Chatter on Twitter this morning is that the talks between Winnipeg and Buffalo for Kane are really heating up.

 

It may be spiteful, but I'd much prefer to see Kane get traded to a rebuilding team like Buffalo then get rewarded and traded to a contending team in the off season.

 

Of course the best deal for the Jets trumps all that....

If its Bogo and Kane. You think it has to be Myers, 1st round pick, top prospect plus a rental player or 2.

I'd almost think it could be a bit more.  But if Kane gets you a 1st, prospect, rental, is Bogo for Myers a wash?  Do we throw in a Burmi and get a second rental or maybe another prospect?

Don't think it's bogo

It is indeed....

Huge deal. Hearing Myers Stafford Armia and Lemieux plus a first for Kane and Bogosian as principles of deal getting close btwn Buf + Wpg.

Can't see trading Enstrom for Myers since Enstrom is a LHD and there is no reason to trade our BEST LHD right now.  The plan has to be to get Buff back on D which means if Myers comes here, one of Bogo, Trouba, Postma is going the other way (and Postma wasnt playing when Buff was on D so it has to be Bogo or Trouba and it isnt Trouba).

 

Can't see trading Frolik.  Buffalo doesnt want to get better right now especially with a rental.  They have no use for him.  Even if Frolik walks this summer, consider him a "free" rental for us right now.  He's the type of guy we NEED in the playoffs right now.

 

If they trade Bogo there is the risk of upsetting the chemistry but 1) we dont know the chemistry in the room and I *think* Bogo is one of Kane's friends, though I only think that from seeing them hanging out a few times) and 2) if you subtract Bogo from D and add Buff & Myers, is that worth the risk?

 

Myers is compared to Chara.  Bogo is a good D.  Myers could be the type of D that wins you a series.

 

It is indeed....

Good God!  This sort of thing doesnt happen in Winnipeg!  lol  WOW exciting.

Brendan Lemieux, son of Claude

 

Guess where he plays?  Barrie Colts.

 

Left Wing.  6'1".  209.

 

18 years old.

 

Selected 31st overall.

Just to add. If Bogo is going with Kane. There has to be a whole lot more then Myers coming back.

And there almost definitely would be. We'd probably get one of the 1st rounders, Stewart/Stafford, and a prospect, in addition to Myers.

Here's some info:

 

Brendan Lemiuex:

6'1".  209lbs.  18 years old.

Fantasy Outlook: B- : Top nine agitating skilled winger capable of producing upwards of 50-60 points and he should fill up the penalty minute and hits columns.

 

Plays like his father.  Drives opposition crazy.  under-rated offensive upside.

 

 

Joel Armia:

6'3", 187.  21 years old   Finnish.  RW

Has good size for the National Hockey League game, plus the soft hands and instincts of a natural sniper. Knows where to be in score goals and also has two-way upside.  Talented scoring winger with upside.  Already drawing comparisons to Finnish great Teemu Selanne, Armia possesses a similar scoring touch, though not to the same degree.

 

Im beginning to like the sounds of this deal...

Not a fan of this deal.

Not a fan of this deal.

Kane is already gone.  So if you're not liking it because of losing Bogo, what exactly dont you like when you see prospects like the ones rumoured?  That potentially gives us a very talented 3LW and a potentially elite scoring 2RW.  PLUS another first round pick AND a Chara-like massive D man.  Not to mention makes us better right now with Stafford.  I love Bogo, but there is nothing to dislike about this deal in my opinion.

Burmistrov may be involved.

Would Armia come to Winnipeg or go to St. Johns

Dreger saying jets throwing in "unsigned" player (Burmi??) and the first rounder from Buffalo would be the lowest of the three.  Dreger makes it sound like all but done.

Would Armia come to Winnipeg or go to St. Johns

Would think St John's right now though he's 21.  if he cant make the Sabres why would he make the Jets, but you never know.  Fans will love the kid.  a Finnish player compared to Selanne? 

 

This is a great deal (if it happens) for both teams.  Buffalo gets a top forward, a top D and potentially Burmi?  They just moved their rebuild ahead by two years.  If it happens....

 

Jets get help NOW and my goodness, with guys like Ehlers & Petan coming up, this is really really exciting for our future.

Lawless says not Burmi is it Teligin

Not Burmi now according to Lawless.

Lawless said sound like Burmi, then not Burmi.  Interesting.  Plot thickens.  Unsigned... hmmm.  Not Ehlers/Petan???

unsigned player is goalie Jason Kasdorf

Whew

Rick Ralph ‏@RickRalphTSN 19s19 seconds ago

#NHLJets prospect Jason Kasdorf may be a part of this according to @DarrenDreger

This is a good deal, hate to lose Bogo but Myers is bigger and has as much if not more upside simply because of that size. Plus another first rounder and some interesting prospects and guys that can help us in this year's playoff run. Thanks for being a jerk Evander

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger 49s49 seconds ago

Unsigned goalie, Jason Kasdorf also goes to Sabres in trade. Done deal.

Myers and Bogo both have no trade clauses.  Myers kicks in AFTER next season.  Bogo kicks in...at some point but not right now.

 

If Kasdorf gets the deal done, great option for Jets since they dont need him.  Also intrigues me that Burmi isnt involved...supposedly Buffalo was close to trading for him two years ago, assuming they'd still like him, means the Jets want to keep him (or see his value higher than Buffalo). 

 

if this happens, I will say this about Chevy - he took a Thrashers team with not much in the cupboard and re-stocked it incredibly well in a very short period of time.

Done deal

 

 Buf - get Kane, Bogo and Jason Kasdorf. Jets get: a first, Armia, Lemieux, Stafford and Myers

DONE!  Holy ****!
