Winnipeg Jets Rumours

25 Aug 2024 20:02:47
My two fav teams Habs and Jets.
Being from Winnipeg there are my home team. Even if I don't live there now.
I was hoping that they would have done more in the off season. But Winnipeg isn't that attractive city compared to other NHL cities and plus the taxes. Hard to find players to sign.
Now the only real trade commodity is Ehlers.
WPG
Ehlers
CAL
Andersson
2025 draft pick.
As of right now biggest move WPG made was to trade McGroarty
WPG
McGroarty
PIT
Yager.
I think WPG has a good team but idk about a good deep playoff team as it is. They still need improvements. But then so does every team.

Habs have been busy improving their team. Whether they make the playoffs or not they will be a little more exciting team to watch.
MTL
Laine
CLB
Harris
Trade I questioned. But it is a win trade for Habs for at least 2 yrs anyway.
Habs goaltenders are a question mark. For now. But Fowler is highly prospect. So the future should be better.
Anyway you look at it Habs should be a good, strong playoff team in a few years. They need another cup!
Can't wait for the season to get started !

26 Aug 2024 19:23:48
MUZZA: I can't wait to have hockey back too brother!

27 Aug 2024 16:10:06
Ehlers doesn’t fit with flames plans to old. Trade would be for youth.

24 Aug 2024 00:21:28
I can't believe MTL traded for Laine.
MTL
Harris
CLB
Laine
2026-2RD.

Thoughts on this trade.
I don't know if it's a good one for the Habs. Unless Laine can return to a 40 goal scorer.
Maybe St. Louis can work his magic on him.

Another note
For Winnipeg Jets.
Thoughts on WPG signing Klingberg to a PTO.
If healthy, he can help with the powerplay. Tall Right side defenceman. Done side is his defensive play and health.
Thoughts.

24 Aug 2024 04:21:29
Muzza, im really excited about adding Laine. I think this guy is a top 5 sniper in the league. Obviously he has had some personal issues, however, the fact that he actually went to deal with these issues shows me he is maturing. I have a lot of faith in Hughes and Gorton and they did a lot of research to see if this guy is ok.

Habs haven't had a really exciting goal scorer since Richer in the 80's! . Maybe it won't pan out, who knows. But as a fan who hasn't seen alot of offensive talent, im excited.

24 Aug 2024 14:03:17
Hey Sodahabs24
If Laine can return as player he was when healthy then I agree this is great for the Habs. Finally have a sniper. And they play him as such. But my concern is at a salary of 8m and his health, mental health at question. I know he had help with his mental health.
But I know there will always be a trigger. But there is hope. Hopefully this is exactly what he needs a new start on a team that believes in him
I agree with he might be or will be the best goal scorer Habs had in decades.
I’m also a Habs fan. So this could skyrocket their rebuild .

24 Aug 2024 17:10:46
There is deffenitley some risk with adding a player like Laine, but the reward is huge. So, let's just see what will come. It's only 2 years if it doesn't work, so the management didn't screw up the future if this experiment fails.
As a Habs fan since 79, I can't remember being so excited for a season to start. I'm not saying they are gonna contend, but they should battle for a playoff spot, playing meaningful games at end of season. It will just be fun to watch the kids all take one more step at becoming a really good team.

24 Aug 2024 18:57:53
I’m actually looking forward for this season as well.
If Liane stays healthy and Dach can stay healthy. I agree I think this team can finally make to the playoffs or at least come close and play, like playoff hockey trying to get into the playoffs. This would be great experience for the younger players. Give them a taste.
Goaltending is still a minor question. But think they’re good enough to help get the Habs to the playoffs. Beyond that. Who knows. Playoffs is a whole new season. Anything can happen.
I’m also looking forward to see the hab’s projected lines for this season.

