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

[VictoriaJetsFan]

What about something like McGroarty to Seattle for Jared Mccann?

Seattle shouldn't dwell too much on their unlikely 2nd round playoff run last year and shouldn't make the mistake of thinking they are a win-now team. McGroarty is a significant boost to their prospect pool and a cost-controlled asset for years to come assuming he's happy to be there.

Mccann is only 28, has 2 years left on his deal, and gives Winnipeg an excellent #2 C option to bolster their roster and stay in "win-now" mode.

No

Curious. He fits a need, locked in cheap for 3 more years, no NTC until the weekend.
Re-up DeMelo and move Samberg up and our T4 looks substantially better than last year.

We can do better than Marino.

No


We can do better than Marino.

A second pairing defensive defender with good analytics signed for cheap and 3 more years? What more are you expecting?
Barring getting someone like Jiricek out of Columbus, Marino kind of fits the Bill of what we need and fits our timeline.

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

I love the Ehlers/McGroarity for Hotz/10th/Marino.

Holtz at times looks ready to bust out and the 10th presents a chance to add an impact defenceman. Very very tempting offer.

I like McGroarity for Rossi as well, he fits well for now and in the future.

An upgrade on Monahan as well.
Or sign Monahan and roll with Schief/Rossi/monahan/Lowry.

That is awesome centre depth.

McGroarity to Ottawa for Ridley Greig? Throw in Ehlers and really get something back.

The good news is Chevy is a shrewd trader even when put under the gun like this. In fact, this may be the kick in the pants he needs to force him to take some initiative.

 

[sensfan4lifee]

What would it take from the Sens?

something around Chychrun + for him?

Chychrun + 25th for Mcgroarty and Iafallo?

 

[thestonedkoala]

Spurgeon, Rossi and a 2nd for Schmidt, Elhers and McGroarty

 

[Snowman]

One year of an LHD that isn't needed, is not doing it for Winnipeg I'd imagine.

 

[Sleeper Shark]

From Carolina, I was thinking

Necas
1st

for
McGroarty
Ehlers
Take Schmidt's contract


But sounds like Necas is going to Nashville?

Basis of the trade seems to be (based on reports):

Ehlers
McGroarty
(possibly Schmidt's contract)

for
Ehlers replacement and/or Top 4 RHD
1st round pick

Ottawa, Carolina seem to fit that (off of the top of my head). I'm sure there are others

Is it crazy to think that the Sharks might be a fit given these parameters? 14OA + Ferraro for Ehlers, McGroarty, and Schmidt's contract dump?

Value-wise, this skews towards the Sharks, but with Winnipeg up against the cap, I'm not sure how much value taking on Schmidt's contract brings.

 

[miscs75]

Any chance he’ll get included in a deal with Ehlers?

 

[gojetsgo]

doubt it

 

[miscs75]

doubt it

Would be an interesting one if both were included together. I’m curious what would work from the Islanders to make it happen. Value might be too high though but it seems like Lou is trying to make a deal for Ehlers on his own.

I’m hoping the Sharks can snag McGroarty.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Perfetti is 22 and has already played 140 NHL games. Such a terrible use of a young prospect...

Playing him 1 game in the playoffs got Sullivan so hard.

 

[Hunter368]

Any chance he’ll get included in a deal with Ehlers?

Possibly

 

[Honour Over Glory]

What you're missing is that Perfetti has been as soft as Charmin for most of the time he has been with the Jets. He was a little better for part of this year but still needs to do more to become a complete player.

Comes with coaching though doesn't it? What McGroarty also mentioned was development plan. So there's something they clearly told him he needed to do or the plan they had that he felt was not aligned with what they told him before.

 

[NikolaTesla]

The problem is I seriously doubt McGroarty is going to be valuing playing in Canada if he controls this process.

There needs to be a rule to prevent young players to refuse to sign a contract to the team who drafted them. Something like 25% of his salary with his new team goes to the team that drafted him. The draft order and salary cap's main goal is to add parity. Young teenagers shouldnt have that much control. If they want the control, give up a part of your paycheck.

If he is, and Ehlers has an extension agreed to, the return is gonna hurt like hell

Should teams have to pay prospects they never sign?

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Would love him with the Habs if he wants to play in Canada

This is really gross, I'm trying to figure out how you typed this out and hit post and didn't ever second guess yourself at all

 

[CanMerc]

Would depend on the return

I think that there is a solution to this somewhere, but that ain't it.

 

[thedjpd]

I think that there is a solution to this somewhere, but that ain't it.

I mean the solution seems pretty simple. You don’t play if you don’t have a contract and the team owns your rights until 25 like any other league (or whatever those terms are).

Every other situation has players having to wait until 25, why 22 for NCAA?

This….play for who drafted you, or don’t play at all

I mean they can play, they can do their 4 years and go overseas and all that, but NHL rights are held by drafting teams until 25 - just like if you came from CHL, juniors whatever.

There's obviously a reason why the exception is in there in the first place. I think it's something about being able to sign the pro contract. Maybe that can go away with NIL stuff, I don't know.
