Speculation: 2024/25 Trade Rumours, Speculation etc Thread

If a type of player doesn’t age well it’s got to be Lowrt and everything he does to his body.

You never really know how well an athlete conditions themselves. His dad scored 18 goals at 35 in the old NHL. I think Adam could play for another 5 years at a competitive rate. I'd be concerned with an 8 year contract with Ehlers, because once the Fly is a step slower, he can get squashed. A skilled guy like Datsyuk took a lot of hits at the end of his career because he lost a step.

Lowry is 2 years away from UFA. That's a long time when you play like him at 32. They'll resign him if he hasn't fallen off a cliff, but it might not be until well into 2025-26 season. Probably 3x$4m at most.

Connor is also 2 years away from UFA. But both can renegotiate in the offseason and that would proably be the 2nd layer behind Scheife and Hellebuyck. I think you are discounting Lowry, he's the #1 matchup centre, home ice advantage, was that Point and Kucherov he was shutting down yesterday? Crosby. Mc David. He gets all those matchups. And wins more than he loses. He's not a bargain player. A big part of the Jets identity is him and Scheifele, two powerful centres. Ehlers gets the easier matchups because of Lowry. And his linemates.

That's a tough one. I know these boards are offense oriented, but I think the Jets would be a non playoff team without Lowry.

How much would you offer Lowry then? It's a long ways away anyways, a lot can change in 2 years

I'm definitely discounting 35-38 year-old Lowry. Love 32 and 33 year-old Lowry that we have under contract.

I think you just go with maybe a 2-3 year contract take him to 35/36. Worst case is his skating takes even more of a hit but he can still be a capable 4th liner towards the end. The trouble does become what he gets paid but his value in the room is also worth something.
