Doesn’t Vancouver like our dmen? Wouldn’t take much for Canucks to play 6 former jets dmen.

I think both are good, I would probably be inclined to go for Hoglander just for his age and better cap implications in the future.

he was really good for us against edmonton in the bubble during the playoffs
Friedman is an insider that basically states what HF folk talk about daily. The team is going to do what's best for them? Shocked I say.

So if we trade Pionk, which would be my choice, are we comfortable with any of Heinola, Gawanke or Chisholm stepping up and stepping in to play the Right side?
If somebody wants a Right D, I doubt we're getting back anything useful on the right side. I think they gave Dillon and Samberg a quick look there in training camp. Likely we would need to insert an off side defenseman in that spot.
I'm ready for a new look on the backend. I don't think what we currently have, is a winning formula.

I take it as the Jets are willing to move a defenceman if it makes them a better team and not just to another team a favour.

Well of course they are going to do what they think is best for themselves. Does anyone ever do any different?
Question is, what does that mean they are going to do and why?
not sure. but the top-pair has been struggling this year. id get demelo back up there to stabilize them in the defensive end.
the time to have traded a dman/Pionk would've been in the off-season. teams are pretty tight against the cap, and - assuming it's a Fwd being returned - not sure who are some names that are out there available for trade.

Well, Heinola plays the right side a fair bit, Gawanke is a RHS - and then of course, we had an NHL ready RHS Dmen and tossed him on the scrap heap. So I doubt we are moving a RHS Dman.
I doubt we are moving any of the current top 5. IF we move anyone it would be Stan, Snerg or someone lower on the depth chart.
Lol yeah, Kovacevic was the answer
Yeah that is what I was getting at. Hopefully a team gets desperate for a dmen and gives us what we need for it.

lol yeah, he's a useless plug who never could have played any part in improving the Jets flawed D corps. Funny how he can perform well for Habs though.
Nobody is saying he could ever have become that 1RD we have needed for years. But he could have been a perfectly good 3RD who could fill a spot if someone else was traded. He might even have been more effective than some of the much more expensive options we have now. Just maybe. Certainly would have been worth a try.
But Jets gave up on him without ever giving him a shot in spite of his steady development and good play in the A, so he obviously can't be any good. His good play for Mtl is all smoke and mirrors and he will soon crash and burn - because Jets could never fail to evaluate a player properly.

Garland, myself. We need scoring a lot more than a pest. Although Hoglander seems to have more scoring touch than many in our bottom-six, I'd still rather have Garland's level of production down there. Although if he was playing with Lowsie instead of Miller/Horvat I don't know how much he'd score.
Honestly don't know enough about either player, but that's my gut feeling.
Time to shake things up. Let's do what's worst for us and maybe things will get better? Like reverse psychology perhaps?

My thought also, but as you say, not knowing the players really well, it is hard to say.
