Rumor: Jets trying to move Mason Appleton

[Nucker42]

3rd liner on a lot of teams, if the price is as low as I assume, this would be great. Has to be protected though, right?

Price has been high so far for all of these expansion type deals….

 

[HuGo Sham]

why? it's such a great rum!

 

[Lorenzo1000]

Garrioch is Eklund level.

Perfect response! Well done you!

 

[One Winged Angel]

Rangers should be in on him.

get this done.

I think the Jets will come to regret this. Ship Copp out and keep Apples instead

agree

If Copp isn’t signing a fair long term deal to stay in Winnipeg, I hope they leave him exposed for Seattle. It’s the most logical thing to do.

Hope not since if that's the case he has more than zero value

I would have been trading Copp before I would be trading Appleton.
Guess he won’t be protected then.

Wish the Canucks traded for him instead or also traded for him in addition to Dickinson and left Motte exposed

Would have gone from having a terrible 3rd line to a solid one.

 

[StreetHawk]

Moving Appleton would mean someone else gets claimed and most likely it would be a Dman in either DeMelo or Stanley. So, then the Jets would be down Appleton and one of the Dmen and get back what a draft pick in round 3? Is a 3rd round pick worth losing 2 instead of 1 roster player?

Probably not.

Stars moved Dickinson for a 3rd, but I don't see anyone that they would lose instead that would be of any signficance, which isn't the case with Winnipeg.

 

[Digital Kid]

I think it goes without saying if you have depth, you lose someone good to Seattle.

 

[untouchable21]

Unless Chevy is confident he can get a late 1st (22-31) or early 2nd ( first 10 selections) by trading him then let him be the Jets expansion loss.

Exactly. If they dump Appleton then they lose him AND Demelo.

I think your under valuing Motte. Injuries killed him but he has been a different player since the bubble. Rousell is the guy ya move IMO. I still think we get a top six guy that will push Pearson down and all of a sudden one of our biggest issues is fixed.
Podz, Pearson, Dick, Motte, Beagle, Highmore, Lind, Gaj, Lockwood, Zac is not only a big improvement that's a lot of depth. A 3rd line of Podz, Jason, Pearson would create some favourable ice-time.

I think considering Appleton is signed I am guessing they are looking for a 2nd at least.
