div></div>

The fanbase's opinion of Jokiharju is drastically lower than what Adams and Granato's opinions of him are - and fans don't form the roster or dress the lineup. It's pretty clear, based on what each man has said, that they see Jokiharju as part of their future. He may be slotted on the 3rd pairing if they find a more experienced addition on the 2nd pairing but thinking that Jokiharju will be dumped to any team that wants him is purely a fan's unrealistic wish.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUF10</b></div><div>Kevyn Adams would rather have Dustin Tokarski than Matt Murray. He’s not going to want Murray after he already said no to them.</div></div>

1000% correct. If there's one thing Adams has preached since he first started, it's that he only wants players that want to play in Buffalo. Murray already made his feelings known last year - any reversal in hindsight he may make in waiving this time would appear self-serving and disingenuous and Adams would likely see that. Besides, with his injury history, what would the benefit of bringing him in be when he'd be less reliable health-wise than what the Sabres have now?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GetTuched</b></div><div>So keep the defense the same? They just can't go status quo, disaster waiting to happen</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BUF10</b></div><div>They will add another defenseman. I think it will be a LHD to play with Lyubushkin Stillman 7D Bryson waived.</div></div>

If they add a proven veteran defenseman to stabilize the top 4 with Dahlin / Power / Samuelsson, that'd allow Jokiharju to be slotted to the 3rd pair beside Lyubushkin. With Stillman and Bryson around the same age and cap hit but with Stillman offering some rare physicality over Bryson, I'd anticipate that Bryson will be dealt or waived by training camp.
