For Chabot?
Edibles tend to take awhile to kick in, you're not supposed to keep eating if you don't feel anything right away.
KFC and a 1st?
For several years, Scheif has consistently put in horrific and team morale destroying levels of defensive effort. In the deco half of last year, there were several shifts that were as bad as PLDs last shift in Columbus.“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 am not sure if you are serious or not?
A Murray and Brossoit tandem is almost assured to spend 65% of the season on IR. Who’s next up, Delia or Salminen? No thanks.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
As it stands with the roster barring no more changes, we’re a playoff team. Wild card to be specific.So, who are the real Winnipeg Jets? Are they the first half team, the second half team or just the bubble team that barely made the playoffs?
The argument someone else made was that we are the bubble team that barely made the playoffs and the reshuffling to date will leave us at the same place.
Not sure I necessarily buy that.
Zero chance NJ moves Nemec or Mercer for Hellebuyck. Even if he is signed long term.I could see nemec to us for Helle but that would be straight up I think. I think tho, Mercer is more reasonable as they can't pay everyone and prob need guys like nemec on elcs to make it work cap wise
I'd do a deal around Holtz, Vanecek and picks. Would love it if it was Schmid instead of Vanecek, but the dollars make more sense with Vanecek. I'm guessing that the Jets have little interest in Vanecek though. May need to find another home for him.Zero chance NJ moves Nemec or Mercer for Hellebuyck. Even if he is signed long term.
Mercer is a budding star that NJ wouldn't trade for Timo Meier. He is not getting traded for a goalie. Nemec is a 2nd overall pick who had a very good first year in AHL.
Best we can offer is Alex Holtz, Vanecek and picks. If that is not enough, then Fitzgerald will wait for free agency. He has already stated publicly that he is happy to go with Vanecek and Schmid for the season after trading Blackwood.
Yes the team could upgrade Vanecek but he was still good enough for NJ to finish with a 3rd overall record in NHL last season. If Vanecek regresses this season, maybe there is a deadline deal to be made between our two teams. But it certainly wont involve Mercer or Nemec.
Wait…..are you saying that your offer is a take it or leave it or otherwise you will just sign him in a year for free. Because you can’t say that. The Habs are only allowed to use that line of thinkingZero chance NJ moves Nemec or Mercer for Hellebuyck. Even if he is signed long term.

Maybe the compromise to getting Nemec is insisting on Schmid and no retention on Helly. i.e. Chevy will pass on Schmid, take Vanecek and his contract, and retain on Helly, if it's Nemec and a pick coming back instead of Holtz and a pick.I can absolutely see NJD moving Nemec for Helle. That team is on the precipice of having a multi-year run at being a legit contender for the SC, and the missing ingredient is a Vezina calibre goaltender. That team is currently doing it without Nemec and has Hughes in the pipeline to be a top pairing D. Mercer is a tougher sell at this point

Do you think the Leafs would trade us Liljegren for Vesalainen? They'd get a million of cap relief and we'd put to bed the Vegas expansion debate forever!
*wit, not stupidity
It's the salary difference that makes it that much more of a no go. It's 19 year old Nemec + 5-6 mil in cap space that is only going to improve vs 30 year old Helle that can only go down in valueThat would be by far the biggest return a goalie has EVER gotten. A 2nd overall pick 1 year removed from being the 2nd overall pick. Literally unheard of return.
They need to clear some cap but it's doubtful they move a young roster player in a position of need for a useless non-roster player. Would be nice though.
I think if NJ wants to get greedy and insists on salary retention then maybe its okay to get greedy back. We know how the Jets feel about retention haha.Maybe the compromise to getting Nemec is insisting on Schmid and no retention on Helly. i.e. Chevy will pass on Schmid, take Vanecek and his contract, and retain on Helly, if it's Nemec and a pick coming back instead of Holtz and a pick.

If you're NJ at that point you'd probably just ride it out closer to deadline when the salary is easier to fit in?
I think you're on the right track here for sure though.
Vanecek, Holtz a 1st and a young depth piece is around where I think it ends up
So what are the possible destinations for 55?
Boston - Swayman, Lysell, 2025 1st
Nashville - Glass, Askarov, 2024 2nd
Detroit - seem capped out at C with Larkin, Compher and Copp?
Anaheim - I could see it; they have lots of space and could use the veteran down the middle there for the rebuild. don't know what I'd ask for
Seattle - cap space; short on signed forwards; they have Beniers/Wright as the cornerstones, but with the success of last season, do they lose some patience?
Calgary - to replace Lindholm, whom likely gets moved (3-way with Carolina?)
NYR - the gang's back together! probably have the space with either Chytil or Lafreniere coming back (Chytil might be more attractive due to the nice contract)
Carolina - directly instead of the three-way with Calgary (Kotkaniemi +)
Is that a one year deal for Samberg? Seems like a horrible decision for the Jets if so.For anyone interested I made up a little Armchair GM on cap friendly with everyone's projected cap hits based on the list published by AFP analytics found here.
Based on this we should have around $2,616,029 in space which gives us some wiggle room. any additional moves like moving out Helle and Scheif and possibly getting even younger would have us sitting pretty good long term.

It was off of a site that projects these things, so I think the idea was some objective criteria.Is that a one year deal for Samberg? Seems like a horrible decision for the Jets if so.
