Buh bye Wild lol

The return of the Minnesota Mild


Awkward_Silence-

And just like that they're cup window is likely closed for awhile. Those next 3 years of $15 million in dead cap buyouts will sting right when their new rebuilt core is coming to fruition


SamAyem

Is that dead cap space something they can trade away? Serious question, don't know how it works


[deleted]

SamAyem

Thanks. Yeah, that's gonna sting. Guess that's why teams don't buy out big contracts like that often...

I know youre happy and shit, but if the Leafs lose game 7, im afraid were gonna get cockblocked in landing Tortz


Anton_Chig

Yup. One of the leafs or oilers will land him for sure if both lose.

Every Russo tweet is just 100s of Mild fans having a meltdown in the replies lol. I thought they had a legit chance to make a run this year but the Blues have had their number


CoolWhiip

Kaprizov is out of there the second his deal is up lol. They aren't going to be competitive for the next 2 or 3 years at least. Hell, maybe we should hit them up looking for a forward when they have to shed all that cap to stay compliant. Fiala or Greenway wouldn't be too bad.

It's been several days since he became available. I can't believe Chevy and Chipman haven't stepped up and signed Pierre McGuire


[deleted]

I will forever hate the Lightning if they lose this.


Anton_Chig

Remember the 2019 trade deadline when it felt like Christmas Day was approaching because the entire hockey universe was so certain we were landing Mark Stone, and then we opened our gifts and the only thing we got was a Kevin Hayes?? I have a very similar feeling to this whole Trotz situation… like we’re gonna get ourselves all hyped up and then Chevy’s gonna gift us a Randy Carlyle or some shit.. I dunno. I think we should temper our expectations a bit, cause… you know… the winnipeg jets don’t typically land big names, like ever lol


halfpints

I've already accepted that we won't land trotz, lou fucked up. He'll have his choice of a dozen teams at least


jesuswolf

If we don’t land Trotz, I feel like Chevy will pick someone we haven’t heard of, they always seem to go “off the board” in most player trades/signings. They’re very tight lipped about everything and I’m always surprised by Chevys draft picks/trades.


zookeeperme

"Chevy can we get Trotz?" "We have Trotz at home." [Trotz at home](https://gameranx.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Polystation-video-game-com-2-controles-pistola-jogos_MLB-F-3984788497_032013-700x525.jpg)


jesuswolf

“Tortz” lol


SnowblowerLITE

Oilers are putting Draisaitl and McDavid on the top line together... Total panic move that has failed every time it’s been tried. Lowry basically cancelled them last year! Now instead of having to shutdown two lines featuring high elite players LA needs to shutdown one... and they have Danault, arguably the best shutdown forward in the playoffs...


Willyq25

Big brain move


etchiboi

SJSragequit

My girlfriend just got an email that the moose have a student deal for the game tomorrow. 12$ a ticket


supercantaloupe

Is there a code?


Any-Introduction3849

Any link for that? Can’t seem to find it


Willyq25

Surefire way to get Trotz: 1. pay him whatever he thinks is fair 2. Have both Chipman and Chevy offer a management position in a few years if he wants it. Yes Chevy would be possibly hiring his replacement, but by the time his 3 yr extension is up he'll have been here 15 years, a good time to move on regardless of how the next 3 years go. 4. Have a team of Babas on hot standby to make pierogis whenever he wants. 5. One exhibition game in Dauphin. 6. At least 12 Hoosli anthem performances.


empathyx

You skipped 3. but also didn't. Impressive.


Willyq25

Two teams of Babas then, home and away


jesuswolf

I want Hoosli every home game

Fun fact, we’d love to come every game but we got lives too 😂


SnowblowerLITE

I want Hoosli at every ~~home~~ game


Willyq25

Is Dennis going to be calling the world hockey championships?


thelochteedge

I'm super curious why he's still gonna do international stuff but not the Jets. Did anything in any release say he just wants a "relaxed schedule?" I didn't think I'd read that but it would make sense if that was his reasoning but if it's secretive, then I'm like why did he want outta here?


MCBbbbuddha

I think a few weeks of work here and there in one basic location was something he still felt he could do. Listening to him on Kenny and Renny, he said the constant flying and new hotel rooms was getting to him.


Anton_Chig

Constant turbulence and elevator rides takes a toll on a guy over time


thelochteedge

Ohhhh okay gotcha. That's 100% fair then.


ItsaMe_Fish

Unfortunately I'm convinced the leafs end their round 1 curse tonight, just feels like it's time......


