GDT: The Trade Deadline Thread

[Jet]

so much of a risk they played him the night before the trade deadline...

What does this have to do with anything? The Jets weren't risking a first round pick by playing him last night. As a matter of fact, they were probably trying to maximize his attractiveness, as holding him out might have made potential suitors even more nervous considering his history

 

[Jet]

Why??

This makes me so sad.

 

[Finnflash]

Why??

I dont get this?

what does it have to do with anything? you said it showed risk holding him out this week, playing him the night before the deadline shows teams he's fine..

I dont get this?

We got an extra pick for a player who wasn't signing here and a contract that Arizona can use to get to the floor.

Thanks, hadn’t considered this piece of it.

 

[MardyBum]

Well, shitty news he wasn't going to sign with us lol.

LOL so playing the night before erases the season, got it. Neither one of us knows the risk tolerance for teams today. Both of us are guessing, and my OPINION is that teams would not want to risk a first for a player who had his 5th concussion just a couple of months ago, and was dinged and missed a game last week.

Maybe I am way off but that's the way I see it. If team's don't get the player they want, and if it ends up being a conditional first based on whether Copp plays the rest of the season and playoffs for that team maybe theres a deal, but if the Jets are dead set on an unconditional first I'm not sure that happens.

So we have a decent amount of cap space now, is Chevy trying to make a big trade ?

he didn't have his 5th concussion and he missed 1 game for precaution and ended up being fine..

What do you mean he didn't have his 5th concussion?

 

[Guffman]

I'm skeptical that Stats is going anywhere. I think his value isn't that great, and that Chevy would be looking for someone to take his spot if he goes. So probably a lateral move. Hence why he might just be the Jets' own rental.

But, since it's just a guess, I guess I'll see if I'm proven wrong

Stastny has 17 goals and 31 points. He is a leader with playoff experience that can play centre or wing. He would be very good value for a contending team.

 

[gojetsgo]

he hasn't been concussed 5 times, the fear last week was it was his 5th but he ended up not being concussed

 

[tbcwpg]

Well, shitty news he wasn't going to sign with us lol.

I think it also relates to why interest in McBain didn't go anywhere as well. Players see the team with Scheifele-Dubois-Lowry down the middle and centre prospects don't really see a spot for themselves in the lineup.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Copp didn’t catch a concussion on his latest time-out, if I read correctly. Also, the team apparently hasn’t discussed a trade with Stastny, so I doubt he was being shopped.

The latest info said there was an offer of two 2nds for Copp, but Chevy is looking for the 1st. I think between NYR, Colorado and other contenders, we get that 1st.

So far, we basically traded a prospect that wasn’t signing with us and a big LTIR cap hit for Mason Appleton, while getting rid of BooBoo. This deadline has been a win either way.

 

[SM]

Have to wonder if Chevy knowing Smith wasn’t willing to sign with us was the impetus to get Appleton back. Likely hoped to have Smith play that 3RW position.

With the way our bottom 6 has played this year, they alone were the impetus. Losing Copp compounds the issue, but Vesalainen clearly isn’t working for us. Harkins has been okay as of late and Toninato has been good, but Appleton is nothing but upside, and was a bargain.

 

[DRW204]

Minnesota was one of the teams I thought would be a fit for copp or Stastny... Hopefully us getting a 1st


They just Traded a conditional 1st for MAF.

The Avs don't have their 1st or 2nd pick this season or their 2nd next season, so unlikely they were the team offering 2 2nds. Maybe 2023 1st?

 

[DRW204]

Would the Rangers move their 1st for one of Copp or Stastny?

If they don’t have the low-level trade chips, it makes it easier to squeeze the big one out of them. I’m okay with a 2023 1st, it’s not like a player in the 20+ range of the draft is going to make a difference immediately anyway.

 

[tbcwpg]

Definitely not Stastny. Maybe Copp but I think they'd really not want to and would drag it out until the last minute.

I'd want Barron myself if we deal him to Colorado. Former first round pick RD who has been developing well and shouldn't be that far from the NHL

Oh shit so only 4 concussions - that changes everything
