So essentially KK 1st and other pick for Dvorak.
Seems like a loss
Not quite. Habs got a first and a third for Kotkaniemi from Carolina.
So JK and a 2nd for Dvorak and a 3rd. Not so bad now, Could be a loss down the line if KK lives up to the expectations Carolina seems to have for him.

So last night, Patrick Marleau ties Mr Hockey's record for games played (1767). I'll just leave this little interesting tidbit to wrap your head around ....

We had no chance once it went to OT. Jets are a big, heavy 5 on 5 team, but not enough pure skill for the fast pace of OT. **** I hate losing to the Leafs.
I just don't agree with that statement. Jets are 5-1-1 in OT this year, and are one of the most dynamic 3-on-3 teams in the format.

I just hope they don't go after Pascal Vincent. I'd like him to get a shot here once Maurice eventually wears out his welcome (not that I'm advocating for it now, just that it is inevitable in their profession). #hiredtobefired

I know of two people locally who had issues with their engines. A coworker’s Kia caught fire while he was driving home. Pulled over and within 30 minutes the car was a burnt shell.

What the hell??Don't mind that if the Dubois line is in fact"2nd"; except I might swap Appleton and Lewis.

Not sure if this has been shared on here before or not but it was circulating at work. The concept of the Swiss Cheese model. Masks are one layer of defense. They alone will not protect someone, but the more layers of defense that are followed, the more someone is protected.

I remember being at the Bombers game and watching the Jets draft Laine, the elation i felt that day is now matched by the sorrow to see him go. We lost this deal just like when we traded Selanne. But we have to move on.....Go Jets!
Emotionally this may feel like the Selanne trade, but the return here is a legit 1B centre, not some prospects and pixie dust in Kilger and Tverdovsky. Selanne ended up in the HOF. We will see where Mr. Laine ends up. As was said earlier, not likely Columbus.

Winnipeg is slowly becoming the farm team for other teams. Truba, Laine and Roslovic. Who’s next?
That's three guys who wanted out and Rolso is not a top player at that. Wheeler, Scheifele Connor, Morrissey, Wheeler, Hellebuyck, Byfuglien, Little have all signed long term deals.
JCon beat me to it. But every team will have some guys who are not happy with their situation. Grass isn't always greener.

3rd for Roslo / Laine for Dubois if you break it down.
Was hoping a 2nd for Roslo, but meh. Wasn't progressing with us.
C always carry more value than W in real life (vs fantasy) but I do think we should have got a higher pick or a prospect than we ended up with.
Neither team was in a great bargaining position.
-
Laine is best player in deal, but I think this makes us a stonger team. Plus I think Perfetti is better suited for the wing than center.

Really hope Chevy did his due diligence and PLD actually wants to be here. His contract is done after next year? Would be brutal have nothing to show for this trade.
Dubois' Dad is a coach on the Moose. Chevy would have inside track

Curious why the Canes plucked him off waivers then promptly put him back on.
I heard that they waived Nedeljkovic and were worried they would lose him, so picked up Forsberg as contingency depth.

Has to stay on the main roster or be waived to get on the taxi squad. If he clears waivers, then he become waiver exempt for 30 days.
https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2021/01/winnipeg-jets-claim-anton-forsberg.html
QuoteAnton Forsberg is on his third team in a week, claimed off waivers by the Winnipeg Jets. Forsberg never did leave Edmonton when the Carolina Hurricanes claimed him from the Oilers, meaning he will be able to travel to Winnipeg and not have to face a border quarantine. He will, however, need to stay on the Jets active roster for the time being and cannot be assigned to the taxi squad or minor leagues until he clears waivers.
Of course, carrying a third goaltender on the active roster really isn’t an issue for the Jets at the moment, given they’re already into long-term injured reserve space. The team will have to move one of the players from their roster onto the taxi squad, but that shouldn’t be an issue given Kristian Vesalainen and Logan Stanley, two waiver-exempt players, were both scratched last night.
Forsberg meanwhile becomes the Jets third-string option after Winnipeg lost Eric Comrie to the New Jersey Devils. The veteran netminder still doesn’t figure to play a ton this season but adds some depth to a position the Jets can ill afford to be weak at. Connor Hellebuyck carries the load, but if he were to ever go down to injury or illness, Laurent Brossoit is the only other Jets netminder signed to an NHL deal in North America.

Ok thanks. But his salary won’t count against the NHL cap, correct?
Jets would only get $1.075 Million of cap relief if he clears.

Beginning to think this is all part of a plan to prevent Ovi from breaking Wayners goal record.

I would be hesitant on Lapierre at #10. (I'm not comfortable with his 3 concussions already).

I should add, with the cap staying flat, Chevy needs to weaponize our cap space.
This will be Chevy’s biggest offseason test as a GM. Not just drafting and developing anymore, he needs to mould this team into a contender utilizing the assets they have.

So we're in the Lafreniere sweepstakes early.....the only thing is this club needs more than a top pic to right the ship....Total rebuild and a few years in the hinterland looks like this teams future....Sad..when you think it wasn't too long ago we were a top dog...Big changes on the way and maybe we start with Chevy
The Jets are not in a complete rebuild. The have one of the top 3 goalies in the league, elite Top 6 talent on the wings and a point per Game Center all under the age of 27 (except for the Captain). They have Buff’s ( and possibly Little’s) cap space and they now have a shot at the #1 pick. They also have some quality prospects on the back end coming in Samberg and Heinola plus Niku might make a nice adder in a trade.
They legitimately need a 2C and a top 4 defender (with some size) and can use the cap space and perhaps the depth on W to address. If they happen to win the lottery, landing Lafreniere (you either trade the pick or move another LW to bolster the roster) enhances that.
While they are not a legit cup contender today, there are still too many quality pieces for a complete rebuild. Moving one of the wingers might shakeup the chemistry too.

Jets 5th round pick, over-ager Dmitri Rashevsky is off to a hot start to his KHL season. 7 points in his first 4 games. Here's a bit of his handiwork.
