October 9, 20204 yr comment_486210 Love it. Would have liked to have them retain a little bit, but eh. That's fine. The cap space is there for this reason. Another good move by Chevy.

October 9, 20204 yr comment_486217 Jets still have some cap issues. Depending on what happens with Little, there are still a bunch of RFA's to resign. We may not have the dollars to get a big impact defenseman that is missing from this club.
October 9, 20204 yr comment_486218 I feel like they did not get enough here. Vegas very desperate to shed cap dollars, we should have gotten a draft pick back from them, forced them to retain salary, or offered no better than a 5th or not given a player as well. They were in more need to make this deal than we were. And I don’t know how much 2 years older and the injuries will offset the prior chemistry with Laine and Ehlers in a short sample size. If we had the 2018 Stastny and not the 2021 Stastny I’d be more pleased with the deal. We shall see.
October 9, 20204 yr comment_486219 I think Little is retiring and that's why they were able to take on Stastny.
October 9, 20204 yr comment_486225 Great write-up from Ken Wiebe on the trade: https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/re-acquiring-paul-stastny-benefit-jets-multiple-ways/ Quote A trade for Stastny in an attempt to rekindle some chemistry with Laine and Ehlers is a much better alternative for Cheveldayoff than moving Laine in a trade he might end up regretting. Stastny is a highly-analytical player who loves to talk about the game, which allowed him to build a fast friendship with Jets top centre Mark Scheifele. Stastny is also close with Jets captain Blake Wheeler and it’s possible those two could play together on a line at some point, much like they did during the 2012-13 lockout when they were teammates in Germany in the DEL with Munich EHC.

October 9, 20204 yr comment_486230 Solid top 9 But, man, did we gut our depth chasing the cup run... $10 million in cap for the four RFAs and another D... There's no 1RHD coming - Chevy only has $2-3 million (IF THAT) unless he can shed the Perrault contract
October 9, 20204 yr comment_486231 I thought it was all but confirmed that Little was retiring? With all he's been through, now seems like a really good time for him to transfer into a front office role with the club....
October 9, 20204 yr comment_486241 say it ain't so..... the lord giveth back Stastny and the lord taketh Laine

October 9, 20204 yr comment_486243 yeah you're right Wiebe or Hamilton would have said something by now.....or Fans of the Winnipeg Jets for that matter, I should have seen that ghost of Morins MCL, I guess I'll give myself a one hour posting penalty Edited October 9, 20204 yr by iHeart
October 9, 20204 yr comment_486324 all right, found the right thread. So happy to have Paul back in Winnipeg!

October 13, 20204 yr comment_486610 Too bad the Jets missed out on Devon Toews. Two 2nd's for a legit top 4 who's 26 yrs old?! Sakic is just killing it in Denver.
October 13, 20204 yr comment_486613 We're going to have to move Roslo and Niku to add anyone else. Or, the best we'll be able to do is a $2M defender. Currently, we have one defender making just over $6M per year and everyone else is at $3M or less. Crazy. $16.075M (plus Niku). Presently, 19.7% of our cap is going to our defense. It's time to make some moves. Edited October 13, 20204 yr by JCon
October 15, 20204 yr comment_486841 Very interesting comments from Pierre Lebrun, who spoke with Laine's agents. Both sides are in regularcommunication and Laine's agents have said to Chevy, given the trade speculation, that a trade would be mutually beneficial for both parties. We are definitely looking at the end of Laine's tenure here, I fear. This doesn't sound like contract negotiation stuff. A shame, really.
