Confirmed with Link: WPG acquiring Nino Niederreiter from NASH for a 24 2nd

[Zhamnov5GoalGame]

making perfect sense. Would like to see an upgrade on Samberg.
ELC has nothing to do with anything.
Why would you want perfetti out of the line up? that makes no sense.

It's called sarcasm.
Samberg is not the issue with our D.
A certain 6million dollar guy who has floundered for most of the season has caused a lot more damage than the rookie.

The trade market for D is crap this year.
We'd have to over pay to bring in a guy no better than what we already have.
How does that help?

1 more low cost move for a depth forward and then its up to the team

This is what I figure as well -- like 1 or 2 depth players, would just about close out activity on the Jets trading front. Great deal on Nino, Chevy pulled off, and I would have thought Nashville could have got a better return ? but great deal for the Jets, and the type of player they need. Well done Chevy

I think Chevy has another trick up his sleeve, especially with the Perfetti injury.

 

[ps241]

Love this pick up for what it cost. The kicker is getting the extra season of term. Chevy did well.

How long have I been crying for scoring winger depth? Literally all season. Seriously, it took this long to address it. Yes, I know circumstances like trying to make the playoffs factored in for the selling team, but man. This long with such poor depth.

This replaces perfetti whose regular season is done. Our bottom 6 still needs work

We really didn't need it until the last couple of months. This deal would not have been possible until now.

Besides, it makes sense to wait and see if the players you have can do it, and what you need closer to the playoffs.

Our bottom 6 were scoring at a much higher rate earlier. What if we picked up scoring depth when you wanted it, got pushed right up against the cap and then 2 of our d went down? Then we'd have a much harder time trying to address that.

Chevy is doing it right, in my mind. What the fans want and what's most logical for the team to do are often 2 different things.

Roster management is a game of chess, it takes patience and thinking several steps ahead.

Agreed, especially with the additional moves yesterday to clear cap space.

Where do you guys think that Nino lines up if Perfetti was healthy?

 

[BoneDocUK]

Where do you guys think that Nino lines up if Perfetti was healthy?

My bet would be on the RW spot on either a pumped-up 2nd line with KFC and PLD or as an actual scoring option on the 3rd.

Or maybe even as a natural RW alongside 55 / 27, finally pushing Wheeler down a line or two? If that’s still allowed?

His 18 goals so far this season puts him 4th on the Jets, to me he's in our top 6 easy. At least until Chevy gets his next 30 goal scorer from the bargain bin .

 

[jigglysquishy]

Love this trade.

Forward core is stacked come playoff time.

 

[gojetsgo]

the best thing about nino is he likes to shoot the puck... we need someone who doesn't want to overpass all the time

He is also a pretty hard nosed player and will do the dirty work and finish hits. Getting a little tougher to play against would be nice.

I'd agree -
He's top six on this team and not just based on his scoring - his 200 ft game, along with a gritty edge, is something they absolutely needed .
This is a very good add - and a very safe one for Chevy as this player makes us better for a couple of years regardless of TY's potential PO run.

He didn't have anyone to pass to in Nashville .

 

[LowLefty]

He didn't have anyone to pass to in Nashville .

It's interesting that this player (according to some of the Nashville fan comments), was not even part of their "core" - but he was their number 2 scorer.
The more I look at this, the more I like it -

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Good pickup, fair price, 1 extra year.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

The only thing we need to keep in mind is that Nino has hot and cold streaks when it comes to scoring, and the cold streaks seems to happen often in the playoffs.

I'm imagining what this place will look like should that happen this year

All in all, I still like the trade, as our drafting record with 2nds hasn't been very good, so even if the above does happen, I'm not going to complain.

On the flip side out current bottom 6 only has cold streaks.

This is exhibit A of the sneaky type of moves for undervalued good players that I wanted Chevy to make.

Go out and get one more of these players.

 

[Adam da bomb]

So who comes out of the line up? Axl?

he was sent back to the moose, so gagner will play today and most likely come out tuesday

So who moves down when Cole returns? Perfetti? Wheeler?
