Confirmed with Link: Jets acquire Joe Morrow from Montreal for 4th round pick (2018)

[SCP Guy]

Yup this move lets Poolman get some experience in a hopefully long Moose playoff run....that is worth the price alone

 

[Jets]

For the same impact we couldve:
Claimed Oduya ( flyers beat us priority though)
Got Rielly for a 5th
Claimed Postma

 

[Derfel]

We needed depth in D, and he can and will play either L or R. Certainly worth a 4th rounder as an investment for the playoffs, and we can sign him to league minimum and he makes a solid Moose player.

 

[Skidooboy]

that chair in the press box wasn't gonna hold itself down.

 

[Derfel]

For the same impact we couldve:
Claimed Oduya ( flyers beat us priority though)

No, we would have paid more for Oduya in salary. Mind you, he'd be a better player... but this is a cheaper option for depth.

 

[Jets]

I suppose. Would’ve preferred the pizza man

 

[Calendal]

Does that mean that he can play both sides or that he can't play either side?

Not impressed really but maybe all he needs is a change of scene. We'll see.

4th rounder for pending RFA.. Insurance and nothing more at a fair price.

 

[Atoyot]

Not a huge fan of Morrow, but fine with the trade. Would have preferred Reilly/Antipin.

 

[Guardian17]

Good for Poolman to get some playing time with the Moose.

Yes. But he is not as good as Chiarot so ......

 

[garret9]

Yes. But he is not as good as Chiarot so ......

But unlike Chiarot:

• RFA
• Places Poolman in AHL
• Cheaper than Poolman to help with bonuses and whatnot

Could turn out well, who knows? The guy must have some talent. Maybe he was developed badly. But so far he has been seriously bad. I hope we don't have to actually play him.

 

[ulf]

Any grit to his game?
If he can skate we may make him look good.....here's hoping.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Claimed Postma

No more free pizzas for Johnny O NO thanks!

Postma Nah it ran its course fully there as well

Morrow seems like a great depth maneuver
Hopefully we don’t need him that much

I'm at the Elephant & Castle at the moment. Fellow Jets fan at the wood bought me a beer. We clinked pints & drank "To Stastny."

I just returned the favour. Now we're drinking "To Morrow"

To Morrow

This year is the most games he has played in the NHL. I wonder if he is just a late developer and outplays Enstrom to earn his spot next season. Maybe just optimism.

 

[mazmin]

I read somewhere on the boards that Enstrom was hurt in practice and left the ice.

If so, this trade has greater significance. His 5 goals in 38 games represents over 10 goals on a full season and that was on a poor offensive team in Montreal. He might add a bit of offense when he's called upon. Let's just hope we don't need to rely to heavily on him.

As a plus, I hear he has a big shot which is always fun considering how many big shots the Jets have in the lineup

The guy who is in the 5th percentile in expected goals against is unlikely passing the guy who is in the 97th percentile in expected goals against within a year.

Should have kept reading.

Ooooooof, that's rough

 

[jetsforever]

This guy is going to be great for puns, hopefully starting with the GDT toMorrow.

 

[Tommigun]

This was a needed move. Now we are set. Injuries will happen. This also of course allows Poolboy to play again. Just fine fine signings all around by Chevy.
