I'd love to see Ehlers with the Jackets.
Pieces on the table:
Kirill Marchenko
Denton Mateychuk
Yegor Chinakhov
Corson Ceulemans
Cole Sillinger
Jackets 2024 1st
Kings 2023 1st
If they don't draft top 3, they might prioritize trading for a center. And if they can't sign a top 4 LD, they'll need to trade for one. Dillon might be a backup plan. But Ehlers is in that high end category for me, the type you've got to make an offer for.
I consider Winnipeg a hockey market. They've got stable ownership. They should be able to handle it. The core group has significant value and should fetch them considerable returns to expedite the rebuild/retool.can a team like Winnipeg go through a full rebuild ? if so it would be the best decision imo

LA will take Lowry off your hands.
If they sell now while all these players have value it would garner some terrific returns.We are talking about that on our boards right now. Can they? I don't know. Should they? Maybe. It really depends if they can get people too the arena when we are bad
How's Dillon looking lately? What's the value there?
Buffalo *should* have interest in Hellebuyck in theory, but it would be one of a tightrope of a deal.
I don't have an offer though, because it would be super nuanced to us, and of course the Jets' ask.

Yeah, the contract is the key right. Levi is the future and the plan, but not next year when we absolutely need nhl goaltending...You guys just went out to get Levi to the team do you want to bring in Helly and sign him for 6 or 7 years after that and block him?
If you do Ill put something out and you tell me if its horrible
2023 1st + Conditional 2024 1st(if he resigns and you can protect this pick) + one of Savoie/Ostlund/Kulich.

Re:price:
Starts with 2023 1st. No doubt.
1st 2024 OR one of Ostlund/Rosen is probably priece 2.
Piece 3 is we send back UPL.
If there's a piece 4 involved, 2nds/b-prospects come in here.
So I don't think you're incredibly far off, but it wouldn't be quite 1st,1st,Savoie/Kulich. Zero shot of that.
Disclaimer: I don't think Buffalo management goes for it. I'm not sure I do either. But they have a goaltending issue to solve, and they can't play the 'sign someone's backup with 29 NHL games' card again...
Hard to say. He seems to be more highly regarded by HF Jets fans than the ones i know personally. I see him as more of a framer than a finisher so he might not be a bad choice to start the process.GM has to be the first one go, right?
I like that ideaI don't think the Kings can afford to trade for Hellebuyck, but I wonder if swapping Schmidt for Iafallo+ (for salary cap purposes) would make sense for Winnipeg? Kings have a lot of young players that aren't all going to make the team. Guys like Bjornfot, Grans, Fagemo, Thomas, etc.
Anderson - Doughty
Gavrikov - Clarke
Schmidt - Roy
