Confirmed Trade: [WPG/OTT] Dylan DeMelo for 2020 3rd round pick

[Uncle Scrooge]

Add depth simple. Depth is key in a run and push for playoffs . Good move

Sure, i just don't think they make it with or without DeMelo.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

How did he go for only a 3rd? Good pickup for Winnipeg. They would be smart to sign him

 

[CamPopplestone]

I could actually see Winnipeg wanting to sign him.

Man, I'd have done this deal in a heartbeat, re-signed Demelo and let Hamonic walk instead of signing him to an extension that will be way worse than Demelo's would be

 

[Jets2point0]

We're probably not even making the playoffs, lol.

the “probably” part of your quote is exactly why those teams make trades..

 

[TSA0402]

I'd rather not have the 3rd round pick and sign Demelo to a reasonable extension.

Wouldn't be shocked if that is what Winnipeg does.

 

[tntkid]

At least we were not on his no trade list. lofl

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

Dorion what the **** are you doing

Oh if we only knew...poor Sens fans

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Odd trade for both sides.

Why is it an odd trade from Winnipegs point? They need a solid defensive d man if nothing more thn for depth. They traded a 3rd for what a lot of Sens fans seem to think was a poor choice for Ottawa. Seems pretty logical from a Jets perspective, no?

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Sens probably took less to move him to the West.

Why would the Sens care if he was in the east?

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Jets only 20% chance to make the playoffs, this could be a relatively strong 3rd rounder. Difference between that and say a STL or WSH 2nd is marginal.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Without a doubt.

He did pretty well at the deadline last year. And the Kalrsson trade, in hindsite, looks a lot better than it did when it was made.

I dont buy into the fact that he's a terrible gm at trading. Hes more of a mixed bag with some big hits and some big misses.

It’s Demelo not Tkachuk.

His hits have been luck based on circumstance. He tried to sign Karlsson... He fell into the deal. He constantly deals from a position of weakness. Twice he has traded for players that were immediately flipped for more than he got back. He has never won a deal from a value perspective up front. He burns assets and his initial deals put the organization in this scenario where they are a bottom 2 team three consecutive years. He is flat out horrid at his job.

 

[ovythegiraffe]

I'm not familiar with this player in the least, but looking at his numbers it's an oddly low price and prefect fit for winnipeg. Playing around 20 min per night and being +2 in ottawa while the team is -101 in that time sounds pretty good, right? Underlying numbers are good too, so I don't know why a team wouldn't want that type of a player in their team for the playoffs.

 

[Rants Mulliniks]

Disappointed. Exactly the kind of guy I'd like Toronto to acquire and great price.

 

[SensFan1010]

Now we wait for the old WPG 3rd + Pageau for a 1st

 

[topshelf15]

So more picks.....Whats next a 2nd for JGP???When we already have 3 of them...

Only 3? Let's see how many we have at the draft.

 

[topshelf15]

3 2nds,we really dont need anymore ...We need more 1st,s either this year or next

 

[guyzeur]

3 2nds,we really dont need anymore ...We need more 1st,s either this year or next

Rather have another mid 2nd this year than a late next year.

 

[topshelf15]

Rather have another mid 2nd this year than a late next year.

The problem with us is we have too many,and will start losing prospects due to lack of room...We need to break some eggs to get better nhl talent faster

 

[guyzeur]

We match those 2nds to add a first this year.

 

[topshelf15]

We match those 2nds to add a first this year.

Yeah ,hopefully...But it seems that everybody is looking at this draft ,and 1st,s seem to be very hard to come by...So I wouldnt be opposed to trying to get one for next season,just have to find the next team that will likely implode next season to get one from

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Rather have another mid 2nd this year than a late next year.

we should get more 2020 picks then move up intertemporally, move 2nds and 3rds in 20 for a first in 21.