24 Aug 2024 20:24:40
Yes goaltending is still a concern. I'm not sure who they will overtake to make the playoffs, as all the teams will be pretty strong still and others also are up an coming. But to watch the growth and possibly a push to make the playoffs, will be good. Lots has to obviously go right, like you said health will be key.

25 Aug 2024 10:54:30
MTL can’t lose on this trade. They have the cap space, and even if Laine doesn’t turn out to be a piece, they turned a glut on D into an open slot for another kid like Hutton.

If nothing else, Harris was a 3rd that they turned into 2nd.

Whether Laine becomes part of the teams future, or a rehabilitated trade chip like Monahan, the Habs have done a shrewd trade. Laine is likely on his last NHL chance too, so he has every motivation to be the best he can me.

23 Aug 2024 01:35:22
So Chevy made a surprise deal. Thought he would wait TDL. But surprise!
Don't know much about Yager except he is a center who put up 95 points last year for Moose Jaw as 19 yr old.

WPG
McGroarty
PITT
Yager

Thoughts ?

23 Aug 2024 03:48:02
I like it. Chevy made a good deal in a tough spot.

23 Aug 2024 18:08:17
I think Winninpeg did pretty good . Yager needs a little size, but he is a very dynamic player. He's a Prairie boy I believe, so he shouldn't have any issues playing in Manitoba.

23 Aug 2024 19:42:42
It was a good trade for both teams. Unlike McG Yager is too small and light to be NHL ready this season. However he seems to have a scoring touch that the Jets desperately need.

24 Aug 2024 20:26:44
@islandjet you realize a guy named Cole Perfetti plays on your team?

16 Aug 2024 14:33:53
Calgary: McGroraty

Winnipeg: Kadri (CGY retains 40%)

16 Aug 2024 15:30:34
No chance at all that Calgary retains that much for that long or that Winnipeg considers a 34YO as the main part of a McGroarty deal.

We should probably just hold off on McGroarty deals until at least the TDL. Chevy has no reason to entertain bad deals at this point.

17 Aug 2024 19:03:31
Blues got broberg for a second pick. Nice.

20 Aug 2024 18:25:44
Flames laugh and Winnipeg would take this and run.

20 Aug 2024 19:11:17
VB……. we agree. Rare. Lol.

04 Aug 2024 16:58:18
Read that Calgary Flames might be interested in trading Andersson. If so WPG should be checking out what it would take to get him.
WPG
McGroarty
?
CAL
Andersson
Pospisil
Type trade.
Andersson gives top 4RD and pair him with either Morrissey or Samberg.
Pospisil gives immediate sand paper player who can play center. Not sure if he could be a 2C. ? This is only a conversation piece trade.
But if I'm WPG I would be making a call kick the tires and see.

04 Aug 2024 18:24:36
If Winnipeg wants Anderson it would be McGroarty plus. Not the flames adding.

04 Aug 2024 21:07:13
This seems like a good potential fit between the two teams, with some fine-tuning to bring it together. Interesting Muzza?.

04 Aug 2024 23:22:41
Thanks Chickenfoot!
Might be a good trade as long as WPG doesn’t have to add Perfetti.
But I think McGroarty and Andersson are nice starting pieces. Obviously both teams probably add something to make it work for both teams.
Andersson basically at his prime age so good fit for WPG who still wants to win.

05 Aug 2024 03:46:36
I agree 100% Muzza?.

05 Aug 2024 06:57:24
Agreed with the above. Andersson is the type of player Winnipeg should be looking for.

02 Aug 2024 21:53:33
Hey guys.
I saw this potential trade but I think it was rejected. Sources do not fully know the reason why. Speculation is McGroarty's demands.
But the trade was
WPG
McGroarty
WASHINGTON
McMichael.

Like to know you thoughts and opinions on this. There was any others discussed as far a I know. One for one. Personally maybe WPG has to add something more. McMichael has some NHL experience and Center.
My opinion is you're trading an unknown value player for a needed positional player with little NHL experience. This trade gives WPG a 2C.
But IDK.
Want your thoughts.

