Speculation: 2024/25 Trade Rumours, Speculation etc Thread

JT Miller would fit in perfectly with the shit heads on F*** Vegas, now who do we put on LTIR

Wonder if Vilardi would want to stay here. Didn't he love LA and his gf was from there?

I somehow got onto Jets Wives/Girlfriends TikTok (probably through clicking on the Sambergs' dance clip), and Vilardi's GF comes up a lot. It's mostly "what I'm wearing to my boyfriend's hockey game" stuff but there is semi frequent "winter really sucks" stuff.

Ok, but, his contract is not up right away couples break up. Where’s Ianana/stumbs when you need them?

I think Vilardi stays. He is getting the usage he has only ever dreamed about. Playing on one of the best lines in the NHL and #1 PP time. If the guy loves hockey as much as it looks he does it will never get better than that for him.

I hope so, but, truthfully as we all know the ideal hockey situation isn’t enough if the player’s family wants out. Work can never be your everything. Right now he is proving himself so he will have a few choices.

Jets also have 2 more years of team control so he has limited options at this point. Offer him the big deal he has earned and I think he stays.

Agreed - iirc he came into town having Perfetti ish usage in LA and was immediately annointed as 1st line RW with top PP time here, no guarantee he gets that opportunity elsewhere. I imagine the Jets org have earned some goodwill from him because of that

Here's a HF proposal if I've ever given one:
1st (25) + 1st (26) + Lambert + Yager + Salomonsson + Perfetti + Apples
For
Barzal + Dobson (50% retained remainder of year)

Isles set for future especially with their lottery pick this year and the almost NHL ready players they're getting. Jets get their core set up for runs the next 5 years with guys in their prime.

AFAIK, retention has to be a % that applies each year of the contract. Dobson is only under team control for 1 more year.

Been drilling through a few stats tonight. Found this the most satisfying...

Since the beginning of 2022-23 (last 2.5 years). We're the second best team in the league 5v5; measured by GF%. That's with roughly median SH% and the best SV% in the league. I think that's a fair reflection of our goalie.

Maybe this is just who we are.

Now with an elite powerplay!

I think we'll win the Cup this year.

Kind of wish we had put Perfetti on Vilardi's development path in LA... second season he was 3rd or 4th line center for the whole year to see how it worked iirc - then his final year was RW with Byfield... pretty similar to the line that we finally have Perfetti on.
