McKenzie: Jets likely pursuing Mark Stone

[Winnipeg Jets]

As a Jets fan I do this.

Thankfully you're not the Jets GM.

Thankfully you're not.

I honestly don't even know how to value laine anymore. Stone has been really good though.

Agreed but Chevy will know what his ask is. If Laine wants $10m and Stone is around $8-9m, you go with the sure thing at a lower price.

100%. I agree on that. I highly doubt laine asks for that and to be honest I can see laine doing a bridge deal because of this year.

Patrik Laine

for

Mark Stone (with extension)


Who says no.

(Not serious proposal, more curious)

Id decline as a jets fan Stone is superior now but Laine is only 20.the all around game will come (it takes time for players to develop) and Laine is a far more superior goal scorer already to Stone. It depends on the contracts too of course.

 

[AKAChip]

Myers is dead last in GAR among all Jets this year.

You’re in trouble now. You used stats to prove a point.

 

[DRW204]

100%. I agree on that. I highly doubt laine asks for that and to be honest I can see laine doing a bridge deal because of this year.

a bridge would be beneficial for both parties..... Laine asking for 10M while he's on pace for 50 pts is absurd even with his previous goal scoring dominance

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

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

Keep Stanley give us a 2nd

 

[ffh]

Save the assets Chevy we ain't going anywhere this year.

 

[Peggy]

Then maybe start offering fair deals and you won't be stuck at the kiddy table anymore.

.yeah placing 2nd and being a top team is the kiddy table

Smart gms dont lose assets. They gain assets
If another team wants to dig their pockets deep, let them.

 

[MardyBum]

People really need to start clarifying whether their deals are for rental Stone or signed Stone lol.

 

[rubikscube]

I'm convinced that if Stone is traded to Winnipeg it's with an extension is in place and the trade value will (obviously) reflect that

 

[antiqueslivers]

bums me out but it sounds like Niku is going to be put on display tonight, which may mean he is being offered up. (i don't really believe Buff is hurt)

If you watched the last Jets game, he did injury his leg in the 3rd(?) period, and considering he was just out for an extended amount of time with a lower body injury, it's very likely that they're keeping Buff out due to injury. But you believe what you want.

Was pretty clear that buff had tweaked his latest injury last game. I wouldn’t read into it too much.

 

[Snowman]

I am guessing you havent been following along. The agent is meeting with the teams at the same time. Its not for a rental. Its a sign and trade at this point.

Actually, if you had been following along you would have seen that being a sign and trade, doesn't raise his cost much at all. If Stone only will extend with Winnipeg, then the Jets just need too beat out the best rental offer, which won't include any players of the quality noted. So, unfortunately none of the 3 Jets players mentioned will be going to Ottawa.

Jets say "are you out of your mind"?

Sens say " please, please, please let this happen"!

Why would the jets do something so dumb. They could pay for stone as a rental then try and extend him till July 1st. If they can then they can trade laine for a boatload of players they never would have had. Doubt they trade laine regardless.

 

[Whileee]

As a Jets fan I do this.

That's crazy.

Once again, if Stone wants to sign long term with the Jets they can simply acquire him for the appropriate UFA rental price and then extend his contract. It would be idiotic to trade a 20 year old scoring phenom for a UFA rental. The "signed" version isn't really worth more than unsigned, because the Jets can extend his contract the day after they acquire him.

 

[DRW204]

remember when Boston traded a young Tyler Seguin and the package included a 27 year old perennial 70+ pt 2-way winger in his prime? who won that trade in the long run?

You don't get it.

The Jets could acquire Stone for the trade deadline UFA rental price, then extend his contract and trade Laine for a king's ransom in the offseason.

or trade KC and keep Stone/Laine

Exactly.
