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

[SannywithoutCompy]

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...

Like Fox getting traded for 2 2nds? They'll get value sure, but not close to what he's worth.

WPG gets:
Drysdale/York
#31/#32 pick
Laughton

Phila gets:
McGroarty
Jets 2nd 2024
Jets 1st 2025

Except....it's NEVER going to happen.

Two of the best sources of humour are non Hab fans who think they are so smart that they can steal whatever they dream of...or ignorant Hab fans who are clueless on the value of players.

Beck is going straight to 3C service with 2C upside and Mailioux just had a fantastic season in Laval with the third highest point for defenseman in the AHL. He's an offensive RHD with size and toughness. Neither is getting traded for magic beans.

Moving on...

One team's prospect is "magic beans" and the habs'? Sure things.

What if the kid prefers to play on only one team though and it’s not the one trading for him? Clearly any club trading for him would need to speak to him first to make sure he’d sign or they’re just wasting assets.

I think nobody will trade for him without him in agreeing on signing.

McGroarty and Gauthier are good buddies, I don't think this would work out very well for Philly.

I have drysdale>McGroarty

Laughton fors not have that value.

Yeah I'd imagine if the issue really is that he wants a top 9 spot out of the gate. Then the Jets would likely negotiate a sign and trade situation. If not it's gonna be tougher, he still has 2 more years left so it's possible even if he's traded he walks in 2 years. But Jets will do the due diligence to ensure both parties get their players.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Caps 1st (#17) and LHD Vincent Iorio
For
Rights to McGroarty.

wasn't fox only willing to sign with the rangers?

 

[Digitalbooya]

Something around Rossi and McGroarty

 

[ColbyChaos]

And Philadelphia.

Carolina too

I guess we can't forget about Justin Schultz in Anaheim either

But I understand the point you're trying to make. Canada sucks and is undeserving

Schultz didn’t want to compete on an Anaheim Dcore that was already full with Fowler, Lindholm, Montour, Theodore, Depres (before concussions ruined him) Vattanen, among others I’m forgetting on the actual roster at that point

With him a 1st, he would come with compensation in 2nd (same spot where picked in first) if unsigned.

Thrun is another recent guy for Anaheim…. Didn’t want to have to try to jump our depth.

I have a feeling moore will choose same route next season too

A few points...

Friedman said the McGroarty camp and the Jets weren't talking to him. They are certainly talking to each other, especially if a trade is brewing.

Jets not fast-tracking McGroarty was an indication that the Jets are maybe not as high on his short-term potential as many fans.

Jets' prospect pool is full of wingers, and they need more high-end D and C prospects / young players. So, it's plausible that the Jets are not averse to trading McGroarty since he's a valuable asset, and that might be why they didn't sign him (bad PR, etc.).

Jets reportedly also have Ehlers in trade talks, so they are considering some major trades / shake-ups, and McGroarty would open up a wider set of possibilities, maybe even packaging Ehlers and McGroarty.

CBJ have McGroarty's college linemates in Fantilli and Brindley. They also have a ton of assets that would interest the Jets, including Mateychuk and maybe Sillinger.

Remember that the Canes tried to acquire Ehlers while Waddell was their GM. Could they consider an Ehlers-Laine reunion, if they can't trade Laine?

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

What is he worth in the draft next week? I’d love to get him in NJ but other Devils fans are telling me #10 is too much. What would Winnipeg need to add?

 

[OVO16]

20-year-old physical Power forward who has the potential to be a bonafide top 6 player....and was a leafs fan growing up....and said his favorite player in the world is Auston Mathews?

Is Treliving about to make a huge offer for this kid?

 

[Fatass]

I think nobody will trade for him without him in agreeing on signing.

Agreed. And imo, if he is only wanting to go to one specific club his value is reduced to what that club is will to pay to get him 2 years early.

Leafs sure could use a player like this right now. Cheap contract is very important with their current cap constraints. Not too sure if Chevy values much that the Leafs might offer though?

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I think all of these offers being made are pointless, this seems like a situation where he wants to pick where he plays.

this seems like a situation where a player wants a spot on an nhl roster instead of starting in the ahl

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

NJ has L Hughes, S Casey and E Edwards all in the system from that Michigan team and have the 10OA pick. Be aggressive NJ.

 

[LaffyTaffy13]

These kids arent idiots. If a 19-21 year old can pick anywhere to live while making millions it’s NYC. Its why the rangers have an unfair advantage in these situations

Fox was from New York, close to home. Mcgroarty is from Nebraska. If he wants to play close to home, that would be Chicago, Detroit or Minnesota.

Hes also 20 years old and probably talks to people around the league who know theres no place better to live in your 20’s than nyc.

Pair that with being a millionaire athlete and your bedroom door is a turnstile

 

[Legion34]

Grew up a leafs fan. Says it would be a dream to play with Matthews.
spent time in Toronto and says he is comfortable there
