Thread: Morgan Barron
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>At this time it is a non-starter imo.

Barron was tracking for a solid 30 point rookie campaign with sheltered ice time and one inferior linemate. I am projecting the Jets 3rd this season to be Iafallo-Lowry-Appleton/Barron - where the LW here is seriously upgraded. Able to use his size effectively, I dare say he may see PP time as a front of net presence (depending on his play of course). I could see Barron quietly having a 40 point campaign if he stays healthy; and the think the Jets keep that around even if they are sniffing at the playoffs.

I like Kubalik's game, but he is also is what he his, where Barron hasn't hit a ceiling yet; and unlike Kubalik has contract control.

Given where the Jets are at, contract control matters.

I simply don't see the fit at all.</div></div>

That's totally fair. No interest in Appleton. Maybe Kupari + pick for Kubalik?

Thread: Morgan Barron
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_Canoehead</b></div><div>Winnipeg isn't in a position to be making a push this year, especially if they trade 37 and 55. They'll likely just keep Barron.</div></div>

The offseason is nearing a close and they havent been traded. Now theres barely any teams that have the capspace and would be a good fit. I imagine Winnipeg is going to go for it and see what they have. If they do make trades at the deadline to go into a rebuild, it's valuable to have a middle six winger on an expiring contract like Kubalik. If he puts up 40-50 points this season, he's easily a 2nd round pick + at the deadline esp if retained. Right now this trade helps them improve their team but also gives them more assets to trade to start the rebuild.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>Honestly, I think the Jets are going to be better than many think. What they have this year what they haven't had in 5 is a 3rd line that can produce.

Mind you, I think Barron is part of that plan, so yeah.... they pass.</div></div>

Do you think Ottawa would have to add or they would have no interest in Kubalik? Seems like a good trade for Winnipeg imo they get the better player and the better deadline trade asset.
