IIRC, It was said that he's 90% chance of coming over next year.
And he’s a right hand shot!!!!

I dont understand.Lookie here, lookie here, a hockey player who raises his game in the playoffs!
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...He should be given every sheltered chance at an NHL role and if he's not ready, that's fine. But give him a serious shot.
Extend Demelo.
Thank Dillon for bleeding for us and wish him the best.

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

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 historyIt'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...

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.
Pionk to Moose, buyout or trade with 50% retention. Stanley trade.Extend Demelo.

Quality Ted Lasso reference.IIRC the Skelleftea coach had mentioned that he was likely heading to Winnipeg next year.
But I do have the short term memory of a goldfish.
Get rid of Pionk and Stanley.Extend Demelo.

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).
Capo 100% deserves to be our third pairing next year... prob paired with Heinola to start... Samberg replaces DillonIt did work this season, more than once.

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.Extend Demelo.

There are some very good ones at the top end of the draft this summer.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
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)?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.

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 $$$.
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?
