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

[Buffdog]

Henrique and schmaltz both have 10 team no-trare lists. Maybe henrique waives to chase a cup for 3 months but I doubt schmaltz wants to move from Arizona to Winnipeg for 3 seasons

I bet more bubble teams will try to take advantage of the market and somebody becomes available that nobody expected

I had him as one of chevys surprise moves but didn't think the flyers would even think of moving him - he's up there with jenner

 

[MardyBum]

Laughton has been terrible this year. Impressively so

 

[Heldig]

Put me in the Schmaltz camp. He'd be an excellent 2C here.

Schmaltz almost never plays C. He is a RW that feasts on chemistry with Keller.

Does anyone else think the Jets were scouting Frost earlier in the year but the ask was too high?

 

[Cypruss]

My Guesses for acquired players at the deadline:

RD - Artem Zub (28) from Ottawa (3 more years at $4.8m per year)
C - Brock Nelson (32) from Islanders (1 more year at $6m)

Not going to speculate on the cost.

Kudos to all you brave souls battling it out on the main board in the Monahan thread.

Checked the thread. Saw discussions of Rutger and Perreault from NYR in packages and couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Delusion is a word that comes to mind.

No. It was Konecny

As what a 4c? That's a big indictment on gustafsson and kuparis level of play.

Buffalo would probably move Skinner and retain some salary for the right prospect. He does have a NMC. Not sure he fits with us as a left wing but he sure would add scoring depth, pp scoring.

I like Henrique as a 2C add, but I know Chevy is big on culture fit first so it's hard to say what conversations are happening and who they like.

If we're healthy, we are solid. That's a big if though.

So who is skinner bumping out of your top 6 wings? I don't see him as a fit on Lowry’s line and probably isn't a 4th liner here.

Would Alex Tuch be a fit and would he be realist possibility to acquire? Big bodied, right hand shot RW.

 

[RabidOne]

I don't know. Kuzmenko is coming off a 70+ point season. Granted I don't think he is a 70+ point guy but its like he is a 40 to 50 winger going forward. Not sure if we have the equivalent player to give up in a deal.

He shot 27% last year. 50 points is probably the best you can expect of him.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Wonder if the Jets could pry Jiricek out of CBus. There is a history of trades between the teams and GMs. I think they would be crazy to move him but he isn't happy and might be demanding a move but he signed a contract already.

Gonna cost McGroarty.

I think I would give up anyone but him for the guy but I bet they would want him

The price would be high but you make it clear at the start that McG is off the table. We could offer a quantity of quality pieces. With NHL + AHL + other prospects they are already strong at D, including the right side so they don't need to get a RHD in return.

Not saying we should. 2C is the greater need. But we could certainly make it worth their while if we chose to pay the price.

What about a package for Jenner and one of their less hyped RHD?

 

[bustamente]

Habs fans are delusional, you would think they would of learned their lessons last year. They aren't getting Barlow or McG or Lambert or Salomonsson, doesn't matter I don't think Chevy has any interest in Monahan

 

[Huffer]

My Guesses for acquired players at the deadline:

RD - Artem Zub (28) from Ottawa (3 more years at $4.8m per year)
C - Brock Nelson (32) from Islanders (1 more year at $6m)

Not going to speculate on the cost.

Honestly, those would be 2 perfect additions. Zub would be our best RHD and the contract is great. Nelson would be a great 2C, has a great contract, and has enough term for the Jets to have time to see if a player like Lambert can be a 2C by 2025.

I really can't see the Sens thinking of moving Zub though. They've had a bad year, but I'm not seeing them blowing it up, and he's a guy they can use for 3 more years. In a post awhile ago, I floated the idea of a Norris and Zub package. Totally unrealistic IMO that the Sens would be interested, it would take a lot of assets to trade, and it would take major roster moves both at the TD and offseason, but that would address the 2C need for the long term.

Nelson I'm not sure of either, but depending on the next few weeks I could see him more available than Zub. Hard to say what the Islanders want to do though.

 

[KingBogo]

It’s okay to dream though!

I’m worried it’s going to be a disappointing March 9th.

I foresee a few depth pieces. I’m not sure we will land Henrique. We had a really good shot at Lindholm if Colorado and Boston were out two main competitors. Vancouver had assets to push it to a price that was likely too much for us.

