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

[JustAHabFan]

doubt the jets would have much interest in a future first, probably looking at prospects or young players atp

In your opinion, would a swap of Mailloux for Mcgoarty work?

100% no

 

[broc]

Now that 2024 1sts are out of play, Rossi still make some sense, so I wonder if we see that tomorrow. Otherwise the Wild are probably out on this one.

No thanks on Rossi

No…we don’t want Mailloux…at all, in any fashion

Wouldn’t be my first choice, but could work

 

[Michoulicious]

If Hage was not there at #21, McGroarty was a Hab.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

What??

 

[CanMerc]

If Hage was not there at #21, McGroarty was a Hab.

Why?

 

[Digital Kid]

The Jets don't need to rush a trade. They have two years to get it done. If nothing suitable presents itself, and maybe something will after Free Agent Frenzy and rosters are more established, maybe then. Or next draft.

 

[Michoulicious]

Why?

Kent said they had a trade agreed upon if Hage wasn't there. Montreal was in on McGroarty according to many sources.

Read between the lines.

Highly doubtful…lots of teams are in on McG some with likely better possible returns than #21
Jets should be targeting players as close to ready as possible…not picks…I’m thinking McG likely gets packaged with Ehlers for a big swing over 2 smaller trades

Never said it was the only piece, but the #21 was certainly involved.

I think Montreal is out now, yesterday they were the frontrunner, I think the deal was agreed upon if Hage was not there.

Maybe they revisit for players today, who knows. Barron is of interest for Winnipeg, not sure Hughes is that interested to move him. Would need more as well.

Would need a lot more than Barron.. and I doubt MTL was a front runner with #21

 

[Michoulicious]

I agree. I think #21 + Barron was certainly in the ballpark.

Now that #21 is gone, I don't think it is possible anymore.

 

[MW6]

I think a lot of people are going to be surprised McG won’t bring back a high first + an A prospect. WPG doesn’t have to trade him, but they don’t have leverage either as it’s public knowledge that he wants out.

 

[Jbcraig1883]

Sorry if this was already discussed - WPG have any interest in revisiting the trade with MN with Heidt as the starting piece? Heidt+Lambos?

 

[Mrfenn92]

Chevy has done well in trades with guys who “had” to be moved

 

[The Great Weal]

100% no

I doubt the Habs make that trade either for whatever is worth. Mailloux's skating/size/tools are too intriguing to trade away. Still think Columbus makes the most sense for McGroarty. He's obviously familiar with Fantilli/Brindley, and adds to the size factor upfront that Columbus has valued in Fantilli/Lindstrom. I'm sure Sillinger/Johnson are pieces that make way more sense for the Jets than picks/prospects that pretty much every other team is likely offering.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

And those guys who "had" to be moved have moved on from the teams that acquired them, or will be moving on (Laine)

Not really anything of need there, from a WPG perspective

 

[Beendair Donedat]

What are the Jets needs/wants in a McGroarty return? I know the Habs are interested, what is a realistic ask from the Winnipeg side?

C or RD prospects. Guhle would get it done.

It's already been established that:
-Mailloux is not Jets material based on character
-Barron is an add-in piece, nothing more
-Xhekaj is the same
-Hutson isn't likely to be an ideal solution

There will be a bidding war and Chevy won't make a bad deal for the sake of making a deal. If anything, this incident has increased Rutger's value since everyone knows he's available.

That's what I was thinking, he is really patient and seems to get good value in tough situations. Suspect that doesn't change for this trade.

glad to to read Guhle would get it done.
You better be adding a lot more to McGroarty
for that to happen

[RandomJetsFan]

I get that this kid wants out of the jets system it's annoying that some hab fans want him for dirt cheap thinking cause it's public knowledge Rutger wants to be traded. I'm just curious how long til those same fans or going to be take what we give or we just wait til he's a free agent then we can just get him for free. I get not all hab fans are the same and that every fan base has those few bad apples. Sorry for the nothing rant and not adding anything of value here.

…or we’ll trade him elsewhere? There is no shortage teams who want him and we’re not beholden to Montreal lowballs. If you won’t pay what it takes, keep moving.