02 Aug 2024 22:12:22
It would be okay as long as Winnipeg isn't adding. The Jets would take a hit on ceiling, but would have an NHL ready player. I just don't know what they'd do with McMichael.

He isn't a 2C now and hasn't shown much evidence of having the offensive chops to get there, so I think he tops out as a 3C, which isn't a need.

I can see why it didn't work out.

03 Aug 2024 00:21:00
McMichael is a Center but Washington is more likely be moving him to wing. I checked his stats. Not bad but not great. If he could be a 2C then maybe this trade would make since but if not then the trade doesn’t work. Jets don’t need wingers
I don’t know about McGroarty’s value but a trade must be one quality needed commodity.
Lots of rumours, but lots of them do not make sense for Jets. WPG has 2 major needs 2C and top 4RD. But not much money left. Especially after signing Perfetti when they do.
Lots of trade rumours about Habs getting Laine. Idk why Habs would make that trade.

03 Aug 2024 11:44:53
McMicheal has top 6/ 2nd line center potential but his development has been sheltered because of the depth Washington has had with Backstrom/ Kuznetsov/ and Strome.

With the first 2 now gone and Dubois coming this season, McMichael is still looking at probably playing 3rd line C or moving up and down the lineup. I think with Winnipeg he would have had an actual opportunity at more minutes and a role that he's better suited for as a 2nd line C.

McGroarty has the higher trade value but hasn't had a chance to establish his potential yet, I think thus trade was proposed because it would have given both players a chance to get what they're looking for in more NHL ice time. But instead Washington opted to extend McMichael and see what happens with this seasons new roster.

03 Aug 2024 17:43:24
I like McMichael for the Jets in a trade but I believe that McGroarty will become a Tkachuk type of player.
In fairness to McG he has a good point as the Jets have not had a good record of dealing with their young players.
Scheifele playing on the 3rd line until an injury to Little, Morrissey was to be sent down until Buff demanded that he play with him,
Connor who was sent down yet again until an injury forced the Jets to recall him 3 days later,
Heinola who has never been given a fair chance despite looking very good when in the lineup until his injury last season
19 goal Perfetti who was in the press box watching the Jets struggle to score goals.
I hope that the Jets sign and play McG but will Arneil give him a fair chance to play through rookie mistakes?

30 Jul 2024 15:45:47
Habs- baron-mesar-florida 1st pick 2025

Wpg- mcgroaty


Mcgroaty could play in mtl top 9

Baron joining is bro, mesar And 1st Florida pick worth each a late first

30 Jul 2024 16:20:06
The first is nice, but the rest does nothing for Winnipeg. You'll need to pay Chevy's asking price or check again at the TDL.

31 Jul 2024 00:47:33
That is an overpay. One first round for three first rounders. I say again unproven me me.

31 Jul 2024 01:38:02
@memarcus

That's essentially 3 1st round picks for a guy who doesn't want to stay in the peg

I get, that chevy isn't giving him away, but this is a good package. I big young RHD, a young winger with potential, and a 1st.

31 Jul 2024 02:00:09
MEMARCUS: any word on what Chevy's price is? I haven't heard anything about it yet, and I'd heard that they're trying to work it out with the kid?

31 Jul 2024 03:34:14
Chickenfoot, there are no actual leaks from the Jets, but the insiders think he is asking for a young roster player or prospect that is NHL ready.

It makes sense as an ask, but that's about the only info out there.

31 Jul 2024 03:47:12
Hurdemz, just because a player
was drafted in the first round, doesn't mean they hold that value their entire career.

So, no that isn't close to 3 first round picks in value. The same reason Montreal fans want to get rid of them is the same reason other teams don't want them. They all realize the potential just really isn't there anymore.

Mesar, is okay, nothing impressive, maybe ends up as a small bottom six energy guy or something. Maybe worth a 3rd? But he fills no need for Winnipeg and is probably a couple years away. Almost no value to Winnipeg.

