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

[voyageur]

I just can't see them making a deal that we would be happy about and no way you are getting either Dobson or Romanov out of them. I don't think Pulock wants to come back here and Pelech is kind of meh for me.

Maybe they add in LA's 1st instead or a third team is involved but we really need to fill out the 2nd line center spot next year more so then the defense(i mean if they sign Demelo if not well that is an issue as well)

I think it could be multiple picks...1st rounder, 2nd rounder, maybe a prospect...You could probably get a d-man like Justin Barron with our 37OA 2nd round pick and that would be interesting...might be able to have a top pairing that consistently pushes the pace.. Barron had 7 goals in 48 games on a shitty Habs team that has young RD depth pushing to get in.. Wouldn't call that an upgrade on De Melo but has the potential to be a 30-40 point d-man I think.

Chevy's only got one bargaining chip that we know of and I wonder if he would consider acquiring more to put on the table... I have a hard time seeing the Jets winning big in free agency, even though there is a slough of defensemen out there.

For some reason I could see the Jets looking at Dumba if De Melo walks because he had some amazing PK numbers last year in an otherwise disappointing season. At least disappointment comes cheaper.

He's a small town country boy that's very close to his friends and family. Not saying he wants to but wouldn't surprise me if he did.

Maybe he is, but he has a wife to consider who's from the LI area. I'm not saying he wouldn't accept a trade but I'd think it would be within a short distance from her family. I would be surprised if he waived for Winnipeg.

 

[10Ducky10]

I'd be okay with Dumba at 2m for one year.


Barron doesn't do anything for me in an Ehlers trade.

I thought his fiance lived in MB and ran a shelter for dogs or something. I must be mixing her up with someone else.
Pulock straight up for an extended Ehlers is a deal I wouldn't have to think about for long.

I'm just taking my info from Islander fans so it's very possible you're correct. From a quick Google search it seems like his girlfriend from around here is now his ex.

I wonder if Simon Holmstrom would be a moveable prospect from the Isles. I'd take Czikas too if the Isles will take Kupari.

Can Chevy finds any homers this offseason? You would think there must be a few Manitobans who would proudly wear the Jets jersey.

Just talked to someone who knows the family, wife to be is from new York, has a very successful job and a lot of money, more than pulock. So I think we can put this to rest.

Dumba and Pionk as 2 of our RHD - can't wait!

I wonder what careers earn more than professional nhl athlete.

I was told event planner but not sure if that also included family wealth.

 

[10Ducky10]

I think maybe her dad is rich?

 

[Joe Hallenback]

My thoughts are they trade Ehlers for Draft picks + NHL ready prospect. They promote Lambert/Chib into the lineup. Sign Demelo, Dillon walks, promote Heinola and we go into the season with

Connor/Scheif/Vilardi
Neids/Lowry/Apples
Perfetti/Names/Lambert
Chibs/Gus/Barron
Kupari

Morrissey/Demelo
Heinloa/Samberg
Stanley/Pionk

Trade out Ehlers,Iaffalo. Buyout Schmidt. Sign some low rent UFAs.

If things are in the shitter at the deadline you can move Names/Apples/Pionk at the deadline and wait another year and bring in McGroarty and Salo

People will hate it but I just have a feeling they go this route

3 rookies in the line up? Heinola in top 4? Very unlikely.

 

[Board Bard]

I am still of the opinion it will be an asset trade and not a player for player deal. Like draft pick(s) plus a NHL ready type of prospect the Jets like

The rumor mill had Chevy insisting on Kupari being part of the Dubois trade. Now I'm expecting him to insist that another complete dud be part of an Ehlers trade.

They did get Barron in a trade as a throw and I am not ready to completely say Kupari is a dud

Does that mean you're ready to partially say Kupari is a du? On a related note, "duh" is a word that springs to mind whenever Kupari plays.

What about Monahan?

Agree. I think Barron is going to open eyes next season, and Kupari has potential to succeed in a high pressure, high pace system.

I proposed this route a few pages back either here or the 24/25 thread. It's not the most ideal in terms of challenging for a Cup but it could help set us up down the line and we can figure out what we have in the young guys in the process.

May not hurt to be bad for a couple years and potentially get a shot at some of the high end talent coming through.

Just don’t see Chevy going that route so soon after re-signing Scheifele and Hellebuyck last fall. Promoting Arniel says let’s continue where we left off, not let’s take a step back for a year or two.

The players felt recharged with the moves made last summer and finished 4th overall in league play. The playoffs didn’t go as planned, and that has left a bad taste for everyone and a feeling of “let’s learn from this, continue to build, and make amends for last year’s playoffs.”

Would taking a step back be best for future success? Absolutely. But slow ticket sales and a strong showing last year screams driving ahead, not stepping back imo.

 

[RustyCat]

Don't get the Dumba talk. That guy is a tire fire and a shell of what he used to be.

I'm really not sure the Jets play it that safe. I also feel like the inactivity re-signing players doesn't encourage anyone to re-sign because a team about to lose a top 6 centre, and two top 4 d-men is scarcely a contender....

I hope there is a bidding war on Ehlers but I believe it is tampering if any GM approaches his agent askjng if he'll re-sign so what a team will give up is debatable, and some teams may be scared off...But Lou got Horvat that way...Just getting a prospect like Holmstrom who had 10 less goals last year, but isn't 35 goal potential would be enough, with a 1st and 2nd.

With Arniel as coach maybe it's not status quo...I think he could put Perfetti and Connor together.

Let's say the forward group was

Nino/Scheif/Valardi (power line)
Connor/Perfetti/Namestnikov (speed and skill plus a 200 ft player. Namestnikov if nothing else could be a place holder for Mc Groarty)
Barron/Lowry/Apples (grind line)
Holmstrom/Gustafsson/Lambert (speed on the wings, but driving the net speed, and a defensive centre for the PK)

Could those guys score more than last year's forward group? Lambert might have more PP potential than Ehlers by being aggressive enough to attack the net,

I think Iafallo is tradeable, but you probably have to take some salary back to trade him.

Getting a 1st and a 2nd in a trade, if you can't get a player you want for your best asset , plus having the 37 OA pick from the Dubois trade, gives Chevy some potential to hit on a top 4 d-man. Depending on who's available. I think De Melo is going to get rewarded...Once the top d men like Zadorov, Skej amd Montour get signed, defensemen are going to fall like dominoes on July 1st.

Yeah it's ticket sales driving everything right now. Was last year what the Jets really are or was it just a really good season amidst a slew of bad ones? There's a good chance we take a step back either way.

We just finished 4th in the league and we should tank for a high draft pick?

Horrible lineup.
What is the cap with a 1.5m backup? 75m including Wheeler's and Schmidt's buyout?

 

[Daximus]

I'm not sure if we can do it again to be honest with you. That's not tanking though. Tanking would be trading away all our vets to try and land the 1st overall pick.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Decent article on potential Ehlers destinations. Most are justified and then basically ruled out. Despite the need at RD, I can't help tonthink that one of Savoie, Kulich or Östlund would be the best return out there.

Just an edit to add, that while Montreal is not suggested above, I would take Barron and Beck as a return for an extended Ehlers as well.
