Assuming everyone stays healthy.. Do you think the Jets make a splash?

I was listening to Lawless yesterday and he says the only *name* he heard was O'Reilly in Colorado and even that was a big long shot.

Who do you think the team would part with??

Do you think they would deal Kane, Pavs or even a top prospect like Petan?

Winning face offs helps you win games - rent vermette and if he clicks with Kane then worry about signing him - no one else would have the same impact imo

Winnipeg cheap alternatives. 

 

None of these suggestions seem any better than Halischuk...  pretty sure Winnik is not the secret ingredient to winning a cup

What about pending UFA Jiri Tlusty? TSN article below stating Canes GM Ronnie Francis will be unloading upcoming UFAs. Tlusty has 68 goals in his last 235 games - or about 24 over an 82 game season.

Postma and a 3rd/4th get the job done??

I dont want to trade Postma for a rental.

 

How about Chris Stewart.  Big body.  Scored 18 goals just a couple years ago in 48 games.  Might look good with Lowry and Kane banging and crashing.

Despite doing nothing of note in the past two seasons, he'll still be in demand. It might take a lot to get him. He can be pretty lazy, but if he's motivated to play he can be pretty good.

Stewart would look nice next to Kane and Lowry, Stafford might also. Tough to say with those guys how good they would be since they are playing on a  bad buffalo team. I'm not sure what it would take to get Stewart or even Stafford but i believe the rumor going around last year (we apparently tried to get stafford) was Buffalo wanted Burmistrov plus a pick. (believe it was a 1st) I don't see that still being the same value but.. maybe Burmi plus Postma for Stewart or Stafford gets you one of them.

 

Think that's a fair price too. Not sure there is room for Burmi next season here and don't see Postma being as good as some other people thinks he will be. I think if it takes Burmi plus Postma, they do it. 

 

Can think what we want about Postma, it's irrelevant, all that matters is what the Jets Chevy and Maurice think of him and him being healthy scratched the last several games (might be more than 10 ) suggests they aren't as high on him as some fans are. 

I would think the jets have a pretty good idea of Burmi's status. So if they trade him so be it. But if he's willing to come back and work within Paul's system he could be a big contributor.

No. Pens made an offer but there was no trade.

Bob McKenzie is stealing my information. He's saying Vermette is the top name in the trade market and will demand a big return. He says it will take a 1st rounder and a decent prospect to get him.

 

So not Postma & a mid-round pick...

Too rich for our blood.

Vermette... Winnik... Stewart... sure is looking like a soft trade market this season.

Not a surprise though, that was the ask 2 weeks ago; it hasn't changed.  Just like a first rounder for Stewart.  Which is why I was puzzled Jets fans are saying we should bring these guys in - if you are not a strong cup contender with considerable assets, and you are missing one clearly identifiable piece, and that player looks to fit it, it's a bad trade.  No matter what team you are.  A pending UFA for high picks?  Nine and a half times out of ten, it's a terrible idea.

 

The list of things the Capitals don't have this year: Filip Forsberg, Martin Erat, a Stanley Cup.

 

Whomever is clamouring for our GM to make bad trades, please stop.

No need for a mis-step at this point, as in foolish trade.

The Jets are getting there, but they're not close enough..yet.

Just keep on keeping on.

I hear what you and some others are saying about potential trades and agree overall.  

But I do think a GM is no different than a coach, is no different than a player in how he approaches the game.

Is our GM 'playing' not to lose or is he 'playing' to win. I'll take a latter for our GM when it comes to how he considers making this team stronger.

You want the GM to make the team stronger for sure but theres no guarantee that trading for let's say Winnik, since there has been interest in him, makes us any better than what we are but it could make us worse over the long term depending on what we give up to get him. I want a smart GM, a guy who will only pay so much and not overpay for what is obviously going to just be a rental, would suck to give up a pick (dont think we move a first or second round pick tho) and a prospect who could turn in to something very good for a guy who more than likely will be gone once free agency hits. 

 

I would give up a 3rd for winnik, maybe a 3rd and postma or burmistrov depending on how the Jets feel about him and nothing more. 

Bogo for vermette

Bad Bogo showed up last night lol. Id do this trade but only cuz I'm a vermette fan.

Frolik if not signed.

Giving up control of a good player till 2020-2021 for a rental not very wise

Don't trade Frolik. That's just silly. Even if he walks it's like getting a "rental" for free.

If we traded a solid asset like bogosian for vermette, I'd hope that we would be able to sign him to an extension..

Besides Perrault (who I think has been an absolutely outstanding player and has caught everyone off guard lol) Frolik is my next unsung hero of this team.. He's been very good for us since we brought him in and don't see any reason to move him.. Also, if we didn't bring him back, it would be a loss IMO.

Not only has Frolik been very good, he's been asked to punch above his weight.  He was signed to be the 3RW and has played top line and top six minutes and expected to contribute offensively.  I think he's been great.  We will have to over-pay for him because he's a UFA and teams will line up to sign him.  He's the perfect piece to add if you're a playoff team looking for someone to help put you over the top.  The Jets might look at that and decide they arent at the point to pay a player like that what he will get on the open market.  That will be up to the Jets to decide in the off-season.

 

This slump is a good example of why the team likely needs to improve the middle six and bottom six.  We lack depth in a major way.

 

I can see Bogo being traded in the off season (if Buff is resigned long term) but not for rental.  Arizona would have to include something significant.