Barron, his new contract says it all. He's being paid for being exactly what he is, a low end 6/ 7 that couldn't consistently crack a horrible Montreal defense. Comparable players can be picked up off waivers or as an FA for even less money and Winnipeg doesn't need bottom pairing defensemen. He has zero value to Winnipeg.

31 Jul 2024 16:52:57
MEMARCUS: good info, and I think that price is fair if the kid comes as advertised. No matter what happens Chevy will do something smart because that’s what he does.

Good rebuttal email as well. You are consistently a good read on here. ?.

31 Jul 2024 17:19:24
McGroaty is likely a tough eval for anyone looking to acquire him. Do you take his demands for playing time as entitlement and unwillingness to work for it or do you look at it as he knows how good he is and is showing his confidence. It's a fine line.

Chevy will hold onto him until the deadline and will likely be in talks with his agent and him leading up to it to figure out if the Jets are a fit. And if not then he'll be used to go after a big fish, assuming the Jets are in a playoff spot or in the hint for one. And if not wait till the draft.

31 Jul 2024 17:24:40
I won't pretend to say I know much about the kid from the Jets. I do agree on most points with Memarcus. I'm just not sold on a kid that expects a roster spot, obviously I don't know the whole story. I'd have to fully understand what the situation is. Hard to tell if this would be an over or under payment.

31 Jul 2024 18:29:53
That's the whole thing with a McGroarty evaluation. None of us know and likely will never know what the actual situation is.

I can see why some teams may not be interested and why others would say "damn the torpedoes" let's go after him.

31 Jul 2024 22:45:59
Mcgroaty is a top 6 forward, not a star.

27 Jul 2024 04:16:20
Montreal trades with Columbus
Mtl sends :
Anderson,Harris, mesar,
Columbus sends:
Laine , Kent Johnson

If Winnipeg wants to go big for playoffs near deadline
Montreal trades with Winnipeg
Montreal sends :
Dvorak, Savard , sean farrel
Jets sends:
Rutger McGroarty
Jets only add to current roster without subtracting
And Montreal roster in 2025 would look like this
1st line
Demidov Suzuki caufield
2nd line (monsters , all 6foot4 or bigger)
Slavkosky dach laine
3rdline
McGroarty Johnson Newhook
4th line
Gallagher evans roy

27 Jul 2024 04:26:53
None of those pieces are worth moving McGroarty for.

27 Jul 2024 11:27:29
Don Waddell read your proposal and puked.

27 Jul 2024 22:56:19
As a Habs fan, id love all of these! However, both Jets and Jackets GM decline easily.

28 Jul 2024 01:35:26
Have to agree.
Both these trades work great for Habs. But I think both Waddell and Chevy hang up the phone.

28 Jul 2024 03:32:47
CLB & WPG hang up and block MTL’s number.

25 Jul 2024 23:07:11
Conversation Trade
WPG
Perfetti
McGroarty
BUF
Cozens

I know there is no way Buffalo does this trade. But it would be good for WPG.

26 Jul 2024 01:29:55
It would be nice, but there's no reason for Buffalo to do that.

26 Jul 2024 18:46:50
If samuelsson is relegated to the bottom pair which is probably unlikely maybe something around Samuelsson and these 2 would make sense from a Winnipeg POV. He is a LHD but played on the right side for most of his career. If you don’t know him he’s very, very similar to Adam Larsson and would look good on the top pair with Morrisey. Passed for over 200 hits and BLKs last year and his advanced statistics put him in top 10 percentile in his own zone and top 5 percentile on the PK.

Ostlund (Projects as a 2C 16th overall in 2022 coming off a solid season in SHL) and Samuelson for Perfetti and McGority.

26 Jul 2024 20:58:13
Sorry Vbbb, there's nothing there that gets Chevy to consider it.

Perfetti isn't available.

