Speculation: 2024/25 Trade Rumours, Speculation etc Thread

[Huffer]

The guy put up 70 points last year. I'd say there has to potential there, maybe a case where coach and player aren't on the same page this year.

I'd be surprised if Arniel broke from De Melo on top pairing and Chevy went heavy on another d man, but it is worth the time to say the Jets best season came from a strength at RD that hasn't been matched. One more contract year is probably the timeline for Salomonsson to be ready.

My point is that he put up 70 points last season and that is going to inflate his upcoming contract demands. The assets we'd lose to get him would be young, and on ELC's most likely, and then we'd have to sign him to something probably around 9 or 10 million (who knows with the rising cap). His overall game doesn't support that in my viewings and from overwhelming comments from Isles fans. There would be a large impact to the cap and how it affects the rest of the team signings.

That to me doesn't make us a better team. Maybe he becomes a much better 2 way guy and it works out great, but that's the reason why a fanbase (and apparently Mgmt) are skeptical on giving him a huge deal.

Possibly getting another RHD to add to that position is a different topic however and one I agree is important, especially since we don't know what will play out with Pionk.

Maybe I'm on an island here, but value, value, value should be the name of the game here. Not saying he was ever really available, but that's why I was fully on the Weegar bus vs Anderson. He's already signed long term which going forward now is going to be stupid value.

For some reason I don't think many Canucks fans want to re sign Boeser, I think the jets should try to get him. He's another Minnesota boy, went to university of North Dakota and loved it. Watching old videos of him right now his family wanted the Jets to draft him originally. Humble down to earth prairie boy who is more of a pure goal scorer. If he doesn't go to us he will likely go to MN in the off season. I would be so happy to see him in a Jets jersey even just as a rental

But can we trust a guy who insists we pronounce Boh-sir as Bes-sir?

[Mortimer Snerd]

It’s definitely not easy.

I know it won’t happen because TSNE have bought property downtown, but if Canada Life Ctr were in a different location (say where the football stadium is just for example), it would be much better IMO and I bet we’d shave 15% points off our no trade list placement.

I don't know that I would ever go to a game if the arena was there. Not saying I wouldn't but it would be a very different calculation for me.

Might be like Sens in Kanata.

 

[10Ducky10]

Wasn't Stastny the captain of Blues when he was traded?

For some reason I see Schenn going to Vegas. Mc Crimmon has the market on Wheat Kings.

He'd be a good player for a legit run, if he's still got something in the tank.

Let him go to Vegas.
He has 3 more years at 6.5m and turns 34 this summer.
He has been dropping off the last few years and will probably continue as he ages.

I wouldn't mind boeser. As for extending him, I'm not sure. But I think that second line needs a more reliable player to put the puck in the net over namestnikov or perfetti.

 

[KingBogo]

There was a huge debate as to that pick... he was not the 'right choice' - it was a complete tossup between him, Lundell, Jarvis and Schneider. I wanted Lundell and think he would have been better for this team in the long run... I would be pleasantly surprised for Perfetti to prove me wrong for the next 30 games though

If we were not ever intending on playing Perfetti at C, then he was definitely the wrong choice.

Right choice for the Jets was probably Schneider. But I think Lundell would have flourished with Ehlers...

I think the original intent was to play Perfetti as a center. Chevy has even talked about drafting him as a center. Problem is none of his coaches has liked him there. To paraphrase Arniel from an interview in and around training camp is that he liked Perfetti at wing as he can be further up the play on the attack rather than supporting the play from behind. I took it mostly as a speed issue.

I was on the Lundell bandwagon that draft. He already possessed a strong defensive game and he probably would have flourished alongside Ehlers.

 

[gojetsgo]

on insider trading lebrun said the jets stars wild and leafs all have interest in nelson if he becomes available

 

[KingBogo]

I was thinking about that as well. Not sure if Samberg has 1 more UFA year or 2. He's only had 4 seasons, but he also turns 27 next year. So it looks like he's be a UFA based on his age as opposed to seasons. The question is does it mean that 2025/2026 is a RFA year, but 2026/2027 is a UFA year because he turns 27 in January of that year?

But that will be a factor for sure.

Samberg is still a RFA after this season, but only for 1 more year. He is scheduled to be a UFA starting the 26-27 season. Chevy needs to lock him up long term.

The highest scoring team doesn't need another goal scorer winger.
Boeser get 30% of his goals and points on the PPs .
You want to removed a player from the #1 PP unit in the league to add Boeser?
Jets need is a power forward/center and a power RHD defenceman no big stars just average with playoff experience plus no baggage ... dressing culture is important. I'm pretty sure the Jets scouts and Chevy have their eyes on those players already.

No I wouldn't remove a player from pp1. I probably do have him on pp2.

At 5v5 boeser is a superior producer than both those players. I think the Jets are familiar with boeser and his family as it was heavily rumored he would have been their draft selection.

Maybe he's a culture vulture if so then no dice. I've only heard good things about him but maybe you have different intel.

At 5v5 Namesnikov and perfetti are prone to big goal droughts, and limited shots or chances generated. If the whistles are put away their production may be non existent. Boeser is a more reliable scorer than either of those two.

 

[kylbaz]

McDavid and Draistl are pretty good ambassadors.

Question about the survey..."No good food"? Winnipeg has always had a great food scene. Is there nothing near the arena anymore? Is that the issue.

Im guessing that's the issue. Places like Toronto you have 30 restaurants within five min walk.

If the idea was for him to be a C then he has failed so far. He's a fine complimentary winger, not really a line driver or finisher. Not saying he can't improve and be that in the future.

But the gm's transactions tell you enough.... Since he was drafted: traded for PLD, Namestnikov, Monahan to all played 2c over him. this year in addition to namestnikov: Lambert, Vilardi and Lowry have all spent time at 2c too. I've been saying since he was drafted that I think there's a chance he will be a winger but homers like surixon can't accept that as a possibility it seems.

I don't see Ehlers getting offered more what Scheifele and Hellebuyck are getting @ 8.5M per year.

Connor, that's a different story.

Yup for sure. Ehlers at 7.5 Connor at 9.5 let's goo

Think you're low on KC but I think that's a reasonable estimate for Ehlers.

Ya that would be a discount for sure, but ya never know! Helle left a couple million a year on the table

 

[SM]

No thank you on Boeser, streaky scorer.

Agreed on numbers suggested above and not offering Ehlers more than 8.5. Given the increasing cap, he’d be stupid to stay and will get offered an obscene amount by a bottom feeder team.

I’ve heard the org regrets Perfetti pick. Could absolutely see them moving him as part of a deal for a similarly aged dman like Dobson. Make it a big ol’ deal with Nelson too, maybe?

I'd rather have Pelech.
Dobson is going to want crazy money and isn't as good if you ask me.

Salary Cap situation is completely different from when those guys signed their deals though. One can make a case for Ehlers at 9 million, I have said in the past that Fiala is a good comparable for him and I'd look to model his next contract after the Fiala deal. Based on Fiala's cap %, 9.1 million is reasonable.

I think TNSE are more concerned with perceived optics than logic…

For what it’s worth, I fully agree with you. Unfortunately I’m convinced the team doesn’t.

 

[Gm0ney]

Ehlers signed his current $6M AAV deal when the cap was $75M (so 8%).

8% of $95.5M is $7.64M, so $7.5M is a relative pay cut.

$8M is a very small raise.

$8.6M is 9%. $9M is 9.5%. Something in there if he's looking for a reasonable raise.

Probably gets more than that on the open market. Whatever big players miss on Marner and Rantanen...

Can't see the Jets giving him the same/ more than Scheifele.
