Speculation: Jets - General Rumour, Trade, Free Agent and Waiver Speculation (Part XIV)

[Thesaurus]

Last night, I had a dream that Bozak signed with us.

Good thing it was only just a dream. Apparently he wants 8 years/$40m.

Any interest in TJ Galiardi? Useful young 3rd line LW.

No. He's nothing special, more of a complimentary piece. Put up ok stats only because he was attached to Thornton by the hip. Since Jets already have Ladd and Kane, he'd go to 3rd line LW. Jets don't have any scorers on 3rd line, so Galiardi would be pretty ineffective. He's probably going to try the Sharks in salary arb, so he's looking to be paid more than he's worth.

Sounds like a nightmare to me.

He's awful.

Any interest in moose? He has a 1.4m cap hit, and rather unspectacular numbers last year.

He played more games last season than Montoya, that's for sure.

I didn't know messier was still playing

Forgive my ignorance, but who is that?

Johan Hedberg

It's actually very connected to this city and franchise

I had considered typing nightmare instead!

Calling him awful is a bit much but I don't want him here either way.

Noel wouldn't know what to do with him; gotta play Ondrej all the time every time.

 

[Sweech]

I'd say he got hot. Didn't pay attention to him a lot last year, but I did this year and he was quite good in the regular season. Against good teams in the playoffs though he fell apart and had to be bailed out by his team quite a bit.

I think you could just look up the game sheets and know that's not true.

RFA qualifying offers must be in by tomorrow. Anyone hear anything about who might have gotten offers yet?

 

[King Woodballs]

I have not read a thing
But I haven't heard a thing from allot of teams

I was interested in scooping up Clarkson, but then I found this:

TOP-TEN THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT DAVID CLARKSON

1) He falls down a lot

2) He's a deceptively talented fighter, but now that he thinks he's an Art Ross Trophy candidate, he doesn't fight anymore.

3) He has two offensive moves, and two offensive moves only:
Move a) Wrap-around
Move b) Toe-drag

4) He will shoot from the parking lot (of the practice rink arena).

5) He is physically incapable of passing, a born puck hog (GENUS: Sus SPECIES: Puckhogicus).

6) He seems like a genuinely nice young man.

7) On or off the ice, he is not a threat to cure cancer.

8) There are a handful of NHL GMs that seem to have a raging boner in their pants for him.

9) He's always the last player off the ice and shoots a puck into the open net before games.

10) He once scored 30 goals in a season (and he will never do it again, and once he realizes that, he will be a very effective player again).

bold emphasis mine. Maybe he would not be a good linemate with Kane, I think they would get upset with each other. Would need a very good puck distributing center with them. Jokinen is not that.

I'm going to guess everyone but Tangradi. I think he's as good as gone. If Kulda gets one, he may accept it. Redmond may as well. I don't think anyone else will. Raises all around.

 

[Sweech]

So Ballard is on waivers.

Despite the flak he gets I'd actually consider putting in a claim and making Ballard-Bogosian our solid tough minutes pairing. Or we could wait it out and see if they put him on waivers for a buyout and attempt to get him cheaper through FA.

 

[allan5oh]

How comfortable would you guys be with picking up no D-men in UFA or trades?

Enstrom - Buff
Kulda - Bogosian
Stuart - Redmond
Postma

Trouba as emergency callup

I really think Kulda is gone. For whatever reason we just don't really utilize the kid.

Tangradi? Really? He will assuredly get a QO he played decent enough last year. Why not at least qualify him, at worst hes decent depth in st. Johns if he clears waivers.

Yeah, I agree. He's a proven AHL stud and I'm willing to give him more time. He actually looked to be coming along really nicely towards the end of the season.

I'd resign him and Antropov (depending on what he wants) and send Thorburn FINALLLYYYYYY down.

BTW: Sweech whats up with your avatar? It looks all ugly and ****.

Chevy said last week he had reached out to all RFA, so it sounded like we'd welcome Tangradi back if he accepted whatever Chevy was offering. Now, given how unproven and unproductive Tangradi is and has been as an NHL'er to date, it's possible Chevy only offers him a two-way contract. We'll see.

I hear Chevy is dropping them in the mail this afternoon. Fingers crossed he gets the postage right.

My guess is that Max Mace, Jason Gregs and Carrozzi get their walking papers.

I was talking mostly about NHL guys, but I agree Carrozzi for sure, not sure about the other two.
