That would have $12m tied up in goalies. You've got maybe Ehlers coming off the books but then you have Vilardi's next contract, Samberg's next contract, and you still have to ice a team. I'm not sure I'd go to that dollar amount but he does seem to fit well here.

"Well placed source close to the Jets"I bet Chevy hates it when stories like this come out ... the advantage goes to the other 31 GMs.
Now its time to start rumors that 5 teams want Ehlers.

There's no such thing lol
Seems to be enough smoke around this that maybe there's some fire but if you rewind 12 (or even 10) months, people were saying the same about Schief and Helle

pagnotta is not a source for anything other then maybe the kings, also think you are overblowing the amount a leak can have on value, it was well known pld wanted out and we came out pretty well on that trade, the only reliable person that gets jets info is dregerI bet Chevy hates it when stories like this come out ... the advantage goes to the other 31 GMs.

Nik wants to leave, I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. My favourite Jet but if the rumour is true and he doesn't want to be here for whatever reason then move him for whatever you can get and move on.
I think I'd rather keep Ehlers for next year's run as a rental if we can only get futures back for him. If its a hockey trade where we can get a roster player then I would be more interested
Actually the opposite can be argued. Now a situation sets up where you have teams competing for him. If a player is available you want multiple suitors.I bet Chevy hates it when stories like this come out ... the advantage goes to the other 31 GMs.

Yup. We already know Chevys gonna maximize return. Nothing wrong with advertising
I would love if they kept Brossoit. However, he HAS to be allowed to play more games.
I wonder if this was something the Jets let out there in advance of a trade that might be unpopular with many fans.

And I MIGHT trade it for the first 9 years of this year's 10th overall pick too. Ask me in 10 years.
A 10th OA pick in what is supposed to be a weak draft class (so I hear) is a pig in a poke. Could turn out very well or could bust. Ehlers is proven.
Also, consider Jets situation. They are still in win now mode. Futures, even good ones, are not what Jets need. Nothing to do with bias. I can bring my bias in on top of that by saying that Ehlers has been underutilized and could produce more on a new team.
True.
But those rights have some value. Just not much.
Agreed 100% I learned my lesson about assuming based off reading the tea leaves
No idea.
I just saw on YouTube shorts some guy hollowing out the center of a vanilla soft serve cone to fill it with sprinkles and now I can’t stop thinking about trying it.
Have you dabbled in this sort of thing before? Is it good?
Ehlers (extended) + Heinola for Necas + 2nd
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
I'd take Necas. His style of play better fits what we are trying to do.

i can see maybe pesce. i think that tier of player would not scoff at WPG (ie: nino, stastny re-signing in recent years - although they were already here & experienced the market. & then consider dillon, demelo or monahan's willingness to re-sign).
Skjei i think may be a higher tier & probably will get a lot more attractive offers. however, overall i think demelo will be the Jets' 1st choice for RD over Pesce, and i doubt anything happens to Pionk. So your top-4 RDs are likely set.
Utah has no dmen signed and 3 RFAs. if the Jets want to move one of Pionk or Schmidt (not something i am predicting) they could be a team that might rather take on one of the contracts for solely 1 year, rather than multi-year deals in UFA for a not-so-good class
Our top 4 LDs are pretty much set, JMo and Samberg. Possibly Dillon but he looks likely to move. If our top 4 RDs are also set we can expect no improvement in our D corps. In fact, likely worse.
Perhaps but the Ducks GM did say they want veteran players back that can help the youth out. Perfetti isn't exactly a vet yet. Perhaps we could offload Ehlers and Pionk for Zegras and some other pieces.
He's a young skilled C who probably honestly just needs some structure. Anaheim has been a dumpster fire for a few years now. He's young, has a tonne of skill and as a 2C to start we could and have done worse.
It's funny because a lot of Carolina fans are down on Necas for similar reasons we are down on Ehlers. They feel he's not cut out for playoff hockey though he has scored more than Ehlers has, albeit on a team that consistently goes deep.
Seems like the likely approach here. Ehlers is a fan favourite so it softens the blow if its rumoured he wants out. If he's looking at testing the market then it makes it more palatable to the fans. I think he wants a change of scenery.
I think he'll be valued around the league, the sticking point will be what teams are looking to give up. If he is set on testing FA than he's a rental and nothing more. If he's willing to talk extension than it has to wait until July 1st which means we miss out on adding something from this years draft if we are looking at the futures route.
Zegras seems like a good fit if he's willing to extend in Anaheim. But I think if Ehlers is set on FA than he's probably wanting to go somewhere that isn't in the midst of a rebuild.

if the jets wanted to leak to soften the blow they would leak to dreger, who they leak everything too, who is far bigger and has more reach than pagnotta

Dreger seems to have been TNSE's mouthpiece in the past. I was thinking the same thing
On the other hand, could be from Ehlers camp for whatever reason. Maybe he's told them he isn't planning on re-signing and Chevy just gave him the "ok, thanks for the info" and Ehlers is afraid that Chevy will take the same patient approach as he did with Schief and Helle last season and not feel any pressure to get anything done around the draft

I think this has been the case the whole time Hellebucyk has been here.
I doubt we are anything other than a WC team without him.
Unfortunately he has been pretty average in playoffs.

I think if it was ehlers camp they would leak it to somebody bigger so it gets more attention
I think the most likely scenario is that since ehlers is such an obvious trade candidate that many have already speculated will be traded pagnotta jumped on it and claimed he had a source so in the event he does get traded he can claimed that he was right

Typically guys like Pagnotta get info from Agents

Smoke = Fire, it will be sad to see Nik go, but if he doesn't want to sign an extension then he needs to go, can't lose him for nothing

That leaves us without that solid RHD everyone's after, a 2C to improve the top 6, and it also downgrades the roster at 2LW. In other words, shit. But at least it would get us something back for Heinola, so that's a bonus.
If Ehlers goes, any trade needs to either replace him outright with an equally good playmaker (those aren't many) or provide a long-term fix at 2C or RHD. Otherwise, get picks and prospects. We're not making the playoffs without Nik.
