<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooney</b></div><div>You're on that Granlund train hey lol?! I guess I haven't watch him play very much this season, I figured a young guy like Lambert could make the jump next year so haven't been targeting guys with term.</div></div>

Guys can be moved in the summer, like is Iafallo extending or should he even be extended at his age/price?

I just can't stomach selling prime assets for rentals, look how much of a difference Nino and Namestnikov are making, I've been screaming for Chevy to make those kind of moves for years! Why wouldn't another move or two like those be enough?

I know the big splash moves are exciting BUT they don't often work and we're all aware that Winnipeg needs its 1st round picks for long term sustainability of putting a quality product on the ice, just can't be tossing them away on rentals imo.

Even if Lambert is ready to be a 2C next season they can move someone else out including Granlund or just have really good depth for a season, would be surprised if the Jets put a rookie at 2C, history says they won't do that.

Idk, just my $0.02 on the idea of making a big 2C addition.

Jarnkrok would be a nice addition for the Jets, don't know where he'd fit though as I think they'll definitely want Kupari in the lineup and Jarnkrok does have trade protection so there's that, they tried to sign him last offseason but he opted for Toronto instead.

I wouldn't mind another depth signing, a guy like Heinen would be good to add but ultimately I think Chevy is done other then the eventual signings of Stanley and Chisholm for around league minimum. I bet the holdup is both guys are hoping to be traded, Chisholm is getting a two-way deal and is probably trying to get a higher AHL salary but the Jets are being cheap and only offering like $80K or something like that, Chisholm sees what his old D partner got from San Jose and is thinking 'why am I not getting that' and I also bet they're trying to get Stanley to sign a two-way contract to save some actual cash cause there's a good chance they'll send him down and if he clears waivers they don't want to be paying him $775K to play in the AHL.

Just mind boggling that they haven't done anything to clear this blueline backlog and that they value Capobianco more then many of the dmen they drafted, if Heinola hasn't officially requested a trade already we'll likely be hearing about one after this upcoming camp.

No way would Washington do that, the Jets should've traded for Strome at the 2022 TDL to get his RFA rights but ya know it was more important to get Appleton back and Zach Sanford... 🙄

Stanley isn't worth an early 2nd, I could see him MAYBE getting a very late 2nd from a team but more likely that he's just worth a 3rd.

Can't see the Habs trading Dach, that'd be a nice return for PLD but it ain't happening.

They should've traded for Domi in the past but signing him now seems unlikely, he'd sign back with Chicago before he'd sign in Winnipeg.

Would be great to have a 4 line attack especially a 3rd line that isn't a black hole but it just isn't happening with this organization, they seem infatuated with bad bottom six hockey players for some strange reason.

Idk how anyone can enjoy the Barron/Lowry/Appleton, they're painful to watch.

Sujet: Bennett
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueNorth</b></div><div>I read an article that he was being shopped to clear cap space. Hockey writers.com</div></div>

Just speculation by Seravalli. No basis to it at all. Look at it from a logical POV. Barkov has missed quite a few games this year due to injury and if they move Bennett they have a real problem with center depth if he goes down again. They aren't rebuilding any time remotely soon with their lack of picks either so they have to just take this as an off year and regroup next year.

Right now Florida is like Vegas from last year. They gutted theor depth for what was essentially not a significant upgrade in Huberdeau to Tkachuk. However it will benefit them long term. This season they were very cap strapped due to buyout cap hits and the Hornqvist contract in it's final year. However next year, even with the Knight extension they will still have a relevant amount of cap space to address the core problems with their current roster (namely the defense). Vegas didn't sell off core players last year and neither should Florida
