[Mike McIntyre] “He’s an NHLer. They will regret it.” The #NHLJets and top prospect Rutger McGroarty are at an apparent impasse over the immediate direction of his career — to the point the team may have no choice but to trade his rights.

[title’s from his tweet where I found it](https://twitter.com/mikemcintyrewpg/status/1804552396561162500), just figured I’d link the story directly
Don’t have the urge to work around the FP paywall, but saying they’ll regret something that hasn’t happened yet is such hyperbole. The Jets should be able to get value out of a trade.
I don’t see how he’s not a top 6 forward on the current jets team if Monahan isn’t resigned and ehlers isn’t traded. Other than Connor, scheifele, vilardi, ehlers and perfetti, who slots into the top 6? It would have to be lambert or Mcgroarty. If the speculation in this article is true and it’s that there’s been some indication to him that he wouldn’t crack the lineup, I’d be pissed. I know we love the draft and develop but Christ, id wager we’re in danger of crossing into ‘not giving opportunity’ territory for a lot of prospects
Poverty Franchise
The way I read this is that he thinks he should be given a nhl roster spot no matter what?
Why not come to camp, play well enough to force the jets to keep you?
Seems pretty straight forward to me.
Fucking kids these days. Beyond entitled.
So he wants a spot on the jets without having to prove it? Columbus and Chicago are in pretty different situations than the jets and it’s no surprised they’d be getting more opportunity.
It seems to me more younger prospects are unhappy with being told to gel in the AHL or earn minutes on the big club. It’s interesting.
GIVE THE KIDS A CHANCE. Same old story with the jets. Heinola, Perfetti, and now McGroarty. The biggest knife in our back is we can’t attract star players, so our solution is trade away anyone that could develop into a star or heavily shelter any potential prospects minutes? Not trying to be an armchair GM despite the paragraph, I just want to be excited about our prospects again.
What do you guys think of McGroaty for Lohrei?
stop drafting americans
they dont wanna be here
he’s right to put himself first
make $900,000 in the nhl
not $80,000 in the ahl
he owes nothing to the jets
Speculation is that he wants to be traded but he doesn’t need to be traded now. We don’t know if the relationship is completely lost. Maybe KFC is calling him right now to come hang out for a few days.
We’re known as a draft and develop team, but man our development sucks. I also see it from the Jets side. They’re not selling tickets they need to go all in for a cup. Tricky tricky situation for the Jets. Rutger is already a fan fav and the Jets should go the distance to give him a spot following his NCAA season this year.
Draft and ~~develop~~ fuck up team
Arniel and Chevy trying to start the off-season poorly
Another primadonna who hasn’t played a game in the NHL but thinks he deserves a guarantee.
Gosh management sucks ass.
Give him whatever he wants to get him to stay IDC
