need to deal and get deals

Hamonic is worse than DeMelo, also factor in his age and declining game, he’s hardly a top 4 dman. I think the jets need to make a trade to get their top 4 dman. Maybe a guy like Severson from NJ, or maybe go back to Vegas and inquire on Alec Martinez.

Demelo deal is worth, top pairing finally started acting like one, he brings out the best in Morrissey

Still think (maybe just hoping) that Hamonic can return home and play the game.
No doubt Severson would fit the top pairing with Morrissey and Chevy just has to offer NJ something serious. If Maurice doesn't use the young players then move them and fill a hole.
I did see a post that we send Pulock an offer sheet and if that is accepted and not matched then Pionk would be traded and maybe get a 1st back. In the end it would be Pulock for Pionk and a 2nd and a 3rd.

I agree, DeMelo isn't a top pairing dman, definitely not on a contender anyway, he's getting paid about a million too much imo.

The only way I see DeMelo as a top 4 dman is if he's on the 2nd pair with a very good LHD partner like say
H.Lindholm or someone like that but the Jets have no one close to that and it's a big stretch to think either of Heinola or Samberg will be that guy anytime soon.

And again this D core is far too small, was hoping to see at least one new addition back there with some snarl and bite to their game, I'm totally cool with Beaulieu and Sbisa coming back and they made probably the best 3rd D pair the Jets had but was still hoping for a new face in this D core besides the young guys.

Lots of offseason left, maybe there's another face coming in but considering Chevy's track record I think this is it.

Just keep coming back to the same question, are they trying to win a cup now or is this another transition year to see what they have in some of their young guys, as of now it definitely looks like the latter to me, above all else though I'm glad Laine is still a Jet, would be a major setback to trade him.

Trouba brought out the best in Morrissey and DeMelo is no Trouba. I thought at the start of the year Poolman and Morrissey was a great pair but I don't think Poolman can do it for the whole year. This is why we need a proven top pairing d like Pulock or Severson.
