Friedman: Jets and Rutger McGroarty are not talking - his name is coming up in trade talks

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Avs should really be interested.

Calum Ritchie 1 for 1?

 

[TommyDangles]

I mean of course the deal only happens if McGroarty agrees to sign otherwise teams won't give up assets for him. Our best prospect is worth McGroarty imo.

From what I understand he doesn't care who he signs with, he just wants to play in the NHL. Ehlers makes sense since Adams wanted to add a top 6 forward. And we still have 11.

Our best prospect isn't worth a McGroarty that doesn't want to sign with his team. Jets don't get rewarded for failing to develop properly.

I doubt he doesn't care who he signs with lol. Ehlers doesn't make sense because Adams clearly wants guys that under team control. Not pending UFAs.

 

[Heldig]

Yet here we are with all these armchair GM thinking that he will just sign, be happy and a dedicated team player.

How easily everyone wants to forget players like Dubois...and more like him will be showing up.

Hockey is getting basketballized...

Basketballized is a scary proposition for several teams in the league.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

They need to come up with some type of way to fix this. Teams invest in these players and burn draft picks. I get players’ rights and all but these aren’t exactly 19th century coal miner working conditions and pay

 

[Heldig]

Rangers offer 30th to Jets for McGroarty?? and (signs after trade)

And Chevy hangs up the phone.

 

[Hunter368]

Logan Mailloux WPG bites?

Depends how the Jets who are a poster child organization view his past off ice actions. He’s a top 4 prospect, but questions about his past potentially

 

[RangersFan1994]

Montreal easily beats that with 26th.

Kakko +30th for McGroarty

 

[HabsCode]

Kakko +30th for McGroarty

Mailloux + 26th for McGroarty

Well, skill-wise, he brings something that almost none of our prospects do. He may not have the ceiling that Savoie has, but I think he has a solid floor. He also had a great season in the NCAA.

Idk, the only rumors are that the guy wants to play in the NHL, and the problem is not specifically in the city or the team.

Well we can also extend him, I just know that Adams is looking for a top 6 forward and there are different good options. I think Ehlers is a good fit.

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

I think we'd be looking for upgrades to the NHL roster for Rutger.

We're all in on winning, don't have time to rest the clock on a brand new pick for the Helle window.

 

[Buffdog]

Just because Chevy has no leverage with Rutger doesn't mean that he doesn't have leverage with other teams

If only one team was in play, there'd be that issue. I'm sure just about every GM is interested in a prospect like Mcgroarty

Mike Matheson.

 

[Legion34]

Where would he rank in this years draft ball park?

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Mike Matheson.

I'd rather go for Chychrun if Matheson was the best available from Montreal

 

[CanMerc]

Mailloux + 26th for McGroarty

Nope… Mallioux is a no

 

[Kiwi]

Cowan (brilliant draft + 1 year) straight up
Or
#23 2024 + Minten (prospect center) + Liljegren (cheap at least bottom pair RD)

For a McGoarty

 

[CanMerc]

I'd rather go for Chychrun if Matheson was the best available from Montreal

Don’t need LHD

 

[HabsCode]

Don’t need LHD

What does WPG need?

 

[CanMerc]

What does WPG need?

2C and top 4 RHD

 

[Heldig]

What does WPG need?

Apparently better development and the willingness to gift players roster spots.

That and a #2 C and some RHD.

 

[Taze em]

Kurashev+34 from Hawks. Kurashev+Reichel.
18+ reichel
Selke Dickinson
Taylor Hall
I mean whatever, If they weren’t a 2022/2023 first round pick, it’s available from hawks.

He's American and they're situated in Winnipeg, MB. I'm sure Winnipeg knew he wasn't gonna sign and they were just so confident he was BPA that they figured they could get more by trading him than they could by picking someone else, similar on a much smaller scale to Quebec drafting Lindros's trade value instead of a player.

 

[These Are The Days]

I am no shit expecting this guy to demand a trade to the NYR or just sign with them because that's so often how it goes

if you had read the thread you would have figured out that this isn't about playing in winnipeg and has to do with wanting to be in the nhl asap

 

[Juxtaposer]

On one hand, I don’t like the idea that a 20 year old wants to force his way out because he wanted to be handed an NHL roster spot instead of earning it. On the other hand, Winnipeg has been dicking their top prospects around for years, so I kinda understand where McGroarty is coming from…
