Jets Trade Mason & Armia to Montreal

Yup. Salary dump. Tough to lose Armia but... Lots of bottom 6 depth. 

so what happens now? goalie wise? does this mean Hutch is going to be sticking around

Doubt it. Theres options out there. 

This has to be a sign Statsny is close to reupping, right?

Chevy had to do this, you can't have a 4 million back up when you up against the cap and would like to make some moves, Armia was a favorite of mind but he can be replaced easily, does Stastny sign ? should an interesting weekend.

Who is Simon Bourque?

Don't know much about Bourque.  LHD - 6'0, 185 lbs  This was his draft year scouting report courtesy of Future Considerations:

Quote

SCOUTING REPORT: A solid, mature-minded, two-way blueliner who plays a solid game at both ends of the ice. He has a good, powerful stride with good speed and acceleration. He uses his skating power to join the rush and get involved offensively. Pivots well and has fluid all-direction mobility. He handles the puck well, using his strength on the puck and hand-speed to gain space to rush up ice or make a strong pass up ice. He distributes the puck effectively and has an accurate good wrist-shot from the point. His vision is high-end. His slap shot is relatively weak and will need some work. He is strong defensively, playing aggressively and physical, but will need to continue to add strength to be more effective in that role. Keeps attackers to the outside and can keep up to the speedy opponents because of his strong skating ability. He makes good step-ups and aggressive plays to force guys wide and take them off the puck in the corners and along the boards. He is aggressive and tough down-low on defense. A guy who makes good decisions all over the ice and can play heavy minutes when called upon. This kid’s game is on a steep trajectory and only getting better.

NHL POTENTIAL: Bottom-Four Two-Way Defenseman.

Haven't watched him at all, but had a rough year stats wise in Laval lat year.  Both he and Luke Green spent parts of 2016-17 in Saint John.  Not sure if there was overlap, but perhaps Jets would have had opportunity to get familiar with?

Just a guy who will play for the Moose

21 year old... Played well in Jr. Struggled with a crappy Laval team. Lots of people think he could be a good one in the future. 

Losing Armia sucks but as others have said something has to give with the bottom six logjam.  And jets have depth to replace him. 

Mason served his purpose here despite injuries, being a great teammate and pushing Helle to be better. 

Jets likely still looking to make moves as they need a back up. 

 

Armia was the price to take mason and not have the jets retain any money. Feel a bit bad for Steve. He is a good goalie. Hopefully he’s healthy and lands somewhere good for him. 

you mean they're going to do to Mason what OTT and Florida did to Hoffman?

Edited by iHeart

Montreal will buy Mason our, apparently. So he will be UFA. Maybe jets sign him cheap but I think he’d get more somewhere else. 

I'll miss Armia. One of those guys who needed a sniff on a top line to shine and that was not gonna happen here.

Wondering about Mason's concussions and what happens to him next.

4 for 1 :o but more so worried about the new backup cause The Brick is 4GAA.

 

This is one deal that I think we definitely did not win... a little bit rich for a 1 year salary dump guy who other teams *should* be interested in.

How is it not a win if they sign Stastny ?  He’s the top centre after Tavares on the board...

Masons career is probably over...

We have the depth to replace armia. 

 

Welcome to salary cap world where u gonna have to move depth and replace them with depth. 

yeah we were having a good season before he signed with us but now I feel like we lost Mason and Armia for nothing
