Speculation: Perfetti out a minimum of 8 weeks - Jets to add top 6 winger?

[tbcwpg]

Lots of 3rd line guys offered here for a thread that's titled Top 6 Winger.

The Jets already needed a forward who could contribute on the scoresheet before Perfetti went out, now they need a couple, in my view. That said, I wouldn't break the bank on a 2nd forward given Perfetti should be back around playoff time.

Sure. What round pick are the Habs adding for the Jets to take this wipe out?

At 50% on an expiring deal don't see why Habs would need to add. I'd take a 4th or a 5th for him tho

Nah, no interest in him.

I don’t see why the Jets would take on a guy with zero goals this season when we’re in the market for a top 6 player.

Not worth the roster spot or the cap allocation even if he was offered for free.

They need Brendan Gallagher
Trade for Brendan Gallagher
The Winnipeg Jets need to trade for Brendan Gallagher

Jets already needed two middle 6 players.

Schmaltz and Bjugstad for Lambert and a 3rd?

Domi and Athanasiou for 2025 2nd + 2025 4th

 

[Boxertim]

Want Drouin at 50% for a mid pick?

top 6, not top 16

 

[bossram]

Anthony Beauvillier can be yours! He's HOT!

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

With the way Kane and Domi have been playing lately, that's the pair I would love to have most, but I strongly doubt that Kane will waive to Winnipeg (even with the Chevy connection). Meier will be very expensive, and I don't think his future long-term contract would really be beneficial to us. Schmaltz would fit, I think. Barbashev is probably one of the better choices for pure rental wingers, too. We have so much cap space and so many options, the question is what Chevy is willing to give up to get there.

Schmaltz and Bjugstad for Lambert and a 3rd?

Yes.

 

[BatVader]

Would love if Chevy could pry Konecny out of PHI.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I've got a smoking deal on a slightly used Kasperi Kapanen to offer you

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Nope, zero interest

There should be for Drouin or Dadonov if the cap hit can be reduced substantially. A 4th or 5th round pick is not worth much.

 

[Thechozen1]

Domi and Athanasiou for 2025 2nd + 2025 4th

Done deal!

No, thx. Jets are aiming higher then either of those guys.

 

[heilongjetsfan]

Timo is an RFA he can’t walk without compensation going to the club that he is on when his deal expires

RFA with a $10m qualifying offer.

 

[Bobby9]

Jets GM Conservative Kev gonna blow another opportunity for a successful post season.

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

Tyler bertuzzi 50% retained. Yzerman is reportedly not shopping him but a good enough offer would change that.

Price would be too high.

Do you think JVR would enjoy Winnipeg?

You have a better chance of a summer's day in Winnipeg January than that.

Do you think JVR would enjoy Winnipeg?

No. I'm sure his pal Kevin Hayes, who also clearly did not enjoy his brief stint in Winnipeg from the interviews he's given, has told him all about it. JVR doesn't have a choice in the matter though.

 

[Guffman]

Do you think JVR would enjoy Winnipeg?

Who cares? Why is that relevant? Not like he has an NTC.

After the Hayes debacle, I don't think Chevy is willing to take on anyone who doesn't absolutely want to be here (or at the very least - players who don't mind it). Other than waiver wire players, Chevy chases proper fits, not big names. The JVR pool is likely tainted already thanks to Hayes, I don't see it happening.
