What does everyone think he is worth and which team is the best trading partner?

Most people think a 1st and a good prospect.

I'd sooner have prospects than picks.

Nobody with a high pick is trading it.

2 and 3 basically same thing.

Bowey another RHD?

I don't get the fixation with RHD vs LHD.  In my day the coach just said "get out there and play defence" and away we went, no matter which way we shot the puck.  I'd be going after Bowey because he's big and tough, and because he has a history of good chemistry with Morrissey.

That's true and some guys can switch without problem.  But it IS a thing to many players and many coaches want the LHD or the RHD depending on situation.  It was used as the excuse as to why Bogo slumped when Trouba arrived (yeah yeah I know) because he was playing his off-side.

Floyd I agree about the Pens.  Maybe its because Im a fan so I focus on them, but Ladd seems right up their alley as far as a player they'd bring in at the deadline.  The only problem is, what do they have to offer?

Well I'd be going after Bowey purely to play with Morrissey.  I don't know which of those guys is the LHD and which is the RHD and I don't really care.

Then you can trade Myers for an LHD 

Buff Trouba Bowey

Trouba - Buff

Enstrom-Hamonic

Morrissey-Bowey

And thats IF you trade Myers which Im not in favour of doing.

Trouba - Buff

Myers - Hamonic (who cares if both are LHD/RHD - this is the NHL, not Senior Rec hockey)

Morrissey - Bowey

Done and done

The benefit to this is, the Hamonic and Myers contracts are tremendous value.  And Morrissey/Bowey are ELC.  So Buff has a big contract and you can give Trouba a good contract and you're not over paying.  In fact, that line up might be the best value in the league for the next 5 years.  if you can get a D prospect in a trade for Toby (and Ladd) then you're laughing.

Morrissey and Bowey played 33 games together and 13 were playoff games.

If you guys think we are getting Bowey and a 1st + ?, you are kidding yourselves. We won't get Bowey and a 1st for Ladd.

We might get Jonas Siegenthaler and a 1st but not Bowey and a first. I'd be happy with Bowey and a 2nd.

 

Wheeler - Schiefle - Ehlers

Stafford - Little - Perreault

Connor - Lowry - Armia

Sanford - Copp - Lemieux

Trouba - Buff

Myers - Hamonic

Morrissey - Bowey

G: Helle/Hutch

Gone - Pavs, Burmi, Thorbs, Ladd, Enstrom

Somehow in exchange we get Hamonic, Sanford, Bowey.

KBF's wishlist/dream team for 2016-17.   And yes, with this line-up we won't make the playoffs, but we'll be fun to watch, and the future will be so bright we'll have to go to all of the games wearing sun glasses.

What's wrong with trading Myers for a similar LHD, maybe one that doesn't play as soft in his zone?

LOL - there's a "similar" LHD to Myers in the NHL currently?  Really?

No, I can't think of someone that size that plays that soft...

I'd trade him for Nathan Beaulieu and a 1st and 2nd.

so aha!  I've proved my point!

I will admit I am a bit biased towards former Rockets so to see three Rockets D-men on the Jets would make me very proud.

If we were paying Myers his full salary (5.5m per year), do you think Chevy would be more inclined to trade him? Dam rights he would.

Myers to Nashville for Weber.  Or Chicago for Keith.  Or Colorado for Tyson Barrie.  Yes, I will only accept a trade for Myers if it is for another former Rockets D man. 

I didn't include Josh Gorges on the list as that would mean Myers would have to go back to Buffalo and I just couldn't be that cruel.

If Myers was paid more cash for sure he'd be more likely to be traded.  It's not a moot consideration.  Neither is his talent and skill set.  And if you put Myers on the trade block today, you'd have 29 teams calling.

Morrissey and Bowie - great duo!!

From what i have read Morrissey is progressing quite well with the moose, a guy with his hockey iq will figure it out, i think he's ready for next year, as for Ladd 1st and a prospect is what the Jets are looking for, some teams have already said that they will not be dealing prospects this year, Pittsburgh is one team on record as saying they need to build up there prospect pool. Chicago and Anaheim and Washington's pick will be 25-30 so they would have to add a almost ready NHL prospect. 

The appeal of Washington for me, my man-crush on Bowey aside, is that Ladd would be traded out of the division.  I still respect him as a player enough to not want to face him more than twice a year.

Ladd probably wouldn't be re-signed by the Caps....strictly a rental.

who would have the cap space to re-sign him though?  Chicago always seems up against the cap, not sure about Anaheim or Florida.
