Proposal: If Winnipeg gets off to a bad start - Connor to NJ

[Snowman]

I agree with this. Maybe reduce the quantity and up the quality a bit. Contract limit is a real thing and we've got a lot of middle-6/2nd pair/1b prospects in the pipeline. I dunno specifically who, but maybe pull a piece, upgrade another and take away the protection on the first?

As it is, I might consider it if I was really looking to blow up the roster. At this point, on paper I think our lineup is easily playoff caliber, but that was true last season too and it didn't work out. I'm currently operating on the premise that with a new voice and an offseason of self-reflection, we can do big things. I also don't think it would take much to change my mind, so maybe we'll talk again around turkey season.

I would think Chevy would opt for the less quantity more quality route as well. I would think he would say "Okay, you're asking for arguably our best player, so decide which of your 3 best young players you want to give up and add to him accordingly."

Chevy really has no reason or incentive to ask for or accept anything less.

I think we'd rather have 2-3 great assets rather than 4-5 good ones back for our 1 excellent one.

Mercer, Nemec, 1st
They can keep the rest.
We'll take back a contract or 2 to make the cap work.

Holtz alone may turn out to be good value. He is a sniper. RHS vs LHS KC. But he hasn't proven anything yet. Mercer was drafted 11 spots later but has hit the ground running and is a C instead of a W. With uncertainty connected to both Scheifele and PLD, Jets would need a top 6 C in the deal.

That said, the value in that package is good.

Thats an insane price, Nemec+Mercer+1st

Mercer+1st is already a lot, but Nemec is likely untouchable since hes the only upcoming RHD in the organization

Nobody beats this offer. It is a former top 10 pick, a former 1st rounder D, a future 1st, a 2nd, an asset you can flip at TDL. This is better than the Eichel deal.

Sorry, but at the moment, Connor is better than Eichel

Winnipeg would be extremely foolish to trade Kyle Connor, especially for that package. Chevy would be fired within a minute of announcing the trade. Really over valuing Severson here. He may fetch a 1st since Chiarot did, but that's about it.

Connor is a legitimate top line winger with term on his deal. 7.1M x 4 years for a PPG + player with potential to hit 50 goals next year, you're not getting him for that package, not even close. If Winnipeg is not in a playoff spot they will sell guys like Scheifele/Wheeler, not Kyle Connor, that's who they should build around.

Yes correct. There isn't a reasonable possibility the Jets come out ahead on a deal for Connor. You make him a cornerstone

 

[Hisch13r]

Way too much

 

[Classic Devil]

That is a lot of assets. That is an absurd amount of assets.

Definitely at that cost you can just keep Connor.

Rule of Thumb: Whenever a trade proposal with an asset exchange ratio of 1:6, or 1:5 or even 1:4 you know it’s a bad proposal. Quantity for quality trades to this degree don’t happen because the risk is too high for the team trading the quality asset. Severson is the only established played coming back to the Jets and his value is worlds away from Connors.

A serious offer probably involves Necas or Luke Hughes on top of Holtz and Severson

Connor is a Richard Trophy candidate and it’s going to hurt to trade for him

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Time to lock this puppy up

 

[Xirik]

Unless something has changed I believe Hockey is a team game. No one player is worth that many quality assets.
