Are we shopping at the trade deadline?


Are we bulking up for a deep run? I like our team, chemistry is building.

Adding Monahan with such immediate results makes me wonder, though. We can be real cup contenders this year, is Chevy shopping for more experience and toughness?

I’m not usually reading up on other teams but this year I’m interested.

  1. Chevy would be an idiot not to try, and he will, but he also wont make any deals or overpay egregiously.

    He will be cautiously aggressive, jets need another D man like Tanev, hell maybe a couple D men, an upgrade on the bottom 6, and in a perfect world, one more top 6 Guy.

    Only way to make that happen would to be to part with one of our high end prospects and some draft picks, it would be sad, but trading your entire draft cupboard is worth it for one stanley cup, and with the way the team and Bucky are playing, this is the best year to do it.

  2. if we could snag artem zub from ottowa I think that would low key be an amazing get. would be like demelo 2.0

  3. He will look around and do his due diligence. I don’t think we’ll be getting a Tanev type acquisition as nice as that would be. It really seems to be a seller’s market and unlike other teams we can’t afford to give up draft picks and prospects willy-nilly.

    He did say Heinola might be an internal addition we could see.

    Sidenote; after seeing Chisholm in Minnesota… God that’s heartbreaking he is a great player we got nothing back for. He should have been in front of Schmidt in the lineup, nevermind Stanley.

  4. Right now, you might need more of a strong winger at this point. Perfetti and Ehlers have been in somewhat of a slump, and the two of them are admittedly, undersized, especially when the playoffs come around and it’s total grind at that point. I’m not saying to trade either of them, but you need to look at total performance at this point.

  5. Yes. We need a forward for the top 9, if perfetti doesn’t figure it out, it won’t end well in the playoffs. We need someone with size, and a consistent motor up there that can produce some points, that’s was missing. Adding there will in turn make the bottom 6 better, with people moving down. Adding a solid D wouldn’t hurt either, I fear the more the org sees Stanley play, the more they’ll think adding a D isn’t that important, especially with Heinola around too.

  6. If the jets don’t fix their game…they’re going to need to do more.

    Yes they are winners in 4 of the last five but they are not nearly as defensively dominant as they were, and that worries me that teams have figured out to play against them

  7. Wing and RHD I think for sure.

    Potentially more depth types down the middle and on D as well.  Might as well spend all the cap space and go for it.
