Sportsnet: "Good chance" Tyson Jost gets traded

[RoyIsALegend]

Montreal aren't trading Petry for Jost .
Petry is a legit top 4 defenceman .
Jost has never produced more that 26 points in a season.

Is it the 3.5% retention that turned you off of the offer?

 

[datsyukfan]

Jost + 2nd for AA + 5th?

Montreal won't retain any salary on Petry if they decide to trade him .

Damnit.

Well, then... no Jost for you.

 

[tucker3434]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Habs10025]

Damnit.

Well, then... no Jost for you.

That's ok.

 

[57special]

Jost for Donato

 

[RoyIsALegend]

That's ok.

I have to know... do you think I was serious with my offer for Petry?

You’re the only person who responded seriously.

 

[HSF]

Can Jost be sent down to the ahl without having to clear waivers?

If so the Sens would be interested

No, he is not Waivers exempt.

 

[AslanRH]

Jost is easily an NHL player. I struggle to see a team where he'd be less than the #10-13 FWD.

His waiver status shouldn't be a consideration

 

[Kraken Jokes]

I haven't really watched him play, so I'm wondering if he's actually a bad skater as some are saying here.

I ask because it seems to be the default reason HF posters go to when a young player is not producing as expected.

No way of knowing who's serious or not .

 

[Prior]

Always liked Jost. As a UND alum, felt he left too early and would have benefited for another year or two.

Will be interesting if he can carve out a defined role elsewhere if the Avs decide to move him.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

My guess is that Avs fans will be upset by his value. We should know very soon.

My guess is that you actually couldn't be more wrong

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

No way of knowing who's serious or not .

I mean.... come on, 3.5% retention? You think that's serious?

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Tyson Jost and Tyson Barrie are not the same player. Neither is Tyson Fury. All probably named after Mike Tyson.

Tyson Tchikeen had a nice business venture after his playing days

 

[Bender]

If there's anything we can't criticize about his development is that he hasn't been given opportunities. He has been spoonfed NHL time for years. It took like 2.5 years for him to even get sent back to the AHL which he skipped at first.

His issue is with fit and the team style of all out skating everywhere, not lack of opportunity.

I agree with you that he's been in the lineup but he's rarely if ever really been given a consistent top-6 opportunity over a 5-6 game period. It's always been a shift here, a period there maybe 1 whole game and then he's shifted elsewhere in the lineup. His usage has been that of a 3rd/4th line player almost exclusively this season with the additions of Kadri, Burakovsky and Donskoi.

Like you said, it's not the best fit for the Avs but I could totally see him working out on a different team.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

In a slower, more deliberate system, Jost is going to be a great number 2C. Guy is great along the boards and isn't afraid to take the body to make a play. It just hasn't worked here.

Translation?: on a slow team, Josts lack of speed and skating skill is less noticeable to the point where he’d make a viable 2C

 

[CupInSIX]

Rangers fans will love him if he's moved, he has the makings of being a smaller Sean Couturier 2.0. Has all the tools of being an elite shutdown centre.

Super hard worker, smart player, good shot when he gets it off. His skating has held him back from finding a place on this Avs team.

If he were moved to a team that doesn’t rely on speed and skating as much as the Avs, he could carve out a middle-6 role. He’s still so young.

Will be a good fit for someone. Really speedy, great shutdown centre. Just hasn't had enough opportunity in Colorado.

Jost is a guy I could see breaking out in a big way over the next few years. He just plays the game the right way and works his ASS off. I just can't imagine some team not looking back on moving for him and being thankful. Kid is an A+ human being as well. Just probably wont get the opportunity he will need with how deep that Col team has gotten

He needs a change of scenery. I wouldn't be surprised to see him carve out a decent career somewhere else.

He won't cost much in a trade, I suspect. Might be the roster player in the standard pick+roster player+prospect formula if Avs look for an upgrade.

Incredible how much better a player becomes in the eyes of a fanbase when they're about to be traded (unless you're Gustafsson).

Never seen praise like this for Jost in the trade board the past few years.

Gotta save your shekels for the big Weber retirement party unless he can concoct an ice allergy

I think you can find a post of me praising Jost a few months ago if you search for it. The truth is that he has become the whipping boy for Avs fans and especially hfAvs . A mix of overtly high expectations not getting fulfilled and always needing a few scapegoats around even if things are going great has lead to that. Zads is another example of that.

Jost simply shouldn't have been in the NHL 2 years ago. He was brought in to satisfy the fanbase after a very disappointing stretch where we missed the playoffs 3 seasons in a row and he clearly wasn't ready at all. Got injured a couple of times early because his body wasn't ready at all and since then has never taken off. There were some glimpses but ultimately he got surpassed by other people while many still were seeing him as that top10 pick destined to fill in for Duchene as our #2C and he couldn't live up to that label at all unfortunately. That lead to a ton of hatred towards him.

He isn't even bad. He rarely does anything that really hurts the team. Just a non-factor most of the time. You can still see why he was drafted high and I personally would want to give him another offseason of strength and skating training before I would be ready to give up on him. It probably won't happen with the Avs but the dude is awesome and a very hard worker and possesses most tools that you need to be successful on the NHL level. He is just in a very bad situation in Colorado right now where he is not living up to the unreasonable expectations put on him and also on a team that simply also does not fit his strength. He isn't fast enough or physical enough (yet) to play his type of game for a team playing like the Avs.
Certainly a very good change of scenery candidate. I will be rooting hard for him to succeed once he gets moved.
I just wonder who will be next in line for hfAvs if he (and Z) is gone. Compher maybe I guess...

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Tyson Jost fits Bergevin's motto to a T.

Reclamation project.

Then again, you can't get him for Cousins, Weal, Thompson, or anything minor like that, so Montreal isn't getting him.

 

[Taluss]

Something like Jost and a 3rd for JGP would make sense.

Let's not forget that he's only 21. He was drafted 10th overall in 2016 and did very well in his D+1 year. The upside is there...it just won't be with the Avs.

Make the pick a conditional one, if Pageau resigns it's a 2nd or 1st. Not exactly sure how good Jost is so idk which pick I'd want back on the condition
