Liljegren + what? Seems reasonable depending on the +
Quite a bit. Don't even want to get specific. I don't think there is a deal to be made.

Another scary thought. Jets are such a deep team. Will they be the ones most hurt by the next expansion draft, like MN was this year?OP is seeing the light. But unfortunately for the Jets, next season is just the tip of the iceberg. In year two they are looking at the salary inflation of the salaries of Patrik Laine, Kyle Connor and Blake Wheeler and Tyler Myers, should he still be around. So you're looking at around another $20m of inflation in 2019/20.
Or he chooses to go to free agency ( like Carlson) to see how much he could make.I imagine it’s quite likely he could be traded and even more likely he re-signs with the team he is traded to.
The Jets are pretty close to the brink of facing a cap crunch next season. With extensions needed for Trouba, Morrissey, Hellebuyck, Lowry, Armia, Tanev, Comrie, Dano, Petan and Morrow. The last four are likely to get QO's. But the previous 6 are likely to put us right to the brink of the cap.
If the cap goes up to $80mil, which is between the projected 78-82 figures the NHL released. We are going to be pushing $79,784,150 by the time we lock those guys up.
Note: The above figures are with Enstrom, Matthias and Hendricks all being let go to FA.
So most Jets fans are in agreement that we need to move on from two of Myers, Perreault and Mason this off season at the very least just one. We also need to make a little bit of room on the roster and may move on from one of Petan and Dano as well.
So here is my offer to Toronto.
To Toronto
Tyler Myers
To Winnipeg
Toronto 2018 1st Round Pick
Andrew Nielsen or Connor Carrick
- Not sure how prized of a prospect Nielsen is but the Jets would likely need someone to give Poolman some competition on the backend for the 3RD spot and Nielsen could probably do that. Another fan suggested Carrick as a better deal for us.
As far as Perreault goes we'd like to keep him for a bit longer but realize he will be likely be a cap casualty in due time. Mason is another one that we would like to move this off season to open up cap. Not sure about our options there. Moving one of Dano or Petan is also an option to keep our PB from overcrowding.

There's shouldn't be.Yeah I've had some mixed emotions from leafs fans. Some love it, some hate it. Probably depends on how you feel about developing talent rather then trying to take a step forward sooner.
There is a good chance of someone offering more, but given our needs and the fact that this move would be done to preserve cap space, this might be the best package the Leafs could offer. We are quite short on prospective depth at D, and since we are already missing our 1st rounder, acquiring one would help.I don't see a world where Chevy accepts a 23rd OA pick and one of Carrick or Nielsen. Heck, I'd give you both players and the pick. It's still not enough.
Nielsen is a never will be if you ask me.
Our 1st only moves for trouba. No to Myers
Yup. Speaking only for myself, i have no issue dealing our 1st++ for a D upgrade, Myers wouldn't be a target though.I assume you mean as part of a larger deal?

I wasn't speaking specifically about Trouba, i can't see a reason why the Jets would deal him. My ideal target is still Tanev, i think he could be acquired for a 1st+2nd+ something small...keeps the roster intact, and Tanev's style is perfect next to Rielly....Hainsey can then shelter Gardiner's defensive mistakes, and Zaitsev can pair with Dermott.Those pluses would have to be big
I'd do it. Myers wouldn't be the main PMD here and with our need for RHD seems like a fair enough deal. Far prefer that to other teams peddling around their D-men.
Immobility or not, he's physical and provides some size to our back-end. And his skating isn't awful.
Couldn't we do something like 8x6.5 for Trouba, like Cam fowler?My guess,
Enstrom - walks
Trouba - 7.5M Longterm
Hellebuyk - 5.5M Longterm
Morrissey - 5.5M Longterm
Armia - 2.5M 2/3yrs
Petan - 1.0M 2yrs
should leave around 2.5M for 3 spares if cap goes up to 80M
