Rumor: Yzerman scouting Jets

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I really think he would bring a big presence to the Bolts top 9. A 6'5 250lbs winger that can play a physical style with net presence would make an already formidable team, even more so. Also he can drop back on D if the Bolts need it. One could only imagine a pairing of 6'7 Hedman and 6'5 Buff. lol

It was just an idea I had, for I have no idea what Yzerman would be looking for from the Jets line up. I mean do you go in person to scout Lowry, Petan, Matthius, or Copp? To me it seems if a guy in his position is going to scout, I would have to think he is looking at options that are bigger. This was my initial thought.

Wouldn't be surprise if the Jets are trying to acquire a player in a package of Petan, Matthias and Lowry.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Um... Okay.
Except Lowry is much better than Pacquette and Little is better than Johnson...

Lowry and Paquette are both good 4cs idk why one would be much better than the other. I agree Lowry might be a bit better.

Little-Johnson is debatable. Both are struggling now but I expect that to change. I prefer Johnson due to his playoff scoring ability. Both are real nice 2cs.

Wheeler seems more of a like someone Yzerman would want.

Top 5-7 RW in the NHL, Captain......yeh I'm sure he would love him.....he's not available.

We wish

Yeah. I, for one, would want to graduate from university tomorrow. What would you like, my dear?

Only way we would get Wheeler is in NHL 18 not a chance we would get him.

You don't have to say 5-7. I can only think of three better right wingers. (Kucherov, Kane, Tarasenko)

I'd probably still take Ovi and Benn as well, but the point is he's pretty damn good.

Neither of which are right wingers.

Ah, missed the RW part and read winger. Fair enough.

 

[Channelcat]

I think this has gotten a bit off track. Think we are looking at a Trouba/Sergechev type deal.

No chance. We're a cap team - so we move an ELC for a pending RFA who is in for a big raise?

C'mon son.

 

[These Are The Days]

If Sergachev sustains his current success all season he has a chance as a sleeper pick for a Calder nomination. Not saying he'll win. I'm saying there's a chance he could be nominated. Every so many several games you can see Sergachev take over the game like Victor Hedman does for about 10 or 15 seconds whether it's an incredible pass (like the one to Kucherov) whether it's an open space or after avoiding several would be defenders, making smart plays along the boards, sneaking in for goals or grade A scoring chances or a little bit of his own razzle dazzle carrying the puck. It's never anything he does very often but when he makes those plays they stand out and you say, "Oh wow this kid is gonna be special"

Make no mistake, Sergachev is still a major work in progress but there is no way on earth or heaven he's going to the Jets. With the way Sergachev is playing it's entirely possible that in 3 years (after he develops more) we'll be saying trading for him for Drouin was one of the best trades in team history.

Oh good lord. Even in the world where the cap does not exist, bolts dont do this. We think very highly of serge.

 

[Hunter368]

It appears the Bolts can’t afford Trouba. Bolts can’t afford to lose any of the 3 core pieces which is understandable and the only two prospects they have of any interest to the Jets as a return on Trouba they can’t afford to give up. Other secondary assets like Johnson are of no interest imo.

I see no deal here.

C'mon son.

Sergachev, Callahan, Point for Trouba and Lowry.

Makes the money work for TB. Their monster D gets even tougher just don't know if this kills their depth scoring. Point can move to 2c to keep up with Laine and Ehlers and let Little and Perrault shelter Roslovic on the 3rd line.

Richest owner in the league can buy Callahan out

 

[Field of Dreams]

If I were an NHL GM I would file a restraining order on Yzerman.

Lmao what

Why would we trade our 2c who is young and producing, plus our own young stud dman, for a dman who is good but would push our free agent signing out of the lineup?

 

[howkie]

I dont understand why people keeps saying Cheavy should watch out. He desont need to do anything, if Yzerman doesnt offer something he wont like he wont take it. Sure maybe Tampa could get Dano for a midtier pick and than explode in Tampa, but since Maurice wont play Dano, not much we can do really.

I think Yzerman should target Chia instead, he is more able to do something stupid......

No way. We are not throwing in additional young but soon to be considered core players to get rid of Callahan's contract with 2 years left.

For the millionth time - Trouba is not what we're looking for. If anyone it's Armia.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

If there is a deal brewing, I've got to think it's Dano leaving the Jets, and likely nothing bigger.

 

[Leonardo87]

Tampa could just retain like say 50% of Callahan's salary, since he is starting to have some trade value again. A cap hit of like 2.8 million for him would be good for any team if they want a better PK, and a shutdown bottom 6 forward who brings grit and leadership. Tampa does not need to attach the kitchen sink and all to move him. He would just have to waive his NMC, which turns into a 8 team trade list after that on July 1st.
