What would both of you see as a fair deal to move Z? I based this value off of a recent AGM post where the feedback was that he wasn't worth a 2nd and a 3rd.

Thread: Center with CBO

I've never been a Johansen fan. $8M for 5 years is a heavy hit for a guy who seems to have become a 50-60 points guy. That said, I can't see Nash accepting this deal. Too much Seth Jones egg on their face.

Thread: Flat cap no CBO small trade

I like Eakin's signing. Seems like a great value contract. Beaulieu likely starts the season ahead of Samberg and/or Niku. Would be interesting to see if Eakin could play RW with Copp and Lowry which would allow for the 2015 line to be reunited.

I'm sure if the Jets felt that Ghost would be a good fit, they would look at that.

If no team will take him for a pick or a prospect, the Jets could always cut him loose. With the cap space I'm projecting, they are only a half million away from affording him anyway.

Thread: Free Agency Fixes

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>I think that leftside needs an upgrade. Beaulieu is a decent depth option, Niku is trade bait IMO and Samberg still needs to show he's ready for the NHL.
Ken Wiebe suggested the jets go after Brendan Dillon to play with Pionk. At first I wasn't sure, but adding a physical stay at home vet makes sense...at the right price</div></div>

My concern is that the Jets spend cap on a guy like Dillon then stunt the growth opportunities for Heinola, Samberg, Chisholm and (if not tradebait) Niku.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldNYIfan</b></div><div>But he may be physically unable to play.</div></div>

Then he would go LTIR and Jets could save the CBO or use it on Perreault.

Forum: Armchair-GMApr 16 at 12:37

Thread: Alternative

I agree with DeMelo over Vatanen and I'm not a fan of the Edmundson signing unless it is a one year deal. Niku, Samberg, Heinola, Chisholm and Stanley are all LDH prospects to play long-term behind Morrissey. I would far rather see Beaulieu brought back for depth and let the prospects battle for ice-time. I believe that one of Niku, Samberg or Heinola will distance them-self from the pack to play second pairing minutes. I also can't see the Jets exercising a CBO on Little unless he is wanting a way out. TNSE is too loyal for him to be cut off for the cap difference between Haula and Little.

Thread: Three way trade- Minny Mon

Fair value for Domi. Don't understand the EDM trade. Keep the pick and put Lowry between Perreault and Copp. The 2015 line of Harkins-Roslovic-Appleton was fantastic this season. Edmundson's deal doesn't make organizational sense for the Jets. With Morrissey, Niku, Heinola, Samberg, Stanley and Chisholm all LHD in the system, I would rather see them bring back a 3rd pairing guy like Beaulieu or Kulikov on a 1-2 year value extension to let the prospects battle for the 2nd pairing position with Pionk.

Need some added opinions.</div></div>

It would leave the Jets with a line-up that would look something like:

Connor-Sheifele-Wheeler
Ehlers-Domi-Laine
Copp-Little-Roslovic
Harkins-Weal-Appleton

Assuming Domi can be signed for a reasonable amount, (ie $6M/yr or less) he would definitely help fill the 2C position. It has been a challenge finding a centre to work between Ehlers and Laine as they are unpredictable. Weal's $1.4M for the coming season is reasonable but he could be a one and done with UFA status at the end of the season. I have always wanted the Jets to land Honka. I don't think you are far off on value from the Winnipeg side. I don't think Domi will get to 70 points as he would be on PP2 with Ehlers, Little, Roslovic and Morrissey. Overall, seems like a good deal.

Great news for the Jets. Along with Morrissey, Heinola, Niku, Stanley and Dahlstrom, the left side is looking promising.

Lindholm is a good defenseman but not worth Laine straight up. If the Jets move a top 6 forward, it will be for a 2C or 1RHD.

Thread: Blockbuster with Flyers 2020-21

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krzyk0</b></div><div>Flyers decline, easy. No reason for them to sell so low on both players. Lowry is a 4C and Vesalainen has middle six upside. The 1st, likely mid-round, isn't that valuable as the Flyers are trying to compete now. Although Patrick has been underwhelming so far given where he was drafted, he's already proven to be a capable 3C at 19 and 20 years old. I wouldn't give him up for that package, yet alone throwing ghost in too.</div></div>

I was seeing Flyers posts where armchair GMs were using compliance buyouts to rid the team of Ghost's contract. I hadn't realized that his inclusion would be seen as a "buy low". Leaving him out, what would be the return you would hope to see from the Jets for Patrick?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Granlund isn't a center, maybe sign Haula to a 3 or 4 year deal instead.</div></div>

Granlund would be willing to play centre if it meant playing with Laine and Ehlers. If it doesn't work out, Wheeler returns to centre and the lines become:

Connor-Shceifele-Laine
Ehlers-Wheeler-Granlund

Thread: Top prospects with description

Well done arafay. Solid list. So much depth at LD. I expect to see some fierce competition coming into camp and then a trade of an odd man out for a forward or RD prospect. Still like to see them take a stab at Honka as a RD asset.

I honestly wouldn't pay much at all for him. He's one of my favorite players but I don't see the Jets paying 1/8 of their payroll on a second line centre. I can't see Chicago retaining salary for 3 years which would be the only way the Jets should entertain a deal.
