Speculation: 2024/25 Trade Rumours, Speculation etc Thread

[Jets 31]

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.

I just looked at his bio and he's listed as a 2 way center. Maybe he could center Ehlers and Perfetti. Now i looked up another and they have him as a left winger .

 

[Whileee]

Trots has already indicated that he'd treat him like he has trade protection. He'd have to want to come here for us to be able to get him.

My guess is he isn't interested in coming here with 3 years left on his deal.

He isn't even worth considering imo.

It's far-fetched, but I wonder if Chevy might be able to persuade ROR to come to the Jets and promise to trade him this summer if ROR still wants to leave. It would obviously have to be a handshake agreement, but it might be of some interest to ROR to get another run at a Cup in a hockey-mad Canadian market.

 

[DRW204]

I'm in on McCann. Brings more speed and finishing to our top 6 along with versatility at C or Wing. Unsure how much C he actual plays, however would be a clear upgrade over Perfetti or Namestnikov.

 

[Whileee]

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 Nelson would be the ideal acquisition. He does have trade protection that he would have to waive for the Jets, though.

 

[bustamente]

Count me in on McCann too, ROR isn't coming here, if he wanted a chance to win a Cup in a Canadian market he would of stayed in TO instead on bolting to Nashville.

 

[Whileee]

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.

McCann would be terrific, but why would the Kraken trade him? (He also has a NTC).

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

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.

I like Teuvo, a name I haven’t thought of. But does he really play center?

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

Stoller's not exactly an insider but :

Hmmm. That would be a great fit!

I don’t see us doing anything u til the deadline tho.

We may get an update on Rfas in Gabe and Samberg, maybe Ehlers.

I think if we don’t hear about Ehlers by end of the break he’s for sure gone.

Can see him being a panthers knows Maurice, smitty, and his sister lives there.

 

[KingBogo]

Not sure why they would trade him but there seems to be something there. He has a 10 team NTC, so maybe with our play this season he agrees to go to a strong contender.

I saw a post in the main board indicating that the Kraken were considering moving one of McCann, Bjorkstrand or Schwartz.

I think Bjorkstrand would be a really good fit for the Jets, particularly if they would consider moving Lowry to 2C with Ehlers...

Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
Ehlers-Lowry-Bjorkstrand
Nino-Namestnikov-Perfetti
Barron-Kupari-Iafallo

 

[oldunclehue]

I'd like to see the Jets go in on Trent Frederic. Guy is tough, hard to play against, young and the ideal playoff type player. Has some good skill too.

Jon Gibson an option in net? I just can't see Comrie being a safe backup if something were to ever happen to Helle.

Also....on D.....I find it hard to give up on Stanley as he is big, young and tough but seems he could be a liability in playoffs with speed etc.

Ideally:

Trent Frederic/Cody GLASS up front
Goalie to add infront of Comrie
Strong/defensive defensman to help out but who?

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

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.

Nelson and ROR are not available, at least to us.
Strome and maybe Schenn are interesting possibilities. Neither can adequately fill in for Scheifele if he is injured in the PO though.
No way Cozens makes sense as a TD acquisition, even with his contract term. That is no time to be taking on a project.

I think you were the one who brought up our chances if we lost Scheif. Please correct me if wrong. If that is your standard of need none of these can do that. Just maybe Schenn. I suspect he is past that but maybe he has enough left in the tank to take that on short term.

I think Schenn is a problem due to his age and 3 more years of his contract. He is in decline. No one can know how fast he will decline from here.

Strome is interesting. He is a legit 2C, though not an elite one. His contract would fit our timeline. There would be competition for him if he is available but he doesn't have trade protection. I might offer quite a bit to get him.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I assume he does, but I could be mistaken.

Edit: Judging by the number of FO taken it looks like not.

 

[CanMerc]

I’m team Strome preferably, or Team Nelson if a rental is targetted
Need an actual C, not a winger who can play C

Adding depth doesn’t mean a 1-1 replacement. Minimizing the impact with depth. I think all those players can do that.

I shudder thinking about names or Lowry jumping up to 1C compared to Nelson, or Strome or ROR.

As far as which players are or aren’t available to us, I’m not sure any of us know those answers.

Just to be clear - I’m not saying we need another scheifele im saying we need someone with more raw offensive talent (not stone hands) compared to Lowry or names.

I’m team Nelson or Team Strome
Need an actual C, not a winger who can play C

Agreed. Upon closer inspection McCann doesn’t really play centre.

 

[CanMerc]

Connor - Scheif - Vilardi
Ehlers - Strome - Bjorkstrand
Nino - Lowry - Perfetti
Iafallo - Names - Appleton

Looks good to me

 

[surixon]

Strome might be a good add. He'd probably be a small upgrade offensively on Namestnikov. He also has good speed from what I remember.

Not really sure on the cost for him.

Ehlers - Strome - Bjorkstrand

I doubt we can fit both those players in contract wise.

Edit: We can't. We project to have about $7.5 million of space and those two have $10.4 million worth of cap hits.

I thought we has like 12m projected for the TDL
Yup…12.5m cap space at the TDL…we can get both and have enough left for a depth D Like Dumoulin at 50%

we currently have 7.9 and a projected 12.5 million at the deadline

Crazy that we get an extra 4 million for only 7 additional games. Doesn't make much sense to me but by all means I'll take it.

But we can't afford both past this year and both have term on their deals.

One of Ehlers and Vilardi would be gone foresure.

Pretty sure it cap space is calculated daily?

Still that is less then 30 days for us to accrue 50% more in cap space.

Cap increases to 95.5m next season.
We can let Iafallo go, that’s 4m. Appleton is another 2+, and Kupari is 1…that’s 7+m right there. Yes we will need to replace those players, but Kupari is already replaced by Names. Apples can be replaced by Lambert, .887m, and Iafallo by Ford extended at .9m..leaving 5+ available before the increase cap space.
It should be doable even with upcoming extensions, if Chevy can shave a little here and a little there.
But if not, then I’d take Strome…he’s the most needed

 

[BobTheSolarsystem]

Im down for mason mctavish - nice corsi, scoring points on 3rd line, good match for our core moving forward...

Snerg and Pionk is atleast $12 million, Ehlers and Vilardi atleast $15 million.

That is a minimum 27 million needed. Not easy to fit an additional $10.4 million in on too of that to.
