Floyd Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Love this deal Armia is the jewel for me - Lemieux looks good too Buff-scheif-frolic Lowry-Perrault-stafford Something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Thanks for the memories Bogo. But this is a great deal for both teams. Now...what do the Jets do? Stafford is a RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpan85 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Wonder if they contemplate moving the pick or Myers for more forward help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think I like it. There's a lot to digest in this trade. Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Khari Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I would have made this trade two weeks ago BEFORE the Kane fiasco What a great trade for the Jets future and more importantly this playoff run! Myers and the other Sabres go from no hope to the ring of fire of the Jets playoff chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Love this deal Armia is the jewel for me - Lemieux looks good too Buff-scheif-frolic Lowry-Perrault-stafford Something like that Byfuglien will clearly go back to D at this point, would he not? Armia is near NHL ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Bittersweet for Bogo I would guess. He moves home but out of the playoffs. Kane probably thinking be careful what you wish for. But good for both teams really. Where's that hastag whatdidchevydo? wow. Blockbuster. Supposedly Vancouver was in on Kane and the Jets called them this morning to say they had a bigger deal. I dont think Jets are done. They need one more forward piece, especially if you want Buff back on D. We need a top 9 LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Well this sucks for my white Bogo jersey I've had for two years waiting for the playoffs Need to digest the rest of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Anyone familiar with Armia and Lemieux? Potential on these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Anyone familiar with Armia and Lemieux? Potential on these guys? Joel Armia has legit top 6 potential. He's very highly skilled, 30+ goal potential in a full time role. Near NHL ready too. Brenden Lemieux is Claude's son. Plays like him too. Very much a pest, but he's only 20 and nowhere near NHL ready. Yet. Current comparable seems to be Andrew Shaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Anyone familiar with Armia and Lemieux? Potential on these guys? I posted some earlier in the thread. Armia is compared to Selanne. Lemieux is either a bottom six or mid six, depending on what you read. Plays tough. Under-rated offensive upside. Coached by hawerchuk in Barrie. Jets will surely know exactly what Lemieux is (surely called Dale on it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Interesting that 1290 guys speculating that Stafford re-signs here but Myers moves on. Stafford is from Faribult, Minnesota (just outside Minneapolis). Ladd - Little - Wheeler Perrault - Scheif - Stafford ??? - Lowry - Frolik Need one more move for a LW.

Floyd Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 if armia is ready for fourth line that would be amazing - but I don't think we see him until next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I really doubt we get rid of Myers. Everyone wants to **** on him for being awful but let's face it. He's logging HEAVY minutes in a defensive black hole. Buffalo fully intends to be terrible. I'm sure once you put Myers in our system, he's going to look a lot more like what he did before Buffalo went in the shitter.

Atomic Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Biggest blockbuster I've seen in quite some time. We lose two very good but controversial players and pick up some very interesting pieces. Curious to see how this plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basslicker Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Absolutely a great trade! Two instant cogs, two future cogs and a 1st rounder! That's a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I wonder about the locker room chemistry. I had always heard mixed things about Bogo and I think he and Kane were close. Didnt Bogo just get engaged? Was that a local girl? Good luck to Bogo. Kane...have fun in Buffalo.

Rich Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 There was a tweet I saw earlier that said our payroll has gone down with this trade. Especially with Buffalo retaining half of Stafford's salary. I do know Myers contract was front loaded, so we get a deal on the money we pay him starting next year or the year after. Since we aren't a cap team, this is a great deal for us. Frees up some cash to sign / re-sign some other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
