Thread: Dump Schmidt

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Steven_Stamkos</b></div><div>For what reason would Winnipeg trade Schmidt</div></div>

They need the roster spot this year to play one of their young d and the cap space for next year to re-sign Scheifele and Hellebuyck or find replacements for those players.

Thread: making the roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aasen6</b></div><div>Van shouldn’t even consider this. Beau with retention is worth a 2nd easily. Demelo isn’t worth 2 2nds. Beau with retention for demelo 1 for 1</div></div>

DeMelo is what Tanev was for Hughes. An underrated complementary dman that can elevate a offensive dmans play. Ex. A: turned Morrissey from a 4/5D into a legit 1st pair dman.

Beau is probably worth a 2nd with retention however DeMelo at the TDL if the Jets aren't in a playoff spot can pull a 1st or at least a 2nd and B prospect. I think you are slightly undervaluing what DeMelo can do.

Thread: We Go Again

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mferraro</b></div><div>I'd rather pay a first on a meaningless armchair GM trade than have Winnipeg fans in here with pitch forks barking at me.

<strong>I just think he would be the type of player who isn't a first pair talent but could be a good fit to play with Morgan</strong>. At a cheap cap hit. There really aren't too many RD options that fit without major changes.</div></div>

You are 100% accurate. He isnt a top pair D but he is a great complement for an 'offensive dman' and can turn them into top pair D. He has turned Josh Morrissey from a 4/5D making over 6M for 8 years to a legit top pair D. DeMelo is one of the most underrated dmen in the league. He elevates his partner's game, and he would do just that with Rielly. Great on the PK and is just so sound defensively at 5v5. Plus he had a breakout year offensively. There is a lot to like about DeMelo and at the deadline, the Jets could easily get a 1st for him.

Thread: PLD Unlikely

That deal probably works for Winnipeg but I do understand needing a goalie is the priority... so we can give you Rittich's rights.

As a rental he would cost a 1st and top prospect... so the price has to at least be that but probably more. However the Jets want a young roster player in return so it could be a 1 for 1 for a comparable player.

He wont sign long term anywhere. He will either want a 1 year or a 3-5 year so he can get paid again when the cap goes up.

He is still a good player... just needs a change. You get a 60 point player at 4.125M for a 4th. Even on a 3rd line and PP he can provide some value, especially for only a 4th.

More of an "anywhere" trade. Just thought of the Avs since Landeskog is out for the season if not longer. Another contender would be interested.

They would easily get more from another team. Even if they waited until the deadline they would get more.

The other centre I like in a PLD trade is Filp Chytil in NY. He just resigned but I think the Rangers would consider if PLD was coming back... plus Jets have a history making trades with NYR (Trouba, Hayes).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Caniac555</b></div><div>Quite possible - I also think this would only work for the Canes if PLD wants a shorter term deal. Seems counterintuitive but Canes sweet spot might be 2-3 years and figure out the cap situation then. Might be a good win-win for player and team.</div></div>

I don't think he is signing long-term anywhere even in MTL. I see him doing what Matthews is doing. Take a 3-5 year deal to maximize the $. I don't see many players taking long-term deals this offseason as the cap is going up soon.

I am very high on Drury. He would be the player I am targeting from CAR in any PLD, Scheifele, or Hellebuyck trade. MTL doesnt have the young roster players to trade. The only roster players that they would trade are dvorak, anderson, hoffman, armia and they all are cap dumps.

Jets accept if it is the best offer. Seems like a better package then MTL would give.

Thread: best team

Calgary 1st is interesting since we have no idea how they will do in 2025. PLD for a cap dump, a 3C/cap dump, a 1st that is 3 drafts away and a 4th doesnt do it.

Thread: If the jets blow it up send it this way

If the Jets were going into a rebuild (which they have stated that they are definitely not) they would consider this.... But taking on Campbell when they are going through a quick retool is not an option. They are looking at young players and prospects that are ready to contribute.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SKWPG</b></div><div>Yes from WPG. Nylander and a 1st? Impossible to say no to this.</div></div>

But you have to give up DeMelo and a 2nd... basically Scheifele for Nylander and Demelo, 2nd, 5th, 7th for late 1st. Jets say no to both.

As a rental, he would return just as much or more. And MTL fans need to understand that PLD doesn't ONLY want to go to MTL, he would consider other big markets.
