Confirmed with Link: CODY Eakin to the jets
- Thread starter gojetsgo
- Start date
Unless Vegas and the Jets have a deal in place to do something in the summer, Chevy was taken bad on this trade. Vegas was trying hard to dump his salary because first he has been brutal this year and second they need to make room to try and get Gustafsson from Chicago and get Cody Glass back up from the minors. They should have given the Jets the fourth pick and the Jets give a 5th in return for taking his contract.

Welcome home Cody!
**** Vegas!
I like Joe Dirt, his girlfriend is cute!
You're right! Welcome back to home, Cody!
It is what it is, and it happened. Bashing one of own makes no good.
He has at least some Playoffs grit that might be useful if Jets first manage to make it to POs.

In fairness, VGK's 3rd line has been the kiss of death since year 1. Subbing in on top two lines last year, Eakins did very well. I love the guy and hope the Jets prove a fit for him like Tatar was for the Habs.

I suspect that deal wasn't available.
Eakin would have been fairly coveted I think.

I think people keep forgetting the odds of a 3rd round draft pick even getting to play in the NHL. He provides depth that we didn't have before. Hopefully we can get Bourque and Shaw off the 4th line. I am hoping this trade lights a fire under his ass and he can regain his form but if he doesn't I am not sweating over losing a draft pick that likely won't turn into much.
I will have an issue if we decide to take Harkins off and leave Bourque in..........

I think what would happen is, this summer some poor GM would sign the worst free agent contract ever
Chevy has to ruin his last nice trade with a stupid trade just for the sake of making a trade. Not to mention we just helped Vegas. They now cleared cap space for another move. And they were fine giving us (a possible first round match up) Eakin. I could live with a 5th or 6th. But potentially a 3rd when people thought Vegas may have had to give up something for someone to take the salary. He works hard, good character guy but 4 goals. He rode a hot shooting percentage for his big season. He better not break up our third line. Stick him on the 4th line and he can stay there, and he can be a decent guy there when we are fully healthy. Seems like for a 3rd we could have got a better forward. Lets hope Maurice is not stupid enough to break up the 3rd line or to put Eakin in the top 6.

I didn't mind DeMelo for a 3rd, because he filled a need. I'm not sure what need Eakins fills.
Perhaps I'm wrong, and he'll be a good pickup. But right now, I feel like it's a waste.

This thread reminds me of the Pionk/Trouba thread..... hopefully there is just as much crow eating.

Don ‘t agree and we usually see eye to eye but I think Eakin easily upgrades out 3rd line, don’t think he is here to play on the 4th line!

On the Jets 3rd for sure, can fill in 2nd ,solid pk guy. Has physicality. He had 22 goals last year. Do any of our 4th line Cs have that many in a season? In their career?

MP is probably gone, Little is gone. Lowery not sure.W definitely need center depth. He fills that role perfectly. If he can get back to his level last year 22Gs, he's solid.

Once again i like what Chevy gave up , good deal for a very hard working player .
Not sure what Eakin will bring - but can't complain about the price.
I know there have been suggestions here from a few people for a couple of years that we should get him.

You mean next year? As far as I know he's not far from coming back. And Lowry should be not far behind.

our 4th line is lucky to get more than 1 shot on net a night don't see how this can be as bad as some people try to make it
