time for a new thread for a new season that begins today. Canada Day. Free Agent Frenzy. 

Will the Jets trade Trouba?  Will they resign Scheif to an 8 year deal?  

Will Boston, as heavily rumoured, offer sheet Trouba?  What about the rumours of the Jets in a three way deal with Edmonton and Avs?

Stay tuned! 

Tobi can waive his NMC....Buff has one too.

Leave player x unprotected and they don't take Enstrom or give them a draft pick.

if we go 1-8 we will lose a good player.

Not sure LV would want the lil general on their D.

all the more reason for them not to take him if he is left unprotected.

Why would enstrom do that? Unless he has a desire to go play in Las Vegas. Unlikely to do it. There are ways to get around it but most likely Jets would protect 4 d and lose a solid forward. Lowry or Armia. 

You must not have read what I said...

 

"Make a deal with Vegas not to pick Enstrom and do the 1-3-7.

Helle-Buff Myers Trouba? Scheifele Wheeler Little MP Armia Lowry Copp/Dano....maybe we make a deal to leave a player open like Dano/Copp?"

Enstrom cannot be exposed. He just be protected. So you're suggesting the jets ask Enstrom to waive his no movement clause so they can expose him but not to worry because they make a deal with Vegas not to choose him?  Seems unlikely to me. More likely they would just ask Enstron to waive and he'd say no. 

 we won't be the only ones to be making a deal with Las Vegas like this. You talk to Las Vegas first and that you make the deal and you tell him that the deal is made so he waves his no movement cause for the draft. As far as I'm concerned this is the smartest thing to do because it messes protect 7 for words and not for. If we protect for four words we will lose a very good player. If we protect 7 four words we lose the third fourth line tweener

 I am voice to text app on my phone and it doesn't always type what I say but I think you can get the gist of it.

Depends on if Vegas wants a player for now or picks to build for the future. 

Otherwise why would they make a deal so they can pick a worse player from us. 

If I was Vegas I might just say no deal and force the Jets to expose a player like Armia. 

 a chance of maybe getting Armia  or for sure getting Dano?

Just saying there is many variables and discussions in this, it really isn't as straight forward of suggesting 'make a deal' for them not to take a player. 

Trade trouba for an expansion exempt D 

1 3 7 

Helle. Buff Toby Myers plus 7 forwards

Scheif Wheeler Perreault Little Armia Lowry Dano 

Ehlers Connor Laine Morrissey exempt Tanev too for that matter. 

 

It's possible Vegas could take Stu or Mathias tho.

Are we sure that Stuart does not have to be protected?

Pretty sure. We must protect the Chiarot!

Pretty good tool here to do mock expansion drafts and protects for each team.  Linked to the Jets page, shows who is exempt and who has NMC.  Stuart doesn't need to be protected.

If trouba signs or is traded for a defenseman that needs to be protected they will have to do something and only protect 3 defense and 7 for words.

Odds are they protect 4 D and then only 4 forwards. Leaves Dano or Lowry as likely picks by Vegas. Then again maybe they'd snag Burmi . 

So if Trouba sits out the season, do you need to protect him?

If you want to keep him. He would still be eligible to be selected by Vegas. So jets would protect him. 

Didnt the NHL just make a rule allowing Vegas to target free agents prior to the rest of the league? Not sure if that impacts trouba at all, I didn't listen too closely 

Yeah Trouba is interesting in that hes unsigned RFA. Need to question Wiebe on this. Unless someone knows. Vegas gonna have the best team of 3rd line wingers.

Trouba is definitely eligible even if unsigned. Jets have to protect him or Vegas can select him in the expansion draft and then he'd be their unsigned RFA

Jets can then either match the offer or take the picks...

Not if Trouba is unprotected and Vegas takes him, which is what TUP was talking about.  In that situation he is Vegas property and they have the right to match.

Jets have to protect Trouba.
