Hellebuyck needs to be traded first. here is why: let's say you trade him to the Sabres, you could get Cozens, Greenway and UPL. Cozens would be the Center they needed. OR to the Devils for Mercer, Schmid or Vanijek and a draft pick. then, Mercer would be the Center. Point is: now you can trade Schefiele for Debrusk and Swayman from Boston or Kotkienemi, Pesce and a draft pick from Hurricanes. Be smart Chevy! But don't start the season with Schfiele and hellebucyk in the Jets starting season lineup.
Helebuck for bobrovsky, sceifle for kuznetsov
hellenbyck over rated.
I do worry about Vilardi's durability playing in that 2C position. Danault has been great, but there is a reason we've never trusted Vilardi enough to play there. He has great 2-way numbers, but that was in a sheltered 3rd line role playing alongside our PPG player in Fiala and a solid workhorse C in Lizotte.
Defensive responsibilities at 2C are vastly different than at 3C where he doesnt have to deal with nearly as much contact. I am interested to see how he fairs. I have always liked him though, so here's hoping he can surpass 50 points next season and keep improving.
Their lack of good goalie prospects in the organization will bite them in the near future.
Hope they regroup around the pieces they have now. Better depth, better future prospects and they got rid of two problematic players in Wheeler and Dubois. If this move with Iafallo and Vilardi doesnt work in terms of contracts it is looking like a complete rebuild one or two years down the road.
Wrong Reichel😂 Lukas is in Chicago
Strictly from the main roster, Winnipeg has a potential 24,941,666 bucks coming off of their books.
We should know by March what kind of team they are, but I think it's time for a complete rebuild with that much money freed up for next season.
3:00–3:04
The thing that must be said is that all the guys that signed long-term in Winnipeg either came over from Atlanta, or were drafted. What the Jets haven't had is an actual free agent choose to sign long-term in Winnipeg. If that were to happen, that would make a huge impact on the team and the fanbase.
As it is, though, with this current management and team culture, that's just not a reality. There's not a commitment to building a contender. Cheveldayoff let the toxic locker room culture continue for years without making changes just to keep having good PR. Laine wanted to leave. Roslovic wanted to leave. Paul Maurice quit. Stastny had pointed comments in his last interview before leaving. So what pending free agent would want to sign-up for that? If the team had a front office that was committed to the business of trying to go for it, and creating a positive culture, they could attract a free agent, who wants to be there to help the team win, and wouldn't worry too much about the climate.
Love that Logo.
Hey Shannon do you think that the Bruins will make a trade for Shiefle?
Upon seeing this story evolve
Free Hellyubuck!!!! Dude can't wait to Escape the Peg. Right wing, Churchy and crime filled "city"
Felt that Namestnikov was brought back to pair with Ehlers whioh would affect lines. Assuming that Perfetti is sill earmarked for top 6.
The good thing with the Jets is the fact that most of their wingers can also play Center, so the depth is there for sure
They absolutely have to name a Captain but who could it be?
I would think Cheveldayoff is feeling the heat there. We'll see if these changes pay off or not.
If someone doesn't WANT to be there, you move them … they should eat half the salary on Hellebuyk and trade him, there are suitors … grab a grade A or A- prospect and a 1st rounder. He's 30 years old and not a playoff performer, whomever signs him to a long term deal may very well regret it in a few years. I just think the time to win a SC with him has passed and having a shot at squeaking into the playoffs isn't worth keeping him around. The same can be said for Schiefele. Jets need to bite the bullet and change the culture and if it means a couple of lean years, so be it.
Getting rid of Dubois is the best thing that will happen to any team.
2nd line centers who are drama-queens tend to perform lesser than their contracts.
The logjam on Left Defense is painfully obvious. Need to move someone out to give Samberg and Heinola room to grow.
