We shoulda done both with the trade added more to ditch loui or used a better player
- Jkuzzi

Explain how this fantasy land scenario plays out?!?

Hint: other GMs know that loui sucks and has a 6m cap hit, bruh...

Dillon to the caps for a 2nd round pick and a 3rd round pick (conditional)

Question: Setting aside for a moment the injury status for Ferland and Boeser, which would you prefer?

A. Giving up the 2nd and Madden to swap Schaller for Toffoli for the balance of this season, or

B. Giving up the 2nd and Madden at the draft to get rid of the last two years of LE's contract.
- YeOldTimer

A.

Scandella to the blues for a 2nd and a 4th.

Was acquired for just a 4th not long ago.

8 weeks for band aid boeser. Good thing we kept him. He never gets hurt. Now that we have toffoli sign him and trade boeser for a good dman. Essentially the same player TT is just older but 27 is fine

The stupidity is thick in here today.

Benning interview = pretty much answers every question and speculation that's been going on in here all day.

The Winnipeg Jets have acquired defenceman Dylan DeMelo from the Ottawa Senators for a 2020 third-round pick.

DeMelo has 10 assists and no goals. Stetcher 3 goals 7 assists. Time to flip him while people are throwing around dumb picks for D

900k vs 2.3 though.

Where did it say BB out for 8 weeks? I just saw 3 weeks they will revisit?

That is a bummer though!

JB interview this morning

Retain some money if need be. That, plus the prorated salary, wouldn't hold many teams back. Or Jordie Benn, though he could be more useful in the playoffs.

Id say cap space isn't really an issue in Winnipeg

Not at all, but I dont think they are done either. WPG in a similar situation as VAN now imo

I've always wanted to see rafferty in the big leagues. I'd be happy seeing one of benn/stecher/fantenburg gone and him promoted.

Realistically - I'd say those 3 guys (esp. Benn) would be the most likely expendable piece. BUT inserting Rafferty into the lineup during the playoff race is just as risky and probably unlikely.

JB said "doubt we're trading anymore picks and we probably won't be able to get any back until before the draft."

I don't think any of those three fetch a 3rd salary retention or not...

Who said anything about a 3rd? I'd take a late pick for any of the 3.

I'll leave it up to you guys, I have business to take care of today.

Then can you try trading Benn for a 3rd please Jim

good luck

Which probably was the plan until they found out they had to shut down Boeser for the year. Most likely the trade all hinged on that. At this point with injuries to Leivo, Ferland wasn't a huge deal. But replacing Boeser was a priority if they wanna stay in the race.
- LordHumungous

Amazing that the direction of this season (after all that's happened) has come down to this moment and question of go for playoffs or not because of an injury to a star forward.

If I was GM, shutting down Boeser would have been my excuse to sell instead of buy. Looks like its a sellers market so could have come out with a bunch of additional picks.

But, that's easy for me to say playing fantasy GM. The pressure to win now must be enormous.

Tanev will be gone for Rafferty. Cap casuality

- noisewater

Really? Do Scandella, Demelo, Greene and Dillon scream quality to you? Cus 3 of them fetched a 2nd + and the other got a 3rd!!!

Who said anything about a 3rd? I'd take a late pick for any of the 3.
- Codes1087

Maybe not you... Others were comparing our moveable d-men to the return DeMelo got...
