Thread: Gorton Working DET EDM DAL BOS COL WPG

Interesting package for Ehlers. Usually trades that involve 5 nickels for a quarter are embarrassing but I think you have a decent deal there. Might be something better suited for the draft floor if the Jets were high on a player when the 1st round pick came up. Might have to be the Rangers' pick instead of Colorado.

Staal is still a pretty solid player and at $3.25M for the balance of this season and next is a good value (33 points in 46 games) IMO.

I've really liked what I've seen from Harkins in his limited action. Shore has seemed a step behind the play. Otherwise, a talented roster that should see themselves a tough playoff match-up.

Thread: Free agency

I'm interested in your thinking to sign Domingue over resigning Broissoit or promoting Berdin? His 4.15 GAA and .862 save percentage don't inspire confidence. I doubt Niku would agree to 2 years at $1M and press box duties. If the Jets sign Hamonic (which I support), he either needs to be moved to the left side and earn a top 4 role or be traded. Hamonik, Pionk and Poolman is a decent right side. I'm less confident in Morrissey, Heinola (1-2 years away) and Sbisa. Too much cap space left on the table. I'd like to see the Jets pick up at least 1 middle 6 forward, 2 if Little retires or remains LTIR.

Matty P, although he has C status and has played in the past if a winger. I honestly think the best version of the jets forwards has Little at 3C with Matty P and Copp and Lowry at 4C with a combo of Appleton, Bourque or SHore</div></div>

I know it has been limited experiences but I have really liked the Copp-Lowry-Roslovic line when together. Granted that Detroit on Tuesday made everyone look great. Maybe Little returns to the second line but as RW with Ehlers and Wheeler???

Thread: Buff and Little Retire

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DarylMcNeckHead</b></div><div>Who are we going after in free agency? I know the obvious Hamonic but trouble will be convincing anyone else to play here.</div></div>

If they are on an expiring UFA contract, we won't have to do any convincing. Pure rental situation for a player like Kreider. Hamonic I think the Jets wait till the off-season and make him an offer as a free agent unless Calgary is willing to move him without the Jets giving up much future. Regardless, I would like to see the Jets find a player that they can spend cash/cap space on instead of future. Maybe help an eastern conference team dump a contract to allow them to make a move.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>Little isn’t coming back to 2c lol, we’re most likely looking at Wheeler at 2c heading forward, or even roslovic taking that spot. Also samberg and Stanley both will fight for a spot.

Ehlers-Wheeler-Roslovic
Perreault-Little-Harkins
Copp-Lowry-Appleton

Morrissey-Pionk
Niku-Hamonic
Stanley/Samberg-Poolman</div></div>

I hope that Heinola continues to push for attention and that Vesalainen finds his game and moves back into the mix. My ideal 2020-21 lineup would be:

Connor-Scheifele-Laine
Ehlers-Wheeler-Roslovic
Copp-Lowry-Little
Vesalainen-Perreault-Appleton
Bourque-Shore-Harkins

Morrissey-Hamonic
Heinola-Pionk

Thread: Jets

I might be a homer but I don't see value in these trades. Niku, Rosy and Lowry are long term core pieces being replaced by a declining Green and two over-aged philly prospects. The second rounder alone should get your Green. Perlini's 1 point and -11 +/- in 19 games doesn't add value.

I see him as a great buy low candidate. Had he been given the same amount of top 6 opportunities during his ELC as Connor, Laine and Ehlers, I doubt we would be looking at anything as low as 5x5.

That would certainly put Tampa in a tricky spot. I would definitely prefer to see the Jets negotiate his rights without having to give up a first rounder.

What a value the Jets are getting out of Poolman. First pairing minutes for two seasons at $775K.

Too much for Hamonic IMO. I can't see Calgary resigning him and Winnipeg would be on a very short list of teams he would be talking to in the summer. Vesalainen still has time to get comfortable in the North American game.

Thread: 2020-2021 first crack at this

I would hope that by next season, the Jets are confident with Roslovic in the top 6. Little will likely be in the bottom 6 when he returns this season. Heinola and Samberg should also be knocking at the door to make the Edmundson signing unnecessary. If the Jets could get that return for Perreault, they should jump at it.
