[Skidooboy]

Big Contracts coming up.
Weak Defensive depth
An abundance of young forwards

I smell a trade.

Who stays? Who goes?

I think Petan, Copp, Lemeiux, Are all trade bait...

I hope Copp is not moved. He is too useful at C. I can't see Petan and Lemieux returning much.

If Perrault could bring us back a good D I think he is expendable. After all, he is on the bottom line. I just doubt whether he would have a high enough return. There are few players that are not expendable if it brought back the right return. The only players I think are not expendable, Mo, Chef, Connor, Laine. Ehlers though better bring back a 1-3 D if moved.

 

[tgo0]

My list of guys I DON'T want moved to upgrade other positions would be:
Scheifele, Wheeler, Laine, Ehlers, Morrissey, Buff, Connor, Lowry.

I don't want to move Trouba either but understand that come this offseason that's a likely scenario.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Maybe you package Perrault with a 2nd rounder-ish and a prospect for decent return D man!

Off topic but Kolikov on the books is a real crappy deal and cap hit.

 

[Whileee]

I would put Lemieux at the top of the "trade list", but my guess is that Jets' management have Petan at the top of the list.

With Appleton showing well, Dano in the minors, KV in the KHL, the Jets certainly have a bunch of young depth for now and the future.

Helley is working on becoming an anchor

To answer the question tho I feel like Trouba will be gone.

 

[Robinson2187]

MattyP, Kulikov and Myers....the same group that has always been expendable once the cap crunch hit.

I mean that's about 13 mil right there. I trust Chevy to do whatever is needed.

 

[Huffer]

The pure "expendable" guys are Myers, Kulikov, and unfortunately Perreault. Myers hopefully walks in FA, Perreault will likely garner a pick, and Kulikov will likely be a pure dump.

The next level of "expendable" are guys like Petan and Lemieux. They don't have vital roles on the team, and have been getting passed by other players. They likely don't carry much trade value.

I don't really see anyone else I would call expendable. Everyone is tradeable for the right price, but there isn't anyone I would target to move.

Trouba is the key IMO. Personally, if he was to sign, a lot of things fall into place really well. It likely means the Jets aren't able to extend Myers which is a plus. It also means we have less need to trade a young forward for a D.

Even if Trouba doesn't sign, I think we can get good pieces for him. Enough pieces that we could use those pieces plus something smaller on our end to get a D. We're not moving Laine, and I can't see Connor getting dealt either. Ehlers deal isn't one I'd want to trade either.

Funny how it takes only 20 games to become an "anchor".

The Expendables, besides expiring contracts, are probably Perreault at the top of the list, and then Petan. Trouba might be leaving but I don't term him as expendible, he's certainly important. Not sure what kind of return we get on anything that's not a high level prospect, though.

Three untouchables on the Jets: Schief, Laine, Morrissey


crap forgot Connor, make it four!

 

[Vekke]

I would rank Scheifele, Connor, Morrissey, Wheeler or Laine untouchable.

 

[bustamente]

Connor, Scheifele, Morrissey, and Laine don't even bother asking about them in a trade. Everyone one is available for the right price, as for next year Myers comes off the books, Tanev (ufa) might want to big of a pay raise, Matty P is to expensive for what he brings nowadays, Petan can and has been replaced, and if Kulikov can't stay healthy, take your pick on who to let go to get the cap down.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

I think Little is untouchable too, unless we can replace him with a trade. Absolutely cannot afford to lose a 2C with this roster.

Oh that comment ought to make this thread more interesting. LOL. I agree with you at this point though I still think in time the Jets are looking to Roslovic to be the Little replacement at 2C. They're just taking their time like they have shown with a fair number of players in their modern incarnation.

Not surprisingly I'm very much enjoying Little's bounce back to form. If he can maintain for another year or two after this his contract is actually probably a bargain, given we'll have had at least 2-3 years of 2C play (yup, last year was 2C level, just not high level 2C), allowing Roslovic to grow into the role. You're certainly not getting a 2C for under $6 million any more. I do think Little will end up exposed in the next expansion draft though.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

Nothing useful to add, but I hope we get a GDT theme emerging from this discussion.

 

[voyageur]

I think Kulikov is the most expendable because he's a player we brought in, who hasn't made much of an impression in his time here.

Perreault is replaceable at a fraction of the salary he earns.

The players we have drafted and developed are the most untouchable.

If Trouba for his salary and his desire to play elsewhere as a free agent, can obtain 3 replacement players at less than the salary he is looking for, then I would include him.

Petan, Lemieux are bubble players, so I think they are expendable if their value fills a hole in the lineup.

I'd like to keep Copp until he is a UFA, he's Maurice's utility knife.

Petan won’t return anything, not even a low pick.
Lemieux and Perreault maybe low picks.
Just look at the Dano situation.

Kulikov is a cap dump.

 

[tntkid]

Scheifele, Ehlers, Connor, Morrissey, Wheeler , Laine ,
Tanev and Lowry are all on the keep list.

Everyone else can be moved for the right price.

 

[Lars65]

Everybody is moveable at the "right price".
That should go without saying.

 

[Psych0dad]

My keeper list is Laine, Scheifele, Morrissey and Connor. Everyone else is expendable. Best center, two best wingers and best defenseman...all young and not in their primes yet. That's the core to build on.

I'd agree with you here.

I can't see any scenario where Kulikov and Perreault are on this team next season.

Too bad the NHL has a hard cap and not like the NBA where you can go over the cap to sign your own players. It's not like the Jets are loading up on UFA's year after year. All of their big money players will be draft picks or guys who are nearing a decade in the organization.
