?? so winnipeg get a defenseman ufa after this years and a old spunk saad for ehlers a young talented forward. Do you pay with monopoly money at grocery store ??

Jets decline. Ehlers is looking the best he ever has. I honestly don't see chevy making any big moves to acquire d help. he's smart and patient, I don't see him making any big moves that hurts us moving forward. Plus we have a number of real good d prospects coming up that will be ready in 1-2 years so making a move like this doesn't make sense. Plus you'd have to give up more than that for Ehlers.

how is sending more cap at the jets giving them cap flexibility, do you strictly mean for saads money to come off the books? saad is 6m aav. ehlers is 6m aav oh and younger. Including gustafsson is great but a no name prospect and an aging saad isnt really helping the jets. Not to mention by moving saad who do the blackhawks move to sign debrincat and strome to a lengthy extension? saad will be moved but to lose cap not bring more cap back.

If u never traded jokiharju him and saad could've got ehlers

I think that with the situation with the defense in winnipeg chevy is willing to tale a step back even miss the playoff then make a bad trade. They already mishandled trouba. Trading ehlers would be a disaster for the jets since they need him really bad on that second line. And with heinola, niku, samberg, stanley and green coming up the cup window might open again in 2 years

Yeah what else would you pay with

Jets need to add D, but not at this price. If they did trade Ehlers, which they shouldn't IMO, they could get much more of a return then this. Plus why would the jets want Saad?
