I could totally take this in a salacious direction... but I won't.
Yeah, but nobody reads your posts
Yes, I do. What's your point?

Because this happened late do we count this as happening on Tuesday

Yup and it would be a quick way to cap strap a team. You do need to make some bets early to get some long term cap savings.
Let's just hope Chevy doesn't blow the savings on a long term extension to Pionk or another $6 million bottom pairing dmen.

This man had a 25 game goalless drought and not only was he not scratched, he received top-6 ice-time:
Every player goes through scoring droughts. To scratch a player who had been giving you fantastic top-6 level production is confusing behavior at best. The man missed his bonus by 1 goal, it is strange to suggest that that didn't have to do with the pointless scratches.
It’s been Tuesday for a while here. Some of us listen to jazz or mellow music or try to kip in the nap rooms, others scour the nets for the latest Jets bargaining updates…
Hoped for term but price is right. If all goes well the next one will cost a lot more. Well done, and now onto the real tests.

Sorry, when was Mason Appleton in the top-six and who supports him being a top-six player?
Isn't Appleton mostly used on D-zone draws and pk... this is not an apples to apples comparison (pun intended). Perfetti was NOT giving top-6 level production during his goal/points drought.

Byfield also had a 23 game drought and didn't see a loss of minutes if you want an apple to apple comp. Other coaches handle younger players differently.
It's done now, Bones is gone, the contract is inked and I'm sure Cole has a chip on his shoulder entering the year. I expect a strong year.

What happened to a player on another team is complety irrelevant. The Kings weren't a serious playoff contender and they had much better offensive support (8 players over 40 points to Winnipeg's 4) so they could afford to give ice time to a player in a slump. Winnipeg was trying to win the conference and was struggling offensively and had to grab some offensive pickups around trade deadline.

The point is that they chose a different method on dealing with a slumping player. The Canes did the same with Jarvis the year prior and they were a serious contender.
Also please don't give me that the Kings aren't trying to win a cup while they still have Doughty and Kopitar as strong players.
Bones chose his method on how he wanted to deal with it. Some other coaches would have chosen differently.

I guess in the off season there isn’t allot to talk about legitimately but Chevy and the Jets have a way of getting these deals done. I wasn’t worried, nor was I all that interested since I knew it was going to work itself out.
Fair deal, now Cole has a chance to go out and “show us” for his next pay day.

I have no clue what they do there. Maybe they see how it plays out and make a decision after Xmas.

I think it's strange to suggest that someone who had 71 chances to score his one precious goal isn't to blame for not doing it
His job is to produce when he's in the top six. The player you've outlined has a different role. Had he not done his role, he'd have been scratched too
You do know that different players on the team play different roles based on their strengths and weaknesses, right?

Better not give up another 1st for a rental. Best deadline acquisitions could be from our own pipeline that’ll cost zero assets.
Wish Bowness was more like the Stars coach who integrated young guys like Hintz, Robertson and Heiskenen.....shoot, what's his name again?

Last year in the regular season Winnipeg had 259 goals for and LA had 256 goals for.
Jets didn’t need to trade for offense at the deadline. We had a plus 60 goal differential last season which was 4th best in the NHL so we had plenty of goals for considering how committed we were to defense. We got to the dance with Team defense and goaltending giving up a league low 199 goals against. We should have stuck with that. Instead we gave up a draft class to “hopefully” insert more goalscoring into our top 6, f***ing with the team chemistry. The results were a disaster in the playoffs as we seemingly abandoned team defense and went T2T with Colorado??? Can’t blame that all on the rentals but we did change out 40% of our top 6 assets.
Adding at the deadline has only worked for us once and that wasn’t even a 1st round pick we gave up. The process has failed for us the rest off the time. We don’t do deadlines well at all.
Fools gold.
Hey I have no problem trading quality draft capital for assets that can improve our roster for years to come, but not for rentals on expiring deals that we walk out the door after our annual playoff sweep in the last 4 games.

Wow, that is perhaps the most nonsensical post of the year. I'm sure Cole takes responsibility for his lack of offense during that stretch, it's too easy to blame others when you really should be looking within. Your post reeks of being a helicopter fan.