Winnipeg has no need for another LHD. They need top 4 RHD, no other need on defense.

Best off waiting until the TDL.

27 Jul 2024 00:35:16
I have to agree with memarcusjoe on this.
This trade I just threw out there for conversation piece. I honestly do not think Perfetti will be traded. He will sign a deal. Only question is for how much and how long.
Ehlers will resign soon as well.
Also I don’t see McGroarty gets traded before TDL.
Bad thing is Jets options at 2C are
Lambert
Perfetti
Vilardi.
The defense is strong.
Morrissey Demelo
Samberg Pionk
Stanley Miller/ Heinola
There are needs. But really can’t see Chevy doing anything as of now.

27 Jul 2024 03:55:47
As i mentioned for his whole Career in Buffalo Samuelsson has played beside Dahlin and a little bit beside Power. Strictly on the right side. While he is left handed similar to TJ Brodie on Toronto he plays strictly on the right side (not sure where he played in his amateur career he could’ve played on the left side but so far in the NHL he has only played on right side. )

Being a physical shut down dman he is a natural partner for Morrisey imo. I believe if he becomes available Chevy would be all over him with the attention of pairing him with Morrisey.

27 Jul 2024 14:34:47
Sorry about my above post of saying WPG defense is strong. It was suppose to say “ It’s is not strong “.

I have watched Samuelsson a little, he is good defensively and physical. Something they need since Dillon moved on. But idk at the price of McGroarty.
I see Samuelsson a good addition but probably not what WPG is looking for.
I like your trade package vbbbvvbb but I think BUF adds a pick as well Ostlund. Also I don’t see WPG really doing anything til TDL.

27 Jul 2024 16:46:07
I agree muzza. Samuelsson is an okay bottom pairing guy, but as an LHD does nothing fue Winnipeg.

28 Jul 2024 01:23:43
Samuelsson is not a bottom pairing guy. He is a legitimate top 4 dman who logs big minutes in Buffalo. I’d say he’s on par with Chris Tanev or Esa Lindell.

21 Jul 2024 16:06:29
Read an article about possible trade scenarios of McGoarty.
One was
WPG
McGoarty
PHI
Farabee
Laughton.

This trade in my opinion doesn't really do much for WPG. With Farabee then it really forces an Ehlers trade. Laughton is not a great 2C. But I guess on a defensive team would work.

Second was
WPG
McGoarty
NYI
Romanov
Holmstrom.

This trade gives top 4D but left handed.
But he can be put on the Right side. He is better than Pionk. Holmstrom IDK anything about him except that he is a winger.

Third was
WPG
McGoarty
CLB
Kent Johnson

Johnson has offensive side and can play all three forward positions. Then possibly trade for a top 4D.


Other teams were BOS, MINN, CAR,
Personally I like to see guy go play for Tortilla! Give him a wake up call!

21 Jul 2024 17:20:42
Lol these are awful for every team not named Winnipeg.

21 Jul 2024 18:48:40
Yeah those are pretty bad scenarios done by beat writers that don't know anything about Winnipeg's needs.

CLB likely isn't trading Johnson.

The other two are for players that do nothing for Winnipeg.

It's not very often that a team targets players they don't need in trades.

21 Jul 2024 21:56:56
That’s what I thought after reading. These ppl writing about WPG McGoarty trade scenarios have not paid attention to WPG needs. 2C & top4 potential Right handed D.
I also Read about WPG and CAL including Kadri and prospects. Which makes absolutely no sense. Yes it gives WPG a 2C. But aged!
Another one was a trade involving Marner. Which I still think is a joke.
Personally I don’t see McGoarty trades to either at trade deadline or after the next season.
And Ehlers has rumours of staying in WPG.

21 Jul 2024 23:32:30
Totally agree. The earliest McGroarty moves now is the TDL unless someone blows Chevy away before then. Beat writers don't put a lot of thought into stuff. They just go, "well this team wants to trade this guy and that team wants to trade that guy, let's trade 'em for each other! " No thought of cap space or team needs at all.

