Confirmed with Link: Copp + 6th to NYR for 1st + 2nd + barron +5th

[gojetsgo]

Is there a credible source suggesting the offer was the same?

if you think "NHLRumorsDaily" is credible....

 

[Jets4Life]

45 minutes later, and still no word of the return....

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

this is the account that said it was the same deal they offered for copp, this is a fake account so please please please can we not start the "we could of had barron" crying...

To late.

You are putting about 100 times too much weight on Lehkonen being an RFA, IMO.
Copp is the better player. He would contribute more to Avs Cup chances. That is all that matters at this point. If it was available for Lehkonen it is only reasonable to assume it was also available for Copp.

Huge holdup in trade calls.

 

[Jets 31]

Whatever the deal is at least Chevy traded for something when Copp wasn't coming back next year.

I don't think so. People have to remember that Lehkonen is a RFA and they will hang on to him. His worth is more than rental. Getting multiple picks + a prospect they like for Copp is really solid IMO

 

[Duke749]

He fits the USHL angle this org scouts a lot so I can see our US scouts driving this if he is the piece coming back.

If that’s the case, and he’s the piece, it’s a bit comforting honestly. We’ve really repped the benefits from those guys.

It appears Sakic felt differently. I don't see much of a threat to the Avs next year either so Lehkonen next year makes sense for them.

to late? how is it to late? omg w/e believe fake rumors because you just want to complain about the jets making a horrible move..

 

[Jets4Life]

Just a reminder before you all lose your minds that the last time we traded for a Rags D man it turned out pretty good

Pionk and Heinola for Trouba. If Heinola reaches his ceiling, it will be a huge win for the Jets (not that it was a loss).

Of course depending on the picks and the prospect, but yeah.

 

[UFO]

those central guys are probably on their breaks or had a rough weekend and took a day off today. it might take hours until we know for certain what's going on.

100% disagree.

RFA is hugely important. Allows you to keep a cost controlled player for more than 1 season, when you have a team that is contending, getting good middle 6 players at good prices is massively important because you will be paying your stars tons.

 

[larmex99]

Maybe the teams are trying to submit the paperwork using HFBoard‘s new website. That would explain everything.

 

[surixon]

Does the NHL head office not have a number of guys on this.

Why is Lehkonen being a RFA not important? Sakic is a shrewd customer. If he believes Lehkonen being a RFA makes up the difference between him and Copp then why doesn’t do it?

it's just complaining for the sake of complaining, we don't even know what we got back yet and the pitchforks are out.

[Jets 31]

Winnipeg doesn't have wifi , no wonder we don't know what's going on.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Yes because Colorado can’t possibly look past this season either.

They can. Of course. But that isn't what TD is about.

But even if that was a big factor for them (which I doubt), we know Barron was available. Everything else is speculation, but that , we know.

 

[surixon]

Anyhow, seems the Jets were both buyers and sellers today.

Not really a fan of the Sanford deal but I guess this gives the perception that we are still going to try to make the playoffs.

 

[gojetsgo]

well the rfa not being a big deal last a whole 2 minutes..

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

he was available for the right deal. period.

Exactly.

 

[jetsforever]

If the return was announced immediately no one would care about a couple 2nds and a minor prospect but now they've really got us hooked.

This is what people forget. Copp for anything is better than Copp for nothing.

We will of course see lots of complaining no matter what it is.
