I recall conversations about Guenzel. It made no sense to trade a top 6 forward to gain one. Jets needed to ADD one.Ehlers went from immovable for Jake Guentzel to slightly used?
Interesting.
Ehlers > Guentzel was the talk of the time...
I would still want to acquire Ehlers as a Penguins fan.

Some of what you got for Guentzel?View attachment 861464
Not really being used as a top six forward.
Guentzel would've been a huge addition for the Jets. Oh well.
What would you want from PIT for him now?

I think you would need to add .Sure. Canes 1st if we get it or a 2nd and Koivunen seems fair.
Ehlers + Connor + Iafallo + Pionk for Marner + Nylander + Robertson + Liljgren
Let’s go! Lol
I think you would need to add .
Connor is flawed but he is a sure thing 30+ goals per year guy. .91 ppg in his career.
Kyle Conner would be amazing on the Avs.
Gotta just hope Lambert is a hit and we can pull a Dallas with the young guys pushing down the vetsThe Jets aren't going to win with Scheifele as a 1C unless the 2C is basically a low-end 1C and can handle some defensive responsibility. Lowry can't do it all himself and I don't see Perfetti ever hitting those kind of expectations. If they could flip Scheifele for a ROR type that'd go a long way, or find another way to get a guy like that. But its far easier said than done.
The defence also needs work. Morrissey is a passable #1 in the playoffs sure, but every other d-man is playing at least 1 spot higher in the depth chart than they should be. They need a Parayko or Trouba (lol) type.
As others have said, the Jets kinda made their bed with this core
Is Lambert projecting to be an NHLer let alone better than Perfetti? Genuinely asking not tryna be snarkyGotta just hope Lambert is a hit and we can pull a Dallas with the young guys pushing down the vets
Yeah he was nearly PPG playing 1c in the AHL this year, and he's got pretty elite skating and puckhandling. Hoping he can be a top 6 C at the NHL level in the next year or twoIs Lambert projecting to be an NHLer let alone better than Perfetti? Genuinely asking not tryna be snarky
I can't speak for Lambert except that he had a fantastic season on the AHL Moose. Perfetti in his first full season just missed his 20 goal schedule A bonus because Bowness sat him for multiple games. 1 G short. Perfetti is going to be a solid 2nd line winger if he can stay healthy. There's hope that Lambert has more to offer.Is Lambert projecting to be an NHLer let alone better than Perfetti?

Obviously Kyle Connor and Ehlers would have the most value in a trade. As a fan, don't you think trading both would lead to a rebuild for several years?Jets getting embarrassed in the playoffs AGAIN. No way Chevy can stick with this group, right? (sadly I do believe he will still be the GM after assembling a team of wet paper)
Curious what teams would offer for any of the following:
Kyle Connor 2 more years at $7.1
Nikolai Ehlers - 1 more year at $6.0
Alex Iafallo - 1 year at $4.0
Neal Pionk - 1 year at $5.75
It depends if the Jets want to make the dreaded "hockey trade". Sabres have Rosen/Kulich/Savoie/Ostlund/Wahlberg in the system...they can afford to lose one for Iafollo, no?I would love Buffalo to finally correct not signing Iafallo back when he first came out of college. They need mid-line guys who play a solid 2-way game, he seems like a great fit for that. Cost would be the question - can't see much on the Sabres that doesn't open more holes for them, so they'd probably be offering up futures (a draft pick, say a 2nd?).
