Rumor: Logan Stanley has asked for a trade

[Jetabre]

I remember watching the Jets board on the night of that draft.

The second we traded up, a few people said "This better not be to get Logan Stanley"

I was one of them.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Jets have given him more opportunity than hes deserved. Hopefully we move him for more than he's worth

 

[heilongjetsfan]

His allure is like when a dude thinks he can "fix" a chick who is crazy and hot

The thought of teaching a 6'7 defender with grit to actually play must be tantalizing

The potential upside is impossible to ignore, but it ain't ever gonna materialize

Now you're gonna teach him grit, too?

 

[Breakers]

I remember after the draft and the recap of the canadian teams on various media channels

one of the topics amongst insiders was various GM's thoughts and they said who was winnipeg trying to beat to punch when they traded up for him.

 

[Vancouver_2010]

as a canucks fan, i wouldn't have mind trading OEL for him

 

[Nucker101]

Sounds like a great age gap target for the Canucks.

Nils Hoglander or a 3rd round pick, take your pick, Chevy

 

[elitepete]

This guy sucks

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

You want Kovacevic back for him ?

 

[me2]

Dream pairing Stanley and Myers



for the opposition

The only thing better than a chaos giraffe is two chaos giraffes.

He's big but isn't very physical. When he does try to play physical it usually leads to him being out of position and making a mistake.

He doesn't skate well and he can't fight for shit. He has been given many chances to show something in the NHL and has failed each time.

If he somehow feels slighted by the Jets then maybe he needs to look in the mirror and realize he isn't good at his job.

 

[cheesymc]

He’s got to be better than Sustr right?

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

You want Kovacevic back for him ?

Sure, but we're holding out hope that some dipstick GM values him way more than we do, and pays us handsomely.

 

[TheDeuce]

This franchise seems determined to find the next Chara.

 

[cupcrazyman2]

Holl,Kerfoot & Zamboni Driver to Florida.
Stanley(Cup) to Toronto.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Sure, but we're holding out hope that some dipstick GM values him way more than we do, and pays us handsomely.

His size someone will pay for him easily.

By pay I mean a 3rd and maybe a prospect that sucks under contract

Sigh it feels weird to be defending Stanley as I've been a major critic of the pick since it was made.

People saying that "he's not physical" are wrong. He's not Pronger, Chara or Parayko but he's still reasonably physical.

Someone said "he's dumb" that's certainly not true either, in fact his first pass is one of the strengths of his game and that's usually a sign of a reasonable hockey IQ. His offensive zone decision making is pretty good as well, but he just doesn't have the skillset to be an offensive D-man.


His big issue has always been his agility, he's got decent strength line speed but he gets backed in on zone entries because he can't turn well and can struggle with quick forwards in his defensive zone coverage. This means he can struggle defensively, but he's actually improved quite a bit since he was drafted and is a fairly good penalty killer.

The big problem I have with him on Jets these days is that he fills the same role as Dylan Samberg and Brendon Dillon and both are better than he is in this role.

 

[Chet Manley]

Why wouldn't he wait until the off-season to request a trade? Better to have a playoffs with the Jets than golfing in Chicago.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Can't teach 6'7!

Damn, so you are saying even if I get my Masters in Height, I'll never learn how to be 6'7"?

 

[Boxertim]

I hear Montreal is just going to wait and get him for free as a UFA

Funny you mention Parayko as being physical, seeing as I went through most of these comments saying “oh I wish he actually used his size” and thought I had been transported back to the Blues board.

Exactly, like if he gets traded to a playoff team he probably won't be playing and if not he'll just have an early summer

 

[McSuper]

Oilers should be in on this giant..

Why? We have our own giant that can
actually defend

 

[Marner4Life]

DUBASSSS please talk Reilly in to moving to Winnipeg!

Can't teach 6'7!
