February 10, 20169 yr Author comment_182537 He's on pace for a 52 point season and is great on the PP. He isn't afraid to make a hit, make a block, certainly isn't afraid to shoot the puck and has a good wrist shot.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182538 And is also, what 4 years younger than Ladd? You give Perreault let's just say a 4 year extension this off-season, he's around 5 more years then... at the end of that contract he is 31 ish.. Ladd, he's 30 right now, at the end of his he'd be 36... It just makes 2 much sense to trade Ladd. Jets are not gonna budge with Ladd, their offer is probably the final offer, moving on to and signing Buff suggests that Ladd is a goner... read between the lines with what Chevy says and you can pretty much tell he feels the same way. Ladd will be traded. Edited February 10, 20169 yr by Goalie
February 10, 20169 yr Author comment_182545 I sure hope so. Anything around 6m per year for Ladd or longer than 5 years term is too much. MP at 17m over 4 years would be ideal. By the time his contract expires, he is being replaced by the likes of Roslovic/Harkins/Connor/Petan/De Leo/Lemieux/picks. I'd like to see MP and Armia play with Scheif but how do you break up the ESW line? Matthews wold be so huge for this team.
February 10, 20169 yr Author comment_182555 ya, kinda hard to keep up to Maurice's line shuffling the past couple of games.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182559 Connor, Ehlers, Lemiuex and one of Ladd/Perreault are likely the projected LW for the next X amount of years (Lemieux being the X factor as to whether he plays next season or the season after. Not bad... With Wheeler and hopefully Armia continuing to get better on the RW. Plus potentially Petan and Roslovic. Stafford being 30 might get an extension, 1-2 years at a good price if he wants to stay here.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182563 Stafford will be sold off next season at the trade deadline, No way he's signed to a new deal. Not a chance.
February 10, 20169 yr Author comment_182565 Yup, slim chance. He'd have to play absolutely lights out to get re-signed. I like him though, he's been moved all over the lineup and does what is asked of him.
February 11, 20169 yr comment_182613 I generally agree. Just thinking of by next February the jets aren't scoring a lot he might be retained. Our scoring will rely on going players getting better. Next season might be too soon for a vast improvement.
February 11, 20169 yr comment_182625 It all depends on who steps up, if no one does anything then he might be retained.
February 12, 20169 yr comment_182946 A guy on the Blackhawks SB Nation page did an article on what the Hawks should trade for Ladd. He seems to think Shaw along with their 1st and/or a prospect would be doable. Obviously just a blogger's opinion but would that be a fair trade? I don't know a great deal about Shaw (other than when we play him or watching a few Hawks playoff games) but if this trade happened I'd be pretty happy with it. Shaw is a good player with that right amount of sandpaper and skill. http://www.secondcityhockey.com/2016/2/10/10945434/blackhawks-jets-andrew-ladd-trade-rumors-analysis-nhl-2016
February 12, 20169 yr comment_182952 Ugh bloggers... If we trade Ladd, and it looks more and more likely, I'd want a young up and comer and draft picks. Cuz if it's a salary dump that would be most likely. Problem is not many of those LW's out there to make a reasonable trade if salary is the issue. Be nice if Petan was looking ready to take the next step, but it doesn't. Tricky too since this year"s draft is pretty weak overall
February 12, 20169 yr comment_182968 Dump Ladd, Stafford, Thorburn, Enstrom... for anything. Core needs to be scrubbed. Keep Pavelec so that we can send Hellebuyck back to Moose and get his confidence back for next season. Boston looked like cup champions tonight.

Sorry but those loses are not on his shoulders... Send Pavelec and his 3 mil per year packing
February 12, 20169 yr comment_182976 The same helle who beat st louis the other night? Give your head a shake Floyd
February 12, 20169 yr comment_182982 Give my head a shake...? Jets are out of the playoffs... didn't realize you guys were shooting for 13th overall pick. Good plan, boys. Helle to Moose, trade Pavelec in off-season.
February 12, 20169 yr Author comment_182984 The Jets have been out of the p layoffs since November if you have any kind of working eyes.
February 12, 20169 yr comment_182987 Oh well. They won't make the playoffs. Oh well. There's always next year.
