Thread: Does MTL consider
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Habs fans will 💩💩 all over this suggestion, apparently there's lots of interest around the league in Anderson, Wheeler isn't waiving for Montreal anyway.

Kings fans have repeatedly said they don't want Dillon or Schmidt so these trades need to stop.</div></div>

It’s funny cause until now, kings fans told me they would entertain a Schmidt deal. The idea behind this deal would be that montreal flips him to a team on his list and gets more in return than they would for anderson.

The interest around anderson is puzzling. Bad contract in my opinion. The only reason I’m making a move for him is cause I think a change of scenery would help his production. What some GMs will do for size is puzzling lol.

Thread: Why Bowness
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>People are acting like this is a tragic hiring. The guys a strong structured coach. He’s what the team needs, they couldn’t play defense to save their own life.

No wonder people don’t want to play/coach in Winnipeg when the majority of the fanbase either thinks the team is winning the cup or they’re a dumpster fire. It’s one or the other for most people. They can’t seem to find a bit of patience and see how things unfold.

I’m saving my judgement for after this season coming up. Also did people really think Tocchet was a much better option? It’s not like he’s had a shiny glamorous coaching career either.</div></div>

I didn’t think tochet was much better. I was just as puzzled there. The only way I think this makes sense is if this is a stopgap option either to hire Trotz or promote arniel next season.

It’s not about judgement, but about the fact that this was a guy with a sub .400 record with 1 cup final appearance. That doesn’t indicate success. On paper, this hire is arguably worse than Lowry/Maurice

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>delneggs</b></div><div>Many Rangers don't want Scheifele period. Jet fans call him a locker room cancer and almost everyone admits he doesn't play D at all, so his PPG means nothing. Can't win a cup with a top 6 center like that.</div></div>

“Can’t win a cup”. During every playoffs that scheifele has played, he’s our MVP. The dude is a different beast in the playoffs.

The playoffs also proves one more thing about schiefele. It’s not that scheifele can’t play d, it’s that he doesn’t in the regular season. That’s a coaching issue in my opinion that can be fixed easily. Scheifele knows he will get the best chances no matter what effort he gives under old coaches. Hopefully that changes now.

A couple of benchings will do it

As I mentioned earlier, I don’t want to trade schiefele unless he forces us to. You can’t replace a guy like that, for sure in the short term, but it will be hard in the long term too.

That rangers trade was supposed to be really any team. Forgot to write it.

I’m not in favour of trading schiefele now. The dude will be a monster with the right coach. After that, maybe move him if he’s unwilling to sign and we have young centres who can step in.

Honestly, there’s more rangers fans thinking they’ll get schiefele for basically nothing of value to the jets than jets fans actually trading scheifele.

Thread: Draft day fun
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wpgman</b></div><div>I think for NJ to make the Severson trade at this years draft it would have be the NYR 1st as they would be after someone still available at that spot. Severson and if they are willing to give a 2023 second for Chibrikov, 2022 NYR 1st, and DeMelo works for me. I would give them the choice of DeMelo or Dillon. DeMelo would be a better partner than Dillon for Heinola

Schmidt to wherever for a 3rd is fair for both teams. He rebounded from a bad season in Vancouver with some decent stats and played very well in the World Championships for the US.

If you can get a second for Stanley then WPG should take it.</div></div>

Sorry, didn’t mention it but the nj trade is not draft day, though I like your draft day offer. Agree with everything you said

Thread: Trotz hopefully
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bagelbob</b></div><div>no way barry trotz puts perfetti on the top line</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Db1899</b></div><div>2 defenseman under the age of 24 and a 21 YO on the top line isn’t Trotz style</div></div>

Doubt he plays Wheeler there. Wheeler costs the team in a top line role. Maybe he shuffles the lines around and has Wheeler on the 2nd line, which I’m okay with. I’m not glued to the idea of perfetti on that line.

While trotz does favour vets, he also gives young guys a shot as long as they are doing well and don’t cost the team. Perfetti and Samberg proved they do that this year. Keep in mind that trotz has developed some young guys in the league in Dobson (though he was in the doghouse for a bit), beauvillier, teows, etc. Trotz doesn’t give young guys more of a chance because they are young, but he does give them a chance to help the team win. If they can do that, they stay in.

My worry would be that heinola would be in the doghouse because he can sometimes cost the team. However, in a 3rd pair role he will do more good than bad. However, I see him as a strong possibility of being in the doghouse.

Thread: If all goes right
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ducky10</b></div><div>Do not trade Chibrokov. That’s a lot for Severson.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>YourWinnipegJets</b></div><div>I like almost all the moves except for Severson. They could target him but they should not pay that much. In my eyes Chibrikov is an untouchable, as he will be a very dynamic top six player in a couple years. Lucius perfetti and Chibrikov are the untouchable prospects for me.</div></div>

Severson is a 40 pt d-man who plays in all situations. Not to mention he’s big and plays physical. That’s exactly what JoMo needs. I’ll take that over chibrikov, a (hopefully) late first and 2nd all day. severson is an upgrade on demelo big time.

To get a top pair/top 3 d-man now when we hope to be contending is worth moving guys like that. I like chibrikov, and he looks like he’ll be a top 6 guy, but the jets are set in the top 6 for a while in rashevsky (one of my untouchables), perfetti, connor, Dubois, ehelrs and maybe scheifele. Therefore, I’m more than open to moving guys like Lucius and chibrikov if it adresses our needs.

Considering how much philly gave for risto, this package seems adequate
