I mean Pietrangelo. Damn. 

 

Actually, either would be fine.

Works for me.

Love it. Would have liked to have them retain a little bit, but eh. That's fine. The cap space is there for this reason. Another good move by Chevy.

They retained a bit by taking Dahlstrom. $850k. 

Jets still have some cap issues.   Depending on what happens with Little, there are still a bunch of RFA's to resign.   We may not have the dollars to get a big impact defenseman that is missing from this club.

 

I feel like they did not get enough here. Vegas very desperate to shed cap dollars, we should have gotten a draft pick back from them, forced them to retain salary, or offered no better than a 5th or not given a player as well. They were in more need to make this deal than we were. And I don’t know how much 2 years older and the injuries will offset the prior chemistry with Laine and Ehlers in a short sample size. If we had the 2018 Stastny and not the 2021 Stastny I’d be more pleased with the deal. We shall see. 

I think Little is retiring and that's why they were able to take on Stastny. 

Great write-up from Ken Wiebe on the trade: https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/re-acquiring-paul-stastny-benefit-jets-multiple-ways/

Quote

A trade for Stastny in an attempt to rekindle some chemistry with Laine and Ehlers is a much better alternative for Cheveldayoff than moving Laine in a trade he might end up regretting.

Stastny is a highly-analytical player who loves to talk about the game, which allowed him to build a fast friendship with Jets top centre Mark Scheifele. Stastny is also close with Jets captain Blake Wheeler and it’s possible those two could play together on a line at some point, much like they did during the 2012-13 lockout when they were teammates in Germany in the DEL with Munich EHC.

He was not a regular but I liked Dahlstrom’s size. Oh well, the new kid roughly the same.

There is a sad part to this story. This really feels like the nail in the coffin for Little’s career.

 

Solid top 9 

But, man, did we gut our depth chasing the cup run...  

$10 million in cap for the four RFAs and another D...

There's no 1RHD coming - Chevy only has $2-3 million (IF THAT) unless he can shed the Perrault contract

I thought it was all but confirmed that Little was retiring? With all he's been through, now seems like a really good time for him to transfer into a front office role with the club....

say it ain't so..... the lord giveth back Stastny and the lord taketh Laine

Oh, boy. Please mind the Twitter handle. 😉

 

yeah you're right Wiebe or Hamilton would have said something by now.....or Fans of the Winnipeg Jets for that matter, I should have seen that ghost of Morins MCL, I guess I'll give myself a one hour posting penalty

Seems like the Jets were on his 10-team LNMC. Shame.

Gotta shed salary so they can afford Pietrangelo. Buncha jerks.

Too bad the Jets missed out on Devon Toews.   Two 2nd's for a legit top 4 who's 26 yrs old?!   Sakic is just killing it in Denver.  

 

We're going to have to move Roslo and Niku to add anyone else. Or, the best we'll be able to do is a $2M defender. 

 

 

Currently, we have one defender making just over $6M per year and everyone else is at $3M or less. Crazy. 

 

$16.075M (plus Niku). Presently, 19.7% of our cap is going to our defense. 

 

It's time to make some moves.

Very interesting comments from Pierre Lebrun, who spoke with Laine's agents. 

Both sides are in regularcommunication and Laine's agents have said to Chevy, given the trade speculation, that a trade would be mutually beneficial for both parties. 

We are definitely looking at the end of Laine's tenure here, I fear. 

This doesn't sound like contract negotiation stuff. 

A shame, really. 

 

Seems like smoke has ignited to a small flame, way to much about Laine and the way he has been used, attitude toward coach and what he may be looking for financially speaking, still can't believe that the Jets will trade him but I'm slowly being coaxed.
