Will Stuart be traded at the TD

[KCjetsfan]

He's gonna get a 3 year extension. I'm serious

Luckily that isn't possible at this time.

 

[lanky]

Make him the playing coach of the Moose like Reggie Dunlop in Slap Shot.


Then the organization can keep him and his wife.

He's married? My wife is a Jets fan mostly thanks to Q&A. He was single a couple years ago.

His wife is a longtime TNSE employee. Trading him would be awkward

not this year, but it will happen. He will retire a Jet, I am certain of it.

I actually like Stu, but he's been badly mishandled here. He is a character guy and can be a big part of this team in the right role, which would be a dressing room leader 6/7th D making 1 or 2 million $. You see him trying to respond to the added pressures and trying to play above himself. It only makes things worse.

 

[Hobble]

If Chevy can get another GM drunk enough to take him.

 

[irunthepeg]

Hopefully.

Even if I didn't dislike Stu, which I do, Jets need to reallocate their cap space.

This. Stu is a true leader but it's just too much for him. Mistake by Chevy on that one.

Seriously, we blew more on our "glue" and "locker room guy" stuff then anyone else in the NHL. Between Thorburn, Stu, Clitsome, thats alot of high priced pom poms that to be honest arent exactly doing their job, and in Clitsome's case, isnt even able to do at least some of his job.

Does our locker room really need 6 million dollars a year to motivate?

That's exactly what it is. Nice enough guy, probably has a role & could be used effectively as an extra but Maurice or whoever it is pushing those buttons feel he has to be used all the time. Very similar to the Thorburn situation * when you have 2-3 of those guys on your roster that are playing all the time & taking time away from real players, it can't help but erode team morale

 

[sully1410]

I would love it if it happened...

But it won't.

 

[Board Bard]

I hope this trade deadline turns out better than 2 years ago, when Chevy announced Stuarts 4 year extension. I Knew it was expensive & too long back then. I was waiting for a Stuart trade news release but got a 4 year extension instead.
I think Chevy tried to move Stuart but the return was low, so he re signed him instead.

Then later when he was getting some heat for not signing free agents, he trumpeted the Stuart signing as some kind of accomplishment.

They really should allow swearing on these boards.

 

[Board Bard]

Stuart and a 6th round pick for a 7th round pick. Take my Stu, please!

 

[EpicGingy]

I'd drive to Winnipeg just to drive Stu to the airport if he got traded.

 

[SCP Guy]

Chevy just needs to find this GM and Stu is gone.....Hopefully he doesn't find him in the mirror

 

[heilongjetsfan]

Yep after those first 2 Boston goals, lets make that a bag of pucks please

Just a bag would be fine. I'm sure we have enough pucks.

It shouldn't be, guess we will find out what this team values more...winning or loyalty.

 

[Thai jet*]

Loyalty

It shouldn't be, guess we will find out what this team values more...winning or loyalty.

It's not about winning when you make your buddy the equip manager Dir of Hockey Ops. It worked at the car sales lot why not here?

 

[Aavco Cup]

It shouldn't be, guess we will find out what this team values more...winning or loyalty.

It's not that simple, he has a modified NTC. Let's assume it's 15 teams......would 1 of those teams want him? Might have nothing to do with loyalty at all. Might just be half the league kniws how "good" Mark Stuart is.

And yes it would be awkward.

 

[Just Ducky]

His wife is a longtime TNSE employee. Trading him would be awkward

And Ladd's wife is on the BoD... I know different circumstances but business is business

Let's be realistic- the cap is going down, we would have to retain salary in a bundle package to even come close to moving Stu.

Nah- we keep him...ahem stuck with this one I'm afraid

 

[Mud Turtle]

This is exactly why professional organizations don't hire family of other employees.
Wow. Bush league.

 

[Aavco Cup]

If we keep him then he will be picked by Las Vegas in the expansion draft

Always look at the bright side of life

 

[Jets]

Like to see Ladd and Stu both gone and have:
C - Wheeler
A - Byfuglien
A - Stafford

Next season. I can see a case for little instead, but I think Stafford has more experience and is more outspoken.

 

[KCjetsfan]

Yeah Stafford's whining about us being targeted by refs is true leadership material

 

[tacogeoff]

he isn't a player any cup contender would be interested in trading for at the deadline for a run based on his play this season imo. Maybe we can move him in the offseason
