2024/25 Trade Rumours, Speculation etc Thread

Chevy doesnt trade unless his hand is forced...

Im hoping for
Csv
Barron-perfetti-ehlers
Chib-lowry-iafallo
Nino-names-lambert

Jomo-dd
Samberg-pionk
Fleury-schenn

Helle-bross

Give salo a run with jomo
Give perfetti 40 games at C
Lambert a season to learn 200'

Personally id take a flyer on Ryan Donato as a ufa
Provorov would be a good signing

Rash is going to make the team.

Pretty much my thoughts although I think Chevy brings in a second line winger for Cole and Fly in FA and Barron graduates to wing on Lowry's line.

Ehlers Perfetti xxx
Iafallo Lowry Barron
Nino Namestnikov Chibs/Lambert

Defense is the same as yours

Rash is going to make the team.

He'll have to beat out Lambert and Chibrikov. My guess is if he signs there will be a competition for one or two roster spots.

He might start on the Moose but he will be on the big team by the playoffs.

 

[Buffdog]

I'm going to wait for the post season media where everyone's ongoing injury status is revealed before deciding who to keep and who to move on from

Guys like Appleton and Vilardi didn't seem like themselves in the playoffs... if they were both playing with a substantial injury, then I'd factor that in

If Schenn's family is happily in Nashville, maybe deal him back there for a 7th or something

I can't see Washington giving up Strome.

No one has really talked much about KC but he was absolutely awful again this year in the playoffs. Yes he can put the puck in the net but i am not sure if it is enough to make up for the rest of his game. Teams that win in the playoffs have their top players step up and play out of their comfort zones. KC was playing scared really struggling to make simple plays losing way too many battles or just avoiding them all together.
We need to compliment our line up better. Scheif and Connor need some grit and speed on the wing especially for the playoffs. We need to start building a playoff team. Guys I would consider moving to find the right pieces.

-Valardi
-Neiderreiter
-Heinola
-Schenn

-Appleton has to go

From a value stand point you have to sign Ehlers I am ok with moving on from him but not for nothing.

connor had 3 points in all 4 of our wins against the blues including 2 GWG, he led the team with 17 points in 13 games and that's with the powerplay not producing, so say he was absolutely awful is just plain wrong

This is sort of true, if you only think of KC as only being a goalscorer, which too many people in Winnipeg typecast him for being. Since his passing gets very little attention on HFBoards, even ignored by some, then yes, 5 points in 13 games is another letdown.

If you are counting assists though, your point is moot. He wasn't awful in last year's playoffs.

 

[surixon]

KC is what he is a one dimensional point producing winger. Most every contending team has one or two such types of players. KC more then did his job for us.

 

[SM]

Feel a bit the same on KC. I know the team would never do it, but if you re-sign Ehlers and flip Connor for some top assets you might be able to keep this dream alive for a few more years... letting Ehlers walk for nothing seems like the wrong move long-term, even if it might result in us scoring fewer goals throughout the season.

After that, can we find someone to push DeMelo down to the third pairing too? Andersson?

Think this is the same thing we've been saying for years.... 2c and RHD is a big need. Wish that we'd give Vilardi and/or Perfetti a real chance this fall to take the reins at 2c.

 

[Buffdog]

I can't see Washington giving up Strome.

Wrong Strome, I'm assuming

 

[FlyerNutter]

It all depends on the player of course, but I’d have strong interest in the offer sheet route.

A guy like McTavish in Anaheim would be worth the compensation given up imo.

The Jets need to be willing to gamble the future a bit the next few years, contention windows aren’t on forever. A move like that may also help ensure Connor, Vilardi, and Ehlers stay on board.

 

[surixon]

The other Strome is on Anaheim.

Shoot if it wasn’t for Otter he could have had 3-5 more goals. Bad play or not, he still produces and that what you need sometimes.

 

[Buffdog]

The other Strome is on Anaheim.

He'd be the more available of the two, which is why I guessed it was him. By the looks of it, he doesn't have any trade protection

That said, the OP's proposed line up doesn't reflect what we'd have to give up to get him in a trade. Maybe something involving Lambo or Chibs?

 

[gojetsgo]

we need to find more scoring from our middle six, they go cold and all teams have to do is focus on connor/scheifele which is why we didn't score much on the road

 

[DRW204]

Seriously, trade KC? he had probably his best 2-way year. the Jets need to be adding to KC and Ehlers.

really, they need a few upgrades in their middle-6. said it at the TDL too while people were creaming their pants over Tanev, i really didn't see how it improved the area that showed a bit of weakness on this team.

the offense looked v good as a totality. it was fueled by a crazy good PP, which they definitely deserve props for. however, many around here were posting about the PP's sustainability & questions about how it would fare during the POs vs the same team over and over, or ultimately if the whistles are put away or calls were not going their way. that's why a bit more onus was considered at 5v5.

MoneyPuck benchmarked ~1.5 pts/60 as 50th percentile, ~2 pts/60 as 75th percentile in scoring.

5/6 Jets middle-6ers highlighted are at that 50th percentile or below. the Stars had 8 Fwds in the higher tier, essentially an entire top-9 for the regular+POs average combined. i think the Jets could benefit from an improvement in productivity or just flat-out superior offensive options. and include another addition if Ehlers is gone.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Just a reminder that the Jets were 3rd in the NHL in scoring this year.

May have been, but while he had some moments Namestnikov is not a viable 2C for a cup run.

That needs to be addressed one way or another. DeMelowould be a nice spot to upgrade, but not sure they can be done with who is available.

Bennet would also be a lovely addition but don’t think he would choose Winnipeg.

Either way, Chevy must find a way to add. Cannot lose talent, and expect a step forward.

Yup, but he's just another older player on the downslope. Nit too interested in getting even older as a team.

My thought with any kind of KC trade is that he's not a driver. Scheifele has always been the straw that stirs the top-line drink, and has had success with multiple other partners. Bottom-six feels like only Lowry is a catalyst. Ehlers can sometimes be that with his transition game, Vilardi was that for parts of this year too, but neither were consistent. Connor doesn't play that role, so given his status as a superstore scorer you get pieces that are greater than the sum of their parts?

I'll say, I don't know have a clue who we would target. But it was clear in the playoffs that line-matching was a struggle for us.

a team absent of finishers gets bounced from the playoffs even sooner. if the Jets have a couple finishers last night we're talking about game 7. also, the Jets outshot the Stars by 35 SOGs that series or ~6/gp.

Yes, Scheifele is probably the straw that stirs the drink, he still can't do it all by himself. finishing matters a lot in this league. Connor is more of an offensive driver with his speed, puck carrying and producing opportunities compared to Vilardi.

sorry, are you saying Lowry is more of a catalyst than KC? catalyst at what, offense?

I would rather not see another situation with KFC like we had with Nik this season, Chevy needs to give him what he wants within reason to extend him before the season starts. If Nik leaves and KFC leaves the year after with no return for either this team with this core closes.

Agreed. You either sign or trade KC this summer
