What should Chevy do at the deadline? V2.0 New and improved! Pls read OP

[Hank Chinaski]

Guess those summer moves didn't really amount to anything.

Now I feel bad about feeling bad back then for complaining.

You are a bad person and should feel bad.

What can I say, they looked like good improvements on paper, at least in my view. They probably do amount to improvements, however small, since there were no real losses in the off-season.

Stapleton is better than Wellwood anyday, especially on the powerplay. Now I'm going to go eat some hay, lay down by the bay, I just may....

 

[SCP Guy]

Time to cut some fat. Problem is Hainsey and Antro are the easiest pieces to move, but it doesn't mean they're the best pieces to move.

Agree..... But they are the only must moves tomorrow

True dat.

 

[SCP Guy]

True dat. In breaking news I didnt know that the Pres of Iran participated on the Jets discussion boards...

We are the team of choice for tyrant dictators all around the world lol

 

[sipowicz]

Meech to St. Johns!

Antro and Burmi to anywhere!

Mittens, Wellwood, Jokinen to anywhere they want soft players!

 

[Edgar Halliwax]

Time to cut some fat. .

I see what what you did there

And it will happen before we fall asleep tomorrow night.

We're missing 2/3 of a second and third line. Next year we might see Scheifele slot into the #2/3 centre position but overall everyone else is more than expendable.

Another problem is we barely have any prospects pushing for a spot from the minors. This team seriously needs a good 2 or 3 years of just stocking the cupboard before we make any substantial push for the playoffs. Until then I can see why Chevy is picking the waiver wire clean. He doesn't want to give up picks and we can't afford to trade roster players for prospects unless we want a full-on rebuild.

 

[Guerzy]

Nailed it. Fully concur.

It's probably to some degree emotion and frustration with the loss, but honestly, this group looks no different than last year. Time to change things up.

Agree Brogo and Hank.

Looking at the big picture here, the grand scheme of things, and putting emotions aside, I think we've seen enough of this "group" for almost 2 seasons now. Mediocre is all they are.

I am all for changes to change the way of this team. New faces, new emotion, new culture, etc.

UFA's to be? Get rid of them all. Antropov, Miettinen, Wellwood, Thorburn, Hainsey, etc. Burmistrov too in a deal if a good one is out there for us. Wouldn't be suprised at all to see Chevy pushing Burmistrov hard to Buffalo. Burmistrov + Postma + 2nd for Pominville, or something of the sorts on the table.

Yupp. This exactly why I don't understand everyone saying 1. we are a contender 2. adding a rental piece at the deadline is what we need. I mean if you combine that depth chart with what we have in the system we can't afford be giving up picks and IMO letting UFAs leave for nothing

I imagine this poll would be a hell of a lot different after tonights loss, our 4th in a row. That's why GMs always wait right up until the deadline.

They just want more Jets...

Sure doesn't seem like it this year with the big pieces already moved (Iginla, Regehr, Bouwmeester)....

 

[allan5oh]

Of course, but where did those pieces go? Mostly to teams that are locks for the playoffs, or contenders even. Teams that are hovering around the line will wait until the last possible second.

 

[Bob E]

Will be interesting to see if any of the other names are moved tomorrow - like luongo - or if it will be very, very quiet.

May be a bunch of AHL'ers moving around.

 

[puck stoppa]

I think now that we lost four in a row, you may see Hainsey dealt for a 1st rounder.

 

[Gm0ney]

I just can't see anyone giving up a 1st to rent Hainsey...

 

[umwoz]

Hainsey nets a 2nd and a late pick at best. I'd imagine similar for Antro, maybe even less.

 

[JetsTrueNorth]

Carolina is banged up on the blue line. Faulk is still out and they lost Pitkanen for the season tonight.

Maybe a Hainsey for Jussi Jokinen (if Carolina eats some of his contract) would help both clubs???

 

[Holden Caulfield]

We are going to move further deadline talk here.
