Player Discussion: dylan samberg

I think Pionk is a good partner for Samberg, but the Jets do better in terms of controlling play when Samberg is away from Pionk than when Pionk is away from Samberg.

Still, I think Pionk's play has improved this season. He seems faster and more physical. I wonder if he's more healthy than he's been in recent seasons.

His ability to create separation in different ways with his skating, whether it be forward or backward, are a unique quality.

I still don't know if you can measure past results with past players in a past system.

The eye test tells me that Samberg still has some struggles as a puck moving d-man, and that is where Pionk is a fairly reliable outlet. It's also the quickness with which they move puck d to d. If he was up there with Josh I think you'd see the same results.

The top PK is most definitely him and De Melo. They work well together.

What do you have as a number for Samberg's next contract?

Anyone else see that donkey Dave Wheeler say that Samberg is on the trade block, on his podcast? That can't be true can it?

The name of his podcast annoys me - Slangin the Bizkit. Are they just trying to rip off Biznasty's name for hits/views? Ugh.

Guessing it's not true. Dave Wheeler is a tool. And I listened to a recent Jets podcast that mentioned Sameberg's wife apparently clapping back at them for the bullshit they tried to drum up.

Going to go out on a real limb here and say "Slangin' the Bizkit" is not a legitimate source of anything. Lmao.

Samberg has been an absolute beast this season for the Jets and one of the unsung heroes on this roster.

Massive priority moving forward to get him locked up for the long term.

If he's indicated that he's not going to sign long-term, then it absolutely could be true. With just a one year arb contract, he can force his way to UFA in 2026. Not sure why everyone thinks "locking him up" is such a done deal... it's not. He will have a lot of suitors if he wants.

The Jets won't trade Samberg now though even if he wants out. It'd be an off-season move. You don't trade a player like Samberg leading up to the playoffs as a contender if you're not forced to, and we're not forced to. He still has trade value later.

But boy would that suck if he does want out. But I'm not buying it because the rumor doesn't make much sense to me.

It would absolutely suck, but he'd carry a ton af value. You could use him as a piece to solidify the 2C or top 4 RHD for the foreseeable future... he's an example of a guy that would get Lou's attention in a potential Dobson trade

The timing of this Samberg rumor just seems to reek of bullshit to me though. If he did want out, he wouldn't be making noise about it now, of all times, when the Jets are #1 and aren't going to trade him anyway. There's practically zero chance Chevy is taking calls or shopping him either, at least right now, at the TDL.

Yeah and the boys on "Slangin The Bizkit" are the only ones with the scoop, eh?

Please share with us what you've heard and sourced to corroborate their rumor that he's "on the trade block."

I honestly thought when I heard him say that that he meant Stanley
 
intrigued to see what he and schenn continue to develop... i've been of the opinion that Samberg is the pillar of the 2nd pair and the anchor of it. guy has continuously progressed, and played well with a variety of partners (asides from 1) over the years. If the Jets for w/e reason do decide to move on from Pionk (or Pionk says no to the Jets), i've gained confidence in Samberg's play this year that you can pair him with perhaps a lesser RHD and that pair would still be ok.

actually wouldn't be the first time in recent history (2023) that a LHD of above-average stature wanted out of Winnipeg in the midst of gearing up for a playoff run.
 
Maybe Samberg's got that jersey number = salary thing going on like Crosby.

So he signs for 5.4 per season

or 54 million per season.

Either way, the worlds going to hell so what does it matter? :laugh:

But seriously, get this hombre signed long term.
