Thread: Off season plan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Larsson is a UFA, if he doesn't want to be a Jet past the one season he was a rental so no thanks.
Samorukov does look good but the Jets have Morrissey long term and LHD prospects knocking on the door in Heinola and Samberg along with a few more in another year or two plus this ufa class is full of dmen, I like Samorukov but not sure he really adds anything the Jets don't already have.
That's a HUGE stretch to think what Pulujarvi did in Finland is automatically going to equate to being a half point player in the Nhl now.. Lol
Neal is still serviceable but he's a cap dump and a buyout of almost $2M for SIX seasons when the cap will be flat for at least two of them is a tough pill to swallow, no thanks on that.
The 1st is nice but it's likely a mid to early 20s pick and you want a 2020 2nd from the Jets so it negates the value for Winnipeg, sorry but when I add all this up in just don't think it's good for the Jets, they're trading the most sure thing in the deal for short term help, a cap dump and question marks, I'd hope Chevy would pass on this.
The Jets offense came almost entirely from their top 5 forwards this season and Ehlers was a huge part of that, can't trade him for this sorry.</div></div>

I completely disagree on JP, but you bring some good points here. Maybe the jets take out the 2nd for a much lower pick, but I think this package is pretty even at worst for Winnipeg. Between the 1st, Samorukov, and JP, that’s potential for 3 key pieces to a future jets team, and at least one of those pieces is guaranteed to be part of a great future jets team. Neal is obviously just a cap dump, but look at Winnipeg’s cap situation, they don’t have anyone to pay until the cap goes up. they’ll be fine, and even if Larsson is a one year rental, it would still be worth it for the jets.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Thats not good for the Jets, they'd decline that.
Islanders are pretty set on D, they're not trading Beauvillier for Nurse.
Can't see those other teams needing those depth players.</div></div>
You’re completely forgetting the top 4 d man in his prime, adam Larsson, who the jets undoubtedly need. He’s also a lot cheaper than most free agency options. Samorukov likely becomes a top 6 d man soon too, with a ceiling higher than what Larsson is right now. Puljujarvi isn’t garbage either, don’t act like he didn’t put up above a point per game overseas. That equates to roughly 40 points in 82 games, from a 22 year old. Arguably worth an early 2nd round pick or late 1st. Neal is a big part of the trade, and might be why the jets decline. Has to happen for salary reasons though, maybe the jets pull out their pick and swap it for a lower one to make it work? They’ll likely be buying out neal anyways for only 2 million/ year.

Thread: Draft day FLA TOR WSH
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLSage</b></div><div>The more I closely watch Dermott, Sandin, Liljegren, Holl, Marincin and Rosen play the more I realize the these 6 former Marlies are all very dependable NHL defenceman on very reasonable contracts and with Rielly and Muzzen give the Leafs a one of the deepest defencive cores in the NHL. These 6 fomer Marlies are now getting the job done for the Leafs who are missing Rielly, Muzzen and Ceci.

Dermott has really stepped up to be a very solid shut down defenceman in the NHL and can play the right side and the reason the Leafs have no use for Larsson. Do not know what the Oilers were thinking to trade Hall for Larsson and now Oilers want to trade Larsson.</div></div>

All those guys are great, (besides marincin) but they very obviously struggle defensively... and Larsson’s strong suit is in his own end. When paired with another d man who can actually enter the o-zone, he looks perfect

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BurgerBoss</b></div><div>If Leafs were moving Kappy for a RHD from Oilers, it's going to be for Bear instead of Larsson.

No point moving young forward still improving for a D that, to be fair, hasn't even been that good of late and have suffered from injuries, while also being pending UFA in a year...</div></div>

Larsson has been the oilers best defensive defenseman in 2020. Had a bad 2019 I’ll give you that, but injuries will do that to you

Honestly I don’t see why the leafs wouldn’t move Kapanen. The leafs have guys in the AHL that could put up alright numbers in his position, that’s been their strength the past little while.


Also by many accounts bear is already a top pairing D man, as a biased oilers fan it would take a ton to get holland to even pick up his phone on that topic
