Proposal: Jets-Oilers Draft Day Trade

[The Moose is Loose]

Take out Roslovic and Sekera

What a joke

 

[The Moose is Loose]

In real $s Myers is paid 3 million next year while Sekera hits his base of 5.5.
Myers > Sekera on ice right now also.
If the Jets need cap space Myers is UFA in 1 year (but I could see him signing @ a lower cap hit to stay) while Sekera carries that 5.5 for 3 more.

The Jet have a full pipeline of prospects which is why they could trade this year's 1st & Foley to rent Stastny. They've spent time & effort on Roslovic who is being eased into a pretty full lineup so the last thing they need is that draft pick just to start over.

So this offer is great for the Oilers but does absolutely nothing to help the Jets.

Lol real money doesn't matter, only caphit does (unless you're Ottawa). One of the dumbest things I've ever seen said in a trade forum.

Yuck. Not a chance. The Jets are giving up the two most valuable pieces by far.
Roslovic is playing now at the level you hope the 10th pick to get to in 2 or 3 years and Sekera was terrible this year.

Sekera also has a full NMC which would screw the Jets over if there is another expansion draft for Seattle

Jets have 0 reason to trade Myers unless for cap purposes in which we obviously cant take salary back. Roslovic is to valuable as an ELC as well

Don’t quote me on this but I’m fairly sure once it’s waived and the player is moved, the team acquiring him can choose to honour it or not.

An acquiring club may agree to continue to be bound by the no-Trade or no-move clause, which agreement shall be evidenced in writing to the Player, Central Registry and the NHLPA... (11.8)

So basically the player can refuse the initial trade if the acquiring team doesn't agree to honor the NMC going forward, which is what most players choose to do. At almost 32 Sekera probably values the security of the NMC quite a bit. Doubt he decides to waive it this late in the game

Thanks for finding that. So basically it’s entirely situational and doesn’t help us figure this situation out at all

I guess you missed the part about length of contract & the possibility of Myers re-signing for something closer to his $s than his cap hit.
It's always important to read the whole post for context rather than cherry pick a small part.

Lol, Myers isn't worth anything close to a 10th overall pick no matter what draft year.

Why not.....

He might be to the Oilers.....

 

[rockinghockey]

Why not.....

Ecause he is not worth a top 10pick
That is why

 

[LordNeverLose]

I like Roslovic a lot, but there isn't a chance he's worth a top 10 pick as some in here are suggesting.

 

[cg98]

Absolutely not.

 

[StatisticsAddict99]

I would rather keep Roslovic... Myers + Petan + mid(3rd-4th) round pick...

Yeah good call, some random 10th overall pick is def more valuable than the 20 year who was leading the AHL in scoring before he got called up

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Roslovic > 10th overall
Myers >> Sekera

lol wut

lol wut?
Im susprised you didn't spam my inbox this time.

Trade is unnecessary for the Oilers, and totally lopsided in favor of the jets.

10th overall >> Myers
Sekera >> Roslovic

If the Oilers management thinks like this, no wonder they're a lottery team every year.

Jets don't move anybody next season.

Only one i see if Stastny don't sign,Jets will need a play making Center left handed shot
