Eric Guthrie says hello.

Had to look him up, but it looks like there have been 2 starters since the 1960's. My point stands.

IF, I am trading NP4, it would have to be for a top 6 forward with some term. The Jets need a 2nd. line C or RW.

One Canadian QB has become a starter in the CFL since Russ Jackson. Why does anyone care about Elgersma?

I'm not sure that list is much help. Many players were previously on NFL rosters. Some were on AR and most were on PR's or released in TC's.

Some will return to the NFL for a 2nd attempt. Many UFL players are ex NFL players at the end of their careers.

Yes..

It's probably not of much interest, and not available at all.

If Chevy gets a 2nd rounder for Schenn, he should be knighted.

It's a big if but that's basically what Cheveldayoff gave up for him last year. Trying to recover from that miscalculation to some degree would be nice.

A 2nd rounder and a good prospect for Pionk would be good.

I can't say I understand your fixation on him as a trade piece. Even if we ignore the fact he's injured, he's under contract for six more years.

I think you might have misinterpreted my reply. Of the scenarios you listed about benching the old guys, giving the youth/prospects more ice time with the big club, and trading Stanley, I think the only one that happens realistically is the last one - and that's sad considering the team's current situation/playoff aspirations.

If the Jets could get a 2nd or 3rd rounder for Schenn, I'd make that trade.

"Future considerations"  would be an overget for Schenn right now.  A 7th rounder in 2029 would be great.

A 2nd rounder and a good prospect for Pionk would be good.

No idea what Stanley would be worth, if you could get a second, I think that's value, I don't think even a late first would be feasible with him being a rental and, well, Stanley.  Anyone who wants him for his future knows they can wait and outbid Chevy.  Not sure any contenders need him as a rental.

Too bad they stopped it.

Yeah, a complete destruction would have meant a rebuild from scratch...

Reminds me of the story about the Canadian furniture store that used to burn down every few years... one winter, the owner was in Florida on the beach, and struck up a conversation with an American businessman next to him.  Turns out they are both in furniture, and are both on vacation while their businesses are being rebuilt.

The Canadian mentioned his business had burned down and asked how the American's business was destroyed, and he said that a tornado had swept through town.  The Canadian looked at him and said "That's interesting, how do you start a tornado?"
