[SM]

Ah yes, a LHD. Just as we needed.

 

[bustamente]

Gawanke was never going to get into the Jets lineup and frankly isn't NHL material.

 

[macmaroon]

Ah yes, a LHD. Just as we needed.

Maybe it's one of those paperclip trades, you start out with a paperclip and end up with Connor Bedard...

 

[Gil Fisher]

have to figure some LHD are on their way out. (from Dillon, Stanley, and Heinola).

I must say, I'm having a hard time getting used to my new avatar. When I scroll and see it, my first thought is "who is this f***ing joker!"

 

[Daximus]

Guessing Gawanke wanted a shot somewhere else. So we just replaced him with an AHLer.

 

[surixon]

They bought a year of waiver eligibility here. A former second round pick with solid AHL numbers. No idea about him but makes sense in terms of control.

 

[Daximus]

Oh nevermind Gawanke just signed a 4 year deal with Adler Mannheim in May so we are just moving his rights for a player we can use with the Moose.

Yeah and Gawanke just signed a 4 year deal in the DEL in May so unlikely he's planning on returning to NA anytime soon.

Yep, though he may just have an NA out clause.

 

[macmaroon]

I guess now Leon can do what he always wanted to do, California surfing...

 

[Gil Fisher]

Almost certainly. No reason for SJS to make the deal otherwise.

Building a little Russian community on the Moose.

 

[Maukkis]

Come what may, this trade is a welcome one for both parties. The bridge was thoroughly burned to a crisp, so it's better for Gawanke to get a fresh start and for us to get a younger prospect for him.

Now, it's up to the organisation to not repeat the same mistake again with other prospects.

Aside from good asset management, it does give Chibrikov another Russian to buddy up with.

By the way, the avatar is pretty awesome!

 

[jetsforever]

Seems random and inconsequential

 

[SUX2BU]

Better start pushing that paperclip before training camp

 

[WolfHouse]

For a draft and develop team, we're not developing a lot of guys lately

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Gawanke was all o and no D.

We have 2 of those rhd already

Plus I've always liked the Russian players in Winnipeg. They like it here Also. Good to have a guy for chibrikov and maybe kuzmin to lean on

 

[Guardian17]

Considering Gawanke was never going to play for us again at least we got an asset for him.

For a draft and develop team, we're not developing a lot of guys lately

im glad im not the only one noticing this over the past couple years

since the highly regarded 2015 nhl draft it's been a bit dry. from 2016-2019 drafts (not sure if it's to early to include 2020-2022 drafts as some players are still developing etc.):

the Jets have 9 draft picks make the nhl for 930 nhl gp. this does include 156 gp from Laine w/ CBJ, and 77 gp of Kovacevic w/ MTL, and Nathan Smith's 14 gp w/ Arizona.

that 930gp number ranks 25/30 teams.
league average per team during this time frame: 1188 gp
(excluding Vegas/SEA as well).

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Dudes AHL stats are impressive


This move lhd ahl Russian suggests Ville and Chis could be on the big club and they are going to definitely be moving out some d

I don't think it is linked to plans with those guys. It was just an available AHL defenceman. People read way too much into this stuff.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Also brings a russian to ease Chibrikov in

I don't think the Jets drafting got worse. It's that their picks got worse when the team got better. It's a lot easier to graduate guys picked from 1-15 than guys picked from 15-30.

definitely agree with that. which is why i've usually erred on the side of caution on labeling them a top draft/develop team.

& if that's the argument, as you said their picks used to be way better and easier to graduate good players, you can't really conclude it the other way either.

from 2016-2019: Jets average 1st pick of the draft is 26.5 (t-21st in the NHL; 2018 weighs this down quite a bit)
from 2011-2015: Jets average 1st pick of the draft is 11 (6th)

like when folks talk about their 1st round it's usually fueled off the strength off picks of players when they were picking in non-PO years. but from pick 16 onward in the 1st it's been KC, Roslovic, Stanley, Heinola, Ves.....KC and a whole lotta meh, which is probably to be expected/right around average. And it's not like they've been lights-out in rounds beyond the 1st either.

i just think they're an average draft/develop team, where they need to be much better given not a marquee FA or trade destination.

and Zhilkin and Kuzmin (BEL)
