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

[Joe Hallenback]

I think Stone signs with Ottawa

 

[HannuJ]

this doesn't explain why the Jets' assistant GM and cap specialist is at the Habs/Mtl game.
if you need a capologist involved in a trade, you'd want him in front of a computer and not scouting.

CBA mandated day off and 2 practice days even better time to make a trade

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

You want bold? I'm prepared to ship then Laine for a boatload. Sure, it may come back to bite us, but thats one team that has enough defensive & other good young player/prospects to get us well over the hump. And do this right, we clear up our caps issues, make us more than competitive for the next few years & best of all extend our window.
Yes, Laine is a huge dilema & a trading him is a huge gamble, but if we need to do something like shipping off Connor or Ehlers +++ to make the cap work anyway, lets go all in to make our team competitive. And yes losing a goal scorer like Laine would hurt immensely, but Connor, Ehlers & Scheif aren't chopped liver in that department either.

I would agree but I think we would be forced to sell low on Laine as it stands now. If we could get what his real value as a player who scored 44 goals at 19, then I'd be willing.

I think Stone signs with Ottawa

And then traded to Winnipeg?

Laptops and telephones are a thing you know...

 

[CaptainChef]

Assistant GM and Pro Scout of the Jets to watch Florida vs Montreal.

Super. Love to see us make a deal with Fla, and let someone give the Sens too much

 

[jokesondee]

Could be at the Panthers game to watch Brassard. Yuck.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

My guess is Dorian was watching Comrie, Spacek and Stanley on the Moose. Not sure why Spacek is getting no mentions, he’s a sleeper.

That's why he is getting no mentions. Same with being below the radar.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

And then traded to Winnipeg?

Just a feeling no info. I find it hard to believe though that all those Sens where in Winnipeg just taking in the game.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Wonder if theres a guy or 2 in the lockerroom who would rather be elsewhere and it's causing some internal problems this season.

 

[Jets 31]

Not better than all of us being off so we can decide if the trade by Chevy was good or bad .

 

[DRW204]

Jeez, that buffalo trade was 5 years ago! Both Bogo and Kane were under contract for a relatively long term.

What I have proposed is a helluva lot more value than what we got from Buffalo for EK & Bogo so I am just baffled why you are bringing that up.

Trouba is, for all practical purposes a pending UFA. The rest of this year and that is what he will be.

OK, maybe the value for KC is better at Pesce + 1st. They should pick somewhere in the middle of the pack. I'm not sure that is more value than TVR. I think he is underrated. But I could be wrong. That pick wouldn't do anything for us next year. I think TVR would give us a pretty strong right side. If we keep him, we are better prepared for Buff declining, or leaving after 2 years.

If we don't take back 2 RHD then Trouba to Carolina falls apart completely. That doesn't bother you because you think you would have no trouble getting better elsewhere. I'm skeptical. It also ***** up my whole plan if we have to wait till the off-season to move Trouba. We are not setting up for this years PO's by having Pesce added to our right side plus a 1st when meanwhile we are down KC at LW.

I brought up EK+Bogo because you keep talking Trouba isn't at full value. It doesn't matter - Chevy will get a haul. Those two players were hardly at full value and Chevy got a huge haul for players not at full value. Bogos contract probably was even considered a negative at that time too.

Honestly, might even be Pesce+Necas depending on where they pick for Connor. a top 10-12 1st is vastly different than 25+. Might even take Slavin instead of Pesce.

I don't think we should trade Trouba to Carolina. we can move him to FLA for a package including Huberdeau

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Watch us get Barkov for Trouba .

 

[Whileee]

And then traded to Winnipeg?

If he signs with Ottawa then I doubt he gets traded to Winnipeg. It would jack up his trade value. He's only affordable as a trade acquisition for the Jets if he refuses to sign with Ottawa forcing the Sens to trade him as a pending UFA.

see my post yesterday regarding the necessity of a scout to attend a game in person.

your comment also doesn't explain the need for Ottawa and Wpg's GMs to meet face to face when we have technology.
and a scout can't use a laptop to plug in cap #s AND focus on scouting a game at the same time.

With the Senators ? Absolutely .

Milwaukee Nashvilles farm team. They are here today and tomorrow. Chicago is Vegas. They were here the 2 days prior

 

[Gabe Kupari]

No .With the Jets . Im wondering if the Trouba situation has reached a point where guys just dont want him around.

All it takes is 1 bad apple to ruin the bunch really

You spelled Trochek wrong...

 

[Gabe Kupari]

You spelled Trochek wrong...

Huberdeau is rumored to be available. Trochek is not.

 

[10Ducky10]

If Comrie was being scouted, I'm pretty sure he got pulled today.

 

[10Ducky10]

Huberdeau is rumored to be available. Trochek is not.

Well, I just started the rumor that Trochek is available...
Laine and Trouba for Huberdeau, Ekblad, Trochek and Tippett.

 

[DRW204]

Huberdeau or Trochek either one. Huberdeau would be a great 1 LW replacement and Tro would be a great 2C

 

[Jets 31]

No .With the Jets . Im wondering if the Trouba situation has reached a point where guys just dont want him around.

Buff would have thrown Trouba's chemistry set in the shower by now .

1LW replacement?
We have KC and Ehlers for LW?
