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

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

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

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.
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.

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

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

Apparently better development and the willingness to gift players roster spots.
That and a #2 C and some RHD.
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.

I need about tree fiddy
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

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…
