Speculation: Rumour, Trade, and Free Agent Speculation 2018-19 - Part II

We can't afford Stone... even if he was available.

I find it interesting... If there was no salary cap there would be no Jets, yet now that we have the Jets, people want to sign every player available as if we had no salary cap.

I was pushing for Stone instead of Wheeler. Now that Wheeler is signed, I don't see how we make room for Stone, long-term.

Long term is probably Stone over Wheeler but short term it is definitely Wheeler.
If we traded Laine we could afford him and it would open up a roster spot.

I think Stone might end up costing 1 million more than Wheeler. I'm not sure why, but I have some gut feeling that Stone might not age that we'll, and would be a risk on an expensive 8 year contract. Maybe it's because his so-so skating, that might be an issue if he loses speed. Or maybe it's that he's been banged up quite a bit over the past couple of seasons and plays a taxing style.

Sticking with Wheeler, who's a leader and an elite player, and "very durable' is a hell of a lot smarter than aquiring Stone --in my opinion. Not even something I'd consider, if it meant choosing between the two. I'd take Wheeler all day long, but 4 years down the road --things may change.

I just use the Windows Snipping Tool and paste the image into the message - although when you do that they always show up as "Attachment ######" when quoted.

Not sure why you compared Wheeler 2017/18 to Stone 2016/17...

Anyway, here is the head-to-head for 2016-18 for both...

I guess the default had Karlsson 2017-18 on the left compared to himself the year before on the right and I didn't notice until you just mentioned it...

Only thing that would work is if we traded Ehlers for Stone and extended Stone

I mean, if we're looking at Skatr comparisons check Ehlers v Stone, I'll go with the guys 4 years younger on a cheap deal .

@Whileee do you use the same thing as gm0ney? How are ya posting those?

Nah, I just download and upload. Wish I was as tech savvy as GM.

It's easier than downloading/uploading...just click the Windows Start button and start typing "Snipping Tool" and it should appear under Best Match.

Set the Mode to "Rectangular Snip" then click New - the Snipping Tool vanishes and your cursor turns into a cross. Just drag a box around the area of the screen you want to snip. As soon as it appears in the Snipping Tool window, it's on the clipboard and can be pasted into an HF post, document, email, etc.

Not going to lie, the Snipping Tool saved my life.

Indeed!

OK, if that's not a lie I'll bet it is a really big exaggeration.

If not, then there is a very interesting story in there somewhere.

The snipping tool saved many a sex life at Dr. Jay's clinic, if the radio commercials are to be believed

Just don’t read Dr. Jay’s clippings

Any word on what happened with Nic Petan's father? Such a shame... by the sounds of things, the death was "sudden."

Make's this year even tougher for Nic Petan. Condolences for the family.

Maybe an exaggeration. But definitely my biggest discovery since Mount Guay Black Barrel rum.
