Thread: Follow the Strome Trends
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>Roslovic is a bottom 6 guy and not that enticing. Hawks are loaded with defensive prospects, unless they are a top line candidate, which Stanley is not. Normally I'd say he's interesting given his size but the Hawks just drafted Vlasic who's similar type of player and size. The 1st round pick, especially top 10 protected, simply doesn't make up for a big downgrade in Roslovic and certainly a 3rd isn't going with Strome for this.</div></div>

This first comment has me a little confused. Yes I agree with Stanley not being a potential top pairing guy. But jack roslovic isn’t a bottom 6 player. As a jets fan, I have been a little disappointed with his overall growth. But this year he’s taken strides to where he could be a 2c next year. He looked fantastic playing C with Appleton and Harkins on his wing, and he imo should have gotten a chance at 2c with Wheeler and Ehlers on his wing. I think he has a breakout year next year. Plus if he’s not a 2c yet, he’s a good 3c and could make that jump next year. Stanley is likely a bottom pairing guy, but if he has some spectacular growth could play top 4. The 1st is an interesting piece that in my opinion leaves the jets overpaying which I’m okay with. I’d honestly be fine with giving up a top 10 protected first in 2020 to get strome.

Thread: small moves - PHI MTL - CBO
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>krzyk0</b></div><div>Allison's value is really hard to determine right now. Before he tore his acl in his sophomore season, he was making a legitimate case for the hobby baker and seemed like a surefire middle sixer in the NHL. Unfortunately, he hasn't ever fully returned to his pre-acl form these past two years. At dev camp last summer, he said was about 85% recovered and that was already a year post surgery. He was finally starting heat up again scoring 19 points in his last 15 games before the season was cancelled. In terms of his future with Flyers, it also hard to determine given the situations with Nolan Patrick and Oskar Lindblom. If Lindblom isn't able to play hockey again (praying that isn't the case), that opens up an extra wing spot on the team for him to take. If Lindy and Patrick both come back, the depth chart gets a bit tight and he may become expendable in year or two. Given the Flyers just signed him, I'd imagine they'll want to hold for now, and see what he's got in the AHL next year. I think there is definitely some excitement from us Flyer fans to see what he's got although it's a bit tampered. He seems like he has a great personality too, and he's ginger which immediately makes him a fan-favorite here in Philly.</div></div>

He’ll fit in perfectly with gritty, giroux, couts, voracek and many others.

I think if he can return to form (imo he can) he could easily be a middle six guy. He’s got real good talent, he’s a workhorse and has good vision. Man I wish he didn’t have that ACL injury, super unfortunate, looked like he was well on his way to the NHL. I went and watched all the games he played at UND in his 1st two years in the NCAA. He’s a great guy too.

Thread: Trouba
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Ask any other Jets fan on here, they'll tell you that Trouba played on the top pair with Morrissey and they were the pair tasked with shutting down the other teams top line.</div></div>

Yeah I saw this comment and laughed tbh. Him and Morrissey played on the top pairing for what 2 years at least. He was playing in a shut down role for a while. Morrissey’s play during the 17-18 and 18-19 season had him playing like a borderline elite dman. He is known to boost the play of his partner drastically. Trouba is a good 2nd pairing dman worth probably 5.5m a year. I don’t see him putting up more than 40pts again unless he plays with an elite partner.

as for <a href="/users/AJC13" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@AJC13</a>

You need to realize that he did play in a shutdown role in Winnipeg for 2+ years. Him and Morrissey played against the other teams top lines. He wasn’t that great in that role here either. I always had problems with his defensive game, he turned over lots of pucks, made small mistakes. He’s not a 1st pairing guy unless he’s paired with an elite LHD.

Thread: 81-5m cap 2020-21
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>I see, I've just seen about 10 or so Niku to Pittsburgh for DeSmith trades in some form on here I was wondering what the fascination was with that idea.. Lol
Yeah I've lost interest in Niku too just see him as hopefully a better trade chip then for a backup goalie or just as a good depth piece to have around though if they don't use him or move him he's either gone to the KHL or claimed on waivers so should probably move him if they can.

I honestly think Tampa will figure something out to keep Cirelli, he would be a great addition though and that seems like a good offer or a solid start at least.
I see Domi as a more realistic possibility which is why I think he should be the target. If Domi isn't being moved by Montreal maybe signing Haula is an option?
There isn't much for options in free agency, Haula is about the only free agent center I'd have any interest in signing, might be a cheaper short term option till either Roslovic can solidify himself in the role or something else can be figured out. Even if Little comes back I think there needs to be another option as a 2C fill in, really need some depth for when injuries inevitably happen, Copp just isn't productive enough.

No I don't think T.Johnson is an option, don't think he even plays much center anymore, he's barely on pace for half a point a game this season and hasn't done all that much better then that in his last few seasons. He's turning 30 this year and has 4 more seasons at $5M, no thanks, not interested in that plus he has a NMC, no matter how you look at it T.Johnson just isn't a match for Winnipeg nor should they pursue him, his best days are behind him, lots of Tampa fans complain about him too, I wouldn't want him on the Jets.</div></div>

Thank you for the feedback!

I definitely agree that they need to move Niku if they don’t plan on using him.

I think Domi is more realistic than Cirelli, I just wanted to see what a package for him would look like. It would take more than this most likely but at that point I’d rather just offer this package for Domi signed long term.

As for TJ I was pretty sure that he wasn’t a fit and wasnt all that great anymore. I just didn’t know 100%.

Thread: 81-5m cap 2020-21
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Idk, his numbers are decent enough at both the NHL and AHL since he was signed and he's got a couple more seasons of term on a cheap deal but it'd be like a few hundred thousand of savings compared to Brossoit so I don't see the point in trading Niku for him.</div></div>

Idk I’ve just lost interest in Niku, the trade was just randomly thrown together with no thought in my case. I’d never do that trade. But my blueline was already set without Niku so just moved him for a decent cost controlled backup. Would make more sense to just reup LB and use Niku in a trade for a 2C! I agree with everything you two said. Any feedback on the 2C trade or signings? I think cap next year stays at 81.5m and TB is gonna be in a tough spot. Is Johnson still capable of playing in a 2C role? He’d be cheap to acquire.

Thread: If they cancel season and reset lottery to everyone having equal chance
This whole coronavirus situation is so dumb. The thing is less deadly than the common flu.

I get it spreads fast and could be an issue. But suspending play is ridiculous. Maybe play in empty arenas, but why suspend play lol. Makes no sense.

American media is a joke, they blow everything so out of proportion. Unless you’re living in poor living conditions and/or have a poor immune system. You won’t die. Like this **** is so dumb. Media blows it up and people erupt into a panic. Just use common sense, wash your hands and practice good hygiene you’ll be fine. You can’t let a stupid disease dictate your life.

I remember when SARS was a HUUUGE concern but it was like the most blown up thing ever. Same thing is happening here.
