Value of: ROR to Winnipeg

[Buffdog]

Seems like a good fit at 2C in Winnipeg until Yager might be able to step in

- producing well on an underachieving Preds team
- 4.5M cap hit
- no trade protection (always the frst thing Jets fans look at)

What would the ask be from Nashville? Not to be a jerk, but it's tough to say which direction that franchiseis moving in.... roster players? Picks?

I don't believe Trotz would be willing to trade O'Reilly. He brought him in to be the team leader, and I suspect even if this season is in the tank, Trotz is just going to cling to the same formula and same hopes for a turnaround next season. There isn't really going to be any "ask" therefore.

Teams dont trade a UFA thry just signed unless it's at the players request or understanding

I don't think that's true. Also he's been there for 1.5 years at this point. Trotz has to decide what the team is. If middle of the pack he wants, then he'll keep him. it's not a very well built team at all.

J Toews is going to come home and play

 

[HellOnIce]

Is WPG going to trust Toews and their Cup hopes on a guy who hasn't played in years?

Yager and a first I imagine

 

[CanMerc]

He’d be a good target and fits what Chevy would want..Top 6 C with short term and affordable cap hit

 

[10Ducky10]

Yager and a first I imagine

I wouldn't give up Yager straight up for him never mind adding a 1st.

Rumor has it that they are also trying to convince Frank Mahovlich to come out of retirement.

Fit wise... I agree. ROR to Peg does feel like a great fit.

I'd think that trade starts with Pegs best prospect.

Something like ROR for Nashville's choice of Yager, Lambert or Barlow + 2025 1st (top 12 protected, but currently projected as 30th overall) + Ville Heinola (youngish throw in).

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Can't imagine this happens, but just for discussion, Nashville doesn't need a 1st. They already have 3 in this upcoming draft. So instead of a package where a 1st is the main piece, I'd think it's just a 1 for 1 for a good prospect.

Couldn't we just save Trotz the trouble and trade him for a bad veteran and trade them the bad veteran instead?

No, they don't have to add just one center. Several moves can be made

I don't think O'Reilly is going to be keen to go to Winnipeg. Granted, he doesn't actually have trade protection on his contract. But I would guess based on the degree of mutual woo'ing he and Trotz did in getting him to Nashville, he essentially has an unwritten no-move. He'd have to ask out. Maybe he would, who knows, but he does already have a Cup, and I would fall out of my chair in surprise if he did get traded this season. Make the craziest offer imaginable (Yager + Salomonsson + 1st say) and... I suspect Trotz would still turn it down. He's that infatuated with O'Reilly.

Trotz has already made some iffy moves in his short GM career but if he turns down Yager + Salomonsson and a 1st for a 32 year old centre on a team that isn't looking like it will compete during the next 2.5 years, then he should be fired on the spot

I'd do the Barlow, Heinola and a 1st in a heartbeat but any talk of our best prospects 1 for 1 is a no-go

 

[jetsforever]

Seems like a good target
I'd do one of our top prospects and maybe a 2nd or something

Nobody in Preds land would object if Trotz was fired on the spot. But suffice to say, your GM is not going to make that crazy offer anyway, and even if he did our crazy GM probably wouldn't take it. It is meant to illustrate that you all are advised to look elsewhere for your playoff boost, alas. Believe me, I wish it weren't so.

 

[herzausstein]

Im not well versed in Winnipeg's prospect pipeline. We are rather thin in Nashville at RHD and Center. We have alot of center prospects but nothing really top end. If we traded RoR, we would probably need a top end RHD prospect as i think would end up getting a top 5 pick in the 2025 draft and get our future center that way.

So a top end RHD prospect, return cap to even cap out, and some lesser picks/prospects if the value is still off

 

[10Ducky10]

Not 5 x 5.5m good.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Hes not worth the price Nashville will ask for from the Jets. He's not the same player he was and that negative slide will continue as he ages. A 1st and a solid but not high end prospect is the most anyone should pay for him.

 

[Menzinger]

I got the impression he definitely wanted to go to a warm weather USA market after his stint in Toronto. I don't think he wants to come back to Canada

You'd think Trotz would have given him a NMC, or at least a 10 team NTC

Weird that he has zero trade protection

 

[Dr Amazing]

Trade for O'Reilly and then sign Toews the Jets are cup bound plan the cup parade.

Yeah we'd honestly need both still.

Connor - Scheifele - Vilardi
Ehlers - ROR - Namestnikov
Niederrieter - Lowry - Appleton
Perfetti - Toews - Iafallo
