For Stone? Really!!?? What are you hearing that Vegas is offering?Think Vegas is in the lead anyway.

I think we all agree on that.Laine for a rental is not happening
This ^I get that. If you prefer to trade Laine for a king's ransom than trade Connor, I understand that. The worst idea is to trade either of them for Stone, because the Jets don't need to pay that much for him.
Step 1: Acquire Stone as rental (pay just a bit more than the next best offer).
Step 2: Extend Stone's contract (if he's willing to agree to a sign and trade then he'll extend after a rental deal).
Step 3: Trade Connor or Laine in the summer for a huge return.
See how much better that works?
You have no idea if he even wants to sign long term with the Jets. That's the big if. Maybe he wants to test UFA and go to the highest bidder. Maybe he wants to play in a warmer climate. That's the big if. Unless Chevy knows he can get Stone signed as a UFA, a signed Stone has big value.
Why is it a big "if"?
Why would Stone be more willing to sign long term with the Jets today than he would tomorrow or a week from now?
If you were to go through the history of deals involving a player resigning it's usually a draft pick involved. Conditional 2nd's become 1st...ect.
Unless salary retention is on the table, any deal has to include a Jets current roster player, albeit a minor one. Topping that list is Petan. If there is a deal I'd suggest the Jets 2019 1st & Petan are the two starting pieces. That last piece is all that is in question.
As for the add, I highly doubt any Jets' of the Jets top 9 are in play. Perhaps Lemieux or Appleton plays a role in the Stone trade, but that would be it.
The Athletic reported today that the likely targets Ottawa is considering include Jets top prospects Vesalainen or Samberg. Appleton, Niku & Gustaffson were also noted.
If Ottawa is truly scouting the Moose the only prospects of note include Niku, Poolman, Stanley & Comrie. I would doubt that last piece would be players like Spacek, Suess, Harkins or Lipon.
Jets also can't afford to be trade cheap defensive depth on entry level deals. Stanley, Poolman & Niku have far more worth to the Jets that most here would realize. Jets prospect depth on D may be the worst in the league & with the Trouba situation, the Myers UFA situation & the cap crunch.
So with that said, I can't image Chevy not at least inquiring about Chabot, but the return would have to be a major roster piece. Now we're into complete idle speculation, so I'll leave it at that.
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.
I agree. Some Jets fans are absolutely horrible at asset management and are easily fooled with recency bias. Trading a guy who scored 44 goals before he was 20 for a much older player with a career high of 26 goals. Yikes.It's the recency bias and emotions of fans. There's a larger quantity of evidence of Laine being a phenom goal scorer than not
Some fans seem to have gone to Chiarellis school of GMing - sell low & buy high
What were jets fans wanting to trade Laine for after his rookie year? Or after last year ? Or after Nov 2018? That's right they wouldn't
Was pretty clear that buff had tweaked his latest injury last game. I wouldn’t read into it too much.
Same here. The good news is any future Jets, playing now for the Sens, won't get hurt by Big Buff today.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)
Selling a declining asset when it still has some value has merit as well. The question is whether Laine is the next Ovechkin or Heatley. I'm sure Jets management has a much better pulse on this than any of us do. I trust Chevy to make the right decision.I agree.

Now that is a perfect recipe for closing your window of contention as quickly as possible.
KC and Ehlers are like two of the same players. You only need one.or trade KC and keep Stone/Laine
Unless you want to have a really good lineup. Then you keep both.KC and Ehlers are like two of the same players. You only need one.
We're not getting enough help from the Toronto media. Did you know AM scored 100 goals in 186 games?I agree.

jets haven't even given up on 24 year old 5 goal scorer petan and to think they would consider laine a declining asset as a 20 year old with 100 goals. and i'm saying this a fairly big critic of laine on the jets boards. he ain't going anywhere.Selling a declining asset when it still has some value has merit as well.

Exactly, Chevy isn't going to base his evaluation on a cold streak by Laine as you are. He knows Laine is much, much, much more valuable than that.Selling a declining asset when it still has some value has merit as well. The question is whether Laine is the next Ovechkin or Heatley.

What strange logic.KC and Ehlers are like two of the same players. You only need one.
Heatley was a fantastic player for a fairly decent length.Laine's floor is very concerning at this point as well. Is he the next Ovechkin or Heatley?
What I meant is if you have Stone Laine Ehlers Connor Wheeler as your wingers you can only afford so many wingers as top 6 so if you have to let one go for cap reasons then one of Ehlers or Connor would be my choice.What strange logic.
That makes more sense. I'm kind of at a point where it could be Laine just to maximize cap saved. I'm just not sure if Laine at 10+ million is more valuable than Connor at 7 or Ehlers at 6 any more.What I meant is if you have Stone Laine Ehlers Connor Wheeler as your wingers you can only afford so many wingers as top 6 so if you have to let one go for cap reasons then one of Ehlers or Connor would be my choice.
Yes, I'm also not sure if Laine should be the one to go. Flashes of good lately but good is not good enough if the puck stays out of the net.That makes more sense.

I mean, it's a slump and I have no doubt he'll come out of it, just price vs performance I'm starting to feel like you'll get more for less with Connor and Ehlers. Recency bias is probably playing a part in that mind you.Yes, I'm also not sure if Laine should be the one to go. Flashes of good lately but good is not good enough if the puck stays out of the net.
