Rumor: All Purpose Trade Proposals, Speculation and Rumours - 2023/24

[Daximus]

Sure, now that FA is here.
There are often trades before the draft.
You can turn that around and say that teams want to acquire key players before FA Frenzy so they know what they are shopping for.

By mid July everyone's core roster is set. The only trades then are for depth that they didn't get in FA. The FA disappointed by the offers they got are shopping for whatever they can get. After FA, everyone has spent their cap. That goes double for the contenders who had less cap space to begin with. They cleared space for FA and now they are done.

Helle wants a contender. Not much chance of that 2-3 weeks from now. It is even extra difficult to move contracts to open space for him. I assume Scheif is in the same boat. He won't want to go to a rebuilding team either.

Edit: Going back to NJD. They have 5.6 in cap space with 19 on the roster. Fill the 4 spots with 1mil players and they are down to 1.6 cap space. So any deal is going to have to have a lot of cap coming back.

Not Schmid, but Vanacek. Not Holtz, but Toffoli. That is not altogether bad for Jets. He is the better player. But he is only signed for 1 more year. Then add Marino. That's all we get.

It solves NJD cap issues with enough to sign Helle. Helle replaces Vanacek. Holtz steps in for Toffoli. Nemec replaces Marino. So it makes sense for NJ. It isn't much for us though. Vanacek is Pavlecian. Toffoli is gone in a year. We get Marino for 2RHD. Then we need to make room for him.

Maybe we get Holtz instead of Toffoli. The cap might still work. It would be tight for them but that is a better return for us. Though from what I read NJ fans are disappointed in Holtz and would be glad to get something for him.

In think their contract demands are likely also a factor. Teams are gonna look for cheaper options before circling back.

NJ isn't trading for, and signing, Toffoli just to move him.

TSN just did a 10-15 minute feature on the Jets. When was the last time that has happened?

We don't even get that much airtime when they're showing a Jets game!

Fair enough. As long as teams retain at least enough cap so that a deal is possible if we take back cap in the return.

I added a longish edit to the post you quoted about NJD and Helle.

I wonder how many higher end UFAs are pricing themselves out of the market. There hasn't been a (credible) peep that I've seen about Klingberg, Compher, Dumba, or Tarasenko.

Kind of looking like guys like Gurianov and Puljujarvi are destined for professional tryouts too.

I didn't even realize Dumba is a UFA.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Looking at the blah crop of UFA goalies this year, I'd say a Helle trade is still very much a possiblity

Helle is only a couple million more than VV so NJD could absolutely afford that

Yes, I just posted a potential NJD trade that didn't look great for us - but I was forgetting that Helle's new contract won't kick in for a year. That makes the cap issues a lot easier to work around.

Right? There's no rumours or anything

 

[jetsforever]

Same, can we sign him and trade Dillon or something?

 

[JetsFan815]

Same, can we sign him and trade Dillon or something?

I haven't looked at his numbers lately but that'd be worth exploring.

You spelled Pionk wrong...

Wheeler is a good dude. He obviously chose NYC. He likely had options. Heard travel was a thing, wanted less. I wish him well. He's the longest tenured winnipeg jet likely of all time, who else spent 12 years here? Dude deserves the 2nd statue outside TN Square

Like and agree , except the statue
