Thread: Looks like Chevy wants to try perfetti at c
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>I agree, Dubois trade stacked up the wings rather healthy, but opened up an ominous hole, with or without a scheifele move, namelstikinov possibly back? Believe the jets just getting started hopefully</div></div>

I'd for sure bring Namestnikov back if they want to compete for the playoffs, can move around the lineup and play center, why not, every time he was traded for a 4th I said 'why didn't Chevy make that trade?'... lol

I just don't see them bottoming out and with Wheeler gone I think Scheifele will be a different player so would consider keeping him.

The Dubois trade did make the overall forward group better so hopefully Chevy keeps that going and keeps adding legit NHL forwards.

With the cap crunch around the league could this be the year Chevy adds an at least moderately decent UFA like Matty Perreault was?

Thread: Retooling
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arafay</b></div><div>Yes, but the jets don’t need cap space next year. They can easily retain on wheeler and move on. No point in tying up cap next year when you might need it, vs now when you definitely don’t. All while saving real dollars, which does matter to a small market team like the jets.</div></div>

I agree, the actual dollars definitely matter to the Jets. Not sure of your point, though . . . you start by saying the Jets don't need cap space next year, then you go on to say they may need it next season as a reason to trade him and retain half his salary. (?) And you say they can easily retain on him and move on; I think it's likely that the same can be said about buying him out---if the owner can stomach the extra million or so, of course! It's quite doubtful they'll be flirting with the cap ceiling next season, especially if/when the cap rises as predicted.

Anyway, I'm sure we'll have our answer soon enough! But hey, if they can get some team to deal a 2nd rounder for him, absolutely they should retain half his salary and bd done with it!!

(Again, it just won't be Seattle! Lol)^^
