There might be some openings at RD...but I'd be a bit surprised if the Jets didn't put him in the AHL next year. If DeMelo and Dillon both leave that makes Pionk #1RD, God help us...

Stanley shouldn't see another game with the Jets either.

I think he's fine as a 7D who gets sheltered games vs slower teams. The Avs have exposed his lack of foot speed this series tho
It's the Tobias Funke "...but it might work for us!" meme with Coaches and Stanley. They just can't resist putting his big 6'7" frame into the lineup...

It did work this season, more than once. Stanley had multiple games where he looked like a capable bottom pairing dman. But I guess this will be the time of the year for cognitive dissonance and revisionist history

He's a fine bottom pairing defenseman in limited minutes in a system where he doesn't have to read and react to the game in front of him. He needs a very structured system to be effective. His ceiling is so obscenely low that he hits his head on it just by standing still.
The dude's been given 139 regular season and 12 of the last 18 Jets playoff games.
He's never made it out of the sheltered 3rd pairing role and has seen mixed results over the years.
He's cost the team two defensemen who were arguably at least equivalent value (Kovacevic and Chisholm).
Bones was so horny to get him in there against the Avs (?!) that he moved Samberg to his off side to accommodate this allegedly capable bottom pairing dman - and the results speak for themselves.
This org needs a coach, some skaters, a goalie, and a Beaulieu.
Stanley has become the latest in our line of Nathan Beaulieus.
Mediocre to poor in any given aspect of the game at any given time, prone to panic plays and penalties, but can look legit in certain very specific circumstances, was once a first-round pick, and will fight.
However crap we imagine Kovy and Chisholm to be, each seems to have been more consistently effective than Logan Stanley.
But neither could have been the New Beaulieu.

Pionk to Moose, buyout or trade with 50% retention. Stanley trade.
Extend Demelo.
Promote Heinola.
Target an older but good UFA who can still play to bridge gap until Salomonsson is ready. Or take a swing at Walker.

Moose coach Mark Morrison on the Jets draft picks:
We spoke to all of the prospects on the Moose which I'll be putting out (with Jets media day on Thursday will most likely start on weekend).

I wonder how the coaches really feel as if they are super positive bout all the players, which why wouldn’t they be, sure they are all good kids, not all of them have a future in the NHL.

Capo 100% deserves to be our third pairing next year... prob paired with Heinola to start... Samberg replaces Dillon
Jets need to start focusing on RHD in the draft... they are a sparse commodity

If its between keeping one of Demelo and Brendan D, I prefer keeping Brendan D and looking to upgrade on Demelo with a legit top pairing dman.
Demelo is probably a 3rd pairing dman on a Stanley Cup challending team, but he is going to be looking for top pairing $$ as that was his role with us.
There are some very good ones at the top end of the draft this summer.
Which legit top pairing right-shooting D is the one you would sign? Does he have a family that is excited about moving to Winnipeg? What does that contract look like? Who do we need to sacrifice to stay under the cap (in addition to Demelo)?

DeMelo might be a 2nd pair Dman in a good D corps - or 3rd. But he has been playing on the top pair in Wpg and doing so successfully. So I agree that he is going to want more $$$.
But we can't just snap our fingers and upgrade to a true top pair RHD.
I think Samberg surpasses Dillon next year to play 2nd pair. Much as I might like to keep Dillon around, he will be paid too much for a 3rd pair Dman.
I'd be happy to leave DeMelo with JMo. They have worked well together. Upgrade on Pionk at 2RD.
If we could just get what we want I'd go with:Morrissey - real 1RD x
Samberg - real 2RD y
Heinola - real 3RD z
How about at 37?

I think the Wheat Kings have a guy around there, an RHD. I think his surname is Elick, or something like that.DeMelo might be a 2nd pair Dman in a good D corps - or 3rd. But he has been playing on the top pair in Wpg and doing so successfully. So I agree that he is going to want more $$$.

Pay him like a good 2RD. 3 or 4 years x 4-4.5 mil.
I'd rather limit the term to 3 years. He just turned 31 yesterday so he would be 34 when that ended. So probably need to go to 4.5 to get that term. If he regresses and ends up playing 3RD for some part of that term it is still tolerable compared to paying near 6 mil for a 3rd pair D for a few years.
That is still not 1st pair money. If someone else wants to pay more we might have to part ways. Is some other GM going to pay him 5.5-6 mil because they know he has played top pair here?
