Thread: Hellebucyk Deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Canoehead</b></div><div>The Jets can move on from the interim coach and get a solid NHL coach. They can re-adjust their forward group using the cap space freed up by Copp and Stastny leaving and use that and maybe deal some defense prospects to address the forward group. If the Scheifele trade talk from Seravalli pans out, then that would also go a long way of rebalancing the forward group. Those are the types of things that are more realistic and what Calgary did in the offseason.</div></div>

Calgary is in the easiest division in hockey, and they were coming off a year where everyone had a down year. Markstrom, gaudreau, and tkachuk we’re all awful but now they are playing at all star levels. While they had a few key additions, it’s mostly their key guys having bounce back years. While the Jets could have a bounce back year, they are in the Central and it would be very tough to make it out even with a retooled roster IMO.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>It doesn't matter how good you think Broberg is, he isn't needed. At best he might be a marginal improvement on what Winnipeg has if he hits his maximum potential. But with the Oilers draft and "development" record, I'd rather trust the Jets drafting than the Oilers. Just look at how many first overall busts the Oilers have had. They've had more first overall busts than most teams have had 1st overall picks! It's not encouraging trusting the Oilers scouts.

Now, if you want to move Skinner for his actual value the Jets could throw a 3rd or 4th your way.</div></div>

Most of the Oilers draft busts have been consensus picks by all scouts and teams. Every team would have taken Yakupov at 1 and puljujarvi at 4 if they were in that scenario. Bouchard can take broberg’s place in the deal if that floats your boat. Why do you think the jets can compete in the hardest div in the NHL next year by re-tooling? Do you think that their current core can still get it done?
