No…I’m fed up with the penny pinching crap.
Namestnikov is not a long term 2C option regardless how good of a year he is having.. he’s a bottom 6 winger.
Granlund is another waste of assets move…. Just pay the price to finally fix the issue.
Everyone say… I don’t want to trade a 1st…well, hopefully that 1st is #32, so who cares about it. If we get Lindholm, Lucius isn’t as big a need, and paying to dump…yes dump…. Schmidt and his anchor contract is def needed to work out extensions in this offseason… personally, I’d also move Namestnikov to, so I could use his 2m for extensions.
K so make the post where you dump Schmidt, find a trade partner for Namestnikov and acquire this long term answer at 2C cause to do that you're going to be moving way more assets then you think.
If acquired is Lindholm signing in Winnipeg to at least justify the assets lost? Also whats his next contract if he was willing to extend, do the Jets really need another $8M or more 29 year old guy with 55 and 37's extensions kicking in??
The Jets are doing good and the vibes are great, making as many moves as you want could have a negative impact on the room. For years the Caps would make a big splash at the TDL and it didn't make much difference, the year they won the cup they only acquired Michal Kempny, the Jets might be better off staying the course or doing something minor rather then making a big move at the TDL.
Personally I think they need an upgrade on the defense more then at 2C if they're to make a bigger name add, this is doesn't look like the defense of a cup contender.
