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

[Arthur Fonzarelli]

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

You should have kept reading. Only minutes later Maurice announced he was fine.

It was all an elaborate plot to draw attention to jets defence aND git uso Morrow. Well played Chevy!

 

[Jets 31]

Enstrom just fainted when he heard we got Stastny and he has the best chance he has ever had to win a cup .

With Enstrom not injured and Trouba most likely back in March the Jets also hold some very decent depth on the back end now:

LHD
Morrissey
Enstrom
Kulikov
Chiarot
Morrow

RHD
Trouba
Byfuglien
Myers
Poolman

Since Morrow and Chiarot can also play the right side I can see Poolman getting top minutes with Niku in the AHL which is good for his development and the success of the Moose.

Chevy did well! His TDL'18 gets an 'A' grade from me

This trade is a waste of a 4th. It's a 4th so can't be too worked up about it but they could've just claimed Postma from the waiver wire or given up a 7th for Cody Franson.

 

[WiscoJet]

Not going to lie thought this was a waste of a move until Chevy explained his playoff experience last year in getting big minutes for Boston. Shoulder shrug I guess, at least he is an RFA.

Then again I was nervous about adding Kulikov who was in a terrible situation in Buffalo and has proven to be a great add by Chevy.

When's the last time you saw Postma throw a body check?
edit ... he is just another one of the many tools in the toolbox for Maurice to use.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Postma still being severly overrated by certain posters on here. The Nic Petan of D men .

 

[hurricanedave]

Bad at defense, but serviceable at scoring. Honestly not a very positive impact while on the ice, but better to have Poolman playing some games for the Moose.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

From the very pleasurable Montreal board on the morrow trade, seems lacking defense side of the game.

Petan at least tries to throw a check, Postma didn't even try!

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Any talk of morrow in line against press?

 

[Le Tricolore]

Morrow isn't great by any means, but on a bottom pairing he should do fine. Every now and then he'll surprise you with a cannon of a slapshot too, which is fun.

 

[Howard Chuck]

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.

We were repeatedly warned how bad Kulikov was...... that turned out just fine.

Obviously something they liked about him. The Jets have made very few errors in judgement in the recent past. I'll give them the benefit of doubt.

Hey love your avatar , if you want to jump on the Jets bandwagon you might see those two in our stands , they go to some of our games .

I'm sold. The Jets will be my bandwagon team this post-season!

Morrow spoke following morning skate about the trade and more.

He's gotta compete with Trouba right now for chief PB popcorn eater. The competition for that spot will be fierce.

Nah, he'll compete for the job of the guy who gets the popcorn for Trouba, Tanev and Lowry, Mathias and Dano will be tough to beat out!

Probably shouldnt be tough to beat out Dano but Matthias looks jacked .

Montreal must be pretty toxic right now

 

[puck stoppa]

Great addition as a cost controlled cheap RFA #6-8 dman that we can have play in the coming years as depth player. We needed some depth there next year. This tells me Niku spends another full year in AHL. I think he stays here on the cheap and Jets see him as a good PB guy that can fill in with an injury or two on the left side.

We've had other 'projects' come into the organization and turn around just due to the people and players. I think our reputation is finally paying off.

Trouba re-signing and Enstrom's willingness to take a pay cut are the unknowns..
