Speculation: 2024/25 Trade Rumours, Speculation etc Thread

Don’t see it happening. 2 years off since he last played won’t do him any favours at his age.

Theyre signing him to immediately get some cap IR space...

 

[Thechozen1]

If not for the NMC, Trochek would be such a good fit on the Jets second line. Unfortunately that won’t happen.

Granlund in a lower key move would be a decent upgrade on Namestnikov

Minnesota likely is going to do everything they can to ensure Nelson is traded to them and only them.

Ultimately to get an true long term upgrade, Jets have to probably move Perfetti, but with Ehlers status in limbo that doesn’t happen.

If the Ehlers situation could be resolved, a package could be built around Perfetti and then Chibrikov takes his spot in the lineup. Just need a desperate GM (Adams, Drury, Allvin) willing to bank on Perfetti’s potential in a change of scenery.

 

[Finnflash]

I want the Jets to and get a gamer at the trade deadline or sooner. Someone highly competitive, mentally tough, and consistently performs well, especially in critical or high-pressure situations. Someone that is reliable, passionate, and thrives when the stakes are high.

That’s it.

Agreed. I don’t think it is feasible otherwise unless Rangers retained.

They wouldn’t need to retain much, maybe $1M. With cap going up and Wheeler, then Schmidt’s, buyout coming off the books you can make it work. Unless Ehlers wants to make more than Scheifele.

It’s more about getting Iafallo’s cap hit off the books and replaced with a less expensive option.

Just not sure what pageau brings that gus or names or kupari dont

Well he has 16 ES points, which is more than Perfetti or Namestnikov, 59.5% on the draw, so you can use him in all situations.

Looking through stats I'd say Kupari has the worst results of all the PKers, so if you add a player the one coming out is likely him. So in essence you replace a RH faceoff guy, PKer, who can play heavy d-zone minutes when you want to protect Lowry on the opposite dot. Not afraid to go to the net. Has some playoff results.

The way I see it, is that scoring isn't the only need this team has, especially guys who would be potentially PP guys with no top PP spots. Maybe not even 2nd PP spots, who comes out there? But a 2 way centerman, PKer, versatile, gives Arniel some different looks.

I think it's moot because I don't think he's on the market, but he fits a two year window, if you want to give Yager a development year.

 

[jokesondee]

Be a great story. Hometown boy. He'd fit right in at 2C. Gobs of playoff experience and a multiple Stanley Cup winner. I would for sure be interested if his ask is reasonable.

 

[10Ducky10]

For the people wanting Zib, have you watched him play in the last year?
I would want no part of him at any cost.

Another advantage would be that we would not have to give up any assets...

If they really wanted to solve their 2c issues

I would pay big for pettersson and see if he can turn it around with a fresh start

Heinola-bust

Well they hit on a few later round D and binned them before they had a chance to show what they could do .

Ves is a bust. Heinola and Lucius still too early, they both might be everyday NHLers, which is about all you hope for in the back half of the first.

Think the first 5 years skewed peoples expectations. They routinely picked top 10-15 since they were missing the PO's so got good quality prospects. Take their selections from pick #16th or higher into account

Connor
Roslovic
Stanley
Vesalainen
Heinola
Lucius
Barlow

Connor top line fwd the rest are mid level to worse, with a couple of TBDs. I think that's closer to reality given that pick range.

If they really wanted to solve their 2c issues

I'd love to have Pettersson, but the ask is likely high. At a guess, at least one or more roster players might need to be included. Who do we have that would even move the needle and would be willing to give up?

The ask would be Perfetti + +

One of the +s would have to hurt. Probably one of Lambert, Chibs or Salo

I'm torn as to whether or not I'd do it

 

[Huffer]

Pettersson would be an interesting pickup for sure.

On the plus side, he's got elite skill and is also good defensively. He's also got term on his contract.

On the minus side, that contract is long and with a high number if he doesn't return to a 100+ point C. He's also another skill and non physical player for the top 6. And there is the cap to think about (Connor, etc.). If you have to move Perfetti + Lambert (as a base), is there money for Connor, Vilardi, and Ehlers? Because if not, and Perfetti and Lambert are out the door, who's playing in the top 6?

The return would also be another question. The Canucks likely don't want heavy futures, so we'd have to lose someone from the roster + (most likely Perfetti).

 

[voyageur]

I wonder with not many big trades on the horizon until after the Four Nations, if the Jets don't do something under the radar. Pretty hush about Appleton. Not a lot of RH depth. Throw out a 3rd rd pick for Colton Sissons, and you have another option at center with Namestnikov not able to take draws, or a winger for Lowry, who can likely improve the PK, since the Preds strength this year has been their PK.

 

[abax44]

I'm alone on this one, but I'd love a player like Mathieu Olivier on the 3rd line. Can skate a bit, can pk a bit, hits like a mad-man.

 

[KingBogo]

It would be great if he is close to the player he was at one time, but 2 years away from the game and at age 36, that is one hell of a tough climb.

 

[bustamente]

He wants to play but can he play at the NHL level anymore, I have my doubts

 

[Flair Hay]

Interesting to think about Petterson that's for sure.

The way the Jets structure their lines you pretty much need your 2C to be a true top line guy. If you want to measure up to most cup winners from the last decade or so.

It doesn't feel like a Jets type move to go out and acquire an $11M player. Especially if they aren't 100% sure the chemistry is a fit.

If it was Ehlers going back the other way that's the only way I can see it happening. But too late for a sign and trade now.

Would basically need to be Ehlers for #1 salary #2 a top line calibre guy back. And then make up the value for Ehlers being UFA and a lesser player.

Basically the way Tkachuk (Petterson) was dealt for first line UFA Huberdeau (Ehlers) and UFA Weegar and a 1st.

9.5 mil in, 9.15 mil out in that Tkachuk deal for Florida.

So basically our equivalent of Weegar is or DeMelo

11.6 mil in, 11.9 mil out.

And a 1st. Eek. Steep.

That said...you can find cheap top 6 wingers to play with stars. Hard to find elite C outside the top 3 of the draft without amazing luck and development

You are definitely not alone on targeting Olivier...

I've been playing around how this might work as well, by why do you say it is too late for an Ehlers sign and trade? At the very least Ehlers agreeing to sign with the Canucks would have to be part of the deal.
