Oduya

[CaptainChef]

Actually it was Lodge,Lipon,Kostalek and Poolman for Oduya. The 2nd round pick in 2013 was traded to Washington for a 3rd,4th and 5th round pick in 2013.

Are you kidding. Those four guys for a 30 year old UFA defenseman who wasn't very good. Highway robbery IMO

Important player in a Stanley Cup win, played heavy minutes against some tough competition and on the PK. Seems like a win-win trade to me.

How did we start discussing Johnny'll do ya again all of a sudden?

20/20 hindsight?

I don't know, considering what we ended up with those picks, I'd do that trade again, and Chicago would, too.

I don't think Chevy is losing a second of sleep over that trade.

Ok, your right - Chicago got what they needed from that trade as well. But, from our perspective, those four prospects are a fantastic return.

 

[Bristo]

The assertion that the Jets lost in that trade is one dimensional and wrong.

 

[KCjetsfan]

I don't think it's a bad trade and I think we'll come out ahead. But to say we're clear winners at this point when he have 0 NHL games returned to us is a little... premature.

 

[Sweech]

Uh, Oduya was turning 31 and headed to UFA when Chevy traded him. A 2nd and a 3rd seems pretty good return.

Oduya did make some glaring turnovers occasionally, but his biggest problem was that an insanely high percentage of those turnovers ended up in the back of our net.

Hmmmmm...wonder how that happened?

Pavelec, making NHL coaches and defensemen look bad since '07.

 

[SCP Guy]

If we would have extended Jonny O for 3.5 mil per year everyone on this board would have been pissed...

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Happy Jets fans are happy with the prospects he brought in. A cup ring and a huge minute eating #4 defenseman for a second and third? Sign me up.

 

[theamazingchris]

It was a win-win afaic. Hawks got what they wanted, we got what we wanted. I do think he had an unfairly bad rep, but that water is so far under the bridge I have to lean uncomfortably far over to think about it.

I had to suffer through the Atlanta years and then the Jets years with Oduya. Haven't thought once about him after we traded him away.

Just out of curiosity, if you had to pick one or the other, who would you guys rather have back on the team.

Oduya
OR
The Stapler (Tim Stapleton)

I'd take Oduya back - LD depth is weak and he'd have kept Clitsome off the 2nd pairing earlier this season. OTOH, Stapler would've been pretty useful on the PP last year instead of Jokinen on the point for 20 games or whatever it was.

 

[wpgsilver]

I would take Oduya on this team in a heartbeat.
Oduya>Stuart
Oduya>Clitsome
Oduya> Pardy
Oduya>Ellerby

I would too.

I would love to take a lot of players.

Unfortunately doesn't always work out that way.

Oh well...

This is a classic win-win deal.

The rebuilding jets get a couple picks that have turned ino viable prospects.

The contending hawks (with a lot of prospect depth) get a solid 4/5 dman who logged solid minutes and they win the cup.

Don't think anyone on either side is upset, both sides do the deal again.
