TSN: Trade Deadline: what do we do!

[gojetsgo]

I mean Chevy added two top 9 forwards to a team low on forward depth. What did people actually want him to do remake the whole team?

one more depth forward would have been fine...

 

[Been around]

They seem to have wanted McDavid 95 percent retained for a 7th lol

 

[KingBogo]

honestly, i don't even know if I care. don't want to spend $10k on playoff tickets if chevy doesn't believe it's worth the effort.

*i believe i am distraught

If you spend $10 K on playoff tickets we will have had a very nice run.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

not a single 1st rounder moved today right?

not sure what folks were expecting..... when healthy namestnikov helps the bottom-6. if perfetti comes back we have nino now so that'll push a 2nd line caliber player down.

the D group this TDL was Chychrun, Ekholm and whole lotta meh/whore cares. they were never going to move Pionk or Schmidt.

Do we have to wait for the Pionk & Schmidt contracts to expire before we can even begin to build a decent D corps?

 

[blueandgoldguy]

This off season is going to be must watch tv if the Jets miss the playoffs, I've said before miss the playoffs and it's time for a rebuild. That rebuild should be done by another GM with a fresh set of eyes that will come here and evaluate the roster and make some tough decisions.

Yes, and it will be a lot more lengthy and painful then people realize. Ottawa is probably a best-case scenario and they will be going on 6 years without a playoff team. They had 5 awful years before this one. Expect something like that for the Jets.

 

[jiho]

So... what's the over/under at even making the playoffs?

Current odds are -300 to make playoffs....+230 to miss playoffs

 

[blueandgoldguy]

Do we have to wait for the Pionk & Schmidt contracts to expire before we can even begin to build a decent D corps?

If we end up rebuilding we will need a contract like Pionk to make the salary floor.

 

[DRW204]

I set my expectations pretty low and they weren't even met, we needed some scoring for the bottom six, yes namestinikov is better then what we had but he still doesn't bring enough offense

i agree, namestnikov isn't someone to get super excited about. at the minimum like you said he's better than waiver wire guys. & we accumulated a bunch of cap space and seemingly did nothing with it.

some of the the alternatives i liked were

domi (we didnt have a 2nd)
Bertuzzi (i wouldnt give up a 1st)
jvr or boeser (didnt get moved at all)
barbashev (a recent late 1st dont think i wouldve done that)

Jets haven't played a healthy stretch of games this year, so from the assessment point you still don't even know what you have as a team. Chevy has probably moved enough to keep Appleton out of the top 6 for the rest of the year, and that might pay dividends in Lowry's game.

Minnesota being aggressive surprised me, but I think they were in a safe spot to do so. More draft picks, more prospects, lest looming UFAs.

I don't mind the moves. Or the inaction.

Give the guys here a chance to prove themselves. If Dubois and Ehlers get back to playing dominant hockey it changes the look of this team. I don't think any extra outside moves beyond adding Niedrrater was going to change that.

Bottom 6 is still based on their defensive impact, PKing roles

Defense is still uncertain. I like that Dylan Samberg has the chance to maybe get his first playoff experience. Listening to Ken Holland talk about his younger inexperienced defense, at some point you have to let these guys prove themselves in the ultimate challenge.

If one of the consequences of the inaction is having the roster and Cap space to bring Heinola into the team for the rest of the year, I think that could be a net positive.

Jets Cap space is weaponized by having depth down the stretch.

Still have a great goalie at the end, and that could be a difference.

I guess what remains to be seen is how hard this team will battle for one another in the most challenging part of the season.

Sure. I’m not an advocate of buying for the sake of buying and sacrificing the future. My comment has more to do with the current state and not so distant makeup of the team. I think Chevy sees the reality sand going all in isn’t going to pay the necessary dividends.

 

[KingBogo]

one more depth forward would have been fine...

Agreed. Main reason why I'm curious what was still on the table when the TDL buzzer went.

Another way to put it would be a middle sixer and a fourth liner.

 

[PaulPooley]

I don’t really know what I was expecting in terms of a home-run acquisition happening, but I’m feeling super disenchanted overall with the state of this franchise. I’m not sure I believe in the organization’s leadership anymore. I definitely don’t believe in this core ever winning us a Cup. Apart from the first 3 months of this season, the team hasn’t come close to winning anything since 2018. I feel like I’ve seen all I need to see from Scheifele, KFC, Ehlers, Lowry and PLD as far as what more they are capable of bringing.
They are all flawed in some major way that contributes to the overall inconsistency of the team.
I’d like to see Chipman take a major step back in his role with the operation of the club and hire a president of hockey operations to oversee those matters.
It’s not just because Chevy didn’t make a major add today- I’ve been feeling this way more and more as the recent losses have mounted.

 

[Huffer]

If there was interest in Schmaltz by Chevy it is probably revisited on the draft floor when Chevy knows where that pick is and potentially who is available.

As of right now there is a HUGE question mark as to where that Jets pick will be. There’s still potential that it’s part of the draft lottery if the Jets don’t correct their play real quick.

That is possible, but I think (could be wrong) that he could have been had without the 1st. Maybe, maybe not.

They can certainly revisit on the draft floor, but we needed him now.

 

[jetsv2]

But sure as f*** exposes those who think that way

Meaning a loser mentality.
Why the hell not try to think positively for once....you'll find yourself smiling alot more.
When it comes to hockey or anything you enjoy watching...think positively...its entertainment, not life or death ffs

Not everyone agrees that everything is great with the Jets. A lot of us have been watching the same shit play out year after year and are fed up with it. It's time for changes.

bjugstad and poolparty we could have gotten

You can like your team and still be critical in your analysis of them. Good discourse isn’t one directional and everything doesn’t have to be sunshine and lollipops.

that's decent, tbf. i think from my perspective, we had assets in cap space, picks and prospects to make one last push with this core. personally, i believe PLD and Helly will not extend here. 55 might, but not at the term/$$ we should be interested in.

 

[DRW204]

bjugstad and poolparty we could have gotten

bjugstad yea
poolparty i like but he isn't helping with scoring/finishing

 

[gojetsgo]

bjugstad yea
poolparty i like but he isn't helping with scoring/finishing

true but still a much better chance he figures it out then what we currently have

 

[MardyBum]

Last year when it was clear the Jets weren't making the playoffs they traded for a rental in Sanford, wasting assets.

I just can't grasp this wishy washy mentality of Chevy's.

 

[KingBogo]

If we end up in a bit of a rebuild on the other side of Scheif, Helle, PLD, Wheeler, Ehlers, Dillon, deMelo, Schimdt, Nino and Pionk getting moved or leaving over the next two seasons. Keeping those younger guys to help bolster a future core could be paramount.

This is my thinking as well. If we start selling off better to have your own 1st round picks and your last few years of prospects as a starting point over an empty cupboard.

All GMs of bubble teams get labeled as wishy washy.

"Top 9"

Come on. He added a 4th liner and a second/third liner to a team that needed 2 or 3 middle 6 F's.

Namestnikov probably a third liner on the Jets, which shows you how bad of a job Chevy has done on a glaring issue since they traded Copp and Stastny walked.

All GMs of bubble teams get labeled as wishy washy.

The Jets are currently a bubble team because he chose to run with Kuhlman, Sak, and AJF among others
