And so it begins...

That doesn't seem to steep compared to what we have on our blueline right now. Am i missing something? Is Honka asking for the moon? Well too late now....i trust Chevy but there is no way we last with this defense, if Morrissey goes down for any period of time we don't have a hope...

Thats a weird way to spell Hellebuyck. 

Still think we trade for Hamonic once he's healthy

Remember way back when the rumour was Trouba for Hamonic. Or at least thats what the Isles wanted.

Would have been a good trade back then

The club really doesn't have much in the way for trading pieces.   Do they want to give up on Roslovic?    Maybe Buff comes back healthy and wants out and we can off load him?

No way you offload Roslo 

maybe Appleton and a pick

Why. Just sign him as a FA.

Well he’s not a UFA in mid season

So, you give away assets to have him for less than a season just to see him hit the open market...? That's a lousy idea.

Wow - you’re on a roll this week...

Hamonic has family in Winnipeg - you would trade for him for a cup run this year and then sign him long term to replace Buff

But where does his wife work.... won't that be the determining factor?

Ah, ever the class act you are taking underhanded swipes.

And yes, Hamonic is without a doubt the missing piece this team needs to win a championship.

I’d assume they have interest in hamonic (they inquired about Honka).  Easy deadline deal for a pick. Conditional on re-signing.  If they want too much you wait til off season if you really want him.  
 

Jets should have tons of cap space with Buff suspended and Little on IR. But I doubt they want to give up much at the deadline this year.

Yep, if the Jets make the playoffs it will totally be "with the team that brought you" sort of run.

Yeah but with the NHLPA stepping in about Buff theres no guarantee he wont get this year salary.

Would it not be exempt from the cap anyways? I would hope that if we're forced to pay b/c he's injured, it could be listed under LTIR.

No way the NHL makes the Jets apply buffs salary to the cap...

Nice to see you’ve written off the season...

Hamonic is 100% what’s missing

Nice to see you make dumb, thoughtless, presumptuous comments. Don't be obtuse.

And how in the world is Hamonic going to put the Jets over the top to, as you so aptly put it, go on a championship run? Please expand on your views.

You may want to at least conduct an open source search before incorrectly using a word next time. Just sayin'.

But hey, at least you've managed to explain how a pending UFA, mid-tier blue liner will make the Jets a contender, instead of getting defensive and playing the victim card. Oh, wait...

No one's defensive.  You just seem to be sitting at your keyboard itching for a fight and projecting...  that is pretty much the definition of gaslighting.

Travis Hamonic... mid-tier... haha okay

Hamonic likely will be a Jet but not until July 1st 2020.

"Wow - you're on a roll this week." was nothing more than a petty and inflammatory response to what was a pretty harmless statement: the Jets giving up assets to acquire a pending UFA defenseman is a lousy idea. There was nothing malicious about that statement but you chose to reply in your usual snide, antagonistic way. But I'm the one itching for a fight...? "Haha, okay."

And now you're making more assumptions and misusing words. If anything, the one who's projecting is the one who continually refuses to articulate himself, instead choosing to make needless, immature statements in what seems like nothing more than a lame attempt to derail a thread.

Maybe try a different, more rational approach next time, such as actually expanding on your views and explaining your opinion. You know, actually having a productive discussion.

You seem to think Hamonic would 100% be a difference maker on the Jets, enough to advocate giving away assets to get him despite his being a pending UFA. However, you refuse to address why you think that. Seems a bit strange to take such a hard stance without substantiating it in a meaningful way.

FWIW, I'd take him on this team. He's a local guy, he's a RHD, and he can chew up minutes. I just don't think the Jets should trade for him and wait until July 1 to acquire him - that costs nothing but a new contract offer.