Ehlers most likely stays a Jet. Scheifele and Helly didn't sign until late in the off season last year either.

13 Jul 2024 22:53:20
Columbus trades
Charlie Elick
3rd round pick

Winnipeg trades
Rutger McGroarty

14 Jul 2024 00:18:37
Unlikely, but maybe if the Jets really like Elick. The Jets are looking for an NHL player or NHL ready prospect. They won't want to be going backwards developmental wise.

Most likely you'll need to check back at the TDL at the earliest. Chevy has set his price and is under no pressure to rush to make a trade.

13 Jul 2024 16:52:04
Just read an article about a trade between PHI and WPG.
WPG
McGoarty
PHI
Konecny
Laughton
2025-2RD

Great trade for WPG for now. Providing they could resign Konecny.
But both player are later 20s.
But Konecny and Scheifele and think would look really good together.
But honestly I can't see this trade happening.

13 Jul 2024 19:47:17
Yeah, I definitely can't see that happening. The players are too old, have too little term left and Konecny isn't extending in Winnipeg.

It's not anything Winnipeg would be looking for in exchange for McGroarty, imo.

13 Jul 2024 22:38:53
Is this guy, not even a top 10 pick, worth that?

14 Jul 2024 05:05:22
Personally I think this is way too much for McGoarty.
So far all I’ve read so far is that really only few teams interested in McGoarty because of his demand of having a NHL roster spot. Montreal, Carolina, and I guess Philadelphia.

14 Jul 2024 17:11:38
Id like to think Chevy would take this deal. Makes the Jets better and deeper going into next season. Only have so many good years left in Helly so the time for being all in for a cup is now for the Jets.

14 Jul 2024 21:40:34
I would think Flyers add Sanheim and a top prospect, because Rutger is a superstar.

15 Jul 2024 01:53:36
superstar? seems more attitude. maybe should be in Toronto.

16 Jul 2024 11:47:38
I wasn't serious.

21 Jul 2024 06:06:49
Whoever wrote this article is a pinball Winnipeg fan. that's like a trade for a allstar, not a fairly upside prospect.

09 Jul 2024 01:56:50
Wpg Trade Ehlers ans Mcgroarty

Mtl Trade Dvorak 1 st Pick protect top 3 and Mailloux or Hutson.

09 Jul 2024 02:24:17
The Jets aren't taking back a cap dump in an Ehlers or McGroarty trade.

True North wouldn't be interested in Mailloux due to his character issues.

I can't see Montreal trading Hutson.

10 Jul 2024 14:42:47
Too much from MTL. they don't need Ehlers in their rebuild. Ehlers should be somewhere contending now at 28.

11 Jul 2024 18:56:18
Winnipeg definitely takes back a cap dump if this is offered.

26 Jul 2024 12:25:57
There's a pretty significant difference in value between Hutson and Mailloux. I'm sure the jets would be interested in a 1 for 1 deal (Mcgroarty for Hutson) but I doubt MTL would agree

07 Jul 2024 15:59:43
Possibly off the wall trade proposal.
WPG
Ehlers
CAL
Sharangovich
2025-3Rd.

Sharangovich may not bring the offence that Ehlers can. But he did have a good season and he brings more grit than Ehlers and better defensively. Also he can play all three forward positions. May need work on face offs tho.
Many would see this as more of a lateral move. But I feel it brings more options.

07 Jul 2024 17:21:28
I think the Flames will stick with Sharongovic. I beleive they also just re-signed him to a new long term deal.

07 Jul 2024 19:23:47
Calgary just extended Sharangovich, they're not trading him.

08 Jul 2024 14:12:00
I agree that it doesn't look like they will trade him given the extension, but you never know. remember Dubois.

