2024/25 Trade Rumours, Speculation etc Thread

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Exactly. Thank you!


Yes we missed out on him because we wanted him and didn’t get him. That’s a weird thing to argue about. If chevy was comfortable with Names at 2C I wonder what position he wanted Nelson to play?
You can't miss out on something you had no chance of getting

Go to a bar in LA filled with supermodels... I'm pretty sure you won't be saying you "missed out" on picking one up when they all turn you down
 
Oh, so they utilized their LHD top end skill and depth to optimize pairings and cover for their RHD deficiencies?

Heiskanen is a freak of nature. One of the best defenders in the league when healthy. Harley is also coming into his own as an elite dman. Lindell is a safety blanket type of partner. I gave that left side their deserved flowers.

Anyways, my entire point was based on what's at their disposal.  If the Jets had a RHD depth chart of Lyu, Ceci and Dumba, there would be fans pissed off if nothing was addressed heading into a Cup run.

I'm not sure what's outlandish about that.
Maybe Im misinterpreting but you were using Dallas as an example of crappy RHD depth... except without their injuries they are not.

We have crappy RHD and LHD depth with zero injuries...

The teams we have to compete with to get to the cup finals have very solid D-cores - ie third pairing is not an afterthought.

Toews-Makar
Girard-Manson
Malinski-Lindgren
Johnson

Middleton-Faber
Chisholm-Spurgeon
Bogo-Merrill
Jiricek/Brodin

Vegas and Edmonton depend on Theodore and Ekhom getting healthy... then they are deeper than us as well.
 
I agree that waiting until the deadline to overpay for whatever is available isn’t a great option. It’s also indicative of a team that wasn’t good defensively. I’m not sure we’ve solved that issue either.

It’s easy for people who bristle at any criticism to point out the team is doing very well. But it’s also a fact that Names is not a 2C on any other team. Missing out on Nelson and pretending we never needed him anyway is silly.
k

Not good defensively? The Jets are in first in the league and have given up the least amount of goals in the entire NHL. Every other team wishes they had their defensive problems.
 
You drive uber…don’t you
