[jetsforever]

He's back!
Ehlers-Stastny-Laine was good before, hopefully Paul hasn't declined too much and can save our second line

Isn't it a bit premature? I thought confirmed with link is reserved for official announcements?

 

[JJ McCubbin]

Nice! I'm expecting the Jets to have given something small up. Just hopefully not too much. Maybe Stastny + the 2021 4th back for a 2nd or 3rd? It would be a pleasant surprise if the Jets get the better of a pick exchange as well.

 

[AvsFanInMichigan]

Darn

 

[PaulPooley]

While it’s not as exciting as it was 2 years ago, the acquisition makes sense to me in terms of filling that 2c hole until Perfetti is ready. Let’s face it, it’s tough to get desirable players to come to Winnipeg, and Stastny is apparently willing, so...

 

[JetsUK]

Fine with this as a short-term fix, but hope we gain rather than lose in terms of salary retention, picks and add-ons. We deserve some Vega$ payback.

What @PaulPooley said - Cole Profetti stop-gap, we know he's a fit in the room. Glad for this move.

Now that we've helped Vegas make room for Pietrangelo, how funny would it be if we bounced in their and signed him too though?

Sweet

Thought Wiebe was reputable enough but sure, it's now a "rumour"

 

[Jetsfan79]

Stastny admittedly is on the decline. However, its not uncommon for a player to have a bit of a rejuvenation when traded. Also helps he is familiar with the team.

If the jets get 1 solid year out of him at 2c and 1 "ok" year after that, its a win for the Jets.

Would be nice but I don't think we have the cap. I think we probably sign Hamonic as well and I'm guessing more depth at defence. Wouldn't mind kicking the tires on Savard and Jost if the prices arent to steep.

It's fine either way with me. I just wasn't sure what the rules were

Garret pointed out on twitter that there may be some underlying numbers there with his on ice shooting % being a bit funky last year and he might get a rebound with some better scoring. Who better to do that with than Laine and Ehlers?

Statsny is on the last year of his current deal. So the Jets would have to re-sign him beyond that.

Eight years at what cap hit?

Yes. We get him for 1 year then he's a UFA... unless we extend him.

Unlikely we do that I think. This is just a stop-gap solution in hopes that Perfetti is ready by then...y

 

[SUX2BU]

Welcome back, Paul

At the very least, look at it again in next off season. If Perfetti isn't ready and you can re-sign Statsny on a cheap 1 year deal, and if he still plays decently.

I know, that's a lot of ifs...

Yeah it's definitely something the Jets may look at when the time comes. So much is still up in the air right now.

 

[Guerzy]

We're getting the band back together.

 

[Neuf]

Cautiously optimistic

 

[BatVader]

Just need Buff to come out of retirement for a final farewell tour with the Jets and its go time

 

[SCP Guy]

Better not be giving up more than a 4th for him

 

[ryerockarola]

Yes. We get him for 1 year then he's a UFA... unless we extend him.

Hope we get minimum 60 games out of him this season.
