Confirmed with Link: Stastny (50% ret.) for Foley, 2018 1st, cond. 2020 4th

[ps241]

Stastny is good.

Ok..........wow.

 

[Aavco Cup]

1290 said he won't play tomorrow.

Maurice said he's an option. Why would 1290 know more than the coach?

 

[SensibleGuy]

I certainly won't be calling for chevy's head this year. No chance. He's bought himself at least another season lol

 

[cbcwpg]

I will not be calling for Chevy 'a head

Forgot the word "some"

 

[allan5oh]

So perhaps losing on Brassard Pleks and Letestu is a blessing in disguise? This giu is a better fit than they are in playing style and contract status. likely the Blues GM didnt decide to sell until yesterday. Talk about timing!

 

[kittiecarlyle]

Now that the Kane deal is done let's see if McCabe or Antipin may make the move to Winnipeg.

hey TSN taking a chance to shit on the city of winnipeg again. refreshing!

No just chiming in with my vote now

IMO, this isn't different than keeping Frolik for the playoff run instead of renting him out for picks / prospects.

I don't like giving up the 1st, but I'm caught up in the enthusiasm for having one of the truly best rosters in the NHL. As a long-time Jets fan and STH I'm looking forward to the last few months of the season and playoffs more today than I have in quite some time.

If it was known Stastny was available at 50% I would have preferred this from the beginning

JMO...

This is a high price to pay ( I never thought trading a 1st round pick was really a good idea ) and a gamble. And if the Jets do bow out in the 1st round I guarantee that people who are positive about the trade today will be calling for Chevy's head.

I generally agree, and was surprised but:

1) Their board is a huge factor. If they're imagining drafting 20th or later and don't love anyone after their top 5, then that pick's value is more specifically set. Also, if those five are all pretty high profile, or are being scouted a great deal by other teams, then that's a devaluing factor for the pick as well.

2) This might be a narrative move as much as anything, and I wouldn't be surprised if a move of this magnitude was a one-off and not the new status quo.

"Dear Blake,

Let's make the f***ing playoffs.

Kisses,
Jets

P.S. -- go look in Matthias's stall"

Well I am happy that the Jets are going for it. PS is fantastic two-way 2nd line center and we now have the deepest forward core in the league, no weaknesses.

Giving up a first is tough and I liked Foley but we are stacked organizationally on the left. Just check out the Moose with Lemiuex, Appelton. Ves in Finland, plus the guys on the Jets.

 

[objectiveposter]

The only way this trade backfires is if the Jets get bounced in the early rounds...and then next year when the team is in better position and more experienced to make another run the team decides to be more conservative at the deadline and decides to keep its 2019 first round pick since it already lost this years pick.

Will the Jets be willing to trade back to back first round picks given how well they draft in the first round?

Presumably they have heard from the Jets.

hey TSN taking a chance to **** on the city of winnipeg again. refreshing!

Can you elaborate? In what way?

 

[Ippenator]

Maybe Laine gets still demoted to the 4th line to play with gramps? That would give some nice fuel for the ”conspiracy” theories. Because of course Wheeler wants to play with his buddies Stastny and Scheifele in the first line, PLR will be kept together because of it being so magnificent of course and Connor will get demoted to play with Copp and Ehlers, as those two have anyway been the backbone of the Copp-line. And so Laine ends up holding hands with gramps for the rest of the season, while Armia finds a new healthy popcorn diet.

And then thank God I woke up from the horrible nightmare!
Or was it a nightmare after all...

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Are Blues in cap problem or why did they give up Stastny?

LOL.

 

[allan5oh]

If other gms knew he was available everything would have played out different.

 

[allan5oh]

Their GM was pissed they lost 6 in a row. The loss to Nashville was the final straw. It was very last minute.

 

[Shazzam]

Wow!! What a great time to be a Jets fan. The team was already so much fun to watch. Great addition at a reasonable cost. I've always liked Stastny

 

[Shazzam]

Clock's ticking. Still waiting for a depth defenseman deal.

 

[Howard Chuck]

Great, now I have to find out whats going on with Heather Locklear

Just a second, I'll go wake her up and ask....

 

[Aavco Cup]

Presumably they heard it from the Jets

I presume they just got it wrong. It happens a lot at 1290

 

[cbcwpg]

Blues trade Stastny to Jets for draft picks and a prospect

"When I knew Winnipeg was interested, I almost didn't believe it at first," Stastny told the NHL Network. "It's always been a tough matchup for us in St. Louis. With them, with the high quality of forwards it seemed like a pretty good fit. Wherever they slot me in you're going to be playing with some quality players. So I'm excited for it."

"It's tough. That's for sure. The sad part is leaving these guys. I have a close group of friends here. One of the closest group of guys I've ever played with. I think that's always gonna be the toughest part. . . .I want the best for them as well, but I also want the best for myself and I want to win."
