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

[Joe Hallenback]

Teams are holding fast on Stone, unless someone blinks I don't think he gets moved until Monday. Sens want way too much for him

I think the Jet's should have picked up Duchene -- he went for a very reasonable price, and the Jets could have bettered that. We also needed a center -- I don't know why they didn't close on Duchene ? I guess it's because they feel they could resign Stone to a contract, as he's from Winnipeg.

Jackets sure have a lot of UFAs.

Can't remember who said it or where it was said, but Simmonds has a lower 5v5 P/60 than every single one of our forwards. He may have been an upgrade in past years, but he's not the Simmonds we once knew. Would have loved to have had him 3 years ago.

Also, even if he would upgrade the 4th line, that would be a very expensive upgrade. There are likely cheaper options to upgrade the 4th line.

Thanks was me, on the main board. Every forward including Petan has a higher point production rate than Simmonds at 5v5.

Do you think that Staal will hit the market?

 

[Afterburner]

Dzingal gone now to Columbus. I guess they are going all in

Ehhh... no.

Blue line is the important one. It looks fine for a one-time-fourth-line-cup-run.

Thanks, I had a hunch it was you but didn't have the time to find exactly which thread you had said it in.

I am not sure about that. I guess if he wants to move but I have the feeling since no one is talking about him he doesn't want to go.

I am not against the Jets getting Simmonds, I think they always liked him and I think at the right price he would be really good in the playoffs for us. A guy I would like to get is Zucker, he is available

Kekalainen is an absolute mad man

I can only assume that Even though they weren’t sold on him in July, Little has impressed enough this year and especially of late that they are confident in him. Depending on what happens in the next 2 days of course. Could completely prove me wrong.

 

[JetsFan815]

What if it's for Petan and a 5th?

That's not damaging but what's the point?

 

[None]

Zucc off the market now too.

 

[JetsFan815]

Columbus will somehow get both Stone and Hayes, Kekalainen will give up all picks for the next 4 years, his first born and naming rights to his second born.

 

[None]

The rental prices are pretty tame in my opinion. The only standout to me is how much of a gamble Columbus is taking, they're in for a major setback if their house of cards collapses.

 

[Trinity]

Chris Johnson of Sportsnet thinks Columbus is in on Stone as well.

 

[ffh]

Chevy still partying it up in Vegas.

I think Simmonds would upgrade our fourth line during a playoff run.

I don't

That's fine by me just keep him away from the West.

Fine by me. I'd prefer standing pat to doing something stupid.

 

[HPsauce]

Zucc for a 2nd and 3rd?? What the heck... Why wasn't this done already Chevy?

 

[Cellee]

Have you watched him all year he looks like a peewee player trying to play junior. He tries hard but is real bad on his ass all the time little skill etc .

Honestly, there is so much inaccuracy here...

I heard he's at Carrot Top tonight.

Kekalainen will lose his job, after Tampa beats them in the 1st round, and then they will soon become a bottom feeder, when all their UFA's hit the road for "greener pastures." in July/2019.

Unless it's an impact top 6 F or a depth C I don't see the point. Zucc isn't either so it would be an overpayment for the Jets.
