TSN: Trade Deadline: what do we do!

[Mortimer Snerd]

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

Nope. There are better ways to reach the floor

Not everyone agrees that everything is great with the Jets.

Ummm no kidding what's you're point here

Never said that everyone agrees to anything if you let you're entertainment rule you're life...well..have at er.

I choose to watch the jets through thick and thin...my choice...and I sure as f*** ain't letting anyone influence me otherwise...I guess my point is, if it causes you that much consternation, you should probably move along...

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.

Absolutley

Chevy seems to think he has great players on this team unfortunately it's not translating on the ice lately

 

[CorgisPer60]

You can't be disappointed in what is expected behaviour. The Jets shored up their offensive depth for relatively cheap, which is what I wanted. Once Perfetti is back, they have a decent forward core. They are stronger now than they were two weeks ago. That is irrefutable. Is that enough? Doubtful. They need to get back to scoring goals. This team will be competitive so long as Hellebuyck remains here to allow them to be. I still think this is the last go with this elder core.

I'm really tired of the constant treading water, though. Not good enough to be true contenders, and not bad enough to be at the bottom of the league. Just undesirable enough to not attract the top talent. Just in the middle. Kind of depressing.

 

[DRW204]

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

it's gonna sound like im shitting on lowry, and i probably am. but i don't see him figuring out how to score goals on a line centered by lowry. none of our higher end top-6ers have figured it out, i don't think jesse p will be the one to crack da vinci's code.

 

[DRW204]

Chevy just said he's had no talks of extension with any of the pending RFAs

 

[blueandgoldguy]

Nope. There are better ways to reach the floor

Such as?

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

“We were as aggressive as we were able to be”. Chevy seems mad, something is odd here. What restricted him?

 

[Been around]

I cheer for my team plain and simple

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Settle down people

 

[Been around]

Settle down people

I'm calm

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Based off of Chevy's actions this deadline, he started off thinking this team could do well (Nino) then as we lost games he had second thoughts. He didn't want to give up premiere assets (1st+) for a rental, so he went bargin bin shopping.

The best we can hope for is a 1st round exit so we can draft a decent player.

Next season, we'll probably be like the Canucks this trade deadline.

 

[cbcwpg]

Chevy with the standard " I believe in this group ".

Given the changes that were or were not made, and giving Chevy the benefit that he has to work in Winnipeg, he has no choice but to believe in this group.

Did Chevy improve the team? Yes he did. Did he improve it enough? I don't think so. I think it is up to the players that are already here to win or not, not our two additions.

 

[gojetsgo]

Namestnikov first game may be a revenge game for those 17 seconds he was a shark lol

 

[SensibleGuy]

I wish I could be so simple as to just cheer and cheer and cheer no matter what happens!

 

[voyageur]

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.

I think Chevy must the see the Central for what it is.

Colorado is the best team on paper. But they will get leveraged depth wise with all their star power cashing in. Needing some low value contracts to pay dividends.

Dallas has a good team, and good prospects, able to sign UFAs. The value of the Benn and Seguin contracts will at some point be a true hindrance for this team.

At the bottom Chicago and Arizona are going to be in the tank for the foreseeable future.

So you are stuck in that pack with Minnesota, St. Louis and Nashville.

Nashville has taken moves to rebuild/retool, but with Josi, Mc Donaugh, Forsberg and Duchene still there, it's not going to be a clear tank, rather moving parts.

St. Louis traded at the deadline, for draft capital. But they are not rebuilding team, with all their top 4 d-men signed, and some long term contracts handed out. I expect them to pivot back into contention next year. Their big concern is far can they go with Binnington, I imagine.

Minnesota still has 2 more years of Suter/Parise buyout pain, so they can not operate much out of that threshold. Will be required to bring in young players to contribute. And that's where you look at where Rossi is compared to Perfetti, or somewhat in the same ballpark where Lambos is compared to Heinola. Goaltending could be a real strength of this team though, as Wallstedt develops.

So Chevy is still in the window of contention for the next couple of years. Really depends on how he makes out in trades he is forced to make, who re-signs, and what is available through trade, since free agency has never had any significant impact. Edit: And the development process.

Still watching the deadline show and the Canucks GM is in front of a wall with the old Nucks colours and logos. Holy hell, can they bring those back full-time? They look great

 

[Gabe Kupari]

If nothing is there or Chevy don't see the value then I'm ok with no moves. I understand winnipeg is on lots of no move lists so.. it is what it is

Think we see changes this summer with the group tho

 

[Jetfaninflorida]

Gotta love Chevy and the press conferences:

Q Did the last 6 or 7 games change your approach?
A Yeah, No, Like blah blah blah

Follow up question for clarification from quality Winnipeg sports media since the answer was literally both yes and no:

<crickets>

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Did he acquire some depth forwards? Yes.

Come playoffs if we are in it

Connor/PLD/Perfetti
Wheeler/Schief/Ehlers
Appleton/Lowry/Nieds
Namestikov/Stenlund/Barron

I think that is much better then the start of the year. Is it enough? Likely not but that really depends on that top 6 and our goalie

 

[JetsFan815]

I am happy with the deadline, Jets and Chevy were clearly spooked by the run this team has been on in the last month and half and caused them to reevaluate their plans on whether this core is worth doubling down on at the cost of futures.

My only complaint is that I would have liked to see us leverage our capspace to get a couple of 4ths but doesn't seem like there was opportunity to do that today but it did exist over the last week. Would have also like to see us unload Stanley but that can be done at the draft.

I know some here are upset at Chevy but this is on the players. They have played like complete ass in the last 1.5 months. The team literally has a lottery team esque 3rd worst in the league record since Jan 16. (while being mostly at full health) No rational or realistic GM is gonna sell the farm to shore up a group like that. If you wanna be mad, be mad at the players.

All in all a decent deadline.

 

[None]

I think they intend to for next season? That's why they're so front and center if I remember right anyways.

 

[UFO]

I can say for sure that I won't be dealt to the Jets today.

Lots were hoping for changes last summer with this group...But here we are, again.
