Would Connor for Pulock (re-signed), Sanheim, Pesce, or Carlo+ make any sense?

Nothing wrong with Value. I forgot to add Conner to that list. But pulock is good

 

[RationalExpectations]

I still believe Petry makes a lot of sense if the cap space is there, quite sure MTL could even retain / take a cap dump.

You undervalue Connor massively in my opinion.

A lot of us Jets fans think the season is a write-off given our roster situation and injuries. We're lacking a (real) 2C and 3C and most of a blue-line, grit and size. No single trade can fix that. Next year is already looking better, but we are absolutely not in a position to be trading valuable young, long-term assets like Connor. Certainly not for a player that is of lower caliber, either.

We could trade Kulikov to a contender for whatever he's worth, maybe Brossoit and Perreault as well. But the forward roster of Scheifele/Laine/Ehlers/Wheeler/Connor/Little/Lowry/Copp probably isn't going anywhere. I'd love to dish Wheeler and Little, but there would be no takers.

I can see Lowry being of interest to the Leafs. But otherwise, the rest of the Jets roster are nothing to write home about.

Kulikov, Broissoit and Perrault have no value. Kulikov and Perrault's contracts would kill any deal with a contender.

I'd rather not use it on a guy who's a UFA after next season.

WPG is 4 points away from a playoff spot, I believe the proper additions to the right spots makes them a true contender. One RHD, one 2C (WPG could get both by trading futures) and you've a really good team. In my opinion, you want to contend as WPG rather than being in the awkward spot where you go the playoffs every two years and end up drafting between 12 and 25.

Not sure why you would like to dish Wheeler the guy still scores a decent amount of points and gives everything he has to give for the team.

 

[RationalExpectations]

Well that s the thing, most players available will be in this situation (or even more expensive). I believe two playoff runs is not so bad, it's not like a pure rental, gives you a second shot next year and should make you stronger next season.

 

[themelkman]

I really see them targeting Dillon as a rental and maybe even long term.

 

[BB88]

I still believe Petry makes a lot of sense if the cap space is there, quite sure MTL could even retain / take a cap dump.

Vats would make a lot more.

It's still a one year rental. You haven't checked the standings or watched the Jets in a couple of months if you think it would be TWO playoff runs. The Jets coach today said that rentals for this year don't make sense, so the thinking behind any move is long term. One year next year isn't that.

I'd rather use it in the summer to sign or trade for someone with a bit more term. I like Petry but not his contract status.

This season is over for the Jets.
At this point the Jets need to load up in the off season and get a new coaching staff.

Keep Connor, Schiefele, Ehlers , Laine, Pionk , Morrissey and Hellebuyck as our core.

Move out possibly Kulikov, Roslovic, Perreault or Wheeler.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Kulikov, Broissoit and Perrault have no value. Kulikov and Perrault's contracts would kill any deal with a contender.

Kulikov is UFA, he's the definition of a rental. He returns a late round pick from a contender who needs to solidify their bottom pairing. Lowry is one of the best 3Cs in the league and isn't going to be made available for peanuts (or at all).

WPG is 4 points away from a playoff spot, I believe the proper additions to the right spots makes them a true contender. One RHD, one 2C (WPG could get both by trading futures) and you've a really good team. In my opinion, you want to contend as WPG rather than being in the awkward spot where you go the playoffs every two years and end up drafting between 12 and 25.

Not sure why you would like to dish Wheeler the guy still scores a decent amount of points and gives everything he has to give for the team.

We're on a major slump, the team doesn't show up most nights and we aren't even 33% to make the playoffs as it stands. We would struggle to win 2 games against STL or COL in round 1 because we're so damn inconsistent. Worst PK in the league at home and Hellebuyck's goaltending carries the team most nights. We've paid dearly for C rentals the past 2 years, and it went HORRIBLY last year. We can't keep throwing around 1st rounders on rental 2Cs or we're even more screwed in the future, not to mention a top-pairing RHD, which is what we really need, usually isn't picked up at the trade deadline either. That 1st is a lottery pick that can be put to better use instead of pissing it away for 5 playoff games.

Wheeler is having an awful year, and we have doubts about his leadership qualities. He has the potential to be a 90-point winger but I think there's too much friction with the team to make it happen in Winnipeg anymore.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Jets should just take the 'L' for this year and spend that money on a top-4 UFA defenseman.

Also, fire Maurice.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Kulikov is UFA, he's the definition of a rental. He returns a late round pick from a contender who needs to solidify their bottom pairing. Lowry is one of the best 3Cs in the league and isn't going to be made available for peanuts (or at all).

I don't see any contender wasting cap-space on Kulikov unless the Jets are retaining half his cap. He's pretty awful even as a bottom pairing D.

Lowry would be a prime asset to a playoff team. Jet's should sell high if he's available at all.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

You can finally afford Kris Russell. You get a bonus of Puljujarvi for eating said cap. What a deal

 

[General Disarray]

Yeah give up on this season. Draft well this year and sign a top 4 D in the offseason.

No.

 

[Deebs]

Matt Dumba would help the Jets and is signed for the next 3 years. Not sure they'll trade him within the division though.

 

[Hunter368]

This season is done due to NHL leading man games missed/Buff surprise. Jets should sell off a few vets for picks and use the new cap space to take on some bad expiring contracts for picks. Time to restock the prospects/picks cupboards. Then rebuild the D this summer via trade/FA.

I'd remove Wheeler and add Copp (he of stone hands).
