A defenseman of his age and skill level. A 1-for-1 swap for Despres was liked by both Jets and Ducks fans a while back.

Yeah I proposed that awhile back and would still be very quite content with that deal from an Anaheim perspective.

 

[untouchable21]

I like Despres, but I worry about his concussion history. He missed a large chunk of time with a concussion.

 

[missionAvs]

Have always loved the way Lowry plays the game. Would love to have him on the Avs but have no idea who the Jet's would be looking at from our squad. Besides inter-division trades are sort of a no go I guess.

 

[Lorenzo1000]

I very much doubt Lowry is available.

I honestly don't know who we'd want from the Avs either, but in a general sense, I don't think prying Lowry from the Jets would be too costly with all the young forwards fighting for a spot on our roster. He's almost guaranteed to be exposed in the expansion draft, too. I think the club still sees some strong upside to him, but with Laine, Little, Scheifele, Wheeler, Ehlers and Connor as our top 6 and then Perreault, Stafford, Petan, Dano, Armia, Thorburn, Matthias, Copp, Burmistrov and Lemieux fighting for bottom 6 roles and other guys like Roslovic and Foley potentially making the jump to pro in '17-18, losing a forward isn't exactly painful.

I see Lowry as a 4th or maybe 3rd line player. We'd want the equivalent in defense so a 5 or 6 D

 

[Paradise*]

Lowery fits the Jets identity to a T.

 

[rockinghockey]

He is a fourth line player not much value

I wish we had that problem....

You know he is hard to play against when hard to play against players complain about playing against him.

I remember Ferland talking about him (they are good friends apparently), but says it is always hard to play against Lowry. If the Jets don't protect him, I do think he will get picked off in the expansion draft (unless a better player is made available, and I don't know enough about Winnipeg to know that).

I find Lowry very noticeable every time the Flames play the Jets, or when I catch a Jets game. Usually stands out at points during a game.

Lowry, Petan, Staf and 2017 1st rounder for RNH.

Don't think Lowry gets you Depres if he didn't get that concussion. Young top 4 D men aren't usually available for bottom 6 forwards

 

[StrompTroller]

I'd overpay for Lowry as a sabres fan.

 

[Paradise*]

I'd overpay for Lowry as a sabres fan.

Jake McCabe?

 

[McNurse]

I'd overpay for Lowry as a sabres fan.

I'd overpay for him as an Oilers fan, the peg needs left handed D and we got a lot, unfortunately I wouldn't give up a huge asset for him, maybe Reinhart I would be okay with

Not many young lhd I would say no to for Lowry, but Reinhart is #1 on that list.

Cute

No worries, he is famous for odd trade offers .

 

[StrompTroller]

Jake McCabe?

I'm a huge McCabe fan but if Guhle made the team out of camp I'd probably pull the trigger before the season started. That being said with the expansion draft looming the thought of protecting McCabe vs protecting a 4th liner like Lowry might make me balk. Safe to say the value is there. In the end being a smart GM I'd decline without an expansion draft I'd porbably accept.

 

[member 88115]

I would do McNabb + Pearson + King for Lowry + Myers + 2nd

 

[Whileee]

I think Lowry is highly valued by the Jets. I'd look beyond his stats last season for a full assessment.

 

[PetterssonSimp]

Lowry is the type of bottom 6 player Id over pay for, he's huge! He's defensively responsible and he's not that bad of an offensive creator. IMHO if you were a team loaded with defence and needed someone who could be a part of a young core but more of a glue guy/heart and soul type to bring the other half rather than the scoring.
He reminds me of a young Manny Malhotra but with old Manny's poise and shutdown ability. He may play 4C this year but with the right coaching and opportunity he could be a 15/15 regular 1PK 3C guy who can just use size and strength to regularly hit 60% faceoff's

Of course you would. We wouldn't.
