Confirmed with Link: Mason appleton back! for a 2023 4th

[Guardian17]

Here's how the guys at Illegal Curve found out.

 

[Bob E]

Good start to TDL day for Chevy. Now get a 1st and more picks for Copp and Stastny.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

That's actually pretty funny. He wasn't bad for us, think he either missed it here or will be a better fit there than Seattle. Hakstol was crushing his soul.

I have his jersey believe it or not because I liked him a lot as a player.

So Chevy didn’t go hibernate at the cottage until Tuesday, hmmm….. how do you like them apples?

C’mon, what else you got Chevy?

Honestly though, Jets are likely looking at futures in any potential Copp and Stastny deal so getting a body back in Appleton that can immediately play at least 3rd line is helpful in icing a semi competitive roster without an overload of all AHL depth players.

 

[surixon]

This seems to be the type of moves I was expecting. We are bringing in players with control. Appelton is a useful bottom 6 player that can PK and chip in some secondary offense. He also shouldn't be too expensive to retain for a couple of years in the summer.

I like the move and imo it doesn't preclude us from selling Copp. I expect they will likely keep Stastny.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Appleton for a 4th rounder? Absolutely!! Great trade by Chevy.
Anytime you can get an NHL player for a 4th round pick, you take it.

time to reunite the copp lowry appleton line

 

[sipowicz]

Good pick up low end 3rd liner, high end 4th liner for only a 4th!

 

[TS Quint]

Are you people really expecting the Jets to sell tomorrow? Doesn't sound like something Chevy/Chipman to do. Their history doesn't suggest that. I'll believe it when I see it. They're max cap in and 4 points out. They're going for it.

This is about reforming the Copp/Lowry/Appleton line and making the playoffs.

 

[Mud Turtle]

Love the trade.
But also feel bad for Harkins. I guess he was allowed a couple hours on cloud nine.

 

[Do or Die]

Legit player for a 4th? No problem with that. We need more guys who will drive to the net, anyways....

Yes, this absolutely is a possibility. Imagine if Helly gets his game back. This is a really dangerous team.

That said, bringing in Apples (love the trade) does give Chevy the flexibility to trade Copp. Not sure what the Jets do about Stastny. This is a really interesting scenario for Chevy... I can see them selling but I can also see them go for it.

Exciting day tomorrow.

4th rounder? That's a steal. Unless he isn't 100%, which is entirely possible.

 

[AlaskaJet]

Outstanding!

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

I wish. I'm pretty sure the organization is committed to him

I have no trouble keeping Stanley. He is good for his cost. I would have no trouble trading him either, for a decent return.

 

[AlaskaJet]

Appleby has great potential bottom six and will only improve on 2-way play, even if it it takes a while..‘doesn’t hurt our anti-tank either..

 

[CorgisPer60]

I'm okay with this. He's a perfectly complimentary player on the bottom 6, and is better than anyone not Lowry or Copp right now. Cost certainty for another 2 to 3 years. The likelihood of getting another Appleton with that fourth round pick is pretty low. Now, time to dish the UFAs.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

So for the Seattle expansion in the end we lost a 4th. In the Vegas expansion we lost a chance to get Nick Suzuki in order to keep Enstrom and get Vesalainen. Pretty stark difference in value lost there.

And yet we were in a much better position (on paper) for the Vegas draft. We had a lot of exempt young players. Go figure.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Bargain.
An actual NHL player for a 4th? Cheap, with term/team control? How often do 4th rd picks pan out in the NHL?

Vegas did a masterful job in the expansion draft.

Seattle, not so much.

We were defence heavy and to protect our forwards we needed Toby to waive so we could keep the D core together in the LV expansion draft. The trade to keep Toby is questionable but you never get there if Toby doesn’t waive his NMC. Anyways nice pickup by Chevy. Apples is easily worth a 4th. But his stock sure fell after a year in Seattle.

 

[kanadalainen]

I enjoy his style of play, crash the net.

This is exactly what the Jets need more of.

Nice pick up

 

[FinJetster]

Haaaaaave ya seen our 4th line?

No one has. Because they're hardly ever playing.
