Posted February 10, 20169 yr comment_182276 Little late to the party but the Jets are holding their own in this one. Come on Maurice. Put Buff in front of the net on those PP's!!!
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182295 They are a good team 5 vs 5 tho. The tanking thing needs to die cuz they are 2 good 2 be bad. They win a few in a row and with the way the wild card teams are playing... who knows
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182296 Sweet shot by Scheif... Im fine if we end up with Tkachuk instead of Matthews
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182298 Don't need Tkachuk. We need LHD prospects. Juloevi Chychrun Sergachev Fabbro.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182301 Future LW as early as next season. Ehlers. Connor. Perreault. Don't need Tkachuk at all. LHD is the biggest need. Outside of Morrissey who is coming along nicely it seems there is nobody. Niku is a long shot.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182303 Got the sense listening to Chevys first intermission interview that Ladd will be traded
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182308 I hope so......that 6m in 4 more seasons that contract will be a burden and that is when this team will be contending. Trade Ladd to the highest bidder........again, I'd take prospects over picks.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182310 He definitely hinted at that mentioning he needs to sign the rfas. Ladd will be traded soon I think. Week or so. Unless and this is a big unless.... unless Ladd is willing to come down with his ask. Don't think he is. Also.... need to mention him... again. Armia... what a game. So much talent. If or when he learns how to finish ... look out. Guy Def has top 6 potential. My guess.. he replaces Stafford in a year or 2 and joins the top 6. Really solid player getting better and better every game
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182312 Armia could be the steal of that trade if he continues to improve, look how far he has come from training camp and even since he joined the big club, also has a big booster in Maurice, lets hope he continues to learn and find a scoring touch.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182313 Chevy might hold out to get more for Ladd.....I can see a few teams being interested. The Ducks being one of them.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182314 Couldn't agree more on Armia, he has great positioning in the D zone and is a tenacious back checker... he's paid his dues in the minors and sure doesn't look out of place out there. A top 6 of Wheeler, Armia, Scheifele, Ehlers, Connor and Little looks nice in 2 years. If we finish as low as I think we will, we can add yet another forward to that group. We need to finish poorly.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182315 I'd imagine most playoff bound teams would be interested in Ladd. He does have 2 cups
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182317 You know. I can see it now. Jets make a run but end up missing the playoffs. They are scheduled to pick at let's say pick 8. Jets win the draft lottery . The top 3 picks are all decided this year via lottery balls. Every team who misses the playoffs has a chance to pick top 3. Slim for some. Not so much for others. I've learned something a bit with the draft gods. They don't like teams who tank on purpose. Leafs. Blue Jackets. Etc. Only the oilers but they aren't doing it on purpose Edited February 10, 20169 yr by Goalie
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182318 If Matthews is as good as people say he is, he'd probably be the piece to put us over.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182319 Doubt it. We still lack LHD prospects. Some think Laine will actually be the better overall player.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182321 not many thi nk that........every article I have read has Matthews in first and some say he would have been 2nd in the last draft. Chevy has stockpiled the cupboards and continues to do so. If we need a LHD, he'll get one. I like Trouba on the left side and for this reason he will probably not be traded this off-season. I'd like to see Hamonic here next year and if they added someone like Barzal but that's unlikely to happen. I still think he ends up here this off-season.
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182326 Myers Enstrom For Hamonic De Haan and a 1st. That's an interesting trade right there. Isles might do it. I'm almost convinced enstrom is traded and soon. Just a gut feeling. Makes 2 much for what he does Throw in Ladd and I'd still do it. Myers Toby Ladd for Hamonic De Haan and a 1st. When Chevy makes trades they are blockbusters Edited February 10, 20169 yr by Goalie
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182329 Myers is not going anywhere .... that name should be left out for any fantasy trades.

When Chevy makes trades they are blockbusters If Chevy can talk the Isles into this deal, he would be considered the next Sammy Pollock. Send a 30 year old UFA expecting to get 6m a year and having an off year, a D man making 5.5 on the cap hit and an older, small, D man at 5.75m a year for A very good shutdown D man on a good contract.....and a 21 year old D that plays over 20 minutes a game and makes under 2m for another year and is an RFA? Oh, and throw in a 1st too????? 17+m to the Isles with 5.5m coming back and they are about 4.5m away from the cap......I'd love it. It gives us their shutdown pairing for Enstrom and Myers. Myers and Petan/2nd rounder for Hamonic is much more realistic.

Its hilarious to watch Twitter after a win versus a loss. The pysche of the fanbase goes from "this team sucks and needs to fire everyone and trade everyone and draft Auston" to "this team is so good and hard to play against and if they get in the playoffs look out".
February 10, 20169 yr comment_182375 If Jets pick 1st overall, they will choose Matthews for sure. After that, perhaps a LHD. But if there is a sure-fire forward, you pick the best talent and then trade other assets to shore up weak points. Morrissey's development and Toby having another year (or is it two) gives them time to decide on their Left Hand D, especially if Trouba remains there. Glad to see Armia doing well. I remember when that trade happened and everyone was talking about Lemieux and I read up a bit on Armia and saw he was compared to Selanne without the top end skill. Places called him a sleeper pick etc. What a fleecing that trade was... EDIT: What did Chevy say regarding Ladd?? Edited February 10, 20169 yr by The Unknown Poster
