Thread: Back to playoffs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>If the Jets are adding to Wheeler they need more than a plug coming back.

Not a chance the Jets sell that low on Scheifele. Winnipeg has absolutely no need for any LD. Especially an overpaid second pairing one.

The Jets have no incentive to give Dillon away for nothing. A 4th on it's own is plenty for pool party.

I don't think Ottawa needs Schmidt, but a 3rd is fair.</div></div>

While Scheifele would likely return more than Provorov your analysis of Provorov is garbage, if you think he is overpaid then Morrissey is grossly overpaid both have struggled since losing their defence partners that made them into top pairing Dman and I'd say Provorov has been more affected because of the quality of team surrounding him compared to Morrissey.

Thread: Stab at Giroux Deal And He Returns
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div>Giroux is nice but the Avs really don't need a lot for another forward. Besides if Colorado is the only team that Giroux will waive too, Avs, don't have to give up so much. If long time Flyer Giroux wants a Cup run, do you really think the Flyers will deny him, especially if they want to resign this summer?</div></div>

Avs do need another forward didn't 92 just have knee surgery? Even if Giroux says he will only go to the Avs that might take a bit of leverage away from Flyers but not too much if Edmonton, Calgary, St Louis start loading up for playoffs and Vegas starts to get healthy. Now they've given up a couple of assets with the Manson trade. Avs don't have a first or second in 2022 draft and Fletcher should get fired if he let's Giroux go for any combination of draft busts like Kaut, Bowers and Yost. I think I would have been ok with Helleson coming back to Flyers with a pick(s) but he is now gone and I have no idea how good Olausson or Behrens are maybe one of those guys in a deal might work. I'm sure Flyers goal is to get Barrons.

Thread: next year plus scheifele deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>I think that’s jets fans just being super frustrated with results. Scheifele is like that one girl you just are always going back to no matter how frustrating it can get. He’s a great offensive player but he’s just looked disinterested defensively as of late. Looks like he just doesn’t want to buy into the defensive system. We’ve seen him play well defensively but as of late he’s just disengaged. I think he’d benefit majorly from a change of scenery. He doesn’t fit the current system too well, a coach like gallant would be great for him. He’s awesome in transition.[/quote

Chipman has been too loyal to players, coaches and management, there has never been consequences on players that don't play defense, coaches got complacent, Huddy has been here since the start and defense constantly struggle. I'd be willing to keep 55, 44, 17 and 4 if Chipman would make some hockey operation changes and see what they could get out of the group but need to upgrade some on RHD and bottom 6 as well.</div></div>

Thread: next year plus scheifele deal
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>Scheifele is going to cost you one of Laf/Schneider + one of Lundkivst/Barron + 1st at least.

I know you compared this to the Eichel deal but that’s basically comparing apples to oranges. Eichel was hurt, and wanted a controversial surgery. He also had publicly requested a deal and said he wouldn’t play for the Sabres again. That right there lowers his value a ton, not to mention there were 2-3 teams interested.

I mean look at what Arizona wants for Chychrun, he’s a LD, which is in less demand than a 1C in his prime at a reasonable cap hit with term left.</div></div>

Ya and after every Jets game fans says 55 is horrible defensively, isn't competing and him and 26 are terrible team mates. Same Jets fans sees trade on here for 55 and then all of a sudden he is a #1C in his prime with a great contract lol.

Thread: Would you do this in offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jgimp69</b></div><div>He had a few bad years after losing his parter in Trouba (which was a stellar paring btw). Couple that with the Jets losing the rest of any capable defenders and pairing him with guys like Nathan Beaulieu, what do you expect? He never was a play driving top line defender but has steadily improved and is coming back into form. Although he will never be a #1 play driving DMan, him and Schmidt/Pionk and/or Demelo have been capable T4 defenders.
Jets desperately need a #1 defender but the Jets decline.</div></div>

Morrissey should be sending part of his paycheck to Trouba. Could be top pair dman if partnered with a true number 1 dman but on really good teams he is a 2nd pairing dman. Three things to win cup very good goalie, depth down the middle and big minute Norris type dman. Jets have two of the three. They haven't recovered from 33 quitting.
