Winnipeg Jets going into the 24/25 season

I think that Dillon moving on isn't the end of the world. The logjam at LHD is well known and established. Snerg can slot into the second pairing there no problem

You can't re-sign all your 30+ year old vets and make room for young talent at the same time. This signals to me that Ville has a spot on the team next year (if true)

Team toughness would sure take a hit. Something were already lacking imo.

Right decision. Soft and disappears in the playoffs. If we can get a solid top 4 d-man i'd be happy.

 

[Orrrules]

I guess he's been holding Pionk back and they want to upgrade.

 

[Buffdog]

I love Ehlers and would like to see him around long term, but if he's traded I hope that he takes the Ehlers fans from HFJets with him wherever he goes

Mod - Edit

 

[Royale With Cheese]

They are going to regret this one if they let him walk IMO.

Strange that they haven’t had any talks whatsoever, but Dilly’s camp might want more term than the team will offer him at his age. He’s got the grit you need for the playoffs and isn’t a liability, he’s definitely a good player to keep around for 1-2 more years.

Lmao, we still have people crying over Essymont. If Ehlers leaves these people are going to be insufferable for a decade.

I can’t believe the playoffs aren’t even over and we have the mid summer madness taking hold. Jets finish in 4th place and we have people wanting a rebuild . Just throw whatever “youth” into the line up and in Unicornlandia they will magically all succeed and one day we might become …….wait for it….a top 10 team.

A top 4 team that continues to shit the bed in the playoffs year after year(historically this season). Trading Ehlers is hardly a rebuild. This team needs new blood and a shakeup. The old blood aint cutting it.

Totally agree, right now he's our only defenseman with size and toughness and a little skill . Would rather keep him and somehow trade Schmidt and his 6 million a year contract, they can have Stanley too.

Well, we're definitely changing the HC, maybe moving Ehlers, probably not re-signing our #3 defenseman, and not sure what's going on with the UFAs (Monahan? DeMelo? But Brossoit, Toffoli and Miller are likely gone). Lots of balls in the air...

Of course last year at this point it looked like all of Dubois, Scheifele and Hellebuyck were going...

Dillon turns 34 in November

We already have Schief, Helle, Lowry, Nino, Demelo (hopefully), Schmidt (hopefully not), and Namestnikov who are over 30 on the roster for next season. Jomo is less than a year away as well.

If we're gonna start inserting some youth into the line up, we can't keep everyone

I love Dillon but I'd like to see a left side of Jomo, snerg and heinola to start the season

the answer for how the Jets can supposedly be like Dallas right now:

- top talented vets - our Seguin and Benn equivalents (so, 2 of scheifele, connor or ehlers) - should be demoted and replaced with prospects
- play perfetti, or samberg more (both were a bunch of nothings in the POs)
- insert Heinola

Well said. I like Dillion but he's getting up there in age. We also have Snerg who has put in the time and should be able to handle the second pairing role.

It also opens a spot on the left for Ville and clears some cap for a pote trial move to upgrade at RD.

 

[Orrrules]

Pionk Snerg was a disaster pairing from what I saw. In fact Snerg hasn't looked good with anyone except maybe Schmidt at times.

Blow it up and start over.

I’d rather keep Dillion than pionk and Schmidt, but, we are where we are.

 

[Gurglesons]

I'm shocked how much positivety there is in here about Dillon.

Thought that guy was donezo.

To be fair, how does that him any different than any of our other players? It’s impossible to be negative about all of them for a team who finished 4th in regular season.

If Ehlers leaves and unless one of the younger players makes a leap forward. The Jets could be thrown back to the stone age of 20-22 Jets, forget playoffs, the regular season might be in danger.

1. I think you're overestimating his impact on the team as a whole
2. A lot depends on what we get back for him

Losing one top 6 guy shouldn't completley cripple us. Much of his production could be made up for with a respectable power play. Add that to the production of his replacement (which won't be zero) and the potential upgrading of the defense if that's the return

It's not like he's McDavid

 

[tbcwpg]

Forget the regular season if Ehlers leaves, what about the future of the franchise?!

I like Ehlers too but he's done nothing in the playoffs for us. I would like to keep him but if we could get a number 2 defenseman for him i think you do it.
