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

[Heldig]

Isn't he from Michigan?

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

Nate Danielson was mentioned. Probably worth more than McGroarty ( a bit). Jets have no draft picks to add though.

Who mentioned that?

SY would be crazy...it's not that it's not fair but if a prospect wont sign the team losses all leverage

It sucks but it's business

funny how often it gets stated that teams lose leverage around here only for that team to get good value on the trades

Prob lose some value, depending on how many teams he’s open to and what not. But he’ll still get a solid haul.

Somewhere in one of the threads about this...

The team has 2 years of control still. They still have leverage. Look at what Briere was able to get for Gauthier.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I wonder if it's a Canada/Winnipeg thing, or more of a 'they wouldn't sign me' thing. If I'm remembering correctly, it wasn't fully his preference to stay in college right?

I think it's more that he wants a spot in the nhl and would most likely be in the ahl next year

I feel like it’s prob closer to a gauthier situation than a I don’t want to play for scenario

Are you saying next year as in 2025-26?

 

[MrNasty]

This feels like the start of a Zegras for McGroarty trade.

Didn’t Briere thank everyone for keeping their mouths shut because if it got out they would’ve lost value?

I think if there’s more than one team bidding the price can get driven up to where it belongs but generally I do think you lose some when it goes public a guy won’t play for you. McGroarty probably doesn’t want to wait them out for two years so it makes it interesting how his side may try to apply pressure to make it happen early.

100%

For every Gauthier theirs a Fox...

Guess it depends on which side you're hoping for

I'm saying if he were to sign with the jets today he would most likely play the next season with the moose, he wants a spot on the jets roster next year and the jets might not have a spot for him

Oh. I thought that decision was already made.

I was thinking that it was the idea of after he played this upcoming year, there still wouldn't be an NHL spot for him, which would be pretty ridiculous.

Andrew Copp and Detroit’s 1st in 2025, top 12 protected.

No way Detroit trades Danielson.

 

[gojetsgo]

Andrew Copp and Detroit’s 1st in 2025, top 12 protected.

hell no

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

hell no

Ok, no top 12 protection. Just Copp and a 1st.

 

[gojetsgo]

no interest in copp at all

 

[Xoggz22]

Would likely be a great fit in Columbus. Former Michigan teammates and they have assets to move. No clue on value so I won't try, just seems like a potential fit

 

[CBJx614]

So Columbus?

I'm pretty sure we have more Michigan natives than y'all.

Hell even our GM is from Detroit

Ya I’d assume columbus, Anaheim, Detroit are spots he’d gladly go , if he has a say in it

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

McGroarty and picks for Necas, as a base, could work out if Ehlers and Carolina cannot agree on an extension. Two disgruntled players who have potentially put in trade requests.

 

[Oscar The Grouch]

Stop drafting American kids with dumb names.

 

[Peen]

Wonder what the highest pick they’d take straight up would be

 

[Captain97]

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

I'm confused by this narrative, I've read conflicting reports about this draft. Why are some people saying it's Weak?
