Thread: Paying up for severson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>I don't think the Devils consider that.

It is a serious offer, but Severson is too important to Devils right now.
Subban has one year remaining. Vatanen, Kulikov just left. Murray leaving at end of year.
And prospects like Okhotyuk, Mukhamadullin, Bahl, McCarthy, Walsh, Misyul, Edwards, etc are still question marks.

Just for conversation sake, if Devils were to trade Severson, it would more likely be one-for-one for another core piece.</div></div>

We don't really have any core pieces with 2 years of control left. The closest we have is Copp at 1 year of control.

Since you're here, I was wondering about a different sort of trade with the Devils. Your GM made a comment at the trade deadline that they are going to wait to fill their 3rd protected spot for D until the offseason, which made me wonder about potentially moving Stanley to you to be your 3rd protected D. Then you'd have Smith and Stanley as proven NHL level D and would just need one of Bahl or Mukmahdulin(????) to pan out and your left side is locked down long term, with potentially 2 monsters over there. Do you think you'd have any interest in that? I'm assuming you'd want a player that fits the timeline with Hischier and Hughes and ideally was a 1st round talent, or at least that's what I'd want. I was thinking the Islanders 1st round pick would be the main part of the return but it feels light to me considering Stanley was a 22nd OA pick himself and we've spent the time developing him. Don't need to sweat the details, just wondering if it would be of interest at all or not.

Thread: RD fix
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>Where do people get this stuff?
There is no disdain in Devils locker room.
Subban is not a cancer.
He is a useful middle-pair d-man (who gets paid like #1).
Plays 22-23 min per night
And is part of Lindy's leadership group.

Devils aren't trying to trade Subban to Jets.
<strong>This post was in reaction to a ridiculous offer for Severson</strong>.</div></div>

In real life that's a strong offer. Just because you don't know the prospects doesn't make it ridiculous. Sorry if I hurt your feelings by pointing out that the Devils aren't good and won't be good for a few years yet.

I do appreciate you trying to offer other players that may suit our needs but PK isn't it. He can't stake anymore. Also, not interested in Kulikov or Vatenen either.

If you won't trade Severson that's fine, but don't pretend it was some insulting offer.

Here's a recent "top 100 prospects" ranking:

https://thehockeywriters.com/nhl-top-100-prospects-ranking/

If you take out the guys that are already in the NHL Pefetti moves from 11 to the top 5. Severson doesn't sniff that kind of return on his best day. If there's no trade to be made than there's no trade to be made, but you could just say that instead of pretending that non-premium assets are being offered. Multiple premium assets are being included.

Thread: Longer term RD fix
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NHLfan10506</b></div><div>We don't. Nor do we need Perfetti.
But value is way off.</div></div>

I mean, facts are facts. You guys aren't close to being contenders and won't be for a few more years at which point Severson will be a 28 year old UFA. Or you supercharge the rebuild and add more assests to supplement the young core.

We will not be trading Perfetti which is why I specifically put that in the write up. Severson is good, he's not going to get you Perfetti.

Giving 2 - 1sts + 1 - 2nd + a rising prospect is way off?

Usually when I do these I try to overcompensate for what I think is fair so that Jets fans are uncomfortable with the return. Is it that you just don't value the prospects I picked? I've included 3 of the top 10 prospects in the organization and then added another 1st round pick.

https://thehockeywriters.com/winnipeg-jets-top-10-prospects-2020-21/

I could give you Jansen Harkins instead for 1 of those pieces, but he does require protection in the expansion draft so I thought he wouldn't be ideal.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bunzy1034</b></div><div>That probably won't get it done for Ekholm, even if I wish it did lol :tearsofjoy</div></div>

I don't know, that's a pretty good haul for Ekholm. An NHL ready, expansion draft exempt, former 1st round pick. An expansion draft eligible NHL Dman to expose (they have Boroweiki for this already, but then they can still flip one of them for a late pick). Then a 2nd round pick plus Columbus' 3rd round pick which, lets face it, is almost as good as a late 2nd rounder.

This offer is essentially a 1st, 2nd and 3rd for Ekholm. I don't think there's that much better out there with the flat cap and the expansion draft looming. For us we either expose Ekholm, or we keep Ekholm and expose DeMelo as a result of this trade so, there's that too.

Thread: JETS FANS LOOK AWAY The biggest Canadian team trade since Gretsky
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Sabres_Insider</b></div><div>buf says lol</div></div>

Really, why?

As a Jets fan I have a hard time justifying Scheifele for Eichel straight up when you consider their production and contracts.

Scheif is older but he's gone point per game or better for the last 4 years and currently has 28 points in 21 games this year. He's on a $6.1M cap hit for 4 years still. He's on one of the best value contracts in the entire NHL.

Eichel is younger and under team control for longer but at an extra $4M per year caphit. He's also hovered around a point per game over the last 4 years and has 14 points in 17 games this year. So your offensive production is the same but you pay way more for it? Eichel hasn't been able to create a winning culture there.

Then we also toss in our top pair LD who is under contract long term and is projected to be a dman on Team Canada's Olympic team next year.

This Jets fan just doesn't see the appeal in this trade at all. We add a slightly better player under a way worse contract at 1C, then we downgrade on D from JMo to McCabe. Give up a former 1st round pick that is just now NHL ready as well and move up a round in the draft. Trading away 2 of our assistant captains in one trade is just too much.

Thread: Contenders
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>Can you please tell me why the habs would trade Tatar for futures to a division rival?</div></div>

Not sure if serious or not. I'm just going to pretend that you are so the rationale would be that this is a 1 year alignment change only and next season things likely go back to normal where the Habs and the Jets aren't even in the same Conference. You'd only be making this trade if you're out of the playoffs, which personally I think you will be as the Flames will pass you, but you likely won't be that far out that you'll want to sell, so it's pretty unlikely.

In a typical year I'd be for the other trades for Ekholm and Savard but I'm out on any trade coming from a U.S. based team for a rental. 14 day quarantine, then needing to get their conditioning back and learn the systems. There just isn't time this year. The PLD trade made me realize that we shouldn't be adding any short term pieces.

I think we can come out of the North as currently constructed. All the teams are pretty close so it's going to come down to a lucky bounce here or there.

Thread: Gio to Jets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ledge_And_Dairy</b></div><div>We have a plethora of left handed wingers and like 4 more in the pipeline almost NHL ready</div></div>

Not to be that guy, but, who's in the pipeline that would be comparable to Vesalainen? Are you thinking that Zary and Pelletier are going to be wingers?

Much like many of your wingers, Vesa is a left handed shot but can play both wings. Anyhow, just wanted to get some feedback to see if it was possible for the price I would be ok with. Looks like it isn't, which is fine. You keep Gio. We keep Vesa.

We don't really need him, I was just looking at Canadian teams that may be looking to shake things up and with the expansion draft looming, maybe you didn't want to lose Gio to Seattle. (expecting you protect Hanafin, Anderson and Tanev) If it doesn't make sense to the Flames than it doesn't. It only makes sense to the Jets if the price is right.
