I dont think he is the solution to jets here but who knows.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Who does he replace in our lineup? I don't think he's even an 8D on our squad right now. Why??

 

[Laterade]

probably for conditional picks?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I don't see the purpose of this trade or the point for that matter. Random trade, but other than that I think he plays on the bottom or just joins the taxi squad. But he had a NTC.

HF needs to worry about their crashes, this one was brutal.

 

[pictman]

Why ? Because we are woefully undermanned if we lose a D man. I don't mind it as long as he is a depth D man.

 

[jetsforever]

Now this is what I call excitement!

 

[RRenegade]

Meh, price was right for some insurance, the real upgrades will be Samberg in for Forbort and Heinola in for Poolman?

 

[howkie]

Why, och well

 

[Siludin]

Jim "we're two years away" Benning, everyone!

Why even do this? If I were the Jets I'd rather just play Heinola or Samberg. Seems like making a trade for the sake of making a trade.

Benn's not awful, adds a little leadership and grit, and if he's a 7/8 D, he's good insurance incase of injuries. Don't play him as an anchor for a line like Green did though.

Yeah I agree. He's not that bad, definitely a nice body to have as collateral for the playoffs.

Trade just to say they made a trade. Jets had a real good shot here but the leafs are now clear front runners.here. missed opportunity by the Jets and it will cost em

You get a gift wrapped path to the conference finals and you're scared to give up a 1st in a garbage draft???

He even occasionally has a smart offensive play.

Trading just Benn seems like a waste though, Virtanen, Hamonic (to you guys), Sutter and a few others should have gotten something.

Ah well, got Jets for the playoffs, I can say I have an official stake now.

Don't worry, the Canucks will finally win a draft lottery this year. You have my blessing. Also because I'm getting sick of my friends screaming in agony in my basement every year.

Well, in that case, this year wasn't a total write off!

Nah, it still sucked to see the team regress like this.

The 6th round pick is better then what we got for Gaudette though, so...positivity?

Double post.

Not that I disagree about the draft, but who would you have used the first on? Hall? Mantha? Foligno?

They already got Dubois for the scratched Laine and....ok Roslovic is doing well, but wasn't about to do that in Winnipeg.

A great D could have been worth it, but more forwards, especially big, heavy players or top notch scorers (if Hall rebounds) aren't what the Jets needed.

Jets can’t just keep giving up first rounders for rentals. Can’t sign free agents and having players refuse trades messes things up. Gotta keep the farm going to to get quality players.
Also I’d be surprised if he didn’t offer a first for Manson. If it was a first for Savard I’m happy he didn’t do it.

What are they waiting for? Wheeler to be old and washed up? Dubois' contract to expire? To get back in a division with Colorado, Vegas and St Louis?

They've blown so many opportunities to win. God forbid they might have traded the pick they used to draft Logan Stanley! Heck, they might even have beat Vegas in the semis

Glad Jets didn't waste anything for this year, this is a wash year, even if a team wins the Cup*.