08 Jul 2024 18:25:24
He quietly had a solid season. What’s sharangovichs deal i admittedly don’t know a lot about him who is he as a player? Something like a Zacha?

09 Jul 2024 01:08:09
I had no idea that Sharangovich just signed an extension. Never checked. My bad.

07 Jul 2024 00:48:21
Just read an article about WPG Ehlers.
That 2 main teams showing interest.
Carolina and NYI.
Just talked about trade with NYI
WPG
Ehlers
NYI
Pageau
Prospect
Draft pick.

If this is the case I would go after
Dufour
Or
Eiserman
Possibly Holmstrom.

Carolina trade would be tough.
WPG
Ehlers
CAR
Necas.
I don't think would work. Be nice but it's a no.

WPG would love Jarvis. But Carolina is not trading him.
Maybe Ehlers and McGoarty for Jarvis and Drury. But IDK.

07 Jul 2024 02:37:29
Pageau obviously doesn't worth since he's a cap dump and wouldn't waive for Winnipeg anyways.

They're not trading Eiserman and Dufour and Holmstrom are throw in, low value pieces that don't give Winnipeg anything they need.

Carolina isn't trading Jarvis and Necas is a lateral move basically for a player with only 2 years to UFA that will be more expensive than Ehlers next year.

07 Jul 2024 03:28:45
Personally I didn’t like the Pageau trade. Exactly what you said. Salary dump case scenario. Pageau is good, mostly defensive, which Jets already have Lowry and Namestnikov.
The Jets needs are a 2C and more help on defence. Preferably top 4D and RD.

07 Jul 2024 04:10:19
Agree. The only piece from the Islanders that makes sense is Pulock and I don't see that happening.

08 Jul 2024 16:01:26
gotta love these guys that presume a player won't waive a no trade. what is the basis of your argument? is it because you don't like Winnipeg?

06 Jul 2024 20:21:59
WPG
Ehlers
McGoarty
Pionk
SEA
Wright

Other than Wright, who Seattle isn't trading the other two pieces do nothing for Winnipeg or fill any needs.

Hey memarcusjoe why haven’t you ever made any trade proposals on here? All you do is criticize everyone else’s proposals. Grant it that a lot of the times what you say makes sense. You are an intelligent guy, But it’s easy to criticize. But why won’t YOU make a trade proposal? Scared of being criticized yourself?
You have answers to a lot of trade proposals but no example proposals.
Like to know what you would do if you were a NHL GM.
This isn’t to criticize you or be negative in any way. Like I said earlier. I think you are pretty intelligent guy. Just would like to know what you are thinking or would do in certain situations. Like McGoarty or/ & Ehlers trade? .
As far as above trade.
Brogen gives size on Right side.
Kartye young and gritty
I agree with you on Wright but if so it would take a lot to get him.

06 Jul 2024 21:39:23
McGroarty > Wright
Pionk > Borgen
Ehlers >> Kartye.

I've done them in the past, but I don't really find them all that much fun.

I prefer discussing trade ideas that are out there or might actually happen.

The only player rumor wise that makes sense for Ehlers is Pulock. However, he's likely not available and wouldn't waive for Winnipeg. So until something changes there's not much to discuss.

McGroarty I think won't be moved anytime soon.

06 Jul 2024 22:31:42
Lol. Nice trade Ebsolutely!
I like it.

07 Jul 2024 16:03:28
No way McGority is better then Wright.

07 Jul 2024 17:23:53
Not better but more value. I should’ve looked at ages because I didn’t realize there the same age. Wright has done a lot at 20 so I’m wrong I’d rather Wright.

Winnipeg isn't selling that low on McGroarty.

Boston isn't trading Poitras.

06 Jul 2024 16:20:12
Don’t you think it’s hard to properly grade someone (McGoarty) who has never played in the NHL?
What is his value?

06 Jul 2024 18:10:40
He's a top prospect that is in high demand, so he must be pretty good.

Are you contending that all of the 24 draft picks have little value because they haven't played in the NHL yet? I think NHL GM's disagree with you.

