Thread: Ranking by position for each player
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Finski</b></div><div>Mika yes, but Wheeler (while he has not been bad per se in the last 10 games) has not been the force of nature he once was. I like Wheeler, and he brings a very nice dose of very skilled veteran leadership to this NYR team. Wheeler is on this team for 1 reason and that is on this team is to bring a Stanley Cup to NY (so that is why I have classed him as a "filler player").</div></div>

That's true, he's lost quite a bit of speed over the last years, and doesn't score many goals, but he's still an excellent playmaker which shows from time to time.
I was glad that the Rangers got him and not some mid or bottom team. I would like to see him win a cup this year, if the Jets doesn't ofc 😁

Yeah, it looks like we see it the same pretty much.

In know the Jets could use a top 4 RHD, preferably big and physical. Barrie is neither and his offense is more than offset by his awful defense. That's something the Jets don't need to introduce to the lineup.

The thing with Lindholm is that he won't extend. If he's not going to extend in Calgary he sure as heck isn't extending in Winnipeg. So, for a rental that's an insane never before seen return. Plus it kills the defense and weakens the bottom of the lineup. Making the Jets a more top heavy, weaker overall team.</div></div>

Yeah I see your point, I hardly find Barrie to be the optimal add neither.

In my mind Tanev wouldn't be part of the deal, hence a lesser return for the Flames. But you're right, if they're considered true rentals who's gone next season it's an overpay for sure. I just would like Lindholm on the Jets, really like the player.

"The Jets don't need a bottom pairing PP specialist, so Barrie is out."

Agree to an extent, they do need a D who's got some offensive upside though imo.

"Insane overpay for two rentals in the Calgary deal. When have rentals ever returned that much?"

Not insane I think, if they could get Lindholm to extend they'd have the 2C issue solved.

"The Jets don't need bottom pairing defenseman, so they aren't trading a contributing bottom sixer for one from CBJ."

I agree completely.

"They Jets can't afford to trade one of two RD they have for a winger they don't need with a bad contract."

I agree again, Demelo is a solid partner for Morrissey and the Jets don't have a surplus on RD.
