April 13, 2022 was 2 years, 9 months, 9 days ago.

Seems obvious... however I was into the cilantro a bit and didn't figure it out! It's still been a long time since Towes was in playing shape. Guess we'll see, have to think nothing happens until next season.

 

[Jet]

His last game was April 13, 2022, so it's been just under 2 years (20 months) & finished the season with 15G & 16A in 53 games, scoring at 0.58/GP. On this years edition of the Jets he'd be 5th in scoring. He also spent his last few seasons playing through injury & missed all of February & March in his final season.

See above. Although on the decline, his offensive numbers were still better than over 2/3rd of the league. 500 forwards played 50 games or more that year. Towes' 0.58/GP ranked 150 of 498.

I think it's a fair point that at 36 he could easily be washed up.

But if Toews was willing to sign at league minimum, perhaps even doing a conditioning stint with the Moose to see what he has left, I don't see what it could hurt.

Chevy certainly should putt all his eggs in one basket with expectations he's the solution at 2C. Pursue other options via trade & give Toews a PTO which costs the team nothing but pro-rated cap space.

I think the only way that JT comes back is if there are some guarantees he'll play. I don't see him as one of those desperate sods who begs for a PTO and tries to earn a spot.

I just don't think it makes sense. Maybe bring him in as a faceoff coach, have him around the team. He can help with his experience and hopefully improve our FO%

I think you're thinking of a UTI, which is a urinary tract infection

Just caught a segment about this on TSN. It sounds like there is serious mutual interest for this to happen. But likely not until next year...

Brock Nelson is interesting to me. He's 33 but he can still skate and he's a big body with tons of playoff experience and success, going to the ECF twice. He has produced in the playoffs as well. He's been a top six centre his whole career. It's going to cost a first round pick for sure but maybe not much more than that... Probably a decent prospect as well. We'd have to strike first, there will be other teams interested. He has a 16 team no trade list but maybe would waive for Winnipeg in a rental situation with a good team?

Isles fan coming in peace (assuming the Isles don't make the playoffs, I'll probably "adopt" the Jets for the playoffs). Some people assume that if Nelson leaves the Isles he'll want to go "home" to MIN. However, he's from Warroad, MN, which is a heck of a lot closer to WPG than it is to Minneapolis, FWIW.

I'd love to see a trade around Nelson and Ehlers, but I assume that's not something you all would be interested in.

No, doesn't make sense for any playoff team to do IMO.

Likely the Jets would offer a pick & prospect......otherwise not much sense in the trade. Jets would need to make sure everything is good cap wise also.

That being said I'm sure the Jets have looked at Nelson as a possible target to go after, depending on what NYI want back.......can't see it being Ehlers, more like a pick & prospect. Multi center targets out there the Jets I'm sure are looking at.

Physically Winnipeg might be closer, but I think he has more ties to Minny.

Moving Nelson for Ehlers shouldn't even be a consideration. If the Jets are trading, they're looking to add to improve. Moving Ehlers for Nelson is just re-arranging the deck chairs at best, and a net negative at worst. The Jets would be looking to add a guy like Nelson without losing anyone (of importance) from the current roster.

I don't like spending on rentals, but a 1st, an ok prospect, and another depth piece is around the traditional comp.

Understood. I was only thinking it could make sense if Nelson was willing to extend and Ehlers wasn't. Otherwise, no sense in messing with something that's working so well. Good luck!

Really like the idea of JT as a skills/ morale coach. See it in footy and rugby union but not so much elsewhere. Hendricks-type gudvet 2025!

His injury history is significant, not sure that player or teams want to see him back to fail or be reinjured.

In the meantime, and with games to spare as a PO near-lock, there may yet be some dividends in looking for a few new lineup combos that might click.

Chibby's injury sucks -- he's a real sparkplug and definitely one player I can see in the "sneaky hero" mode in a future playoffs.

That flubbed hit on him leading to the injury was an AHL Special.
