<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Toronto doesn't need Scheifele, They're set with Matthews and O'Reilly and Tavares.

Hellebuyck doesn't sign with Ottawa, And if DeBrincat doesn't want to sign with Ottawa. He sure as hell isn't signing with Winnipeg. And Winnipeg won't give Cat the 8 x $9,000,000 he's looking for either.</div></div>

I think Hellebuyck would sign anywhere if the team is good -- he's an outdoorsman country dude, he's not a metropolitan kinda guy at all. There's a reason his last contract was a 6-year deal with Winnipeg. He just doesn't want to be part of a rebuild.

Though I do agree on DeBrincat for the most part. Still fun to think about though -- if Chevy stays on as Jets GM, I can just see him wanting DeBrincat with the blind hope of "rebuilding while staying competitive"

Also -- isn't O'Reilly a pending UFA? Ofc if they re-sign him then they wouldn't have room for Scheif, but given his performance with the leafs I can't see them having cap space to keep him, unless he takes a huge hometown discount.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Burnout</b></div><div>I'm all for using the Trouba trade as a framework. But since it was 20th OA and Pionk (who was an undrafted 24 year old and the D the Rangers were most willing to move in a trade with Skjei, DeAngelo, Fox, Miller, etc. on the team/in the system) for a 50 point D-man, I'm not sure Jets fans would want to use it as one. A comparable wouldn't be the Florida 1st and Dach, it would be the Florida 1st and guy like Gurianov.</div></div>

Pionk was undrafted, but he was also coming off a season where he averaged 22 minutes a night for New York and I think that isn't meaningless. Besides, MTL will likely want to move $$$ out back to WPG in the trade, considering Dubois is going to want like $9M a season. Unfortunately, Montreal's trade chips are all either young rookie contracts or are overpaid veterans with negative trade value (i.e. Josh Anderson). Dach is the only guy that fits the bill as a) not a top prospect b) a roster player and c) years of term at a $3M+ salary.

Though, the Jets are in a different position now than they were in 2019, so maybe the Jets just eat a Dvorak/Anderson contract in order to get another pick or a better prospect in the package.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>So a guy who has 27 career points in 157 career games and a lousy 4th that's 3 drafts away, And we retain 50% on Vrana. Yeah don't think so.</div></div>

Red Wings are rumored to be either A) buying him out in the off-season or B) trading him now. The guy has played four games all year and is fresh out of rehab. Getting a fringe roster player and a mid-pick at half retained is more than a fair offer IMO. If DET just buys him out, they're taking a cap penalty of $1.4 next year and $1.9 the year after.

I would think the option of just having the retained $2.6M next year is without question preferable for Detroit, no? Especially as Detroit continues to move closer to being a contender by then.

Sujet: Winnipeg Jets Opening Night Lineup
"I would love to see another take on Pionk with Morrisey on the top pairing. Pionk is in desperate need of a bounce back season, and I don't think he is going to get that on a line with Dillon. I also feel that DeMelo is the perfect D partner for Heinola on the 3rd pairing."

100% agreed. DeMelo and Morrissey make a good pairing, but the ceiling for Morrissey-Pionk is well above the level of play we can get out of Morrissey-DeMelo, it's our only shot at having a true number one d-pairing. Obviously there's a chance it doesn't work, they don't have chemistry and/or Pionk continues to struggle, but if they did work out it'd be huge and like you said, it opens up DeMelo to be able to help another high ceiling player in Heinola with his steady defensive play. I'd also like to see it tried in that I wasn't overly enthused by the chemistry between Pionk and Dillon last year, I'm not super keen on running that one back.

I do think Samberg will beat out Heinola for the last spot on defense though. Honestly I really don't know how we're going to figure that one out. Stanley seems like a lock for the press box right now, with Heinola being heralded as the guy who deserves a spot and has played well, while Samberg has also looked good but fills a positional need better than Heinola, IMO -- we already have Morrissey, Schmidt and Pionk as offensive defensemen who can run a PP and our defense is pretty small -- another guy who can play on the PK and has some size in Samberg does seem more fitting given our lineup.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>"Wheeler could still get moved but it feels less likely every day. We'll have to pay out the *** to get someone to take on his contract and at the end of the day he's still a productive player, even if he's past his prime.

I agree with this outside of paying out the ***. I think there are a lot of contenders that would love to add him, but just not at that salary. CUt it in half (hopefully by routing him through a team that needs to get to the cap floor).</div></div>

Rumor is that the Jets don't want to retain salary on Wheeler lol. Otherwise, I'd agree. Retain like 30% to 50% and send him to Florida or something
