Confirmed with Link: Nate Schmidt to winnipeg for 2022 3RD

[tbone1968]

Im thinking Stas and Wheels will be working for the Jets long after their playing days are over. That kind of culture is a good thing. Very happy he re-signed

 

[Ossific]

It seems to be the Jets strategy is that if we can’t get a 1D like Hamilton then get more 2Ds

Honestly, I thought they would only go after one big D, so I wanted Hamilton.

But I totally am happy now, because Hamilton is about to get 8-10M with probably 5-7 years and NMC.

 

[EpicGingy]

What a wild 24 hours for us lol.

Hopefully finally having a decent D core again has a domino effect on team defence as a whole.

 

[Bristo]

H*ly f*ck!

 

[Winnipeg Jets]

Interesting turn of events to say the least. Suddenly the defense looks like a strength.

 

[Guardian17]

lmao @ us shitting on Nate Schmidt in the trade thread just a few hours ago.

WTF? I don't want him here because he blocked two trade attempts, one only a few days ago, before apparently relenting.

Whatever

Schmidt accepting a trade to Winnipeg

I was one of those mocking him for not choosing Winnipeg!

Way to go Stastny selling Winnipeg to Schmidt!

 

[Mathil8]

So now our weakness is at forward

 

[82Ninety42011]

Congrats to Jets your getting a good player that wasn't utilized properly in Vancouver. He has a lot of skill and will look great on your PP and top pairing moving the puck. Good luck to you guys and Schmidt.

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

Raise Stastnys Jersey in the rafters.

 

[Ossific]

I wonder if we end up trading away Pionk...

 

[KingBogo]

If your from Minnesota and can play in the top 4 we want you. The Minnesota posse gains a new member.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Don't underestimate what Winnipeg's world class Wi-Fi can do to a player with a NTC.

 

[Guerzy]

One big factor here is from all accounts Dillon and Schmidt seem to be loved by their teammates and really good room guys. They both seem like real stand up pros who I think are going to fit in really well here.

 

[tbone1968]

Glad we got him. We weren't going to get Hamilton, the prices are bananas. Load up on #2's like Mondo said and go for it.

 

[untouchable21]

Pretty funny that he waived after all of this haha.

His media interview will be interesting!

 

[Daximus]

Okay we have a pretty staked left side. Who moves to the right?

Schmidt can play right. Its looking like him and DeMelo will fight it out for the right to play with Morrissey.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Honestly I would look into if there are any takers for that Morrissey contract now. Nate can fill that hole on the top pairing. If anyone is willing to bite on Morrissey we should evaluate that with Dillon and Schmidt coming in. If Josh has another bad year he might be an unmovable contract. Move it while you can is what I say now that we have options on the left side.

What!

 

[objectiveposter]

i wonder if jets regret the dillon trade now? they were after schmidt but he woudnt waive...so maybe they settled for dillon? schmidt has a pretty hefty contract too... looks like the jets 4th line will be full of scrubs

 

[Jetsfan79]

Can we all agree now that it was a great decision to bring Paul back?

 

[Dache]

Or maybe now that jomo doesn’t have to carry so much he can return to his old form when his contract was seen as a steal?

 

[Adam da bomb]

Doubt he beats out Morissey or Pionk for a pp spot.

hell no, both pionk and jomo needed partners

No I think they like having good defenseman like when we took our only real run at a cup.

 

[objectiveposter]

heinola probably pissed right now.... probably looking to repost that bernie meme

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Guys, remember:

Tweets yesterday suggested that Schmidt vetoed a trade between Winnipeg and Vancouver for our two 2nd round picks, because he didn't want to play here.
With those two picks, Chevy went and got Dillon.
Then we convinced Schmidt to waive.
And the price for him dropped from two 2nds to a single 3rd.
Chevy deserves a raise.
