<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>The Jets have no need to pay to move Schmidt. He's good defensive depth for this year and his cap hit doesn't hinder the Jets at all.

The Jets most likely just ride out Schmidt's contract, or buy him out if need be in the summer.</div></div>

I have to disagree.

Yes he is good depth, however, the Jets will need that cap space to make a trade at the TDL to boost the forward core and they still have Heinola, Chisholm, and Stanley (sadly) that can fill in with samberg on that bottom pair and iff they need to get a bottom pair RHD then Sean Walker is avalible in philly.

If a team offers this to WPG, they have to take it immediately. IMO this is too little to dump Schmidt. I fully believe it will cost near a first round pick in value to dump schmidt.

<strong>I just think he would be the type of player who isn't a first pair talent but could be a good fit to play with Morgan</strong>. At a cheap cap hit. There really aren't too many RD options that fit without major changes.</div></div>

You are 100% accurate. He isnt a top pair D but he is a great complement for an 'offensive dman' and can turn them into top pair D. He has turned Josh Morrissey from a 4/5D making over 6M for 8 years to a legit top pair D. DeMelo is one of the most underrated dmen in the league. He elevates his partner's game, and he would do just that with Rielly. Great on the PK and is just so sound defensively at 5v5. Plus he had a breakout year offensively. There is a lot to like about DeMelo and at the deadline, the Jets could easily get a 1st for him.
