Thread: A few more moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pretzelcoatl</b></div><div>There are five prospects I would not move: Hughes, Nemec, Holtz, Casey, and Schmid. I would move any other prospect along with Vanecek and a 1st. Gritsyuk is the best prospect I would move, but since he's 21 (2019 draft) and will be in the KHL for 2 more years I'm not sure he's of interest even though he's a great prospect. That leaves Hameenaho, Foote, Vilen, and Clarke as the rest of my personal top 10. Of them, Hameenaho has the highest upside and Foote is the most NHL ready.</div></div>

The lowest I would sell helly (cause market value) is replace Casey with Gritsyuk or Hameenaho. That being said, having the entire top 5 of your prospect pool as untouchable when you are trading for a top 3 goaltender isn’t exactly realistic. I can understand it for the top 4, but Casey is someone Fitzgerald will probably be open to moving. Just my opinion.

Thread: Realistic Opening Night
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Barring injuries (and Bones stupidity) the Jets second PP unit should be much better this season then in recent seasons, an issue that hasn't been discussed much the last few seasons was how useless the 2nd PP has been.

Obviously losing Little really affected PP#2 but Maurice, papa Lowry and Bones player usage hasn't helped it any since either. Hopefully with some health and better options both PP groups will be better and underperformers won't be seeing time on the man advantage.</div></div>

I was thinking the same when I was making it. I kept thinking it’s the best it has been in years. Hopefully chevy can move schmidt cause heinola would look very good on that pp with perfetti giving the jets 2 dynamic power plays

Thread: My ask revised
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wqrrior</b></div><div>As a neutral fan in this argument, I have seen Devils fans offering literal garbage, so I know why Jets fans would be irritated, but I still see no realistic world where Holtz and a First are both included in the same deal for a goalie. It's either Holtz with a 2nd or a 1st with a prospect down a tier like Stillman. A negotiation requires both sides to budge, and if the Jets won't budge i don't think the market to sell him will be there. Not enough teams are forming a big line to get a goalie.</div></div>

I completely agree. I think the actual deal comes down to something a bit less than I said, as it always is in a deal.

As I said, I would probably take vanacek, holtz, a 2nd, and a mid round pick/prospect.

Thread: Long term roster
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>So want the two goalies to be all ready to be in house just leaving junior, I believe quite possibly there could be a need to completely replace 1a/1b at Center, definitely need the man, the myth, the legend buffy reincarnation</div></div>

agreed. I do think that at least one of lambert, lucius, perfetti, or vilardi can be top 6 centers in the NHL. My money is on 2 getting there. However, we may not have a true 1C for a while without schiefele if Lambert doesn't pan out (he's the only one I think has that potential). That's why I would entertain the idea of getting another big top 6 center and moving 3 of those guys to the wings to better balance the lineup.

We do need a buff reincarnation. But realistically, a right-handed samberg would do tbh. Someone who is solid in his own end and can also skate.

I'm a big believer in dom being a 1A and milic being a 1B. However, that's not happening for another 3-4 years in my opinion so we need a stop gap
