<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>betahuman</b></div><div>That is far from the actual problems the Jets are facing. Not to mention that size is the most overrated thing in nowdays hockey. Big physical dmen don't automatically play good defensive game. Big dmen automatically don't play physical. My friend just take a look at Stanley or Myers, those are almost useless dmen. Pionk hits like a madman but is smallish. McAvoy is a small dman too but man does he play a good defensive and even physical game</div></div>

I’m not saying Dillon is good defensively just cuz of his size. He’s a good defensive player who I had been one of the only efficient Jets d men to actually get body position on forwards attacking the front of the net. Also size is not overrated. When u look at all the Stanley cup winners over the years there is a trend with the defence. They are all big bodies who are efficient puck movers and can play a heavy game. Tampa’s defence is huge, St. Louis had big defenders when they won except Vince Dunn was the only exception. Washington continues to have big rugged players on their back end. So size is not overrated at all. I’m not saying that smaller guys can’t play physically or that they are not good, I’m just saying it’s good to have some balance. They already have jmo, Pionk, Heinola and Demelo and a bunch of other small guys. They get worn down faster so it’s good to have balance.

This is the first one for Detroit that i would say ok to. Better overall value. The contract has to get moved and truthfully he makes more than he probably should.

The Monahan deal makes 0 sense for either team. Calgary could dump him for way less than 2nd round picks... Why would Winnipeg dump contracts to pick up another contract they dont need? Just seems like a bad deal.. Plus your still over the CAP</div></div>

The trade of Shmidt is not only a camp dump… it’s because this team needs to change up their ways of playing the game (aka playing the game the right way). Nate is almost all offence and his defensive game is very non reliable. The Jets need a new culture of playing the game the right way, playing simple hockey while being committed defensively. That’s what they will get in balance players like provorov, Samberg and keeping a guy like Dillon.

Monahan could serve as the replacement centre on the second line when Mark Scheifele is traded. I also think he could bounce back in a new environment, also playing with Nikolai ehlers. Let’s not forget that one insane season he had a couple years ago. So I think it would make sense for the Jets, considering Cole perfetti probably needs one more year before he play centre on second line and nobody will come here as a ufa.

Also, with the flat cap still surrounding the league, a lot of teams are not in the position to be taking on alot of cap. Considering this, ur take that it will be way less than a second for a team to take his contract on is very inaccurate.