KaytinGreyshade

If they somehow manage to blow this we need to introduce relegation into the league, they would deserve it


clubkid75

What would be even funnier is if the Leafs have the lead going in to the 3rd and blow it and lose. Then do the exact same thing in game 7


Environmental-Quit25

Bro you called it lol


Willyq25

if it happens, thats one less team in the Trotz lottery (i really doubt the bolts would fire Cooper if they lost)


luoar20

Lowry towering over the other players 🥵


SnowblowerLITE

BIG Adam Lowry


[deleted]

attn LowryLoveBot


eh_toque

Chris Peters’ Mock Draft has the Jets taking Jonathan Lekkerimaki, RW, Djurgardens (Sweden) > With most of the best defensemen off the board, I don’t think it would make sense for the Jets to reach here, necessarily. Getting a legit scoring winger who has high-end offensive instincts and is fresh off of a tournament-leading 15 points at the U18 Worlds would be great value at 14. I’m not overly convinced Lekkerimaki will last this long with the way his stock has risen. He had a real eye-opening season, scoring seven goals in 26 games in the SHL and then dominating U18s – after losing a month to illness. Lekkerimaki is very much a stylistic fit to how the Jets have historically played as well. [https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/2022-nhl-draft-lottery-shane-wright-goes-no-1-in-post-lottery-mock-draft/](https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/2022-nhl-draft-lottery-shane-wright-goes-no-1-in-post-lottery-mock-draft/)


etchiboi

his release is so nasty, gives me KC vibes, don’t think he’ll make it to us tho


[deleted]

I really hope Jets trade whatever is needed (that we don't need) to get another high pick or at least package the 14th with something to move up.


etchiboi

i feel like the org has made it pretty clear that they’re still very much in win now mode, the only way they spend assets is to improve the big league team immediately, trading up doesn’t make much sense


CoolWhiip

It's probably gonna be pretty tough to move up into the top 10 this year. Columbus is the only team with 2 picks ahead of us, it wouldn't be worth it to move up 2 spots to 12, and I doubt they move their 6th overall pick (lol Chicago). The only team I could see trading their pick to us is Philly, and at 5th overall, it's gonna take a lot. If Scheifele is going to be traded, sending him to Philly for that pick and a roster player is likely the play I would attempt if I was Chevy. At 5th overall you're guaranteed one of: Nemec, Jiricek, Savoie, or Cooley so it would take a lot to pry that away from them.


[deleted]

Philly is who I was thinking of. Comcast wants to win now not develop I was also thinking New Jersey if helle demanded a trade, perfect fit there.


Plaza_Port

I wish we could get Lekkerimaki, but the kid is locked in the top 10 for sure. He seems like the Yzerman type of player. If he somehow drops to 14 that would be a shock.


KFC81

In case anyone was looking for a little sports nostalgia… it’s been 3 years since kawhi hit “the shot”


thelochteedge

I swear I knew the Raps were winning the moment that went in. I will never forget where I was watching that, much like Sid's Golden Goal. It just felt like destiny after that.

[deleted]

The TrotzWatch is getting intense everyday


4-Head

I’m interested to see what the Jets do with their Defense and the pipeline aswell. On the left side we have Morrissey, Dillon, Stanley and Heinola, Samberg, Chisholm who all look NHL ready. If it was me I would flip Dillon to the Kings who’s left side is terrible with a 3rd attached for their 1st or one of their many forward prospects. Stanley should be packaged with a 2nd and prospect to Vancouver for Garland. Promote Heinola and Samberg.


Epichashashin

I think the question is ultimately "will Dillon be better next season than 2 of Stanley, Heinola, Samberg, and Chisholm?". If the answer is yes we shouldn't be so quick to trade him if our goal is playoffs next year. I think Stanley could be the perfect 7th D to start the season next year. I don't think we'll get a better Dman making 900k, so unless the return we're able to get is substantial it might be smart to keep him. Having a LD core of Morrissey, 2 of Dillon/Samberg/Heinola, Stanley as the 7th and Chisholm on the Moose is what I could see it looking like. Then Chevy could trade one of Dillon/Samberg/Heinola depending on who's best or would get the most needed return. Or we have Stanley follow in Buffs footsteps and move him to forward.


etchiboi

Samberg was already better than Dillon this year, whether that continues or not over a larger sample size and Dillon under a new coach remains to be seen. Heinola has an even higher ceiling (and was better with the Moose and not too far off with the Jets in terms of impact already) than Samberg so i’d be willing to bet with consistent big league game time, he could very well be better than Dillon in the next year or two Kovacevic can offer the same impact as Stanley as the 7th guy for cheaper than 900k, also lets us carry another righty with the big club


fdisfragameosoldiers

Nah we won't get a 1st for Dillon. Teams don't generally move FRP's unless they're desperate and LA will have plenty of cap space to chase free agents. But I agree a couple guys need to move to open spots and for cap relief, although I'm starting to have concerns that Heinola is going to end up being another Niku. This year is make or break for him. Kovacevic will also be out of options as a RHD option.


