With the way heinola is playing in the liiga right now, he is going to make the jets imo. 8 points in 8 preseason games? I know it’s preseason but still, very good. I don’t want to get expectations too high, but he might have a big rookie year. I added Samberg to the roster because 1) he is ready as well and 2) he is big and makes the 3rd pairing monstrous. Just in case he isn’t ready, I resigned beaulieu as 7th d.
Now for the trades, for the time being, Danault would be a good fit in Winnipeg. 10th oa is the 2c of the future but until then, danault should be a good option that will let us contend. Anyways, chevy has apparently been after danault since he was in Chicago so he’s clearly a fan. As for the package, danault produces like a low tier 2c but his defense is very good. The market for those types of centres with an extension is a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd as shown by the pageau and recent 2c rentals by the jets. Therefore, they jets send their 2021 1st, 2021 2nd, and 2021 3rd for danault signed at 5x5.5. For severson, the jets make a 3-way deal:
WPG: Gives: niku, Seuss, and 2022 2nd. Gets: Severson and Sutter
VAN: Gives virtanen and sutter. Gets: Seuss
NJD: Gives: Severson. Gets: Virtanen, Niku, 2022 2nd (WPG)
Does every team get enough? Seems pretty reasonable for all ends to me but I may be biased so comment away!
The value is there for Danault, but if the Habs trade him they'll want a player coming the other way.
I know he is a prospect but does Vesalainen interest you at all? he is a big scoring winger which you guys seem to be after. Or Roslovic for more immediate help, who has top 6 upside still
Sevo is the best of the 3 NHL defenseman the Devils have, hes not getting traded. I don't really believe the rumor that things have soured but even if they have NJ doesnt have enough bodies to trade him amd wont unless the package blows them away.
