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

[absolute garbage]

absolute garbage offer

You just said Reichel and 18th was a "legit offer" and then you call that garbage? Hello? Those are very similar.

Idk if you were making a joke cause of his name…. But luneau is a pretty legit rhd prospect…. Who looked great in his nhl time already as a 19 year old.

I wouldn’t trade luneau 1 for 1 for Mcgroaty

 

[Hunter368]

That's not what was said.

Friedman said he reached out for comment, but the family advisor for Rutger isn't talking and the Jets aren't talking, but he's (Friedman) has heard his (Rutger) name in trade talks.

Correct

The thread title and opening post is misleading that’s why I added the actual 32 thoughts, but apparently no one listened to it

 

[gojetsgo]

really don't think the jets would have interest in a mid first from a weak draft, all the moves we have done were to try to be competitive

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

To Chicago:

-the rights to Rutger McGroarty

To Winnipeg:

-2024 1st round pick (18th overall)
-Lukas Reichel

This would be intriguing to say the least and from the outside seems very reasonable.

absolute garbage offer

Luneau is a pretty good d prospect, so I don't see how it's garbage ?

It's another solid offer.

 

[CBJx614]

He wants to come play with Fantilli and Brindley

Personally I can’t see luneau being available due to our lack of RHD, the the org loves luneau, and think he has top pairing upside.

Def wouldn’t add a 1st to him for Mcgroaty either

Nope. His value did not drop since his draft. And I dont see any prospects/young players that are worth it from the Islanders.

His value dropped when he refused to sign. Winnipeg does not have the leverage here.

 

[Legion34]

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

Why? Toronto gets many ncaa American players to sign as ufa each year.

Montreal just signed Hutson.

it's funny how often this line gets thrown around here only to find out that the team trading did actually get value for the player...

You are making huge assumptions. We dont know he refused to sign or is refusing to sign (ever). Yes, he chose to go back to school. That is what we know.

Doubtful they would trade him in division regardless.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

How about Hawks 2025 1st with just 1st overall protection? Lands anywhere else and its Jets

If Hawks end up with 1st overall in 2025 they get Hawks 2026 1st unprotected

 

[Satanphonehome]

It’s pretty much guaranteed on HFBoards that 2 years later the value of 80 per cent of prospects has gone up for that team’s fan base and dropped for everyone else’s.

If this kid gets traded to a team he likes, does he have to go back for his junior year or can he sign an ELC right away?

he can sign his ELC.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

If I'm the Jets, I probably want a useful player that's under contract back.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Isn't he from Michigan?

Well, if so, the mystery of where he would want to go and sign is solved...

 

[gojetsgo]

100%, especially because this draft doesn't seem to be very good at all

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Like to see NJ get on this if it's true....

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Rutger went back to the NCAA for a third year because he had no direct route to the big club. Chevy slow-cooks all of his prospects and wouldn't have promoted him from the Moose this coming year. While I hope there's just nothing to say between the two camps right now, it is what it is. I'd rather not do a deal right now since his stock isn't going to decline.

Connor McMichael?

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Hmm well Detroit would probably be interested if he's available. Maybe a deal one for one with Marco Kasper going to Winnipeg. Projects as a 2nd line center.

Don't see SY moving Kasper for him

If he wants Detroit a 2nd plus meh prospect is all it would cost

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Disagree with that. I'm actually pretty stoked to have my team picking 13th.

 

[CanadienShark]

With a name like that I'd expect him to be over 150 years old and long since passed away, so no surprise they aren't talking unless the Jets are necromancers.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Connor McMichael?

I'd probably aim a little higher.
