Sooner or later De Melo is going to be too slow for top pairing. Salomonsson should get to top 4. Samberg and Pionk don't just work because of Samberg. Pionk is the guy who moves the puck. So there's that dynamic.Whats the consensus in here on Dobson? I don't think he would be a good partner for Morrissey (both are offensively minded, Dobson is weaker defensively) and i'd be hesitant to split up Samberg-Pionk.
I think the Jets organizationally would have a difficult time going outside the org for a defenseman who could be their highest paid.
But I think Dobson's shot would be an asset. Especially with with J Mo out there breaking ankles.
The Jets could avoid the long term dilemma by just playing him in the playoffs and then qualifying Dobson on his last year. Which you know any player is motivated for their next contract=results.
That's a better move than making back to back deadline moves.
I still think this one goes to offseason, just because there's at least 20 teams still battling for playoff spots, and many have already given up assets.
The best deals might come from non playoff teams who have lower draft picks. Bushnevich for Dobson would seem like a Lou trade tbh.
