Grade the Trade Deadline

A, great day for Jets fans.
F to Vegas those smelly regurgitated dog poo cheats

 

[Channelcat]

Solid!

In one week we went from being broke to spending as much as possible

 

[GaryPoppins]

In a vacuum, A to A+.

Compared to Vegas and Colorado? B.

Both those team and Dallas will be absolute daggers to draw in round one. Gotta finish first in the division.

Chevy has given us a fighting chance, No guarantees but we have a team that has the potential to fight for the cup. After last season and the subsequent fallout out, that seems close to a miracle to me.

A. I will give him an A+ if the deadline comes with a directive to Bowness from top that Scheifele and Ehlers must always play together at 5 on 5. That is the biggest thing Chevy can now do to turbo charge this team and doesn't need to give up a single asset, just exercise his authority.

I take it you don't buy into the argument of of balancing out the top 2 lines to have possession drivers on both?

 

[raideralex99]

Seriously Chevy did not trade one prospect and upgraded 3 positions of need .... anyone who doesn't give Chevy an A is a hater or just plain dumb.

Great pickups at TD
We had too many bottom 6 players playing up the lineup
With Monohan and Tofolli. Mix and match then with Ehlers/KC /Schief / Villardi We have our top 6 that can score goals

 

[nhlpro]

A+

Even though they've lost more than they've wom in the past when schief and ehlers play together?

That's not at all the case but I don't want this to turn and derail this thread into another one about Ehlers/Top line (there are enough already) so I'll drop it.

So what are your thoughts then?

On the deadline? Good deadline for Chevy and the Jets. I was comfortable with the Jets standing pat but am also OK with the assets they gave up to get the pieces they did. Nothing to complain about these 2 players or the price paid to get them. Everything is in the hands of Bowness now to take advantage of the flexibility he has been given by the GM, have an open mind and not try to put square pegs in round holes due to preconceived notions.

Smart idea to give the Ehlers thing a break. I read the tea leaves the same way you do, but we need peace in the land tonight to enjoy this.

Looking in general at the Toffoli-charged top-6:
-he is a more of a pure goal scorer in the mold of Connor and not great defensively, so it makes no sense to have them both on the same line
-he has had chemistry with Monahan in the OHL, where he had 2-100+ point, 50+ goal seasons
-if he plays RW with Monahan, that puts Connor on LW with Scheif.
-if he plays RW with Scheif, while Valardi is out, Connor should not be LW

See how I haven't even mentioned the E-word yet! Bottom line is that there are lots of permutations and combinations now possible, so we need to look at all of them before playoffs start.

JetsFan 815, do not respond to this post or you will get yourself in trouble

A+. Good balance of getting better without throwing away the future.

Exactly. We can't know how the adds will work out until the games are played but on paper, they are exactly what we needed and the costs were not excessive.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Very good TDL, not sure what else he could have realistically done. Jets might of had the best TDL in the NHL or close to it

Col, Car, Vegas made bigger splashes, but value for the buck I think we might come out on top.

 

[Hobble]

I’d give it an A. A+ was reserved for Crosby.

Don't disagree but I think I will wait to see how the 2nd line performs over the next couple of weeks before endorsing that. Actually, see how both top 6 lines do. Connor - Scheifele looked good tonight.

As usual Chevy dithered, so he only gets an A!

I'll give Chevy an A.

With all the limitations that the Jets and Chevy deal with in moving players to the Peg in trades (vs locales like Colorado, FLA, Vegas, LA, etc), his past year (Wheeler, Schuffles, Helly, Monahan, Toffoli, and finally Miller) should be in the A to A+ range. He has done well enough for the vets on the team to take notice (Dillon's interview last night). This TDL itself gets an A.

I think he's become one of the better GMs in the league, certainly in the top 25%.

I give an A. We are ready now, time to execute.
