You would need to start with an equally young, equally skilled 1/ 2C or top pairing RHD to generate any interest from Winnipeg if you want Laine.

17 May 2020 13:38:24
Parayko, Schenn for Laine and Niku?? How is that not enough for Laine??? That’s a fat no from Blues

17 May 2020 15:51:26
I think Schenn and Parayko could get Tavarez and Sandin instead. It would be a much more realistic trade offer as Tavarez is getting old and too expensive, Sandin is small and unproven, plus and the Leafs are desperate for a big, skilled d-man and a solid two way center that knows how to play in his own end.

I think this illustrates how difficult it is to appease the jets fans on this site. Lol.

Paryanko is “not a top pairing D“ are you kidding me? He has the most ice time played on the blues for the past four years he is the best shut down guy in the league and is certainly worth more then Laine. Love him as a player but Paryanko being a rare 6.6 fast physical dman with a cannon of a shot is worth more then anything the jets individually have to offer even Schifele although I think they’re close in value. As a leafs fan I would not Hesitate to give Marner + for him. Blues would not be adding to a Paryanko for Laine swap if this were offered blues take that and throw a parade.

It's very convenient that everyone ignores the age difference. No one is going to trade an elite 22 year old winger for a 28 year old 2C heading for a horribly overpaid extension and a very good 27 year old defenseman that will want a huge raise in 2 years. Why would the Jets want to shorten their competitive years with a trade that makes them much older and more expensive?

No, Jet fan said anything at all about how good the Blues players were, it was just pointed out that they are too old to be considered in return for a 22 year old.

This just illustrates how incredibly difficult it is to have a realistic conversation on this site about what teams actually may do. Ignoring age and contract value is just outright lack of hockey knowledge and how the NHL actually works.

The jets would be better off trying to win now while they can afford to add a couple players and their young guys and older guys primes are overlapping. The cost of upgrading your two largest needs is probably worth it. Schenn and paryako are not exactly old and fit with the win now mentality. The jets are still strong on the wings if they make this trade. They are just considerably stronger at centre and Defense.

Firebergevin, that's not the strategy the Jets management is interested in or that well managed teams participate in. They won't throw away 10+ years of an elite young player who is still 3+ years away from his prime for two older players getting ready to exit their primes.

Then add in that Parayko will be 29 when his contract ends and will be looking for a huge raise going into his declining years. While Schenn will be starting a contract next year that overpays him from the ages of 29-36 where he will be in decline.

Good GM's and well managed teams don't make deals like that to shorten their competitive window. That's why I said you would need to start with a YOUNG, EQUALLY SKILLED 1/ 2C or YOUNG, EQUALLY SKILLED top pairing defenseman, or there is no incentive for the Jets to do it.

Both players offered miss out on the young qualifier.

17 May 2020 20:05:26
Lol at the fact that you believe the jets have a competitive window. Forwards are top end, Helly is a solid goalie and then their defence is absolutely putrid worse then the leafs. Poink and Morrisey are good number 3 guys playing on the top Pair the leafs are considered to have an awful defence but Rielly and Muzzin would both be the number 1 guy on the jets. Paryanko makes the jets much better.

17 May 2020 20:39:32
Yet somehow vbbb with the defensemen and injuries the Jets had this year, playing in a far tougher division than Toronto, Winnipeg's defense was vastly superior to Toronto's.

The Jets are competitive on a league wide basis, the Leafs aren't even competitive in their own easy division.

17 May 2020 21:21:09
If you notice its not Jet fans that make utterly foolish trade offers for Winnipeg players, so stop thinking dumb trade offers are doing the Jets a favor. This trade is better suited for the Leafs as they can trade a soft Reilly and tiny Marner for this Blues offer instead as the Leafs need to do something in order to open up cap space and shore up their pathetic defense.

17 May 2020 21:44:15
If the jets weren’t interested in mortgaging a part of the future to try and win now. They wouldn’t have given up first round picks in exchange for Paul statsny and Kevin Hayes. Rental players at the deadline, that they couldn’t resign. They get a chance to make a couple good runs with Schenn and parayko.

17 May 2020 21:59:09
What are you smoking you’re so delusional Tampa bay is the best team in the NHL on paper and off. they are a dynasty in the making and on top of that the Bruins are also a top 3 team. The leafs are also ahead of the jets in the standings so get your facts straight the leafs rank 12th in the NHL with a fired coach who held them back at the 1st of the year. The Jets rank 16th in the NHL. Not sure where you got your education from but it seems to be nonexistent.

18 May 2020 02:17:47
They were 3rd place behind 2 teams better then anyone in the jets division.

18 May 2020 03:02:38
Winnipeg's defense wasn't vastly superior to the Leafs. Jets goaltending was vastly superior to the Leafs though.

You can tell memarcusjoe doesn't know anything about hockey or he would know that the Jets goaltending was the only reason Winnipeg had a chance at making playoffs at all and he would know that Leafs goaltending was a big reason why they struggled this year. Leafs defensemen actually had better year individually than Jets defencemen did.

18 May 2020 18:41:59
How is Schenn not a 1/ 2 c, marcusjoe? And by the way, I would say the leafs d might even be better than the jets. It's just that the jets have the best goalie in the league, that d is not as much needed.

19 May 2020 02:45:56
1st of all, the atlantic division is the best in the nhl. 2nd, the jets had less injures than the leafs. 3rd, the jets might be in win now mode. They are a good team. If this trade was offered, jets do this hands down. Blues pass. If this was leaf comparable I would say the same. "Soft" Rielly and "tiny" Marner are better than any jets of their respective position.
