Carlo + Swayman for Scheifele and Stanley seems pretty fair to me.
Leaves a hole for the Jets at C though. Who is trading the Jets a top 2 C?
Maybe can get Mittlestadt or Krebs plus plus In a Helle deal with the LETS GO Buff Alo Sabres

Whats the point of not? I was all for trading them and rebuilding before the PLD trade brought back roster players over futures. If we are going to compete we should be icing the best roster we can otherwise its all for not.
We might as well start rationalizing it because the likelihood seems to be going up
Those of us who see Chevy’s pattern have been saying it for months. If his hand isn’t forced, he doesn’t move. I actually thought he would try to run it back with PLD included..
Mitts would be really nice but the add would have to be substantial.Maybe can get Mittlestadt or Krebs plus plus In a Helle deal with the LETS GO Buff Alo Sabres
I was thinking last season. This season I see us as being basically the same, replacing PLD and Wheeler's production with that of Nino, Iaffalo and Vilardi. But that's the thing, us being basically the same isn't good. We made the playoffs by three points and got smoked. If the goal for the season is the revenue from 2 playoff home games, we might do that. But where does that get us next?
The coach played Scheifele (and PLD and Connor) more down the stretch, after his critique of their play. I'm not sure how that's consistent.No one is arguing Scheifele's scoring prowess... but now you're throwing Bowness under the bus to protect Scheif? Just seems weird.
Scheifele is the one that said he prefers playing a different style than his coach, he's the one that said he needed to consider his future over the team's and he's the one that glides back into his zone... the same guys defending Scheif crucified Laine for exactly the same style of play
That formula only works if you aren't on every single NTC in the league and can attract notable talent and you don't have talent constantly wanting to leave. We have to play the game differently.
I think it's very obvious why the Jets collapsed. At 5v5 they hit a shooting slump and their goaltending sagged. The PP went into the tank (coinciding with Layer's absence).Jets were first in the Western Conference in January before that epic collapse. Why did the Jets collapse? I know Dubois’ game collapsed but he’s no longer here.
There was a lot more nuance to the Jets last season than just to point at where they finally placed.
Some younger players are getting NTC's nowadays as well.

The graph below says it all. In the first half, the Jets were outscoring their shots and expected goals, with great goaltending. Down the stretch the Jets were actually dominating in shots and expected goals, but scoring much less than expected.

Can we please look at the data regarding what happened to the Jets during the "slump". Over the worst scoring slump that largely caused the strong of losses, Scheifele scored as many goals as PLD + Connor + Ehlers, combined.
A reminder...

I remember all the times I had to roll my eyes during a Bowness interview, like when he was defending the lacklustre PP he had no answer for, or his incredibly lame excuses for demoting Ehlers to 3rd line minutes and the 2nd PP down the stretch.
I would sooner keep him until the trade deadline.Helle to Buffalo for Kulich plus comrie
NTC’s are only a factor with older players. If the idea was to flip 29-31 year olds, then the expectation is that we’re getting young 20ish players that are not privy to NTC’s.
You cannot get an NTC for any ”restricted” year of a contract.
Looks like the leafs will be under the gun to move Murray.
Thoughts on taking him on with their 2024 1st if we end up moving Helle? Murray + Brossoit tandem could be decent and gives us a really solid pick
I'm not crazy about helping out the Leafs either but objectively I think it would be a pretty shrewd move for the Jets. We'd need a 1b with Helle gone, and we could get paid for a decent option.I'm not all that enthused to help them out for a late 1st.
don't think he is a 1b and strong chance he would get hurt getting out of bed at this pointI'm not crazy about helping out the Leafs either but objectively I think it would be a pretty shrewd move for the Jets. We'd need a 1b with Helle gone, and we could get paid for a decent option.
Could have 3 first round picks next year assuming we get one in the Helle trade too.
Free reign to root against the Leafs all season long too if we had their first
Into the cilantro so bear with me.
Chabot and DeBrincat (re-signed 7 x 8m) for KFC, 1st in 2024, Pionk and Stanley? Do we add?
Torgersson?
KFC and a 1st?Definitely into the cilantro. Teams trying to get to the next level rarely trade the players that are primarily responsible for getting them there, and that's Chabot for Ottawa.
So, you've never seen him blithely wave his stick at opposing players skating past him, or lollygag his way back to our zone or the bench while everyone else has raced off toward our net?There is no question that Scheifele makes the Jets a better team next season regardless of any narratives people may spout about his "effort". I have never seen a lack of effort an issue with his defensive game, it is almost all a lack of defensive skill and awareness.

I like Kulich as a prospect, but despite the supposed lack of value for goaltenders, Helle’s got to be worth more that.Helle to Buffalo for Kulich plus comrie
