I really hope the Jets pass on a 5’10 185lbs center. We already have some smaller forwards

Too funny, Winnipeg also has many bigger forwards. There's been many talented C's at Trochek's size, and he is talented.

Well then you’re just ignorant to analytics.
I love Connor too I think we can keep both.

Ehlers > Drouin
Trouba is worth more than two prospects and the Jets need roster players.
Analytics can only predict. If a guy can't put the puck in the net and all you can do is hope a guy eventually figures it out well don't know what tell you. We probably can keep them both. At least let's hope so for Ehlers sake as long as Mo is the coach and he gives one all the chances to succeed who do you really think is going to be traded 1st?
1pp + 1st line, pk, 6v5.

NO from Mtl... We are not trading Suzuki...
And Ehlers would not even score 20 with MTL.

Certainly elite in zone entries/exits, and has elite speed. But yeah not an elite player by any means.

5v5 goals for the Jets last year :
Scheif - 20
Connor - 18
Ehlers - 16
Ehlers played 20 less games and around 430 less minutes than Scheifele did, and nearly 300 less than Connor.
And he led the Jets in 5v5 G/60 (ignoring Lemieux's ridiculously unsustainable numbers) and led the Jets in 5v5 shots/60.
Are Montreal players so hilariously terrible they'd drag Ehlers down that much? Or were you just speaking on things you have no knowledge of?

Jules would put him in so many lines that the poor kid would not know his position! Heck... does he play LD? ugg

Maybe because Trouba doesn't want to stay in Winnipeg, By all accounts he wants to play in the States East Coast preferably.

Trouba isn't leaving Winnipeg for Montreal, And what part of Trouba not wanting to play in Canada isn't being understood?
CapSpace
Caufield is lit
Punk is gonna play wherever he's traded and he can suck it up.
Pesce is locking down the 2nd pair on a $4 million x 6 year deal. Doubt the Canes are looking to move him, I think the cost would be Connor.
More likely the Canes will look to move Faulk out for a lesser forward than Ehlers/Connor. Faulk makes $6 million real salary next year which is a problem for a budget team.

It would take more than that for them to part with Laine and Connor and Ehlers have very different value.
Nuge+ Klefbom+ 2020-1st for Laine and Lowry
or
8th pick and Bear for Ehlers as listed above
or
8th pick, Yamamoto and Bear for Connor
As I had noted it was unlikely the Jets would move any of those wingers, but they do have cap crunch coming, so the high draft pick with a top notch ELC might appeal. I will admit the Laine offer was a shot in the dark, but given Ehlers year and the need to sign Laine and Connor that offer is something the Jets would at least think about f they want to try and keep Trouba as well.
Bear is an interesting prospect, whether or not he is a complete enough player remains to be seen. However, although some consideration needs to judge on a curve b'c Oil I don't see with room to move/shuffle their existing D corps, thus helping keep Bear buried, the poster is correct that Bear is not forcing the issue, either.
No they wouldn't think about any of those offers at all. You don't move top end players to create cap space, you move 3rd and 4th liners. Thanks for the offer anyways though.