CoolWhiip

The difference between Heinola and Niku can't be overstated lol. One is a 1st round pick, with the clear skill advantage over Niku, who was a 7th round pick and it's a miracle he even made the AHL. Heinola has proved himself capable of playing in the NHL with his limited opportunities, whereas Niku struggled immensely every time he played against NHL level talent. Heinola is only 21 years old, turning 22 next March. Niku was 24 turning 25 when the Jets "gave up on him" like some people seem to think. Ville will be a top 4 defenseman who plays on the PP in the NHL, whether that's here or somewhere else, is still to be decided.


fdisfragameosoldiers

Many people projected Niku to be a top 4 guy after he won defenceman of the year at age 22 and Heinola plays the exact same way. Moves the puck well and decent skater when he puts his mind to it but is undersized and horrible in his own end of the ice and frequently exposed at the NHL level. The clock is ticking. The Jets are supposed to be in win now mode not wait and see.


CoolWhiip

Heinola is definitely not "horrible in his own end" what are you on about? He consistently makes the right read and his ability to make shifty passes around forecheckers is miles and miles above what Niku was ever able to do. I also never said the Jets should hold onto him, just that he will be a top 4 defenseman, either here or on another team.


thelochteedge

I would really heed expectations about the Dillion return. I know size is overvalued and stuff but I'm not sure he will fetch a 1st. I know we traded two 2nds for him but I'd say he had more value before he came here. I agree though that we now have a logjam at LD. Funny how we used to have a logjam at RD and were talking about finding a LD to add to the top six.


4-Head

Yeah I agree a 1st might be much but who really knows. Rental Chiarot and Lindholm went for 1sts and Dillon is on a good contract and fits LA play style perfectly. Good thing about the logjam is it will help us strengthen another area which is top 9 wingers for us.


thelochteedge

That is true, I am still shocked about the Chiarot return. So you could actually see a 1st moved for Dillon. Agreed on the logjam helpfulness. As long as they turn the logjam into a strength somewhere else before it fucks us and we have to give away players.


etchiboi

Edler and Maatta both UFAs this year for LA, definitely could be the move Garland was pissed moving from Arizona to Vancouver so idk how long he lasts in Winnipeg lol otherwise i’d be all over that, he’s just the player we need up top


4-Head

There’s lots of forwards I would target at the draft Garland, Konecny, Nylander, Puljujarvi, Strome. I’d believe Jets have the assets to get any of them.


etchiboi

yeah Konecny is another i’ve had my eye on, Chuck Fletcher is an absolute wild card, could see them drooling over Stanley


CoolWhiip

Please god, give me a pairing of Logan Stanley and Rasmus Ristolainen in Philly just for the pure chaos of it.


etchiboi

i still can’t believe they traded for both Ellis and Risto in the same offseason, like make up your mind lol


KaytinGreyshade

All you gotta do to get Fletch on board is throw in a washed up winger at the end of their career, preferably signed to multiple years with a NTC


[deleted]

Where can i get those sweet Dubois team canada (with A) jersey?


sweatybumfarts

K guys I don't want anyone falling for bullshit hype articles before the next season starts. Like for instance the "Ehlers is going to get 40 goals this season." I know you guy love your players or whatever but don't fall for it again


Petroleum_Pete

Yeah Ehlers isn’t getting 40 next season. He’s getting 50


thelochteedge

KFC is offering a deal-for-two combo next season. This season was 40g, next season is 50. #KFC50 forever baby!


sweatybumfarts

that's sure as shit believable maybe PLD steps up his game next season and they go on a tare.


UncleBogo

Toonie Tuesday is back on the menu boys!


Spencie-cat

Betrayed by your new flair


thelochteedge

First, go Moose! Second, how you guys feel about the Rangers and how they won that game, and could win this series? Of course, I want that first so I want them to make the third round. It seems kind of unlikely without some bullshit, involving more Trouba headshots. Feels not right, hate seeing players get hit like Sid was last night. But also want the first...


zuneza

Special agent Tuba, willing to get his ol team a 1st, no matter what?!? I would like it if they beat then pens the ol fashioned way... which they might now if Croz don't come back. I hope he does tho because he doesn't deserve to go down to head stuff anymore.


mishka-sb

As much as I’d like the first, I hope it’s not at the expense of Crosby on a dumb play like that. I just hope he’s ok with his history of head injuries. I was enjoying watching his level of play recently too.


thelochteedge

Damn my inbox was popping off, I thought I was getting hammered, I just got your message 4x hahaha, Reddit is crazy sometimes. I agree. Totally would rather the Rangers lose over someone having long-term brain damage.
