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

[WolfHouse]

Agreed, IMO the return would involve one of our top six wingers. Brady style I love, there would be very few untouchables in trading for him from the Jets IMO

Brady for Schmidt

 

[Whileee]

He's lost value, he can't make the Habs lineup which is bad, he's bad defensively, good offensively. Personally not a lot of interest at this stage, IMO barring the Jets scouts thinking they can fix his defensive problems.

Jets have Salomonsson in the pipeline, and he looks like a much stronger future option than Barron. Also, Ville Heinola made the Jets coming out of camp as a RD, and so he's also probably ahead of a player like Barron.

Basically, I don't think the Jets would have much interest.

FWIW seravalli said we kept tabs on tanev and put the 2nd round pick on the table

Agreed, no interest in Barron at this stage

 

[Hunter368]

We'd have to send a pretty significant chunk of salary the other way just to make it work under the cap. Connor or Ehlers, plus prospect(s) and pick(s)?

Yup and I would be ok with that. Not commenting specifically talking on a return, but I agree it would be a big return.

Not that surprising. They likely feel they need an upgrade on Schmidt.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Would the Jets be interested in Justin Barron ?

If so what would you guys be willing to trade for Barron ?

What would you want?

He has some value as a RHS D but realistically, he lost his spot on one of the worst teams in the league to a guy the Jets waived. If his brother want on the Jets would the team even be mentioned?

That only proves that he was not yet ready.

Personally, I would be highly interested - for the right price.

That high 2nd might be the best pick that has been offered. I expect it would take another piece, a decent one.

 

[CrosbyStaalsAndNash]

That's a hell of a username

Thanks!

 

[Lockin17]

What would you want?

Prospect with the same value.
Maybe Lambert ?

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Prospect with the same value.
Maybe Lambert ?

Barron has too many warts at his age to be worth a Lambert

 

[Heldig]

Prospect with the same value.
Maybe Lambert ?

More like a Stanley in value.

OK, going with not meddling with a winning formula makes sense - to a point.

But looking at who we are beating and how should be cause for concern. Recently, only the PP and Helle are saving us. Go back further than the last 6 games and the PP wasn't working. We lost 5 in a row. Actually, I count 6W in the last 7. That gives us 6W, 6L in the last 12. 500 is not good enough.

Now do the other top teams ... looks like some are below .500 in their last 10 games.
Yes the Panthers and Rangers and even the Leafs have a good winning record in the last 10 games but that's because of their PPs.
Those 5 losses ... did the Jets play bad?
The Boston game yes 2 bad periods but the other games the puck was just not going in ... its happens.
This seems to be a weird year in the NHL with so many teams going on winning streaks and losing streaks. One night a team will win 4-0 and the next game they lose 6-1 against teams with basically the same record.

Usually take more time for a Defensemen to develop, I think Barron will play in the NHL at least 500 games.

I think Lambert is a bit too high a price to pay for Justin Barron.

Barron is 22 and he's shown more than Stanley

Just not sure he won't end up like Schmidt

 

[Lockin17]

I understand .

Just begs the question why jets would give up on Chisholm just to trade for Barron- very similar players right now

Did the Jets play bad in those 5 losses? Yes!
They have also played badly in several wins.
They were better last night. So far, they do seem to be able to flip a switch and play better against better competition. We'll see tomorrow and Sat if they can keep that up.

I don't expect them to be at their best in all 82 games. There will be ups and downs. But we have seen in the past that their down becomes the norm through the last half season and PO. It is about 15 games now of generally much worse play than in the first half, with a smattering of better games in that mix. Playing poorly and winning just breeds more poor play.

I remain optimistic for the rest of this season. But my optimism is tempered by some of the weaknesses we have been seeing. I think these next 2 games will tell a lot.

Prospect with the same value.
Maybe Lambert ?

Sorry, nope. Not a snowball's chance in hell. Lambert's value now is higher than Barron's has ever been and Barron's value has dropped significantly. I might consider Lucius, as another prospect whose value has dropped.

LHS vs RHS

But then it becomes, why did they give up on Kovacevic? Why do they not give up on Stanley?

Barron is better the Kovacevic by a lot.
It's just that they can't send Kovacevic in the AHL while Barron does not have to go thru waiver.
Barron is playing big minutes right now, he will be a regular next year i guarantee you that.

Sure. Good.
But what I said about Barron's value holds. He would be a bit of a project.

Montreal's development system is baffling for sure... leaving a prospect who's played 80 NHL games over two years in the AHL just to save a less talented waiver wire player such as Kovacevic from waivers.... something doesn't connect here.

Burning Barron's LAST YEAR of entry level contract...

I'll solve your problem - here's a 5th round pick for Kovacevic

 

[Jet]

Report out there that Brady T is unhappy with the Sens, damn if he would play for another Canadian team I would offer ALOT for him.

I need a shower. Also, I agree.

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

I think Lambert is a bit too high a price to pay for Justin Barron.

Why would we pay anything for Barron. We just let the left handed Chisholm version go to waivers for nothing. Definitely don’t want to pay for something we just had.

That being said I guess we could somehow leverage the 2 brothers video if we did get him.
