Thread: Trade deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Garak</b></div><div>Idk. I really don't care about where players were drafted at this point and 2 years doesn't really make a big difference to me when they are under 25. Rashevsky is more fun to watch, has a much higher motor and work ethic, and is already producing decently in the second best league in the world, and he has a responsible defensive game. Plus, CHI's depth at RW is lacking, and lefties that play their off side are always nice.</div></div>

I think for the jets, it doesn't really matter right now. Both are likely trade chips as they are a few years away from cracking the jets lineup. Even if they come over soon, lucius, lambert, mcgroarty, nikkanen, torgersson are all ahead. Knowing the jets and how they develop, it will be a long time before he sees ice unless he absolutely dominates when he gets here.

That being said, my personal recommendation for a rebuilding team would be chibrikov. High end skill and solid two-way game isn't a common package. He's small, but give him some time. He's heavily overlooked cause he's not in the KHL and russia hasn't been playing on the world stage

Thread: Trade deadline
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Ouch, hopefully Chevy doesn't consider this. I agree with you on a lot of stuff, but not this. Toews isn't worth what you have offered here at that salary, so upping the pick to a first should definitely be out.

I really wish Chicago would trade Toews elsewhere so people could get over this "send him home" stuff.</div></div>

I think the need for a guy like teows is really underrated for the jets. What happens if scheifele or Dubois (or both) go down with an injury in the playoffs. What if one of our top 6 gets hurt. Who steps up. Right now, the jets bottom 6 lacks the talent to fulfill the needs even at replacement level. With teows bringing leadership and all that above, I think he’s worth it.

Thread: Perfect time to bring up ville
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>Do you mess with something that is working right now?

Jets are on a roll, and actually getting 3rd line production for the 1st time in 3 years.

I am almost afraid of Ehlers coming back as it may upset the balance.</div></div>

Well, I don’t think bringing up ville is messing with it. Three different players have played in that 6th d role 11 games into the season, there’s nothing working about that. Adding in ville doesn’t mess it up, it potentially provides a solution.

As for ehelrs coming back, I welcome it. Our power play hasn’t looked the same without him. The 3rd line will still produce and will only get better. Gustafsson is getting better each game and Lowry is bringing a consistent showing. A healthy bottom 6 would only be more productive.

I’m still concerned about not having a true middle-sis guy though. Appleton is not a middle-six guy. Chevy needs to find someone in my opinion
