Sounds like a job for one Dylon DeMelo. After we get Ekblad the defence looks like this:
Morrissey-Ekblad
Samberg-Pionk
Mateychuk-DeMelo
Heinola
Stanley
Wowza.......

Sounds like they want some sort of guarantee. I don't think there is anyway to write that into a contract. ELCs are a pretty standardized contract with little room for customization. So how would such a guarantee be enforced?

What about the Cs? Bystedt in particular looks interesting but I really don't know much about them.
I have been hoping for the Jets to aquire Ekblad. POMO will have a great read on Jets players, too.
That would be nice but I have a feeling the only realistic target there is Mateychuk.
Chairs have been thrown at the McGroarty household tonight 
I hope it wasn't as volatile as the media made it out to be. If he tried to strong arm now to get traded & jets tried to accommodate but had to make sense for the team. Maybe they are still on good terms and can mend later. One can only hope.

“Rutger’s a prospect within our organization, and that’s where it is right now,” Cheveldayoff said before the first round of the 2024 NHL Draft got underway.
Sure doesn’t sound like a love affair that’s for sure ……

McGroarty learning that
Every player that has wanted a trade has had to grind for it. Most of the time it carries on till the last year of their rights with the Jets or after multiple years since making a trade request. Kane apparently requested a trade every season and it took almost 4 years for that trade to happen and even then it took Big Buff taking matters into his own hands for Chevy to make the move. PLD, Trouba, Kane, Frolik all had to grind to get moved. Roslovic may be the only player who has been granted his trade request in short order and he got lucky to be able to piggy back on the Laine trade. Even a player low on the Jets depth chart like Stanley has requested to be traded multiple times in the last few years and still remains a Jet.

No one was getting Rutger at a discount. Perhaps we get a second rounder and some 2025 picks?McGroarty learning that

I wouldn’t mind a bunch of seconds even. Jets seem to have figured out the second round the last few years.
I could see Chicago throwing some of their picks at the jets. Rutger and their star could compliment each other for the next decade.
Hope not. Should be able to extract more in separate deals. There are other bits that can be added: Stanley, Gustaffsson, Johnsson-Fjalby...
Unless there is a team out there that has for a top line winger, has cap space, willing to give Ehlers an extension and is fine giving up a young NHLer and their 1st...
It's more likely than not he is back for camp
Not saying I know for sure but that's how I'm seeing things play out
Rutger we may have to add to to get what we want. But Ehlers is a pretty big add. If someone was trading a potential star D I could see that working. Not sure who fits that criteria though.

I will say Chevy is a tough guy to read. His interview in Vegas was vintage Chevy, i’m glad it was under 5 minutes, that is the perfect amount of time to give to him to talk in riddles. Honestly though, who cares as long as he does his job I guess.

to be fair I think he was pretty easy to read when it came to mcgroarty

Whiteout Is Coming.
If the rumors are true about McGroarty ... he is not signing with the Jets the NHL needs to step in and change the rules
If a 1st round pick doesn't want to sign ... the team is rewarded a 1st round pick or the players has to sit for 7 years.
Who knows maybe teams are tampering telling rookies how to holdout.
I'm tried of seeing small market teams getting shafted.
#NHLJets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff just told the assembled media here in Las Vegas that he didn't have an update on the Rutger McGroarty situation, other than he won't be attending development camp next week.
