I just like that Chevy can play the game without flinching. You don't want to be here fine, I also know you don't want to go back to school. So lets work this out. Chevy makes it known his player is available but this is what I want and I'm not moving off that. We got 2 years to make a deal so just let me know when you want to this discuss further. I've had my criticisms of Chevy but there is absolutely no panic in his game.
Generational I'd say......If Sip approves of the trade, must be very solid for the Jets
That's great but absolutely nothing to do with my post. I said showing a poll of who their top prospect is is pointless because their system is trash minus Yager.Brayden Yager is the jewel of the prospect pipeline, and represents the real possibility of a top-six winger who can score and distribute the puck
The Jets have multiple forward prospects expected to be top-nine impact players. Colby Barlow, Chaz Lucius and Rutger McGroarty are projected to be middle-six players, with high probability.
I'll take the jewel with top-six potential over the high probable middle-six any day.
He will probably tell Kyle Dubas that the team is no longer a good fit.
He just meant the timing of it and could have been other deals in the works with other players. Or even a deal with Laine and jiricek . Who knows. Does kinda make you wonder.laine got traded with a 2nd
it doesn't make me wonder at all, they wanted to trade laine's full cap, we couldn't do that, laine deal has nothing to do with this deal at allHe just meant the timing of it and could have been other deals in the works with other players. Or even a deal with Laine and jiricek . Who knows. Does kinda make you wonder.
Chevy at this point has such a lay of the land that he can slow play any defensive player management situation to his advantage. In my option at least he hasn’t demonstrated the same chops from an aggressive player management position.Zero panic.
I think at the end of the 2022-23 season when our team seemed to quit against Vegas, Bones had his melt down, PLD wanted out, and Chevy had a very off brand interview I was ready for a fresh start at GM.
Then he bought out Blake, traded PLD in what turned out to be the HUGEST of bullets dodged, got Mark and Helle signed, and the team proceeded to rip off 110 points, I realized that Chevy is a guy that can get results under extreme pressure. That might have been his best stretch as our GM level results.
When McG wanted out it was just another (Kick to the nuts) tight spot and I was comfortable that Chevy would get it figured out on his time line. Who knows how it will all turn out but at this snap shot in time today it’s another tidy piece of business under duress.
So there is zero chance they were discussing any other deals. Got itit doesn't make me wonder at all, they wanted to trade laine's full cap, we couldn't do that, laine deal has nothing to do with this deal at all
I'm glad I was able to help you understand that someone that was traded as a cap dump wasn't holding up this trade...So there is zero chance they were discussing any other deals. Got it
Pens likely to miss playoffs again. Gotta think they’ll likely lose Crosby this year to FA so he can chase another cup wherever that may be.McGro will get his chance at top six... just in time for Crosby and malkin to retire... should be a solid top line of Bunting-Glass-McGro
I wish him nothing but misery for his entire pathetic career.Pens likely to miss playoffs again. Gotta think they’ll likely lose Crosby this year to FA so he can chase another cup wherever that may be.
It’ll be years of that team rebuilding before anything happens. Our boy Rutger will be on a team in a big rut trying to rebuild.
Currently placing a Vesalainen hex on McCharacterIssues.I wish him nothing but misery for his entire pathetic career.
Jagr and Crosby??The team that was gifted 2 generational players? Nah, f- em.

Given the timing of this trade. I wonder if we were ever in on Laine?
and if McGroaty was part of the deal.
Probably not, but i guess we'll never know...

Don Waddell was interviewed yesterday on SiriusXM NHL network and Don said there were other teams involved but the teams wanted us to take back players we weren’t interested in. Waddell said his priority was the Cap space. He said not as much for this season but he didn’t like having it on the books for the following season. He also had no interest in brining Laine back because he only wants players that want to be Blue Jackets.
His priority was the full cap dump
I'm glad I was able to help you understand that someone that was traded as a cap dump wasn't holding up this trade...
Basically came down to the fact that he just prefers Amish over Hutterite.I was texting the lady who sleeps on the Empress Street bicycle path about an hour ago and asked if she knew about this trade. She said she did, but was told by McGroarty's agent to keep quiet so he could be moved.
I asked her if he would sign in Pittsburgh, and she said that he and Dubas have an arrangement where the team name will be changed to the "Rutgers" starting next season. I asked if she was sure, and she said that she was right about Connor Hellebuyck being a goalie, so it must be true...
You wonder how come Elliotte Friedman doesn't use her as a source...
