Considering Trouba is a Michigan boy, does anyone think Stevie Y puts his stamp on the team with a big trade for Trouba?

23 May 2019 12:33:52
I wouldn't be suprised if he tries to get him. Not sure who would go the other way., I don't believe Jets can have a lot of salary coming back? With Laine and Conner needing contracts.
What do you think Jets will need in return?

23 May 2019 20:57:22
They need a 2C and LHD.

Detroit: Athanasiou And 2nd rd 2019

Jets: Trouba

Anathansiu becomes 2c.

23 May 2019 23:28:08
Detroit doesn't have the players that the Jets would want.

24 May 2019 03:47:32
It seems like no team has the players the jets would want.

24 May 2019 17:36:22
Jets sure don't want Ron Hainsey!

24 May 2019 19:51:23
Good point Noel, out of left field.

24 May 2019 21:11:36
Don't mock Hainsey as he is a generational player now that he plays in Toronto.

24 May 2019 22:03:57
How did Ron Hainsey end up in this post?

24 May 2019 22:12:27
A jets fan thought they’d throw Hainsey in there Sosa. Islandjet really likes Hainsey too. Maybe the great Trouba for Hainsey and Gauthier? Gauthier could slide in at 2c in Winnipeg.

25 May 2019 12:11:52
Maybe the 6th overall and Athanasiou for Trouba plus? Winnipeg is in a win now so they’d want a roster player back, not just a pick. AA can play center, maybe Winnipeg adds a prospect?

25 May 2019 12:19:54
Chevy will not do an Oilers and make a trade like Hall for Larssen. I believe the Jets want a young #1 center or a solid #2 center with a #1 pick at the draft. The Wings don't have much to offer the Jets that make them better unless Yzerman wants to give up players he shouldn't.

25 May 2019 20:16:35
It could possibly be AA plus one of the Wings defensive prospects and a pick. Depending on which guys are involved.

It may need to be someone other than AA though as it doesn't look like he can play center.

21 May 2019 23:39:57
karlsson and hertl are sitting tonight.

22 May 2019 03:23:33
Blues are going to win.

22 May 2019 12:56:20
They absolutely have a chance. I'd view it as a coin flip either way. Both good teams from the net out. Big D. Play with physicality. And high end offensive talent. Really excited for the series. Hope it goes 7 games!

18 May 2019 13:14:18
Which player on your team has been a disapointment so far?
(Current Roster or AHL player)

Mine is

[ Calgary Flames ]

Mark Jankowski (21st Overall in 2012)

So far he's been a let down for me, thought he was going to be a top 6 forward atleast.

18 May 2019 15:19:07
Mine was Alex galchenyuk but he's gone now so idk.

18 May 2019 17:33:20
Dmytro Timoshov for me I thought he was going to be a star I suppose he could still make an impact but it’s a long shot he’ll be a top 6 player in the NHL definitely has the speed, Hockey sense and handles tho.

18 May 2019 20:20:12
I guess would be Micheal MaCcaron.

18 May 2019 21:36:55
@sosa maybe but I didn't really have high hopes for him anyway.

18 May 2019 22:52:23
I was hoping he'd be a 15 to 20 goal guy, that could be a menace due to his size. but, that isn't going to happen.

19 May 2019 13:26:08
freddie gauthier, all that size and doesn't use it in spite of not having the best hands you would think he'd be more physical.

20 May 2019 01:53:34
@vb Timashov cannot be a disappointment.
He is a 5th round pick, by what he has accomplished so far he's already exceeding expectations for the 125th player taken.

20 May 2019 04:10:47
Ovies hero, yeah that kind of shocks me. All you guys got some pretty good picks and its a shame they couldn't live up to the hype

20 May 2019 18:38:20
I guess but I suspected him to be the steal of the draft him and Kylington.

20 May 2019 23:34:19
I guess Liljegren so far. Notice the jets girls don’t have anyone they’re disappointed in?

21 May 2019 01:26:23
Leaf17 ahahah the jets comment. But liljegren imo will be a top 6 defencemen. Just got to give him time

21 May 2019 06:40:30
I know defenseman take longer to develop but I was hoping at least top 4.

21 May 2019 13:35:33
I’m a Lightning fan, and I guess it depends what you mean by disappointment. At this point it’s probably Matt Spencer or maybe Mitch Stephens but they were more bottom 4 D/ bottom 6 F anyway even though they were drafted high. Lightning have traded a lot of their disappointments like Koekkoek and DeAngelo (although both are still legit NHL players)

21 May 2019 21:59:16
For me, in terms of current players on the roster, it’d be Connor Brown 150%. SOme teams may value him at a 3RP or so, but his play over the last two years has been dismal. He was great in year one and everything kinda disappeared, his skill, his shooting, his speed, its all just gone. I thought his 2.1x3 was going to be a steal of a contract, turned out terribly wrong.

Even Garrett Sparks sticks out. AHL goalie of the year can barely keep up in the big leagues.

22 May 2019 00:48:50
That’s no way to be Leaf homers guys. Only a few fan bases decided to chime in?

22 May 2019 01:15:17
The list is too long for Oiler fans, Leafs 17.

22 May 2019 03:00:07
my whole team was a disappointment, with exception of anthony duclair at the end.

22 May 2019 06:45:28
That’s pretty funny Ebs and facelift. At least you can admit it. Every team has their problems.

22 May 2019 18:09:13
Oilers may have a long list. but Yak has to be up at the top, lol.

22 May 2019 18:10:26
Chucky is interesting. he had flashes of talent but just never consistent. Maybe Andreghetto - although he did turn it around in Colorado after that trade.

22 May 2019 23:08:47
Yeah he played well on a line wth Nate for a couple months. There has been plenty of minor disappointments de la rose fucale etc but like androghetto they were not really expected to be elite. Galchenyuk was expected to be at least close to elite and he never really was.

17 May 2019 23:21:07
just wondering where value sits with ryan callahan from the lightning? one year left at 5.8, is he considered someone the lightning would be trying to dump? I wish ottawa would think about that for assistance at the forward position instead of signing a free agent like spezza.

18 May 2019 04:51:32
He is going to get dumped, they need the money and made him a healthy scratch last year down the stretch.

18 May 2019 21:39:11
I think they would have dumped him in any of the last 3 years if they had a chance but now with his contract almost over they should be able to get a taker now I would think if they sweeten the deal.

19 May 2019 20:10:13
Should probably be dumped, yes. Cost should not be too high, though. Just 1 year left at 5.8m with the actual salary being lower, so a team like OTT would make a ton of sense actually. They need to try hard to reach the cap floor anyways. So why not have a great veteran leader like Callahan that can easily play in their middle 6 with just 1 year left on his deal while gaining a prospect and/ or pick in the process?

15 May 2019 05:31:04
What do you guys think about Canucks offering Meier a 7x8.25 contract?

15 May 2019 06:21:05
That’s 4 1st round picks because if the contract is over 5 years you take the total money and divide by 5. So they wouldn’t do it but I don’t think he gets close to that. My guess would be in between 6.5 and 7.5.

16 May 2019 09:27:20
I think won't happen.

18 May 2019 13:06:42
When does 1 single 66 point season fetch you 8.25M @ 7YR tho. A bridge contract is more reasonable and not at that money, i'd say more like Nylander at 6.9M
