Agree with this. A league-best 2C isn't necessarily netter than strong depth with a team like the Jets.

Well there’s no mark scheifeles but there are options to provide depths and additional offense if needed.
I would say Brock N, ROR, Ryan Strome, schenn all fall into that category.
You could throw cozens in that mix as well but I’m not a fan of taking that on at the deadline.
So there are options. No superstars but I don’t think we would want to pay that price even if there were.

I guess Laughton would be OK, if the price was right.
Ryan Strome looks interesting to me.
Neither qualifies as a big swing though.
What about Teuvo Teravainen? 2 more years at 5.4 mil covers the development gap till Yager. Has trade protection but might want to play for a team with a chance.
Chevy going to big swing this year. All in on the next 2-4 years (Helley/Scheif/JMO prime) and surprise us all with Robert Thomas AND Colton Parayko BOTH:
1st in 25
1st in 26
1st in 27 (all 1sts unprotected)
One of Yager/Lambert
Barlow
Heinola
Salomonsson
One of He/Walton
Mortgage the future for our Cup window. Enough high end Capital to get STL TO BITE and full rebuild with bright future. NBA/NFL style move

well anyways fwiw arthur staple who covers the islanders for the athletic said from talking from people around the league it doesn't sound like nelson is ready to commit to the islanders and thinks he will ultimately end up being traded

I think Kupari would stay in the lineup, as the RH defensive zone faceoff center. Keep Scheif in the o-zone. Maybe Appleton comes out.
I'd think long and hard about doing it, our roster would be insane. We would have to win a cup or it would not be worth it at all. We'd be headed for dark days either way but it doesn't matter if you secure the cup.
No idea how that impacts our UFAs coming up either. We'd be adding like 15mil
Connor - Scheifele - Vilardi
Perfetti - Thomas - Ehlers
Nino - Lowry - Appleton
Names - Kupari - Iafallo
Morrissey - Parayko
Samberg - Pionk
Stanley - DeMelo
Makes sense.
I sort of got the vibe that Lou was slow playing this as the C market is just so damn weak this year. There's no need to rush from his standpoint as there's a bevy of contenders who will come swirling in for Nelson and looking to outbid each other.

Need more depth as insurance because 4 rounds of hockey is a real grind. Jets don’t need players playing above their role.

Only thought I’d Chicago cannot continue to purge veterans they’ve brought in to insulate Bedard. TT would be great though.

Stoller's not exactly an insider but :

Don't know if Stoller has any connections, but that's a guy I've been mentioning. Seems like with his cap hit, it wouldn't negatively affect our other signings. And the Jets get some extra years of utility out of him which is good for us.

Like the player but not sure how another LW makes sense for the Jets?

He can play C as well if needed. So while Lowry is injured you could run him as a C, and when everyone is healthy if the ENP line is still doing good you can have him with Lowry and have Nino on the right. I think a lot like Nino, he can wear different hats. Has more points than any forward on the Jets outside the top line and Ehlers.
He just provides a lot of utility IMO at a good cap hit that's also not a rental.
I wonder what the cost would be though.
I don't think Heinola even holds onto a 2nd round pick level of value. I see him as a throw in, on a bigger deal.

That's a good one. Him and Tanev at the deadline.
I could see McCann but he might be costly to acquire. Likely a 1st and b prospect.

I like the player but if he doesnt play C it doesnt really make sense. He's scored 40 before. He's not a 3rd or 4th liner and he's not supplanting Ehlers or Connor.
Friedman seems to think Ville is moving before the deadline. Probably makes sense for him to hwt a fresh start elsewhere.
Right, but for bottom 6 forward and bottom pairing defensive depth, I think they're okay.
So now we're talking top 6 / top 4 depth? Aside from Scheifele, I think there's depth to replace everyone in the Top 6.
Laughton probably makes sense as a guy who can play up and down the lineup - like having another Iafallo except he's also a center. But at what cost?
Love the contract though, got another 2 seasons at 5mil aav. I'd have no problem paying that to add a 30/30 guy like that to the top 9
I wouldn't have an issue either. Move Appelton down to line 4 and go with three lines that can score.
Anyone know how good his d game is? Would he fit with Lowry in that regard?
McCann would be a good add. Middle 6 winger that produces well, likely hitting 60+ points again this season. Allows you to play something like McCann-Lowry-Ehlers as your 2nd line.
