elizium Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Great off-season for the Jets so far. It would have been nice if Stastny had just resigned with them two years ago, rather than the Knights, but he finally gives the Jets the number 2 center they've been looking years for. He's not the player he once was, but if he's able to reclaim a bit of the chemistry he had with Laine and Ehlers, this could be great. And hopefully this signals the Jets are not trading Laine. Yes, they still need another defenseman, but 30-40 goal scorers are not just something you can replace. Trading Laine for a defenseman makes me think of Hall-Larsson. If Stastny doesn't work out for whatever reason, they didn't give up much of anything for him. Loved that they were able to resign Demelo and Cole Perfetti looks like he's going to be an absolute steal at pick 10, most of the mock drafts I saw had him going 5-7.

Only miss was not buying out Perrault. Could have put that money towards a defenseman. Agree 100% on the Perfetti pick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Honestly if I wasn't actually from Edmonton originally and have spent my entire life in central Alberta I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be so married to this stupid ass team. I think Tottenham brought me more joy in the last decade than the Oilers and Tottenham are mainly famous for never winning anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that say more about the players or the team they played for? Bogosian played some pretty good minutes for Tampa on their Cup run. And Simmonds played 7 games in Buffalo so I'm not sure if you have enough of a sample size to judge awefulness lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100% on the Perfetti pick though. I feel like Perreault is someone Maurice loves, so we were always gonna keep him. Be interesting to see if they do anything when Little is put on LTIR, as that should free up about 4M. They are better than they were, but I still feel like they will be middle of the pack, chasing a 3rd place/wild card spot. That D might be a horror show, I guess they think Sandberg is ready to make the leap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting them both for 2.5mil next year has very little downside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love everything that Dubas has done to address the shortcomings of last year's team. Thornton, Simmonds, Brodie and Bogosian, plus Barabanov and Lehtonen from the KHL, plus a full year of Nick Robertson are all pretty high upside additions.

I hate the Packers and the Blackhawks but have a good friend who is a gigantic fan of both. I was happy for him when those guys won but certainly not happy they won.

They didn't bring him in to play 80 games or be a point per game player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
