Speculation: 2024/25 Trade Rumours, Speculation etc Thread

If Dobson was willing to sign for 8.5, I'd imagine his name would not be out there.

Just RD alone:

Doughty (12.5%)
Fox (10.8%)
McAvoy (10.8%)
Jones (10.8%)

With the cap going up to 113.5 in 3 years, his next contract is likely going to start at 10+.

Wow I still haven't internalized what contracts mean in the new cap world.

Players salaries are gonna be insane. I am gonna be rooting for a lockout at the next CBA negotiations to get rid of NTC/NMC once it for all. If even average players are going to be making 4-5 million they shouldn't be having trade protection.
 
I anticipate Dobson being an offseason deal, if traded

Thoughts on 1st+ for McCann at TDL.
Perfetti+ for Dobson off season

Lambert at 2C (I'm still ok with Names on a 1-2 year deal too)

I don't think it's likely either, but there is an outside chance depending on whomever else might be interested if he thinks the Jets have the best chance to win. Slightly difference situations, but similar to Stastny.

Ya i agree, the players are making really good money and are going to be making even more. It's not like they have to live in Winnipeg for 12 months, they all make enough money to have 2 houses.
 
I was scouring the Predators roster during the game last night like a vulture on behalf of the Jets and I couldn’t stop myself from fantasizing about an ROR acquisition. Would probably never happen but what an addition he’d be.
I would like this too, he is so good at faceoffs , that would be a really nice extra tool in the toolbox for the playoffs .

Yes to Dobson
No to McCann

Treed???

I’m a Lambert fan, so I’m good with that

I’ll make you a deal…if Chevy can get us ROR or Dobson…I’ll change the #FireChevy

I don't think Dobson makes it to the offseason.

Sounds like a fallout there.

Perfetti is going to be back next year. He's still got a big contract year ahead of him.

I don't mind the idea of Ryan Donato at the deadline. Jets like prodigies. 17 ES goals, I saw his first one in the home opener, pretty good shot from the top of the circles, clean on Helly.

No trade protection there.
 
nobody of note has actually said dobson is available, the only insider who has mentioned dobson was friedman who said he called around and nobody told him they were shopping him and then speculated that he could have been offered to one team in a deal for a high end forward

IF we aquire Dobson, are we also re-signing Pionk? Or is he walking?

I'd rather have Pionk, Perfetti and the + involved to get Dobson than Dobson himself

I think Perfetti + isn't worth the upgrade that Dobson is on Pionk

Especially if Ehlers isn't re-signing. Your top 6 would be looking very, very thin

NHL Rumors: Per – Murat Ates – nytimes.com (The Athletic). The Jets have their eye on forward Brock Boeser.

The Jets considered selecting Boeser in the 2015 draft with the 17th selection but chose Kyle Connor instead.

I was going to go down that route as well, the idea that it would be the cost to acquire plus not re-signing Pionk over Dobson himself but it didn't seem like people would want to have to think about it amid the Dobson hype.

But agree with you, would rather have Perfetti, Pionk, plus whatever instead of just Dobson.

Like his offense, but have concerns about his skating, pace, and defensive play.

Donato for the right price seems like a sneaky good pickup for almost any team.

They'd want Connor over Cole anyhow. He is rumored out there for Petterson which should tell everyone the caliber player they'd be looking for.

So it would look even worse for us, Connor and Pionk for Dobson.

is this new or just click baiting from an article that murat wrote 2 weeks ago?

Not sure why anyone would want EP40, dude is looking like an 11.6m liability right now.

f***ing dreamland on Connor + (shit even Conor alone is dream land imo)

It's not dreamland. Star 1 RD for star scoring winger. Each have 1 year of control left. It's exactly what they'd be looking for and had been a team need for them for a while. They aren't giving up their top trade chip for less, it's what Lou has said it would take to get him.

I wouldn't do it but people throwing Perfetti or young player x plus for him aren't paying attention to what Lou's ask is.

I have no doubt they would ask but for me personally I wouldn't even do KFC 1 for 1, losing our star winger who is on pace for 45-50 goals and 100 points for Dobson, I mean the guy is good don't get me wrong but KFC cannot be replaced.

Of course not and with us already having JoMo Dobson is less of a need. It is why we aren't a good fit for them in a trade. But there will be plenty of teams lining up to get a good number 1 RD and will pay to get it. I could see Florida/Tampa very interested and both have forwards they could part with for it.

*Maybe* if you knew for 100% certain that Connor wasn't going to re-sign after next season and Dobson would sign an 8 year deal with us and Ehlers also extended long term
 
Boeser was really good in the playoffs last season. He played a tough cycle game and produced well with some really clutch contributions. I wouldn’t mind adding him for a reasonable price
That, and reports are that he is a great guy too. That definitely fits the culture mold of this team

Sign Dobson long term and we can let Pionk walk next year..

The problem with getting a winger like Boeser is that it will be at the cost of demoting Perfetti to the 4th line, or even to the press box. So how much increase in value does Boeser add over Perfetti? I'm not sure it would be worth the price.

One option might be if the Jets decide to move Ehlers to get some more trade assets and the Jets think they can re-sign Boeser. Could maybe add a 2C and Boeser, with Ehlers out?

Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
Perfetti-Nelson-Boeser
Nino-Lowry-Appleton

Would be risky to gamble on this big a change to a team that's humming, including the PP.

What happened to Boeser, he used to play like a younger more in shape Phil Kessel..you know, without all the hotdogs

For me, switch Lambert with Perfetti…but I’m a Lambert fan and if we re-sign Ehlers, moving Perfetti is acceptable.
