The NY Rangers ears are ringing
Another Nebraska kid. Im sure Jed Ortmeyer is well acquainted with him. That doesn't provide any leverage though.
Friedman: Jets and Rutger McGroarty are not talking - his name is coming up in trade talks

The name always sounds like such an indecent act in the bedroom.

Sounds like Brock Nelson and Ryan Pulock. Not advocating this as I believe both players have trade protection. I always had a soft spot for the Jets. Great people, solid organization, and a small and passionate fan base. Not crazy about when players push this, IF this is true.

Hockey fans already know the name, but this is not the blog. From Sportsnet, 32 Thoughts: The Podcast with NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman & Kyle Bukauskas is a weekly deep dive into the biggest news and interviews from the hockey world.www.sportsnet.ca
Listen to the actual comments a bit more insightful
Jets needs are 2C and top 4 RHD
This is a tough situation. As a Flames fan we saw this with 2 prospects who both went to the Rags. One of them won a Norris trophy. It's why I think you've got to find players who care about hockey in Canada. Not how close broadway stage productions are.

from the reports that came out it's not that he doesn't want to play in winnipeg or he wants to choose where he plays, he just wants a spot on an nhl roster
Oh well that's a fair ask. If the Jets won't do that I think he should pursue other options. Just don't see why they wouldn't.

not this season, unless he came to training camp and earned one but he seems like he doesn't want to go to the moose if he couldn't

Very strange he looked happy on draft day. They certainly have a spot for him too.
You have to admit Habs fans were right to lowball for Dubois the Kings already gave up.

Here’s hoping the Jets can just fix it. Give the guy a roster spot, he’s likely viable in the top 9.
I’d absolutely hate to lose this guy.

For not signing/reporting to the team who spent assets in drafting and developing them.
The players are pretty well protected in the NHL as far as teams deciding they don't want a certain player. The contracts are guaranteed...

No thanks…trade him and get a player that fills a need now… mcg isn’t ready and is showing his personality… one we don’t need or want in the room

He just wants to play, the Jets are incredibly patient letting prospects develop, almost let them develop too long in cases.
Jets were right not to take low ball offers from anyone onPLD, they got a great return.

Man I love those players who achieved nothing in the NHL that got drafted and don't want to play in a specific town.
Most offers were fair considering the guy is about to cash in. Same with Necas, they are good not great players about/wanting to get paid. Hence why their teams want to trade them in the first place.

Here for the hot takes
If the choice is between re-signing Monahan to be our 2C and losing Rutger as a result, you don't re-sign Monahan. Take a chance with the kids - Heinola, McGroarty & Lambert this year. We need some excitement.

Monahan shouldn’t be re-signed regardless…should never have been acquired to begin with.
RM should be traded… he’s showing his personality/attitude and it’s not what we need

I don't think it will be too hard for a team to sign him, you will just need an open spot for him

Can you blame him?
All his friends were guaranteed roster spots. Cooley, Gauthier, Fantilli, Hughes, Nazar
