Jets Trade Mason & Armia to Montreal


Rich

Recommended Posts

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?

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...
