Preseason is over.  Time to get to the real season and do it in style like only Jagr can.

I believe they wanted to protect against losing Josh Anderson.  Young physical winger, but I'm guessing he tops out as a 3rd liner.  No logic at all.

Sure with the benefit of hindsight it looks really bad but let's not pretend anybody saw William Karlsson breaking out like this.  He was a fourth line player last year.

Scratch another off the Jets' potential list.

Apparently a 2020 3rd so Id have to assume Jets werent interested... small price to pay.  Or they have bigger fish to fry.

Everyone vs Winnipeg, part 3

 

 

I honestly don't think that's such a great return.  They are without a doubt a worse team now and aside from the late first rounder and a decent prospect in Gustavsson they haven't done too much for their future.  Gaborik with 3 more years on a 4M+ contract isn't a great asset either.

They still have Ryan's contract anchoring them down. Then, they're going to have to unload Karlsson at a reduced price.

Although, getting rid of Phaneuf is a good move at any price.

 

Quebec City is going to inherit a mess of a franchise.

Not to mention trading a potential stud for that bum Burrows.  Giving up on Zibanjed.   Karlsson heading out the door.  Just a trash heap. 

Here on TSN 1260 in Edmonton they just mentioned Roslovic for Maroon would be a fair return ???

Is all Edmonton media that bad?  I saw, I think Edmonton Sun, putting over their GM for his great moves.

I guess TSN1290 isn't the only radio station with idiots in its employ.

 

3/4 of the way through the season.... if the playoffs were to start today, these would be the matchups

I like that match up for Winnipeg.  Plus, road games might seem like home games too!

County fair?  Maybe they meant they would also throw in the return fare?  The Maroon should get Eric Fehr in return ?

 

Let's see.  By 2020 one projects to be an emerging 2nd line center and one projects to be a 4th line winger.  That seems pretty fair.

They’ve been desperate for a weeks and weeks for anything remotely interesting to talk about.  Sure the Oilers need players but they have almost nothing of value that they’d even consider trading.  

The painful truth the media here never mentions is that every front office that’s come through here has kept the same brutal scouting staff for decades.  I’m not remotely an Oilers fan but it’s hard not to see the real problem here.

Losing out on Brassard, Im not hopeful we land Patrick Maroon.  Big body.  Plays hard.  Playoff experience.  PK.  Can score.  He's a Left Wing though.  Would it end up Maroon-Hendricks-Copp on the 4th line?  Maroon - Copp - Armia?

Jets need a Centre for Laine/Ehlers or another LHD...  not sure what a winger would do for this team

I dont think there are any left, unless they do something crazy like get Stastny!

Here are the Centres on TSN's list:

Zack Smith (Ottawa)

Derek Ryan (Carolina)

Max Domi (Arizona)

JG Pageau (Ottawa)

Luke Glendenning (Detroit)

Boone Jenner (St Louis)

Andrew Shaw (Montreal)

Matt Cullen (Minnesota)

Boon Jenner is interesting...

A winger for Sheif and let Wheeler centre Laine and Ehlers?

 

I'm not comfortable moving Wheeler to centre long-term but I can see how it would work this year.
