TSN: Jets trying to trade Byfuglien before the deadline

[jetsv2]

The Kings should be all over this. A trade built like the Marleau to Carolina trade where another asset is included for the Kings taking him

Why would the Jets pay the kings to take him when they can terminate his contract for free as mentioned in the article. Read the story before posting

ok so Buff + a second for a future 7th?

the thread is titled the Jets are trying to trade him. I am free to speculate.
Maybe you should spend less time ordering people around and worry about your own life

Way to think it through bud

Why would the Jets do that. They don't need to trade away any assets,they can dump him for free if they want. You continue to prove that you are uninformed and didn't bother to read the article that this thread is about.

If a team just wants Byfuglien for next summer they could just way for the contract to be terminated. But Jets won't terminate until after the trade deadline, which is the deadline when your playoff roster is set (you can actually trade after the trade deadline, but then that player is not eligible for the playoffs).

If you trade for him now though its because you think he might be helpful for the playoffs.

I imagine it would go something like this: trade is a fifth and a conditional 2nd. If Buff doesn't pass a physical the entire trade is cancelled. If he does pass buyer sends over a 5th. If Buff actually plays more than, I dunno, 10 games for you a 2nd round pick is thrown in.

He apparently hasn't been skating so you're not getting him before mid-March on the ice, but he could be a factor in the playoffs for someone.

he's probably like 10 hundred pounds.

Wonder what the real story is. I did some digging and none of it makes sense.

Buff doesn't show up to training.
Then gets surgery on his ankle.
Out until Dec, so I'm assuming his ankle is fine now.
Now he has an NHLPA case to get paid.

Also, this is more like a FA trade, aka getting rights to pre-negotiate before FA hits.

Can't be worth more than a 4th rounder IMO.
Also considering who ends up paying if he's due back salary

Chicago will take him, what's the sweetener?

 

[BlueOil]

there is no package available for a player who isn't playing and is coming off a significant injury

you trade LTIR over the summer, not at the deadline

Depends what you want to give the Jets as a sweetener.

Umm, 7mil in cap space?

They'll just terminate in that case.

I don't think the Jets will get anything for him, since any team can sign him after his contract is terminated. May as well try up to the deadline though.

 

[OscarsCards]

I’m not sure what Winnipeg would do with Future Considerations, but it sounds like they really, really want them.

Future considerations includes booklets with written bright future anticipation propaganda for their big ego's.

They won't get anything for him, he's not ready to play, or even close, and he makes 7mil.

I agree. Might as well try until Monday. If not, then just terminate as was the plan all along. Just hoping some team wants him badly enough and is desperate for the guarantee. It's a .1% chance.

Getting rid of the contract via trade isn't the goal, necessarily. The article states this as such.

Change the 7th to a 14th rounder and it is a done deal! Don't @ me, I am free to speculate!

I love the comments from people, give a snide remark back after people say they should read the article, then double down on their original comment.

HF Boards at its finest.

 

[TS Quint]

Thanks for the crap on the wall Frank. But nothing here is sticking.

I believe he is suspended by the team, not on LTIR.

 

[Fainting Couch]

According to the article yes.

So much info in that article. So few reading it. So many commenting based on a headline and not the content.

 

[Fainting Couch]

Is reading not a skillset on this site?

Why have an educated take when an uneducated one is so much easier? Life is hard enough without all this extra reading and understanding.

 

[Yukon Joe]

There's no sweetener. Jets and Byfuglien have an agreement in principle to terminate the contract.

He's suspended by the team. He isn't earning salary, not using up cap space.

I misunderstood. Thought they wanted to get rid of his contract, never thought in a million years that they would think they could trade it. Confused me.

Exactly, the poster I replied to wanted the Jets to provide a sweetener in the deal as that poster didn't bother to read the article.

It is a confusing situation. How often do contracts get mutually terminated?

Not sure how much trade value the big guy has, but I guess we're going to see.
