Trade, FA, Rumour Thread

[voyageur]

Watching Buffalo implode itself, shedding as much salary as possible, makes me wonder how viable Pegula is right now, if his investment in the Bills will turn the Sabres into a liquidated market.

I know a lot of people on here were high on Colin Miller before, I wonder where his trade value will come in. If you could get a player like him under the radar, for a pick and prospect, and give the Sabres a salary to get them to the Cap floor, in Bryan Little, would they take it right now?

 

[voyageur]

NJ isn't under any pressure to clear cap, they don't *need* to move anyone

It's more about playing time, and using assets to get assets. Devils probably want to strengthen at forward.

Interesting idea. I'd definitely consider it.

What does Miller bring to the team we don’t already have…nothing. So it’s a waste of assets

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Miller is a guy I was hoping they'd bring in last deadline. If they're out on Dougie and there's no other big target left I'd be happy with adding him. He looked fantastic in Vegas and only started going downhill when he got to Buffalo (seems like a common occurrence).

 

[Daximus]

The fallout is the trade of either Subban or Severson you would think. Severson could help our defense, conceivably.

I think Subban only has 1 year left on his deal.

 

[BatVader]

Subban @30-50% + 2nd for Niku/Beaulieu is the most I’d go and even that gives me pause

 

[Channelcat]

Brendon Dillon. Brandon Montour. I'd pass on Savard honestly.. IC crew pushing him hard tho but... there are options out there.

Agreed on all three. I wouldn't be surprised if one of these guys ends up signing here, even Savard though. I think Montour would be my target.

Dillon is LHD and we have no need for that.
Montour isn’t really an upgrade on what we have so why bother.
Savard… meh

So you're holding out for Dougie Hamilton?

...no need for LHD? We desperately need both.

Montour is a RD and can play in the top 4 is he not. That is a pretty significant upgrade on Poolman in out top 4.

 

[bumblebeeman]

Can the Jets afford to offer Hamilton 9 million a year? Then go 5 for Pionk and 4 for Copp. The rest of the team 1 million dollar depth guys / ELCs. Could it work?

They could, but it would be a really bad idea. Imho. We can be quite sure TNSE isn't paying 9M to anyone.

 

[schmockeyknife]

copper aint taking $4

 

[robertocarlos]

I've heard strong rumors suggesting brossoit poolman forbort benn Lewis Perreault Thompson won't be back.

Jets are keeping Tony Tone though. He's good.

 

[Jetsfan79]

4.65x5. My prediction

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

Im really worried about the way other teams are throwing money at Defensemen. Its making me think a guy like Dougie could fetch 10-11M's per year. Fat chance the org would ever pay that. There goes my only hope for the Jets grabbing a top D-man.

 

[robertocarlos]

Perreault and Brossoit are the only 2 i'd even want back.

They will get more money elsewhere. Maybe $1.5 and Jets were not going there.

 

[Gil Fisher]

If we signed a true #1 RHD, we'd have to trade Demelo or Pionk....can't tie up $18m in salary down the right side.

 

[robertocarlos]

4.65x5. My prediction

He wants $5 for sure.

 

[BatVader]

DeMelo would be the one traded out.
Pionk takes the 2nd pairing RD slot and we get a cheap vet to play the bottom pairing guy

 

[robertocarlos]

Matt Hendricks signing confirmed!

He's good in the room. Penny would be good too but she's probably shy and Timmy's will pay her more.

 

[boydkc]

Maybe just maybe the Jets could bring up their six foot five defenceman who who had 14 points in 29 games and was a plus 10 last season in a crazy year. Sign Poolman as insurance. Just getting Heinola and Samberg in the lineup alone will improve the defence. Draft and Develop.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Let's be real. We get a legit top RHD via free agency or drafting. Free agency seems unlikely because no free agent elite top 4 D will choose Winnipeg. Maybe one if rumors on hfboards.com are to be believed. So trade but bye Nikky or bye KC... nah not worth it imo.

So you trade for Demelo types.. Montour with Morrissey and Pionk with Zadorov. Demelo stays with Stan the man.


Montour/Miller Morrissey
Pionk Stan or Zads still.
Demelo Stan Sam or Ville.

D is better.

We ain't getting buff or an equivalent unless we draft him. I'd be good with Montour Miller Zads Dillon Whoever other than forbort poolman benn.
