<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>None of the deals make sense for the Jets.

Reinhart would be alright, but is a luxury while Pionk plays a more important position. Reinhart has also reverted to his norm and isn't worth this much.

Schenn isn't worth a 2nd to the Jets. In effect the Jets are giving up a top 4 defenseman, a bottom 6 winger and a 2nd to downgrade their defense and pickup a luxury winger.

Toews isn't needed or worth a first at half salary.

Overall, the Jets add unneeded players and weaken their roster. It's not something teams that are playing well do.</div></div>
Value might not be perfect but this makes lots of sense for Jets.

I’d take the downgrade on Pionk to Schenn if it means giving Heinola an opportunity + getting a more defensively sound pairing/PKer + freeing up cap.

Even if Reinhart isn’t a PPG player this year, Jets need secondary scoring and haven’t gotten it from Appleton.

Toews is pricy but would likely get 4th line matchups if Lowry’s line is focused on shutting down other teams. That sounds like easy points to me.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>delneggs</b></div><div>Look at what Drury has done since becoming GM. Traded for Goodrow and Blais, and signed Reaves, Nemeth, Tinordi and Hunt. What do they all have in common? They play physical, in your face hockey, the biggest thing the Rangers have lacked for years. Plus, they are all big players, with the exception of Hunt. Drury also really values leadership. Schneider has all these things and will be cost controlled for several years while the team will be up against the cap. He is also a right shot D. So why on Earth would Drury trade him? The answer is, he won't. He will trade Nils Lundqvist before he trades Schneider. People were talking all sort of garbage about the moves Drury made and how he was a fool. Yeah, 21-8-4 so far this year. The spine he added to the Rangers has made a huge difference and Schneider is part of the future plans.</div></div>
Alright we’ll give you Stanley instead if it’s all about size

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheMooterus</b></div><div>Possibly, but with Lindell, Heiskanen, and Harley the Stars left side is set for the next 4-5 years, minimum. LD is not really an organizational weakness for them at this point. Their biggest organizational weakness is top-6 goal scorers. Perfetti would fill an organizational weakness better than any other prospect that Winnipeg currently has to offer.



Like I stated above, Heinola is a solid prospect, but doesn't fill an organizational need for the Stars. Harkins is fine, but he's a bottom-6 piece &amp; the Stars have about a dozen players that fall into that role &amp; their prospect pool is full of guys that would also be fine filling a bottom-6 role. He doesn't hold much value at all to Dallas.

If Perfetti isn't included in the trade, I honestly don't know what else Winnipeg would have to offer that would entice Nill &amp; the Stars to trade Klingberg, especially to a division opponent (once things return to normal).

I don't hate the trade value (if the 2nd is bumped to a 1st), but the only way Dallas is moving Klingberg is if they fill a massive need in their organization, and as solid as Heinola is he just doesn't fill that gap in their system.</div></div>
That’s fair - only piece I might argue is that Heinola has played big minutes in both SM Liiga and World Juniors on the right side and looked good. I don’t know Bowness’ tendencies well enough, but if he doesn’t mind running an off-hand dman, it could turn out well for you guys.
