Thread: TDL Jets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>I see where you are going with this deal. Jets could use a 2C locked up for multiple years and the bolts need to get younger and add some picks.
I like it for the jets, but I think he costs more than that. You'd probably have to replace Stanley with Heinola</div></div>

See, this is the type of constructive comment that I'm looking for, lol. I think that with the retention, the Jets would seriously consider doing Lucius, Heinola, a 1st and the other two. Stanley doesnt actually have value to us, we just need him off our books to make the money work this year. From the Jets' perspective, Cirelli becomes a 2C this year, and probably next year, then in year 3 is our 3C behind Scheifele and Lambert, with Lowry as 4C and it all sort of works at cirelli for 5.25m but becomes hard to fit at a higher number. If Tampa would consider retaining if the Jets make the offer worth it, I think there's a chance for this to work for both sides. Tampa would clear 5.25m in cap space and return three cost-controlled assets (heinola, lucius and the 1st), then a couple of reclamation projects who might be cheap depth as early as next year.

Thread: Rutger doesnt sign
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jay27</b></div><div>Seriously… why is it so hard to grasp that Monahan isn’t what WPG needs or wants and he’s not worth more than a 2nd at most

There are multiple articles naming Winnipeg as one of the teams interested in Monahan. Also multiple articles stating the asking price is a 1st or a prospect and a 2nd. It’s really not that much of a stretch to think he may end up in Winnipeg. Not that the Jets would have any interest in dealing Rutger, that I agree is pure fantasy.</div></div>

Lol…maybe articles on no credibility sites like fourth period, but on actual sites/networks every report I’ve seen states the Jets are looking for better than Monahan, Lindholm is usually named as the target, and that Monahans value is a 2nd OR a B-prospect at best

Thread: TDL ideas
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>I disagree about Monahan and Grandlund not being an upgrade. Either one could supplant Nameskiov as the 2C (at times), but either could be really good 4th liners with PP time.
The more I think about it, the more i want Chevvy to go big game hunting on a 2C. Not sure who, Lindholm perhaps, but preferably someone with term if they have to give up such so much</div></div>

Yeah, Lindholm is an obvious choice, but with the competition for him, I think he'll get priced out of Chevy's market.

Monahan is just a bad fit. I don't know what you're seeing, but Monahan isn't an upgrade over anyone in Winnipeg's top 9. Vlad is better 5 on 5 and better at everything else, save FO's and not a liability defensively. Due to being a defensive liability, Monahan isn't a good 4th liner. He's just not worth wasting assets on as he doesn't move the needle even slightly.

Granlund, while better than Monahan, isn't an upgrade over anything in Winnipeg's top 9 and once again Vlad is a better and cheaper. You also have to take into account Granlund has another year on his awful contract, so the Jets would have that anchor hanging around next year. Which would negate any benefits of moving or buying out Schmidt. I don't think the Jets want to add a bad contract.

For me, neither of these two make any difference, so why bother to throw away good assets and risk messing with the chemistry of a team that is playing well to add players, just to add players.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>I dont get this Monahan hype. Seems like MTL fans wanna paint this guy as a legit top 6 C that plays both ends. Ill be honest i havent watched a lot habs games this year, but the ones Ive seen he isnt a difference maker and he doesnt drive a line. Im not opposed to the jets adding him, but not for 2 second rounders, The way the team is playing I dont think he would crack the top 9</div></div>

He's been driving with flat tires most of the season.
The majority of his points were 5v5 last year. It's 50/50 this year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jay27</b></div><div>I don’t think he’s a 2c. I believe he can fill that spot short term if need be but he’s more a complimentary winger piece on the 2nd line or a reliable 3c who wins a lot faceoffs and can play special teams. If you look at past TDLs a couple of seconds is a pretty reasonable asks for that type of player and Winnipeg is one of the reported teams to be interested so I put 2 and 2 together.</div></div>

People don't put much value in having insurance for the playoffs, but it's a factor. Even if you see him as a 3/4 liner, you have a guy ready to step up if say, Scheifele gets suspended or Tavares gets injured.
