Helly said that he wanted to play for a contender. If he thinks the Jets are a contender who knows what he decides. Either way the organization won’t pull the plug on the season after 5 months of pushing the product as hard as they can to the ticket buying public.Helly will be traded before the deadline even if we are in a playoff race. The difference this year is Helly has said he isn't resigning here. Chevy will have learned from Armstrong in St.Louis that selling off at the deadline if you don't believe you can go all the way is best.
Carlo has a NTC so no use throwing him in trade proposals.Scheif for Swayman and Carlo and a 2nd.
Helle for Mitts and the Sabres 2nd.
Helly extending with the Jets is a no go. That ship has sailed. That has been reported numerous places. But some still cling to the mirage that he will sign here.Helly said that he wanted to play for a contender. If he thinks the Jets are a contender who knows what he decides.

never take what the media says as 100% they are often wrongHelly extending with the Jets is a no go. That ship has sailed. That has been reported numerous places. But some still cling to the mirage that he will sign here.
He has also never been quoted as saying he won’t re-sign with the Jets. The guy wants to win and get the best contract he can.never take what the media says as 100% they are often wrong
I think everyone is waiting for the fallout from that Junior Team Canada scandal.Buffalo gets Hellebuyck & Konecny
Philadelphia gets Savoie & Heinola
Jets get Hart and Mittelstadt
[Jets get Hart and Mittelstadt for Helly and Heinola]
[Flyers get Savoie and Heinola for Konecny and Hart]
[Sabres get Helly and Konecny for Savoie and Mittelstadt]
Tough to get one's head around 3-way trades like this. As it ruminates, I think Jets add a 2nd/3rd or B prospect to Philly. Comrie would have to go to Philly and Buffalo needs $2-3m of retention between Konecny and Helly.
C'mon Chevy, this is easy!!
keep forgetting about thatI think everyone is waiting for the fallout from that Junior Team Canada scandal.
I’d say Carlo or Swayman and maybe Frederic.Scheif for Swayman and Carlo and a 2nd.
Helle for Mitts and the Sabres 2nd.
Carlo is probably a no go due to the often cited NTCI’d say Carlo or Swayman and maybe Frederic.
Lysell and Swayman.Carlo is probably a no go due to the often cited NTC
I'd much prefer Lysell over Frederic.
If we are anywhere near a playoff spot Chevy isn’t selling at the TDL. Fans like playoffs and the buzz around them. Many ticket buyers no nothing of prospects and draft picks. Many will just believe we will still just sign Helly and Scheifele after the season. IMO if we don’t move them before the season we are all in and Chevy is more likely to buy then sell at the TDL if we are in a playoff position no matter the contract status of players. That will be our reality.

Money very often talks... I like our chances a lot better than 2 months ago of keeping himWhile I do agree with you, I wonder what Helle will do if no US team is willing to pay him Vasilevskiy money long term, but the Jets are willing.
Does he go with the security of such a contract, or take less money and term but gets to be where he wants to be?

Is there a round in the playoffs that the Jets get to that would make losing Hellebuyck and Scheifele to UFA a bit easier to swallow?
Absolutely cant happen. No way Chevy lets this happen.Worst possible scenario for the upcoming season would be both Scheifele and Helle doing what they have done in the past seasons the Jets making the playoffs, getting bounced in the first round and both leaving as free agents with the Jets getting nothing in return.

Conference finals. It will create a lot of buzz and cash for the org like 2018 and the momentum likely carries sales forward into the next season. Allowing the org to have a retool year.
A hard fought second round series loss likely also works for the org from a cost benefit and economic standpoint.
I had a big post on this in Mort's "retool" thread, but I could live with losing Scheifele this way.Absolutely cant happen. No way Chevy lets this happen.
Yeah, I think a competitive showing would demonstrate that the team was good enough to take the gamble on. I think there'd be no better momentum killer sales wise than throwing in the towel at the deadline if the team is in a playoff spot.
I think that's always a risk with playoff teams. They often spend (picks / prospects) at the TDL, but end up with a disappointing performance in the playoffs.Worst possible scenario for the upcoming season would be both Scheifele and Helle doing what they have done in the past seasons the Jets making the playoffs, getting bounced in the first round and both leaving as free agents with the Jets getting nothing in return.

The calculation is always related to how strong a contender the team is. If the Jets look like a marginal playoff contender without a clear chance to go far in the playoffs, then the Jets have to be circumspect about planning for the future. The Copp trade is perhaps a demonstration of Chevy's approach. The Jets had a "chance" to make the playoffs, but didn't look like they were going to be a contender. He kept Copp for that season to see how the Jets would pan out, but traded him when the Jets looked "meh".
For next season, on "paper" you could make the argument that the Jets are considerably stronger than last season, and they were a strong team down the stretch last season (7th in the NHL in 5v5 xGF% in the last 30 games), and were on a "heater" going into the playoffs.

Looking towards next season, if you compare what the Jets have added and subtracted from the roster (since the TDL), the Jets have had a big net gain (in xGAR and xWAR) by swapping PLD, Wheeler, Stenlund and Manalainen for Niederreiter, Vilardi, Iafallo and Namestnikov.
If you add in a healthy Ehlers and Perfetti for the full season, the Jets look quite a bit deeper and stronger than last season.
So, most teams would not be looking towards a rebuild with that quality of roster, but it will be interesting to see how Chevy balances present vs. future value.
