Meh. Not sure why we traded for an older, worse winger, but meh.

 

[JetsUK]

STASTNY DONE DEAL!!!




Or mebbe not.

 

[Maukkis]

OK who the f*** took over for Chevy

 

[Romang67]

Meh. Not sure why we traded for an older, worse winger, but meh.

He has outpaced De Leo's production the past two seasons.

Guessing some of it may come down to size, maybe?

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Neither are likely NHLers. Meh swap.

 

[Maukkis]

Could there be something position-related to this? Kerdiles is listed as a LW, which I don't think De Leo has played.

Oh, you're right, by a bit. .2ish or so

And he's older.

Still meh.

 

[Daximus]

Interesting trade. Kerdiles was considered a pretty solid prospect a few years ago but has just been toiling away in the minors, not really getting much of a shot at the NHL and suffering through a plethora of injuries, including a really bad concussion last year.
He's a great skater, goods size and has some decent hands. His shot is his best asset as he's more of a scorer. Uses his size effectively to crash the net.

Could end up being a good pickup for us if he can stay healthy.

Oh, no doubt it's meh either way!

 

[None]

Closer to home for De Leo.

Likely just moving around AHLers due to positions yeah.

 

[MardyBum]

Oh, no doubt it's meh either way!

This was not the blockbuster I was expecting when I saw Jets on the trade board again.

 

[bustamente]

Nothing for Nothing = Nothing

 

[Deif]

De Leo had no future here so seems fair.

DeLeo played a lot of C in his rookie season, but last season he mostly played LW, I think.

 

[Guardian17]

More of a Moose trade as it didn't seem De Leo was going to crack the Jets lineup.

 

[Neuf]

Chase De Leo with his second of the night

 

[jetdiehard]

De Leo going back home, nice of the Jets to accommodate him.

 

[Afterburner]

Meh. Nice he gets to go home though

 

[Mud Turtle]

I’m totally ok with this deal. Getting a bigger player who has flashed scoring ability in college
Maybe a reclamation project. You never know, there might be something there still.
DeLeo wasn’t going anywhere with the Jets.

 

[mazmin]

Both long shots to make an impact in the NHL at this point... but if I had to choose one over the other it would be Kerdiles.

 

[Scheifele55]

Kerdiles had an improved season statistically. I hope that with a skilled AHL roster he will continue that.

 

[almostawake]

Kerdiles is a better, more productive, AHL player when healthy.

He has a pretty good shot at lasting 4 to 7 years in the NHL as a bottom 6 guy, if he can stay healthy.

But health is a serious question.

 

[JetsFan815]

OK who the **** took over for Chevy

Has the weather at the cottage been bad these last few days? Someone check really quick.
