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

[garret9]

PSSSHT

what other than explaining CHIP has Hank ever done for the common HFJeters...

Vote for Garret. Vote for anarchy.

Definitely salary. You can see Pekka Rinne's big ol' contract in there.

And while I'm willing to grant a degree of correlation between salary and role, that graph isn't going to give much weight to depth players (like Slater or Clitsome) or prospects. I believe Trouba was already a top four D when he went out for 17 games.

For forwards and D you can get a pretty good idea for impact though. Ya there will be lil' bits here and there but the most part it will be along the lines for what CapHit is.

Goaltenders though it doesn't work. Sv% and CapHit is almost a flat line across.

We certainly cannot complain about injuries this year:

can kinda see where it has and hasn't hurt us:

 

[Hank Chinaski]

"Look at me everybody! I'm Hank! I'm dark blue! I know eeeevverything!!"

Please don't fire me

"Fire" would imply that we actually pay you.

What is the state of the Jets?

What situation are the Jets in right now? Are they good enough that they'll keep adding pieces to hopefully put together a cup run? Are they in a selling mode? What are the strength's & weakness' of the organization?

Habs fan here would love to get Byfuglien in MTL (as I'm sure are all the other teams in the league).

No official word or anything from the team, but a guess is that they will likely try to trade a UFA or two (Seto and Olli most likely), and if I had to guess, re sign Stuart either in the season or off season.

Buff "may" be available, or Chevy could wait until the off season where there would be more teams involved in the bidding due to increased cap space.

In any event, Buff wouldn't be moved for spare parts.

Jets - Lightning swap

To Tampa:

Dustin Byfuglien


To Winnipeg:

Jonathan Drouin


I would have posted this in the "trades n rumours" thread but I wanted to appeal to a broader audience. I think this trade works for both teams, and is relatively fair. Yes Drouin has a higher ceiling, but he is small, and unproven. He hasn't blown away Tampa management as far as getting sent back to Halifax. If we had to add a jimmy lodge and/or a 2nd or 3rd rounder, so be it.

Thoughts?

In our dreams haha

Lol thank god few Tampa fans visit these dark corners of the HFboards.

 

[CorgisPer60]

I think you're underselling Drouin's potential and how high TBL are on him. There's very little realistic chance of that deal working.

 

[JC Numminen]

I would do it in a heartbeat

Tampa fans would attack us though

 

[SCP Guy]

Sorry Tampa fans no takies backies......what's done is done

 

[tbcwpg]

Haha out does the standard Duchene proposals

 

[buggs]

I'm in for it. I guess this Drouin kid has a shot at playing a few minutes.

 

[DancesWithWookies]

I would add this years first, and a combination of prospects like Petan, Redmond, Postma, Morrisey etc. That with Buff would probably be fair. But would help their playoff run this year though.

 

[hockey-brent]

Wow.

No.

 

[Huffer]

Jebus.

We don't have any talk here about the Lightning, and then the same day I bring up the lightning as a potential destination for Buff we have this train wreck and another joke proposal dealing away Bogo in the trade forum? Coincidence?

If the Lightning wanted Buff, the Jets are not getting Drouin.

Johnson, Palat, Killorn, Kucherov, Nameestnikov, Connolly, Panik, Koekkoek, would be the names I would think Chevy would want.

I would personally put Palat and Killorn at the top of my own list. Getting both would be crazy, but getting one and possibly one of Connolly, Panik, Koekkoek, or a pick would be pretty good too.

Palat was drafted as an overage prospect in the 7th round, 208th overall in 2011 after putting up 96 points in 61 games for Drummondville. What a find, he has 34 points in 58 games this season for the Lightning

And he's also playing in the Olympics.

Not that I wasn't before after seeing the Jets pick up guys like Lipon and Kichton as overagers, but I am really on board with this strategy in the middle to later rounds.

 

[koth]

We already traded Buff to Buffalo for Vanek, so this deal wouldn't work.

I'd ask for Eller + from MTL, then move Little back to wing and move Frolik back down where he belongs. Trouba can be the PP QB and Scheifele will be the #1 C once he's ready

 

[Duir]

I see where this is going. Buff for Drouin, then Drouin for your man-love Duchene.

I'm willing to bet you already tried this on NHL '14!

Stamkos for Buff, Scheifele and a top 3 1st.

What? It worked on NHL 14!

LOL, you missed a step.
It's Buff to Buffalo (where they will name the city after him) for Vanek, then Vanek to Tampa for Drouin, then Drouin to Colorado for Duchene.
it's gonna happen for sure.

If that was actually possible, would you do it?
