Hey guys, I'm still a Coyotes fan and hoping we don't fall back too much this year without Whitney.
Obviously Ryan O'Reilly would be an ideal fit, but I think Colorado would want more added to the hypothetical Gormley deal.
Not that he is available or that that I'd want him traded, but any interest in Burmistrov? He just seems like the most likely trade chip the JETS have to maybe get another defenseman. For Burmistrov to be made available, Scheifele would have to prove ready to play and contribute regularly though.
Jets imo need to add depth to their defense and preferably someone with some sand paper to their game because we are loaded with puck movers and really only have one aggressive bottom pairing guy in Stuart. Ideally Klesla would be great, but his impending UFA status in 14/15 would likely be too short term for the JETS liking.
Stone would fit the bill, but another thing to consider is the amount of right shooting defenseman we have in the organization (Buff, Bogosian, Postma, Redmond Trouba) Perhaps something with Summers? Granted if it's Burmi involved, there would be a significant plus added from the Coyotes. If it were around Gormley/Burmi the plus would be added by the JETS.
Don't know if there's any deal to be had that works for both team to be quite honest because it seems like both could use help upfront, just spit balling here. Maybe Scheifele isn't ready and Burmi takes another step forward in his development, making this all mute.
Anyways GOOD LUCk to you guys this season. Here's hoping you can upset those pesky Kings this year.
