Dreger: Winnipeg looking for defensive help

[Curufinwe]

On Insider Trading Dreger said the Jets GM "has been looking around the NHL for depth on his blueline, he believes that he may have to to inject a little bit more help there".

Jets are well out of the playoff race right now, so presumably they'd be looking for someone who wasn't just a rental.

Luca Sbsia fits the bill.

Davidson would be a really nice fit there, however I doubt the Jets have room to protect him so it makes little sense.

Jets aren't making the playoffs so the trade could happen in the offseason.

 

[Curufinwe]

So someone fairly cheap, but not a UFA, and not so good that they would have to worry about Vegas taking them.

I'm gonna guess they're looking for defensive help to stay in the hunt?

Isles will have to cut a contract or two for expansion purposes, CDH/Hickey/Hamonic could all be available.

Very, very interested in Davidson. What we truly need is a bottom pairing - we have four guys who can run the top 4, but after that... yeah. Davidson would be a nice fit. Who would you be interested in?

Nope. No cap dumps.

Interesting names, but I doubt we have the offensive help you would be looking for, if the guy coming back is as good as Hamonic or de Haan.

 

[Siludin]

Luca Sbsia fits the bill.

Say what you will about Sbisa; he's having a really solid year.

His only memetown-level bad play was in his first year in Vancouver.

Not sure A.Mac is a cap dump at 2.5 mil. He is a top 3 defenseman just ask Hakstol

Marincin for a draft pick

What do you think the cost would be for each of those players?

If he was cheap and we got to dump some money back... I wouldn't be opposed to it.

Marincin for a draft pick

Not sure if that helps at all.

I think straight up for Lowry is fair.

Also like Petan or Lemieux straight up.

How would this make any sense?

Unless it's a high profile forward going to the Islanders, wouldn't NYI just be exposing whoever they trade for?

 

[Maukkis]

I think I'd rather do Petan than Lowry at this point. Matthias-Lowry-Armia has been working like a charm lately, and I do not want that line to be broken up.

 

[Zippy316]

Jets really need to try to shore up the defense to make the playoffs IMO.

If they can make the playoffs this year and do some damage, they could potentially set themselves up to make a run next year if they make the right moves. Soon they're going to be giving out big deals to Ehlers/Laine and their forward group isn't going to be as deep as it is now.

 

[Gecklund]

Brendan Dillon would be available from the Sharks I think. Preferably a third line center or a pick/prospect coming back.

 

[TOGuy14]

Trouba for Hunwick.

Book it now.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

We're not making the playoffs this year, it's already too late and the GM was too slow to act. Whoever it is, has to be between Stuart/Melchiori and Enstrom, not cost a lot, and not be an expansion draft risk.

If the rumor is true, maybe management realized that Brian Strait isn't the solution...

 

[Evil Little]

I think straight up for Lowry is fair.

Also like Petan or Lemieux straight up.

I guess I could be convinced to part with Lemieux. I guess...

 

[seafoam]

Kulikov?

Also, de Haan or Hickey, but price obviously high on de haan.

No way Hakstol allows that move to happen. He loves AMac.

Is it really so surprising that a coach would say that a dman who he plays 20 minutes a night is used in a "top three or four role"? That means 2nd pairing.

He wasn't talking about a guy who plays in less than half the games and averages 11 and a half minutes like Mark Stuart, who still has another year left at $2.625m.
