Speculation: 2024/25 Trade Rumours, Speculation etc Thread

I don't think there is anyway for certain to know if Anderson would be willing to re-sign in Winnipeg. He is 1 1/2 years out so he can't re-sign yet. Chevy would have to trade for him based on 1 1/2 years of service and hope he likes it in Winnipeg. He only has a 6 team no trade list, so maybe Winnipeg isn't on it.

Wpg is probably on his list. But that doesn't mean he wouldn't waive.

I would be inclined to pay up and hope we win a Cup this year or next. Also obviously hope to extend him but that is just the risk you take. Send Pionk back and they can hope to extend him.

Lambert + Pionk + 1st

I think Yager is the better bet to make it as 2C, so I hold on to him.

Andersson is exactly the kind of Dman we need. 2 way game with physicality and some snarl.

That said, I still prefer Weegar, for the term if nothing else. But he has a full NTC.
 
Swap Heinola for Salo and I think that's probably a deal that Calgary considers. They will get significantly better offers than 1st Yager Heinola. It's a massive risk that you make that move and he doesn't resign. Likely this is an offseason move when you can at least discuss the possibility of an extension with the player.

Wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. Not for Salo.

I don't offer Yager either. I get your point but I think Yager has a better chance of hitting. I would add to my offer of Lambert + Pionk + 1st. Add Heinola. Maybe more. But not either Salo or Yager.

I look at who will be helping sooner and that’s Lambert He’s likely moving up next year where as Yager is a few years away.
We have a window we are working with and we need to work within that timeline.
Yes we will need prospects for after, but adding Andersson is a huge plus on our back end, and fills a hole we’ve had for a few years.
I’d do 1st+Yager+Heinola, and would add as needed, but I wouldn’t add Salo and I’d try to keep Pionk for the remainder of the season…if possible. Grab Dumoulin from ANA and run…
Morrissey - Andersson
Samberg - Pionk
Dumoulin - DeMelo

Getting Andersson also gives Chevy the ability to focus solely on getting a top 6C if Lambert doesn’t work out, or flushing out the bottom 3 if he does.
Maybe offer Ehlers+ (Pionk) for JT Miller (+)

Ohh I wouldn't do it either I just think that's what it would take to have the best offer.

With how poor the TDL market looks this year I would be completely content with them using a few mid round picks to get better around the edges. Bring in Dumoulin and Armia for a 3rd,4th,5th type of moves.

Yeah, I get the timing thing but I'm not that impressed with Lambert. I don't think he is the solution at 2C.

Just a little above your post we see that Andersson wants to stay in Calgary, so its moot anyway. At least for Andersson.

I would be willing to go hard for Weegar. But I would not trade Yager or Salo except for a return that I just don't think we could get.

Not interested in Miller. Good player. Too many issues. Not likely to waive for any Canadian city, much less Winnipeg.

Agreed. I don't think Chevy should consider trading either Yager or Salo, unless they are part of a deal for a long term solution at #2 center or top pairing RHD as they represent our best internal options to fill those 2 roles.
 
I think 2C is the biggest need right now. The Jets offence lately is too reliant on CSV, and our 2-4 lines have cooled off from their hot start to the year. Also, we can’t expect to get the penalty calls to go our way in the playoffs, so our hot PP may not be as helpful.
 
Jets need to pull off their version of the Eichel trade and go all in for Petterson. Lambert + Ehlers + 1st + Heinola/Stanley. Then you go out and get a depth 5/6 depth D to replace Stan/Heinola. VAN might also want Perfetti instead of Ehlers which I'd also do. Stop throwing assets every year at trying to fix the quality Center depth issue and set it up for the remainder of Helley/Scheif deals
 
I don't like trading Lambert until we know what's happening with Ehlers.

But if Ehlers extended, I'd do something around Perfetti for Andersson.
I think Calgary needs a C coming back from what their fans have been saying, unless the flames think they can turn Cole into a center I'm not sure if they'd go for that

I don’t think Perfetti gets it done for Andersson. He is now pretty much a winger and another fan base will see him as a 50 point winger which gets you nowhere near a top pairing RHD.
 
Keeping Ehlers while he appears to play top 6 with Lowry on his line and Jets in first place seems like a go-for-it situation, one I haven’t seen in my 74 years.
The city could use a Cup. I’d rather see some of our “promising” projects sold off to acquire a legit 2-C.
Chevy can pull rabbits out of a hat at any time, and players performing with chemistry with even one other linemate are not worth losing at this stage. Ehlers’ top end is still higher than what we’ve seen and attendance will not drop this season as long as he’s clicking. In Chevy magic with trading unproven depth I place my trust, faith and hope. Spend on getting a 2-C.

I do not see Petterson being a playoff 2C

Agreed 100%. I think Granlund + Risto are still my favourite options for realistic acquisitions. Granlund has been a 60/70 point guy since joining the sharks and plays fast, while Risto is a giant who can clear the crease and has decent puck skills. Both seem like great fits for the lineup and our personnel

Connor - Scheifele - Vilardi
Perfetti - Granlund - Nino
Ehlers - Lowry - Iafallo
Barron - Names - Appleton

Morrissey - Risto
Samberg - Pionk
Stanley - DeMelo
 
I don’t know who that guy is talking about Barzal. I say to myself “Self, Chevy doesn’t have those kind of cajones.” And then I remember that he trained Laine for PLD, and then PLD for Vilardi, Iaffalo, and Kupari.

Friends, what if Chevy had the cajones the whole time? Maybe it’s not always what we hope for, but he’s actually making calls from that cabin up in…wherever the cell service stops.

And then he’ll go sign Stanley for 4 more years at 2 mil. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Idk. I think he’s trying stuff.
 
I don't have a good read on any direction the Jets are heading but the one thing that I'll say is that Kupari has been 18 Wins, 4 Losses in the Faceoff dot the last 4 games. I feel like that might garner him some trust from Arny, because that right side defensive zone draw seems to be his. He even won a draw I saw the game before as a righty playing his stick backward on a left side draw. But those kind of numbers are things you look for in tightly matched playoff games.

The ability of Kupari and Barron to sustain some offensive zone time, and play the 2nd PK, with Iafallo stepping up, from defensive zone starts, to me might be untouchable. A player like Appleton might be a perfect complement there. But I'd also expect some versatility from forwards, so that Arniel isn't hard locked into combinations.

Ehlers results last game were positive, probably the most positive results I've seen with him on Lowry's line. But if that were to change I suspect he wouldn't hesitate to go back to a more traditional checking line.

I like the Granlund add because it's an offensive zone player who could produce more offense. I suspect that every team in the Central adds at center before the deadline. Dallas maybe, maybe not they have some versatility there, with guys like Johnston and Benn.

Nelson if he waived might be the ideal center for Nik if the Jets want to go back to more traditional lines.

The one thing I'll say is that I think a top 6 forward coming in has a high risk of bumping Perfetti out of the starting lineup for the playoffs. Call that a hunch, but also maybe an attempt to increase team speed, which I think is more valued by this coach than our previous one. Also a nod to experience, which is something this team has for the most part. Not sure if this is the playoffs Perfetti proves himself or not, maybe gets a Dylan Holloway role like last playoff, in and out of the lineup.

I'm also interested to see if any coach would consider changing Morrissey-De Melo, which is the longest tenured d-pairing in town. They haven't had a dominant playoff, but there's a chemistry thing in Winnipeg that seems to be bigger than past results. I wonder what the conversation would like with the leaders on the team making that kind of trade, how receptive Josh would be to having a different d-partner. Especially with a name like Ristolainen, that isn't embedded in playoff success either.
