What should Chevy do or should he stand pat and not do a thing?

Is he going to add to try to make the playoffs or is he going to send some expiring/nonexpiring contracts elsewhere?

Trade Staf if we are still close to the playoffs and get what you can for him?

Get some help on the 3rd D pairing?

Trade Thorbs for whatever you can get for him?

Get some help for present/future for Helle in the net?

Does he try to talk Enstrom and/or Buff out of their NMC to send them to a contending team?

Should he move some forwards to do any of the above and which ones?

Does he find a buyer for Pavs? Postma/Chiarot/Stu?

If he makes a deal, does he use picks, picks/player(s) or just Player(s)? Does he include a Moose player in a deal?

 

I think if we are as close as we are right now, he doesn't deal anyone and might try to add a D man and a goalie for the playoff drive...

If we are out of it, Staf will go for whatever he can get but I think he will keep Thorbs unless he expresses a desire to go elsewhere. If someone offers him something fair for Postma/Chiarot/Stu, I think he would trade them. Not sure many teams would be willing to give up much for any of them though.

Darling would be interesting.  But not until after the expansion draft.

I'd love to see Chevy pull of a trade with Anaheim for Josh Manson

 

Brandon Montour or Shea Theodore would probably be more realistic

For sure.  I think he is a possibility for Vegas, if I'm not mistaken, so it may be an option for him to be on the move.  Dave Manson was one of my favourite Jets as a kid.

But I don't want them.

The point is to do it before the draft.

Darling is a UFA, so you would either have to be giving up a low draft pick for neg rights or have had talks with him and be relatively sure you can sign him.

Now even if you do all that, then you aren't protecting both Darling and Hellebuyck, so you will risk losing one of them.

Best case would be to sign him without giving up anything in free agency.

Ah good point, I didn't know that Darling was a UFA.  Clearly then it's a post draft move.  Regardless, I'd love to have him here.

But what if he gets a shutout in the pre-season

what about stempniak?

What's the difference?  

Dreger was listing off a list of UFA Goalies the other day...  quite a big list of guys that we can sign.   At least 7 guys who would be big time upgrades.

NSH is 6 pts ahead with two games in hand

LA is 6 pts ahead with a game in hand

Calgary is 5 pts ahead

Vancouver is tied with us with two games in hand

The Jets are not making the playoffs.  They had their chance at a 'streak' in Colorado and blew it.

I don't think they will either and have been saying it since Nvoember but mathematically, they are still very much in it.

 

edit ... I don't think the Canucks or the Flames will make the playoffs and I think the Preds do and not in a wild card spot either....I think the Preds finish 3rd.

Larsson is the D I'd like to get from the Ducks.

It looks like, and has for most of the year, that 90 points will get you into the playoffs this year. They need 36 points to hit 90.

18-8? Even though they have one of the best schedules for the last 6 or so weeks of the season, I doubt it. The other teams are going to be playing catch up once the Jets get their 5-6 days off this month.

I remember how every game for the last 4-5 weeks of the season seemed like a playoff game in 2015 when they made it to the post season and how the team played. I don't see this team having that in them. More talented but not as "driven" because I can't think of a better word to use there.

The word you can't think of Isn't a word... it's a series of words.

Frosty wanted to keep Stempniak, thought it was a mistake to let him go.

Still dont get the reference to Stemp. Matthias not a UFA.
