Thread: Canes Retool 2024-25
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Feelers4Ehlers</b></div><div>I also value Samberg very high. But TNSE is more than likely going to sign Dillon to a new contract and Ville needs to play in the NHL next season. So Samberg might be on the out. I hate saying that because I think we should NOT sign Dillon and have J-Mo, Samberg and Ville as our left side D next season.



You're hilarious. Necas is a great player. He also fills a need for the Jets for a top 6 RW. Also Necas is a RFA and the only way we can sign a player like that is if he has no other options. Kind of like Vilardi was last year. Like I mentioned above TNSE is more than likely going to sign Dillon to a new contract so that will probably mean Heinola or Samberg are on the way out. I would rather have Heinola over Samberg if the Jets re-sign Dillon.</div></div>

Saying he's okay isn't a bad thing, he's just not a star or a difference maker and fills no need for the Jets. It's basically a lateral move for a younger and what will be more expensive player. A retained Ehlers is nowhere near a young projected top 4 defenseman difference in value. That's outright silly.

If Ehlers is moved it needs to be to fill a hole. They can't keep doing the same things over and over and ignoring the holes that they have.

Thread: Flyers - Exciting Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JIG19146</b></div><div>What do the Jets need? Based on reports I've read, it sounds like they need to add good cost-controlled players with term because it is hard to attract free agents to Winnipeg and ownership is only willing to spend like a small market club. The thinking was they could swap prospects and dump high cap contracts for a good young player on a reasonable long term deal (Farabee), a potential middle six center on a manageable number (Frost) and potential bottom six/pair depth.</div></div>

They don't really need any bottom of the lineup players, they have plenty. The biggest needs are a top 4 RHD and a 2C with term or team control.

If the Jets move Schmitt and/or Iafallo it will be to clear cap space so they probably would just want picks or prospects.

Overall, the Jets need to concentrate on finally filling their holes instead of just shuffling pieces around and playing guys in areas they don't excel in.

Thread: Post Draft sickness
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLaveragefan</b></div><div>Thanks for the detail answer - I could figure that because WPG doesn't have a first - that second becomes their "first" in 2024 so it becomes more valuable in their eyes. While Arizona would probably be more open to such a 4 nickels for a dollar type deal ( when I think it's more a 1$ for two 50cents)

I obviously disagree with your evaluation of Farrell and the picks as the increase probability to make the NHL is not t that important between the 2 seconds... and the relative price of such moves is pretty constant and this offer would be higher than most similar trades (some that the habs accepted as well to move back or to draft in latter year.

Aka - trading the habs 2024 2nd round pick (WPG's pick) for the habs 2025 first round pick (MTL) + a 3rd - could probably make more sense for the Jets.</div></div>

That would make more sense, but I'm not sure the Jets would want to wait until next year for that 1st. If they move Montreal's 2024 2nd, then they don't draft until the 4th round this year. I just can't see the Jets wanting to wait until the 4th round unless the offer is too good to be true.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MTLaveragefan</b></div><div>Yes, Windjammer, We know that everything from the Jet is untradeable and more expensive than anywhere else in the NHL despite dozen of comparable trades exists in the past few years.

Please at least provide your rationnal for your answer - when you don't you just look like a hommer.</div></div>

I know you don't appreciate rational thought and reasoning, but you're not providing anything Winnipeg needs that would make them consider moving the 2nd

Farrell - tiny, dime a dozen, long shot to be an AHL regular, no value.

A low 2nd, and a high and low 3rd - little to no value. Unlikely to yield an NHL player with those picks.

Why would Winnipeg throw away a high 2nd that is almost a first and could yield an NHL player for 4 pieces that will almost certainly (without complete luck) turn into anything?

You even know yourself that you're offering very low to no value pieces. Which is why you offered 4 of them. The typical 4 nickels for a dollar type deal you usually propose.

If Winnipeg came to you with this fluff offer. Would you take it? Honestly?
