Dr Zaius Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 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. blue_gold_84 and JCon 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captaincanuck12 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue4ever Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 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. captaincanuck12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think Little is retiring and that's why they were able to take on Stastny. blue_gold_84 and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_gold_84 Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 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.

There is a sad part to this story. This really feels like the nail in the coffin for Little’s career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 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....

Jimmy Pop Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited October 13, 2020 by JCon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