06 Jul 2024 19:04:13
That is NOT what I was implying. What I was saying is that it’s really hard to put proper value on players that never played in the NHL. That doesn’t mean they have no to little value! Think about Patrik Stefan went first overall or Yakupov or Daigle. Highly valued prospects. But didn’t amount to what was expected or thought they would.
I do think McGoarty’s game and style will translate well in the NHL. But there is no guarantee.
He is a high rated prospect. So trading him would be hard, cause value. How does he value to other teams. What are they going to give up? What are the Jets expecting to get?
I throw trades out in here for fun. That’s it.

06 Jul 2024 19:51:10
Okay. Well you asked, so I wasn't sure. He'd be evaluated just like any other prospect so it seemed like a superfluous comment to rationalize your offers.

The Jets will either look for a similar aged and skilled prospect or a young NHL ready player that fills a need.

We'll probably need to wait until at least the TDL to find out.

06 Jul 2024 20:43:18
One way to gauge a players value if you’re not overly familiar with them is Capfriendly.

McGroarty isn’t on there yet since he’s not under contract, but Robertson is, and he’s rated as a 79 / 3rd liner.

Given that McGroarty is highly sought after, you could reasonably assume you wouldn’t get him with Robertson.

06 Jul 2024 20:59:57
Thanks Chickenfoot.

07 Jul 2024 05:20:23
Have a good one Muzza?.

Carolina Trades
Necas

Winnipeg Trades
Ehlers


Makes sense to me for both teams.


Thoughts ?

06 Jul 2024 14:57:19
I don't think Chevy will use his best trade chip for two years of a player that is a lateral move and will be more expensive than Ehlers next year.

06 Jul 2024 15:49:44
I think WPG would have to add. But I also think Necas next contract would be higher than Ehlers. So as a financial standpoint, I think WPG would decline.
Even tho it would be nice addition for WPG.

05 Jul 2024 23:52:36
Carolina Hurricanes :
- Martin Necas

Winnipeg Jets :
- Nikolaj Ehlers

Sounds like the Canes are aggressively pursuing Ehlers.

06 Jul 2024 00:41:18
Winnipeg adds, necas is 5 years young, and also plays center. Ehlers is LW only, which is an actual need for carolina.

06 Jul 2024 01:04:24
I can't see Winnipeg just making a lateral move when they trade Ehlers. It's only 2 years of control for Necas and his next contract will certainly be more than Ehlers contract next year.

It just doesn't make sense for Winnipeg.

03 Jul 2024 23:59:16
Montreal trades with jets 2 scenarios
1:
Montreal sends
Harris, Barron, beck , Dvorak , Anderson
To Winnipeg for
Ehlers and McGroarty
2:
Mtl sends Harris or Barron, Anderson and Calgary/Florida 1st round (top 10 protected)
To Winnipeg for McGroarty

04 Jul 2024 03:09:50
You're not going to be able to dump Anderson and Dvorak without paying to do so and it won't be to Winnipeg.

Puck Pedia's dump calculator puts dumping Anderson at the 13 OA pick and Dvorak at 35 OA. So, keep adding you don't have enough to dump either.

04 Jul 2024 13:03:42
not sure i am sold on a guy who is already wanting out of a place he got drafted (Lindros relation? ) . plus the second trade is an overpay.

04 Jul 2024 16:41:05
The Jets have enough bottom pairing d-men and 4/ 5th line forwards of their own. The Jets would want less poor offered quantity of players and would want one top level player for Ehlers and McG.

04 Jul 2024 17:35:43
MTL declines as well.

06 Jul 2024 19:43:58
This trade in particular looks more like a MTL salary dump. With Dvorak and Anderson included.
Maybe do a Barron & Beck for McGoarty.
But I don’t See MTL doing any of this.
McGoarty’s style would look good in Habs top six tho.
