“So I’m gonna be really careful here Jeff because there’s are a lot of answers I don’t have. His family advisor is not talking and the Jets are not talking but the one thing I can tell you is that I have heard his name has come up in trade discussions.
That the Jets have discussed trading and other teams have discussed acquiring McGroarty’s rights.
Now you’ll remember a few months ago after the NCAA season McGroarty announced he was going back to Michigan for his junior year and the Jets have his rights for two more years.
And again I’m not gonna guess on anything here but I’m simply going to say that I’ve heard his name has come up in trade conversations.
So we’ll see where this all goes over the next couple of weeks. He’s a good player and he would be coveted.”

>His family advisor is not talking and the Jets are not talking
So nobody with any actual insight into the situation is talking, teams have probably been calling asking if the Jets would move him since he didn’t sign. Another nothing burger

Well that sucks. He’s either going to demand to be traded or he’ll stay in college until he’s a free agent. Fuck.

Jets really need to stop drafting so many American players

Worry is payment in advance for a debt that may never come due.
Until there’s something concrete, I’m going to enjoy yet another day I’m thankful for not being the GM of the Winnipeg Jets.

Just like when Friedman continually said Helle and Scheif would never sign here? He lost a bunch credibility with me on that one.
He’s just saying anything to fill time on his podcast.

There is like 3 players in this league that you shouldn’t even bother entertaining offers on. Otherwise, no harm in listening when a team calls.

What it sounds like is that McGroarty “might” be offered as a future prospect for a marquee player or a 1st round pick in the draft.

Do people here not realize he can sign with any team he wants next year? This is absolutely cause for concern.
The_world_is_done
I’m sure all GMs call all teams to trade for all players. If they aren’t, then they are missing out.

I was worried about this when he said he was going back to college.
Damn, as much as I give this team crap for their team management, having these issues of players not wanting to play here is a crazy hurdle to overcome.

I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that McGroarty’s name was coming up in the context of a possible Ehlers package

Smells like another trade with the NYR in the making.

I’d only start to worry if he doesn’t show up to development camp this summer. He was here last year and loved it. If he comes again this summer, I’ll still be 100% sure he’s signing when his college season is over.
If this comes down to him wanting to jump directly into the NHL and not play any AHL hockey, I think you just have to bite that bullet and let the guy come into the league after the college season on Lowry’s line and see how he does.
If he’s clearly out of his depth, he needs to see that firsthand, and then it will be a much easier conversation to demote him to the AHL.

This is entirely early speculation, Chevy still hasn’t even been backed into a corner and given a list one team Rutger will sign with so I’m calling bs. We’re at least a year early on this.
ElColeito
Is this karma for all the joy I took in seeing PLD get traded?
waitwhosaidthat
Pretty sure every player on every roster in the nhl has “come up in trade discussions” I hate the media sometimes. I wish they were only allowed to report on stuff that has happened. Like don’t give me this bs opinion article about something. Remember last season. “Hellebuyck has played his last game as a jet!” If you read all that you’d think he was all but gone. Then he signs 8 years to stay. Fuck the media. Report what’s actually happened and that’s it. Enough with the “gotta be the first to get the story out” then post it before you even check it.

I still don’t really like his choice to stay in NCAA from a development perspective.

Here’s how I imagine these trade conversations go:
“Hey Chevy, what’s he ask for Rutger?”
*Uncontrollable laughter*
*Phone hangs up*
AgentProvocateur666
Very tradeable name unfortunately
TubularWinter
Given that the Jets are probably looking for opportunities to improve at defence and top 6 forwards it wouldn’t be surprising to see McGoarty’s name come up. Would be a shame to see him go but the team already has Perfetti and Lambert ahead of him.
