Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2017/2018 Season

[blue_gold_84]

We are basically at the point where we have a backlog of prospects so giving up a pick here and there now is perfectly fine to do. Ask me this two years ago and I'd have thought it to be asinine, though. We are in a different place now and can afford to make these moves if the hockey brains who run this team think we do.

You gotta give up something to get a player like Stastny. Look what the Predators gave up for Hartman; it's about the same.

This is good trade for the Jets, whose window has now opened. At some point, you have to trade away some picks and/or prospects to contend.

Paul Maurice says Tyler Myers was feeling under the weather and Toby Enstrom is fine after blocking a shot during today?s practice. #NHLJets

Are you serious?  It bumps Lowry to the 4th line and Hendricks to the press box.

I?m thinking Chevy had a sneaky feeling Foley may play out his college career and wait for free agency. Because let?s face it, the Jets roster was not going to be easy to crack.

Chevy finally gets his hands on Stastny after 4 yrs. He should be a perfect fit between 27-29.

I hope Chevy is able to extend him for a few more yrs. 3 yrs - 12 mil... 4.5/4/3.5??

I don't see how that fits in our current cap situation.  I see it as pretty much impossible.

It wasn't really about need. It was about bolstering the middle by adding an elite centre for a hopefully deep playoff run. And Cheveldayoff gave up very little to do so.

#NHLJets captain Blake Wheeler says he called Stastny last night, but wasn't taking credit for getting him to waive his no-trade clause.  "I think the  opportunity to contend was more attractive than anything I was going to  say."

Both Wheeler & Stastny wear #26. Wheeler joked his longtime friend could have the # but there would be a lot of pressure that goes with it. Happiest we've seen Wheeler in a while.

he's instantly the 2nd best face-off man on the team, passes the puck well and rumour has it could be teamed with Laine and Ehlers.

A depth D man with a left handed shot. 

[blue_or_die]

So for the time being, it's:

Connor-Scheif-Wheeler
Perreault-Little-Roslovic
Laine-Stastny-Ehlers
Copp-Lowry-Armia

right?