The competition for Henrique and monahan will be fierce with the rangers now jumping in. I don’t think monahan will be worth whatever the price ends up being.

Need a Chevy miracle - fingers crossed.

I'm less worried March 9 if Chevy stands pat, rather than chase the market and over pay for a marginal player with one of our top prospects. Doing nothing isn't close to the worst outcome on TDL day. Luckily other than for Hayes back in 2019, Chevy has played the TDL well, especially last year.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

At face value, Jiricek has higher value than McGroarty, but McGroarty seems likely to be a real enhancement to the team culture, whereas the Jets don't tend to do well with "restless" young players. If the Jets didn't have Salomonsson in their prospect pool, the need might be greater for the Jets.

I was imagining a package that included Salo, to replace Jiricek for them. I decided not to post it. I don't think he would likely be worth the cost.

 

[KingBogo]

Habs fans are delusional, you would think they would of learned their lessons last year. They aren't getting Barlow or McG or Lambert or Salomonsson, doesn't matter I don't think Chevy has any interest in Monahan

I can't see any value in engaging Habs fans in a discussion for any of their players. I've never seen any group of fans over rate their shitty ass players more.

Skinner would be second line LW. He's a sniper when healthy. We need a C more urgently, but I actually think Perfetti is that guy, if given the chance.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Agree with this strongly, and I think the Jets should try to make a deal with Buffalo for Mittelstadt. He's about 24 years old, and only making around $ 3mil, and is a RFA, who very likely they could resign long term. He would fit in well with the other young guys on the team like Ehlers and Connor etc. Good size as well, at 6'1 and about 190 lbs. Mittelstadt is pacing very close to a 70 point season this year.

He's a center who can score and is a great playmaker. I think he has around 31 points ( or more) this year, (in 42 games) and every year he's getting better. It would cost someone like McGroarty or Lambert, and a 1st round pick, and maybe more. McGroarty is "not proven" but Mittelstadt is, and would give us so much more depth. McGroarty could turn out to be a real star, but could also fizzle out, and disappoint. If I were Chevy, I'd throw a struggling team like Buffalo, a couple real juicy bones to acquire Mittelstadt. What the hell, throw in Appleton as well.

I would agree with making a strong offer for Mittelstadt. But McG is untouchable IMO.

Mitts is only under team control for 1 more year after this one. Wouldn't want to go overboard.

 

[KingBogo]

the kuzmenko part of the trade is hard to gauge the value because he had such a good season last year and hasn't worked under tocchet this year, if he can regain his past form then calgary got a good asset they can move at next years deadline

The Jets don't really have a similar forward with that type of upside for a team. We aren't moving a top 6 player or Lowry or Nino and the rest have considerably less value.

 

[KingBogo]

Skinner would be second line LW. He's a sniper when healthy. We need a C more urgently, but I actually think Perfetti is that guy, if given the chance.

Buffalo would have to retain a lot for Chevy to have even a passing interest in Skinner. The guy can still put the puck in the net but his $9 M salary for this year and 3 more would royally screw Chevy's internal salary structure and force a whole bunch of undesirable roster decisions down the line.

 

[Fire Chevy]

I would agree with making a strong offer for Mittelstadt. But McG is untouchable IMO.

If there was an extension in place and they wanted McG would you do it?

 

[RabidOne]

Not sure why people are calling Kuzmenko a low value return? The guy isn't 28 y/o until later this month and is coming off a 39 G 35 A 74 P season. The Jets sure could use a "low value" player like that for our top 6 who can push 40 goals with a decent cap hit. Much better roster player than is usually part of these type of rental deals. And Bruzustewicz is a hell of a nice prospect to pick up. A 19 y/o RHD who is leading the OHL in defenseman scoring with 69 points in 47 games. I'm guessing most GMs would prefer him over Solamonnson in a trade. And the 1st is a 1st, plus a couple other pieces. No way Chevy could match that for a rental.

That guy has been healthy scratched multiple times this season and shot an unsustainable 27% last year. Looks like he isnt playing the game the way Tocchet wants and taking him off the 100 point centres line seriously impacted his point totals.
Currently on pace for 18 goals and 37 points.
