Speculation: Rumour, Trade, and Free Agent Speculation 2018-19 - Part VIII

[Daximus]

There really does seem to be a ton of smoke with this one. Very curious on how this all plays out.

So Dax how big could this thing get?

I'm hearing a lot of stuff. But it could end up being huge if the best case scenario plays out. Worst case scenario is negotiations completely fall apart but all indications point to this being deep in negotiations already. For all we know this could just be a ploy by the Sens to drive up the price of both of their big pieces. It's all being done so publicly which is odd for any negotiations even negotiations potentially this big.

 

[Daximus]

Boy, if we could get Chabot that easily I’d do a backflip.

I'm guessing Chabot is on the no-go list. Likely White as well.

Deep in negotiations suggest the general framework is in place and just the details need to be worked out.

 

[DRW204]

Chevy will not lose a deal to Dorion...

Yeah that's what I'm hearing. We know what we want from the Sens, Sens are still digesting what they want from us. Likely why they are in town with all the big guns.

 

[snowkiddin]

Yeah, I’m assuming they only move him if Laine is coming back.

 

[snowkiddin]

Realistically you’ve got to give up value to get value. I’m fine with Vesalainen (character issues anyway), Lemieux, Appleton, Stanley and (I guess) Samberg leaving. But they better not touch Niku! Would prefer holding onto Samberg and Stanley as well tbh

So do you think Stone is exerting pressure on the situation? If Winnipeg is his desired landing spot and he is willing to sign, that truley brings this to a level beyond rental.

 

[Roughneck1]

Nope. I’m guessing that’s a none starter for Drorion and rightly so. If he is included then so is Laine.

I'd be okay moving any younger guys but Roslovic, Niku or Samberg. Prefer not to move Lemieux, Vesalainen or Appleton as well but it depends on the situation.

I'm not entirely sure but I hear Stone wants to be here and if he plans on signing an extension the Sens know about it and will be looking for compensation as if he was a straight up trade with term though obviously not full value. If this is true and a big if, Stone likely wants to be here long term. I have also heard Duchene may be being worked on as a pure rental but that it may be a lot more difficult for the Jets to get both. I should note that last part is very speculative by my sources.

Samberg fits a Mo model more than Niku. Strong in his own end, big is more Mo than super skilled in their end.

That's a lot of moving parts and will require something significant going back.

Perreault Petan Stanley Comrie 1st. Maybe throw in Vesa if character is in question

 

[DRW204]

f*** it bring in Panarin too... we can use an upgrade on our 4LW

 

[Whileee]

I'm guessing Chabot is on the no-go list. Likely White as well.

Then Connor and Roslovic should be on the Jets' "no-go" list.

There's still a salary cap. Jets could fit Stone, but not both under the cap this year.

 

[Daximus]

I think Connor is. Rosie might not be. Not something I agree with but it could end up being the cost of getting a signed Stone.

What names u hearing. Petan Stanley Comrie Rosie and 1st should be enough for both no?

 

[Daximus]

Both have prorated contracts from now. We have a good portion of deadline space especially since Ehlers and Buff were on IR, if i'm not mistaken we saved some cap in that process that accrues to the end of the season. But you are right we likely have to move some salary the other way. I said it before but I think Perreault could end up being a target. Petan likely goes back which gives us just enough breathing room for both without moving Perreault as well. Either way if we get a signed Stone out of this there will be some moves in the offseason to clear cap.

 

[Daximus]

No names yet. I think that's why the Sens big guns are here. They aren't sure what they want yet. But yeah I'd hope that is the most we'd send the other way for both which includes Stone signed.

 

[papasan]

So do you think Ottawa is on Wheelers modified NTC right now? His NTC does not happen until July this year. Scheifele will never be the captain while Wheelers here.

I'd imagine Wheeler will 100% not be moved. Org has way to much invested in him, as does he with this organization.

 

[ps241]

Hoping Stanley has a big game tonight.

Lol

That would be nice

 

[JetsFan815]

He could be an option for some cheap depth at the deadline, would cost nothing more than a league minimum contract.
