GDT: Trade Deadline - This Time, it's Personnel

[Jetfaninflorida]

We are on pace for 88 points and that is with large chunks of exceptional goaltending from Helle. This team has huge personnel gaps that everyone is aware of. When ever has acquiring a 5/6 dman and a 4th line forward been a strategy of success for a bubble team? These players dont make us into anything different than what we already are. I hate to be in this situation given that we had a cup contending roster only 2 seasons ago, but we should be selling and restructuring/rebuilding.

Namestnikov seems like a better deal than Eakin

Eakin is a pure Center. Namestnikov is listed as LW

We have the top end talent on this team what we need is the depth. we have a bunch of ahl guys playing regular roles and it's making us have to overplay our stars. if you can get a 4th line that can play 10 mins and chip in more then once every 30 games that would help immensely, also getting a bottom pair that doesn't have bitetto/sbisa/beaulieu would also go a very very long way.

I would hate to see a rebuild as well given the potential it looked like we had just 2 years ago, but maybe that's the solution. Ottawa is a disaster of their own making, but given all the selling they have done going into next years draft, they have potentially 14 picks. The Jets have 4 picks.

The problem is , who do we sell?

A rumor I heard was the Jets wanted Manson but the cost the Ducks wanted was 2020 1st,2020 2nd,Samberg and Roslovic

Surely that can’t be what they asked for in return
Samberg will be better than him going forward. After his last two years Roslo and a first should get it done.

 

[kylbaz]

I'm fine if we don't make any moves, doesn't seem to be much out there and everyone is going to be over paying. A solid D or C would be great if Chevy could find a way though. Hopefully re-sign Demelo for cheap.

Boy that’s a steep price. Guess it doesn’t hurt to ask.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

That for 2 years of Manson? Hard pass.

And I have to ask where can I get what the Anaheim GM is smoking.

 

[puck stoppa]

They can trade him for gaudreau if they think he’s that good.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

I think the Jets believe that Samberg will be here as soon as Duluth is knocked out this year. I believe that he is NHL ready and he is exactly what we are missing

But go a very very long way to what/where?

Maybe it makes sense if our goal is to squeak into the playoffs for another drubbing and early exit.

I guess that's what we are shooting for now.

Does anyone ever get traded who isn't a "character guy with some grit?"

 

[GeorgeJETson]

Rarely. Because they're the talent you want to hang onto

 

[Neuf]

Anyone worried about getting Simmonds can relax. Buffalo bulks up

You normally rebuild when you don't have the top end talent or that top end talent is rapidly declining. I don't think the Jets are there, the core is 27 or under. They just need to improve the bottom end of the lineup. Not worth rebuilding right now.

 

[Gil Fisher]

I think we'd want to improve on at least one of Poolman or Niku. I think Poolman as #7 and a UFA add as #6 or 3-4-5 would be quite likely. I think Niku is 50/50 to be qualified and even if he is he might be heading home for a bit.

Is Logan Stanley waiver eligible next year?

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

He's remarkably inconsistent though for a veteran. He's been probably our second best D on the whole for the past month, but easily could be one of the worst in the next month.

I'm really scared that the circumstances of this season will result in the Jets re-signing Kulikov to another 2 or 3 year deal at a similar cap hit.

I don't think there is even the faintest possibility of that. 1x1 maybe.

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

That's a disgusting overpayment

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

This is the first time in years I have been home for the trade deadline. I forgot how boring it is. If I hear about another minor deal and second round draft picks I may pass out.

 

[AKAChip]

I’d be thrilled to be proven wrong but based on everything we’ve ever seen from the coach, I’d be absolutely floored if he inserts a guy straight out of college hockey into the regular lineup. I completely agree that he is exactly what this lineup needs.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Parise for Ladd? Woah
