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

[MardyBum]

Colin Miller still out there lol??

Comrie is OK singing because $825 is the same as zero with regards to the Cap. But you only get 53 contracts so don't be so lazy Chevy. It's that damn lake living.

 

[raideralex99]

Today underlines the point that Chevy needs to stop giving away draft picks at the deadline, the guys that he has brought in for the most have not worked.

I totally agree but at TDL all you hear Chevy has to do something ... acquire so and so for a Cup run.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Bullet dodged. Curious to see the AAV on this. Around ~3.9 million?

You have got to be kidding.m? I’m sorry but he’s not worth that. And not worth the term.

 

[GJF]

$5.5 M is a fair contract for a 2C ... I'm not disappointed but I heard Chevy was trying to resign him.

Agree, in general, it is a fair contract for someone you want to have as your 2C long term. I personally don't want to have Monahan as our 2C long term.

 

[Duke749]

Hoping in hindsight we’ll be glad not to sign Monohan at that price.

I see Nashville has made some moves.

 

[jiho]

TSN panel discussing the Jets only move was signing Comrie as their 3rd goalie and speculating on who they should sign as the #2....lol

 

[cbcwpg]

Because we are the only team that never participates in building a team via UFAs , then we must build our team via drafting players. We need as many draft picks as possible. So I don't care how close Chevy thinks we are to the Cup just before the trade deadline, the next time he trades a 1st round pick for a rental, he needs to be fired. Period.

Monahan is not a 2C

He needs to stop half assing it with Monahan type crap….go all in on a Lindholm or stay out of it completely.
Making a move just to make a move is stupid and wasting assets.

Obviously TSN is out of touch when it comes to the Jets. Thinking we still need a backup goalie... Sorry guys, we have our backup. We may not like it, but there he is.

Is it too early to start Canada Day drinking?

 

[WolfHouse]

What a relief that Wayne Bongiovanni was already signed before free agency... I don't think I could take coming out of today with him and Comrie.

 

[King Woodballs]

If the jets don’t want to spend (or can’t spend) big in free agency. I get that.
Then maybe stop wasting picks, improve the scouting department, and draft better.

 

[gojetsgo]

what's the average amount of players you should become nhlers per draft? 2? and you can control them for a total of 7 years, so in that 7 years it should be expected to have 14 players and of those players the skill level will vary, so unless we some how hit big and more then expected you can not build a team entirely thru a draft, there has to be another avenue to fill out the holes on your team, we clearly can't do that thru free agency...

Is it too early to start drinking on the Jets 24-25 season?

So I don't care how close Chevy thinks we are to the Cup just before the trade deadline, the next time he trades a 1st round pick for a rental, he needs to be fired. Period.

The problem is that as McGroarty showed us, we may start to have a problem signing our first round draft picks. Hard to be a draft and development team when you can't sign your draft picks! I sure hope that Chevy has something up his sleeve, but I am not counting on it. So far he has set up Arniel for failure. Right now our main problem is that we are paying our third and fourth line way too much and as such, we have much less to spend on our top lines. This makes us non competitive in free agency. Unfortunately, I am starting to worry that about the time Chipman realizes Chevy is not the guy, the attendance at the games will be so low that he will simply sell them and they will move away from Winnipeg. I think it may be Chipman's way or no way.

I hope not…I’m half way through a case and started in a bottle of vodka 10 mins ago

Phew... At least your hot takes are drunken hot takes

Makes more sense now

Not for 5 years.

Who says I’m drunk… as for my “hot takes”, I call it like I see it… if you don’t like it…not my problem.
Too many Chevy apologists around here for my liking

Free Agency Frenzy is so boring they are playing Plinko

It's not about spending the money ... its the players don't want to come unless you over pay.
Lindholm and Zadorov were offered the same money by the Canucks but went to Boston instead.
I agree hire more and better scouts.

They might need to stop with the all day coverage type stuff for FA and the TDL..maybe do a thing from noon to 3pm and that’s it
