If and when Chevy trades for somebody, who does he waive?

Greenway would be okay if we could get him for a fourth round pick and he is healed and healthy.
 
He's a huge supporter of of most of his players until he's not. He is "Ville's biggest fan" but that hasn't helped him get out of the PB.

As @NA Hockey has indicated Appelton's minutes have gone down lately.
I think it's more likely due to his health. Even though he's back that doesn't mean he still isn't managing something



The idealist in me is praying for Ehlers, but the realist in me is thinking Pionk.

Why not both? 😋

I think nelson or boeser would be good fits in terms of giving your power player another lethal weapon at its disposal . I think special teams play huge role in playoffs and hockey in general.. picking up a top 6 guy even laughton at a cheap price bolsters your pp and pk a bit... someone on defense who can help on the pk be valuable asset aswell


Jesus that loop hole still exists.. wonder if oilers will abuse it with Ecancer Kane aswell
They can't fix it till the next cba

Brad Lambert has 3 goals through more than half the AHL season.

His window to being an impactful top 200 NHL forward - which is looking like a 50/50 chance at best - is probably minimum three seasons away, which is getting to the very edge of the Jets contention window.

I’m not saying give him away for scraps, but the idea we’d value him as some untouchable prospect worth more than a late first rounder is wild to me.

If he’s the key ask in a deal for someone with term or a high end rental, move him while he still has some value.
Yeah for me, the bait I'm dangling is Lambert. Still probably has decent value in the market, but he's going to be hard pressed to crack this lineup

I think Lambert's future is tied to Ehlers' future

If Nik extends, our top 6 will look pretty sillmilar for the foreseeable future

I think the Names extension might reflect the fact that the org doesn't think that Lambert is ready (or will ever be ready) for 2C duties

All thing being equal with Lowry's line intact I see no need for Laughton. Even though they wont score in bunches Arniel seems to love that line and they do what he wants for a third line so I see no spot for him.
huh? the context of the OP is if the Jets suffered an injury at 2C.

i can see why the Jets may be interested in another middle-6 C to have some injury cushion if someone went down, and Laughton would be an upgrade over most of the bottom-6 as is.

I keep coming back to the game right before the break where Lambert was a surprise addition to the lineup. The prior number of game Ford played on the fourth line and looked good doing it. He had also practiced in that same spot the day prior to game. Lambert's sudden addition seemed like something that the GM requested due to other teams wanting to see him. So that to me would indicate that they aren't opposed to moving him in the right deal.

Aside from the Namestnikov signing they have had him and JAD split center duties on the Moose since he went back down. That to me is further clouding the picture on whether they actually see him as a center at the NHL level.

In terms of Chibrikov he has the type of game where he can likely slot in on a lower line whereas Lambert I think it's top 6 or bust on this team.

lambert was pretty close to making the roster this year and is the top-6 injury call up. 3 seasons away? i dont know about that. this entire Moose team is crap, the highest scorer is brad lambert w/ 23 pts in 39 gp and everyone else is ~0.5 ppg or worse. the offensive ceiling of this team is brutal esp. compared to last season.

there is no high-end rental this year from the looks of it. lambert for nelson? no way from me. if dobson is on the table in the off-season id def. include lambert in a package for him though or a similar NHL player.

i think lambert makes the team next year in a top-9 role. appleton, iafallo and ehlers are ufa so may be openings, & namestnikov can easily move around the line-up.

Theyve got him at 3rd line RW on the moose.... pretty hard to see how thats good for his development
 
Poor John Lu didn't know i had control of the sound system when he did this interview. :naughty: :laugh:


I like what I am hearing Lu say about Chevy's comments. The fact Chevy is hammering on the fit being right narrative seems to me like he is warning the fans that he doesn't want to mess with the chemistry of a successful team.

Having such terrible results last playoffs after blowing off a draft class on rentals was a learning exigence. We traded a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, conditional 3rd, and a 4th then proceeded to get swept after the opening game. Those assets could have all be bundled as part of a larger trade for a full time second line centre instead of overpaying to patch the hole every spring.

Rentals with term only please.
