Confirmed with Link: Dmitry Kuzmin from Winnipeg to Chicago for Isaak Phillips.

[AtomicJets]

He'll immediately be top pair on the Moose. We have nothing there on the left side. Kuzmin had been playing 3rd pair for them and didn't seem to be progressing. I like the move.

Huge

but not 6'7 huge .......

 

[Cypruss]

At the end of the day, a #9/#10 depth D for this year IF we need him, for a #9/10 depth D in three years IF they need him.

Seems solid for a team contending this season.

Interesting move by the Jets.

Trading their only ELC level LD for a 5th year pro.

Jamaican maan.

Maybe the Jets are going to sign Dylan Anhorn to a 2 way contract down the road.

For the Moose he's probably #1 ahead of Anhorn and Sauntner. With Salomonsson back sooner or later, Lundmark, Barteaux and Bauer on the right side, and Coghlan potentially on the way down once Fleury is back on the roster this week I am not sure what changes there.

Does Lundmark go back to his offside, with Salomonsson? Anhorn with Coghlan? Phillips with Barteaux or Bauer? Sauntner out of the starting lineup?

One less prospect in the pipeline.

I guess if you want to read into Stanley getting moved and Coghlan staying up there is that, but I don't see it.

Seems like a guy to potentially release the Jets organization from Bauer next.

Phillips is a 6'3 Left shot defenseman and is 23 years old. Has played just under 60 NHL games over the past 3 years (only 3 this year).

Not sure what to make of this......

 

[Crocket]

Love this trade

 

[Bender Duster]

Was Kuzmin the guy whose Grandma didn't know what a Winnipeg was when he told her the Jets drafted him? I wonder if she knows what a Chicago is?

 

[MyNameIsTaken]

Like to think this is primarily done with the moose in mind. Hope they are trying to build a better environment there, more back and support for our forwards!

Just making more cap room for Barzal, book it.

Sounds like a decent enough rumour!

Better than, Chevy gave up Kovacevic and Chisholm to make room for this guy!

Can I be cynical. I think Philips as higher value as a throw in when we do our yearly deadline splash

 

[Ludwig Fell Down]

Teams can never have too much blueline depth for the playoffs. Nothing wrong with this move.

Why is that cynical? That would be a good use of a prospect far down your depth chart.
