Sujet: Best Case Scenario
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Value wise, I think that's a pretty good haul for Winnipeg for Perfetti, but I think the Jets would want a similar aged, similarly talented, already playing in the NHL player back for Perfetti.</div></div>

I hear you, just don't know what else the caps have that they're willing to give up that fits that. Iorio can play in the NHL right now - he looked solid in the limited minutes he played at the end of the season - but he's stuck behind Carlson, Jensen, TVR, and Bear on the depth chart. He's going to be a good middle pair defenseman, but he can already hold his own on the bottom pair. I think a full year in the NHL next season would be great for him, just don't think he's gonna get that in DC. If Winnipeg sees Iorio as a young right-now piece, maybe the trade works? But if the Jets want a forward, it's tough to find something that fits the bill you described from the caps.

Sujet: Perfetti
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Yes, I would just keep Perfetti. Barron simply isn't better than any of Winnipeg's in house options.

While you can say both players struggled at times as all young players do. In think it's disingenuous for you claim that a young player that put up 19 goals playing regularly for most of the year in the top 6 on a team with a very good top 6, struggled as much as a a defenseman that couldn't consistently crack the lineup of a very bad defense.

Those are two very different levels of struggle.

If Perfetti was a Canadien, would you make the same deal for Barron?</div></div>

I am in the minority of MTL fans in feeling that Barron did not really struggle. He was MTL's 4th most used defence at 5v5 on average and he posted a 50% GF in that usage (which is a pass on a rebuilding team IMO).

He's not much a penalty killer and he had limited powerplay ice time on the 2nd unit, I assume MTL wanted him to improve his game defensively (specifically on the penalty kill) which is why they assigned him to Laval, but for the mistakes he makes he brings enough good to balance it out and that should improve with time. This was the last year before Barron required waivers so I think they just took the opportunity to develop him down there. Ultimately, the emergence of Struble is what pushed Xhekaj to Laval for a stint, but Xhekaj is simply better than Barron so eventually they changed spots.

But Struble had easier usage than Barron and he had worse results with a 47.76% GF, so I don't think it's fair to say he couldn't crack the line up... he was better than Struble and when he was in the lineup he played the majority of his minutes in the top 4.

Regarding trading Perfetti if I was the jets - i would say no not necessarily. But I would be trading a forward for a defenseman because of what they have in the system. I personally think Barron would be a good fit in WPG on the 3rd pair with the potential to grow into a top 4 role as he develops more consistency. He won't necessarily make you better right away but he gives you an internal solution to the aging and expiring contracts defence.

If you aren't interested I can understand (as WPG is probably wanting to get better now and doesn't really care about the future), my personal stance would be to keep Barron around anyways unless a really good offer is out there.

Sujet: Only Way Marner Waives his NMC
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>It will be interesting to see how that one works out. I can't see the Leafs walking away or moving Marner and I think it's a virtual guarantee he will be looking for more than Nylander, so very interesting as an outsider.

Do you really think they would consider moving Marner?</div></div>

I would have moved him before the nmc kicked in for sure. I.dont think they have a choice anymore. The team is constructed badly and there are some real ego issues on the team. Dubas really screws up with those big contracts right away too. It really seems like he is only there for the money. I'm not putting it all on him though and I would be OK with blowing up the team.

It is all my fault, I got his jersey and that is usually the kiss of death for a player. He will be the seventh player who's jersey I got then they got traded. 😔
