Speculation: 2024/25 Trade Rumours, Speculation etc Thread

  • Xenforo Cloud upgraded our forum to XenForo version 2.3.4. This update has created styling issues to our current templates, this is just a temporary look. We will continue to work on clearing up these issues for the next few days and restore the site to it's more familiar look, but please report any other issues you may experience so we can look into. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
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
Yes to going after Granlund…not interested in Risto.

What do you guys think of the backup situation going forward? Does Comrie have your trust or do you think we need to get someone else (cheap, veteran, experience) by the deadline? I know he has been playing pretty well, even though he's lost the last 7 starts, doesn't help that the team isn't scoring much to help him, but do you think a different presence back there would help? Helle playing so much (Vesina calibre, night in and night out), but we've seen this song and dance before when playoffs come.

I think Comrie is fine - Jets are gonna go as far as Helle will take them in the playoffs, I can't see Arniel starting anyone else in the playoffs even if Helle struggles

I would look for another backup. It's not that he's allowed a ton of weak goals, but he just doesn't make the saves Brossoit did (for instance) because of the size issue. Save% is way lower than Helle, while LB actually had an even higher save% than Helle last year.
If Helle goes down, we are toast - unlike last year. Also, we need someone who can play more games than Comrie, so Helle is not coming into the playoffs exhausted.

I'd honestly call Martin Jones and possibly get him here on a very cheap contract, depending on how it goes from now till TDL. He has made it to the cup final before.

Comrie has been fine. Even the low(ish) sv% is more on the play in front of him than it is on him. They haven't scored for him and a lot of the goals scored on him have come from bad play in front of him. Maybe just bad luck, but not a reflection on him.

Don't expect a backup like LB. He was exceptional in that role.

I'm not a Comrie fan and was not happy when he was brought back again. But he has played very well.
 
chevy barely ever trades out of prospects, unless they dont want to be here/want out. i can't see him trading multiple this tdl, although some names are intriguing to fulfill a mid-to-long term 2C.

Other than last week, Comrie usually plays after a b2b, and individually well. Team in front of him sometimes doesn't, which is expected after a b2b. I don't think the Jets spend anything for a new backup who will likely never play in the POs, and is a crapshoot on if they're an upgrade on Comrie.

Brooks doesn't generally toss out a lot of garbage so I tend to believe this one might be true. Also just seems like a Chevy type of move.

Ehlers and Barzal together would be an absolute dream. Would imagine the cost is Perfetti plus a 1st plus probably another asset. Wouldn't surprise me if Lou wanted Fetts, Lambert and a 1st right now. If they could get the cost down to Fetts, 1st and Ville / Stan? Would be all over that.

I added his 9.15 into my cap sheet and it is doable to bring back Ehlers & Pionk with that included. Leaves you with around 3 mil to sign one of AI, Names & Apples. The other two walk and get replaced with ELCs.

chevy and lou are the tightest lipped gm's in the league but somehow a guy from the hockey news is the one to get the scoop? ya, I ain't buying that...

Does it work in a big fat raise for KC? What are you budgeting Ehlers at?
 
Not fully sure what need Barzal fills...
I would assume the Jets would veiw him as a centre and would be moving him back. He certainly has the foot speed to play C in the Jets system.

Ehlers @ 8.5 Pionk @ 6.5 Vilardi @ 5.8 and Samberg @ 5.2. The following year I have KC @ 9.5 that is probably light depending on how aggressively the cap rises but there is a lot of cap space that year and you will still have guys on ELCs so it's manageable.

I think that there is a wider gap in the pay between Ehlers and KC, but, your numbers make sense to me.

I think it's generally a consensus that a prospect has more value than a draft pick, simply because they are farther along in the process. Prospects who are unsigned may have trade value, at the risk of losing them for nothing.

Given the timing of the end of the AHL season with the start of the NHL playoffs, and the current position of the Moose, I wonder how much depth Chevy might have internally that could be used, saving trade assets.

Chibrikov as a top 6 forward, Salomonsson as a bottom pairing d-man, Lambert, Ford, AJF, Toninato etc. And Kahkonen in net. Do these guys all get promoted, and do any see game action in the playoffs? If someone goes down, or underperforms.

I think C is the only position the Jets are for sure looking at adding. That would be confirmed by Chevy searching out Adam Henrique in the offseason, in spite of the players here. So the team probably feels they are another center away from contention.

I think there is probably a little pressure on Chevy to go big on a trade, because it's conceivable next year's Jets team isn't as good as this year's. Too many holes to fill, which resulted in a 2019 to 2020 drop off in talent and success, with fortunately better and closer to ready prospects that 2019-2020 offered.

As for the above post, I think Vilardi is worth as much as Ehlers to this team. It's funny the discrepancy because their stats are very similar, and Vilardi plays a harder role, with more goals as a result. UFA I think Ehlers gets a number over 10 though, and a bigger role.
