Thread: Rebuilding the D-Core
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ash</b></div><div>Agreed re: Ceci. We would have to add assets to move the contract.

What do you think OTT would want? Brännström's value isn't super high right now given he isn't being played in a still relatively weak Sens line-up.</div></div>

would think the sens would want to recoup a 1st even if it means adding a bit more value. Ideally an actual t6 forward or potential t6 forwards prospect (centre or RW is ideal) would be the return. Mcleod is a good shout though i wouldn't be completely let down if they made this move, i think he has pretty good middle 6 upside and could be a good complement to the centres they already have (theyre pretty much the same age aswell), although id like to see some more success from him in the NHL before Id fully consider it. Oilers maybe add another piece to push it through but the swaps not the worst, and i question if the the sens would really get a true top 6 prospect back like they probably want at this point aswell

Thread: The next Kaprizov joins the Jets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ash</b></div><div>How long until we collapse the D-Core and just play 18 forwards? :P

Connor - Scheifele - Wheeler
Rashevsky - Dubois - Ehlers
Perfetti - Lucius - Chibrikov
Harkins - Lowry - Svechnikov
Copp - Stastny - Vesalainen
Reichel - Gustafsson - Nash

Hellebuyck

Seriously though, if Rashevsky pans out the Jets are officially one of the best teams at drafting forwards.</div></div>

Yeah jets have done pretty well drafting forwards. I think Rashevsky is going to be a stud. Super under the radar, and is having a great year in the KHL. Don’t mind him extending his contract over there 1 more year as timing should work perfectly for when wheeler and and Copp are likely no longer in the top 6. Allowing Perfetti and Rashevsky to jump in.

Thread: Can someone explain the recent obsession with demelo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ash</b></div><div>Our RD is weaker than our left, and so far our LD prospects (Stanley, Heinola, Samberg) haven't played on the right side so far. While DeMelo is an unexciting player, he plays a solid defensive game and has brought out the best in Morrissey since Trouba left.

As far as Copp goes, he's somewhat expendable given how stacked the Jets' forwards group is, especially with Perfetti, Lucius, and Chibrikov in the pipeline. In short, the fanbase currently feels steady defenseman is more important than dynamic forwards.

In any case, #FreeVille</div></div>

Exactly what you said, fans feel a steady RD that can play anywhere is more important than Copp. I personally would rather get rid of DeMelo and have Heinola play a full season like you said.

Thread: Have we finally fixed our defense
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OlegP</b></div><div>Jesus. Stastny is some kind of asset. Otherwise, I never saw Schmidt waiving for Winnipeg. Hell, I enjoy Winnipeg quite a bit. Never got the bad rap. I think, it's mostly, a Canada thing. Hockey guys just enjoy playing in obscurity.</div></div>

Winnipeg is honestly fairly quiet when it comes to media. During media appearances there’s probably 8-9 reporters at most and they’re honestly not that hard on the players. So media isn’t an issue here, also they don’t usually get bothered when they’re out and about in the city. I see perreault all the time who’s a fairly well known jet and he’s hardly bothered, seen many players at the malls and have never seen them bothered. I think people just really don’t like how cold it gets and the taxes. The organization is top notch and anyone who’s been apart of it will say that, even the ones who left like laine.

Stastny continues to prove his worth on and off the ice, and very well could become a front office employee. A scout or another position along those lines. I thought Schmidt was a no go due to the NTC, but stastny apparently is the trade whisperer. Likely because of his two great stints with the organization and the city.
