McKenzie: Jets likely pursuing Mark Stone

[GaryPoppins]

We're talking about the same guy right? Roslovic who has 7 goals and 16 points in 56 games, with 3 of those goals coming in one game?

Doesn't sound like a top 6 forward, and if he is, he's a bad one.

I mean, it'd be one thing if he was 18... but he's 22 and in his 3rd pro season.

Roslovic won't be the centerpiece of any trade, unless it's for another struggling prospect.

This. Take. Is. Wrong.

 

[Artanis]

Garrioch says Vegas is pushing extremely hard for Stone also and would like an extension done as well.

Garrioch is far from an insider, he's just attempting to raise the price for Dorion.

I love how Vegas cuts off their nose too spite their face.

He's usually bang on with Ottawa rumours, like him or not.

A first, a roster player (not Petan in the PB), and a prospect. So 1st, Appleby, and Stanley. Just for a rental. I'd do it. Jets made money on the Stastny deal last year. Three rounds is worth huge money.
And with the profit you can do things to improve the Jet player experience. First class travel on your own A380. They're going cheap.

Lol terrible offer. Every team would beat that offer.

More like driving up the price the Jets have to pay. For some reason he really likes screwing with Winnipeg.

 

[Gargyn]

Vesalainen, Niku and a 1st if it gets into a bidding war is what it might take. Going to be expensive. Stone is easily the crown jewel of this years available forwards. This whole Stanley and a late 1st is horrible. I don’t care if he’s a rental. He’s one of the best players in the league. And I hate Ottawa.

 

[Artanis]

he's really not.

Excellent. Then by all means stop asking for him in return for a rental. It's not happening.

Jets gonna get blocked by vegas for a deadline deal with the senators... AGAIN D:

I think they are still pissed about the expansion draft.

He's a PR mouthpiece for Melnyk.

The chance of the Jets giving up that much for a rental hover right at 0%, and I've bumped that up a few percentage points to be on the safe side.

 

[CupInSIX]

I think they are still pissed about the expansion draft.

Probably. But getting dunked on by SJ in the Hoffman trade didn't stop him from dealing with them.

I don't like this talk of the Senators looking at hulking young Dmen because VGK has a Dman almost as tall as Stanley...

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Odds on Stone being scratched for tomorrows game, or traded beforehand?

 

[SoupaTroupa]

I'm absolutely shocked that Vegas wants to go after a player that The Jets want.

For someone who hates Ottawa, you sure sound like a homer with your valuations. How many buyers do you think there are this season? Giving up Vesa or Niku would be stupid, nevermind both. Both project to be quality NHLers in the near future. Middle 6 winger, 2nd pair D and a 1st is the rental price for Stone? I'd rather take my chances with the roster we have. I don't think anybody would pay that price despite how good Stone is.

 

[Stephen]

Maybe Winnipeg needs should consider moving Laine for Stone and re-signing Stone for the Laine money.

Ottawa gets a high risk and high reward player for their troubles.

 

[Stephen]

Vegas is bonkers. That franchise will need a full on rebuild by year five of their expansion existence the way they're going.

Zero chance a package like that goes for Mark Stone. Jesus.

 

[Gurglesons]

This. Take. Is. Wrong.

I mean, it’s the take fans of 30 other teams would have on that player.

 

[wabagee]

The Vegas idiot tries to screw Chevy all the time and gets stuck with over payed garbage players. Statsny was good on the Jets but won’t do crap on a bad team like Vegas.

lol. the guy with 23 points in 29 games? I think he's doing fine. what do you mean by screw over? all I see is jet's fans offering garbage. why are you offended if a gm offers a better package for a player (equal to his value)? maybe you should tell your team to increase their offer.

 

[heilongjetsfan]

I agree I think it's Stanley and roslivic 1st round pick.

Do you mean Stanley + either Roslovic or a 1st rounder?

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

Vegas is a bunch of burglars:

- Stole Lawless
- Stole Thorburn
- Stole Brassard
- Stole SCF appearance
- Stole Stastny
- Stole Stone???
