I agree....When a team gets a first rounder, they should not expect a top prospect coming as well. We would need NYR to take half of Hayes cap hit though.

How bout Staal? No cap retention needed

With him not playing to his best it shouldnt be a huge return as well

Nobody in history of hockey has ever wanted Adam McQuaid unless you are trying to lose you dummy

True.

What are your guys' thoughts on Roslovic? I'm sure you guys aren't necessarily shopping him but is he just underperforming or what?

No, he is a young guy getting 9 mins a game on the 4th line. He now is on the 2nd line and PP with Ehlers gone and is showing his skill. Appleton and Petan are the only roster guys that will potentially move(for the young guys). The Jets brass will not move Connor, Roslovic or Ehlers unless its a blockbuster trade

Read the description...added physical presence and depth for the playoffs only.

Agreed, Roslovic won't be getting moved unless it's a big deal. He's a skilled player just not getting that much ice time. He should have a great opportunity to showcase his skills since Ehlers is out until February.

fair enough but McQuaid is more of a pylon than a physical presence

Contracts are pro-rated when a player is traded, so Hayes' cap hit is already halved if he's acquired at the deadline.

I'm not a big fan of McQuaid, I get he's a grit option but other than that he's really a poor player, Kulikov/Myers have great chemistry anyways.
