Do we go 8-1 or 7-3-1?

I would think that Scheif, Wheeler and Little are locks to be protected and we have to protect Enstrom and Buff because of their NMCs.

Opinions will change as the year goes on and some players play better/worse and some might be traded but right now they would go 8-1.

Wheeler

Scheif

Little

Trouba

Enstrom

Buff

Myers

Helle for a goalie but who is the 8th player we shold protect?

MP? Lowry? Armia? Dano? Copp?

I say send them a draft pick so they take Copp. A 3rd rounder or so.

Price of doing business. 

That is the bigger picture Jets kept their roster pretty well intact and Chevy might be able to pull off a trade or 2.

So Fleury/Pickard with Vegas and Berube to minors then.

I don't think Toby waives without the Jets telling him that they would make a deal for him not to be picked.

This deal is really to keep Lowry / Perreault / Armia.  

I suspect they would have been fine with losing Dano, but with moving down 11 spots, they got Vegas to take no players from them.

Chevy might have underestimated Vegas' interest in Enstrom.

god we had better get a good goalie on july 1st

I wonder if Thorburn retired.  Vegas had to take someone from every team. They took an aged UFA. So basically they picked no one from Wpg.

Well they wouldnt be able to announce a trade until tomorrow anyways. There is a trade freeze.

I thought it was the bump down to 24th in the draft

Chris Motherf***in Scoreburn is such a beauty. You just know the room LOVES him. Great team guy that every team wishes they had, on the right contract.

Yes obviously. But there could be more deals to announce. Freeze ends at 7am

man it better be worth being bumped down that low because as a result I don't feel like watching the draft now

Day before the draft I'm thinking there will be plenty of trades.

Wasnt really worth watching this year anyway.

remember last year when everyone was looking forward to the draft? that got overshadowed by Vegas

It was. Jets lost no players. A swap of first round picks. Other teams gave up their first altogether.  We still have one. 

Good players available at 24. 

did you forget about Thorbs?

He was UFA. Any one could have signed him.

I think it's rather forward-thinking on the part of Chevaldayoff. Must have taken a few hours of creative doodling to come up with a multitude of scenarios....and come out with the players you want to keep.

Lot of people on social media don't get this. 

Thorbs is a UFA. He's not under contract. He's not a jet (well until Saturday). 

Chevy dropped 11 spots. That was basically the Price charged the jets for expansion.  Brilliant really.

They were already protected we moved down to protect Enstrom who waived his Nmc? or the fantastic non scorer Dano....wow Chevy your genius knows no bounds if this is true...??

Really.  I know many of you are having trouble with this. 

Toby waived in exchange for a promise he would be protected.  That meant the Jets had to deal with Vegas. 

They lost zero players.  Zero. 

They dropped 11 spots. Retained a first round pick and only included a 3rd in two years (they can replace it if they want to) and lost zero players. 

Had chevy not made that deal then Toby doesn't waive and the jets have to go 4-4. 

Further, they retained Dano as well. They lost ZERO players.

Seriously you are the one not seeing it what's the point of the NMC if your gonna drop down 11 spots in the draft to protect Enstrom anyway ? Makes more sense if it was Lowry or Perreault....and Dano ? What has he shown that we needed to lose out on a potential LD defenseman we desperately need? And if we lost Enstrom 5 million buys us a pretty DAMN good replacement d-man. No this deal is a massive over payment for 2 marginal player....unless there is something else coming our way.

It's okay. Kinda hoping we could trade Hutch for Pickard but it is what it is. Dano/Toby need great seasons. Is it Oct 4th yet?

So you're saying picking 13 rather than 24 is more valuable than Lowry or Perrault or Myers?

its not. They lost ZERO players.  And still have a first round pick.

With the NMC we would have had to trade with VGK to protect Myers which would have been an even steeper cost.

Any defenceman drafted 13th overall isn't going to be in the league for 2 years at least.  Like Morrissey.  Who's to say we still desperately need an LHD 2 years down the road?  Needing an LHD right now is irrelevant to the trade.

Who's signing here?  Who's making 5 mil+ and doesn't have WPG on their no trade list?  Really not that simple at all.
