Hearing rumours that it's not all done yet, that the Jets got Myers in order to flip him to... Detroit.

Crazed, prepare to have your ridiculously stocked farm system raided.

OH NO, OH NO, OH NO, OH NO, OH NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jet's probably want Helm (Winn native and on a tear this year), and probably a good prospect and draft pick. DO NOT WANT RIGHT NOW!!!

Also rumor source?

 

[calder]

That was exactly me looking over at tweetdeck on my second monitor.

Still trying to process it. The Jets biggest hole was overall depth, especially in our bottom 6 forwards and on the wing with Kane hurt. The excess right handed Dmen was also a small problem in that it forced/allowed Maurice to move Buff to wing.

 

[MetatronM]

Arizona claimed Arcobello off of waivers. What an amazing journey around North America he's been making this season.

 

[Montresor]

I hate our fucking division.

Everyone is either getting stacked with young prospects or they're already beasts.

And then there's the Leafs, wallowing away in bullshit.

=( I'm sad. At least you are having fun playing real hockey.

He's been on 4 teams in one season... what's the record?

The rumour is just a couple of guys on twitter, can't tell if they know anything or were just guessing/assuming but they were retweeted by a couple of local blogs and a beat writer. It makes sense in that the Jets really didn't need a right shooting dman back at all, so why take Myers unless there is another part to this?

Also, when Jets fans think of Myers, they pretty much think of this.

 

[imBask]

if Buffalo loses the roulette, it'll be the greatest day on every board ever. The internet will explode

 

[fallout]

New job offer today AND a blockbuster trade involving the Jets. I am physically shaking right now.

 

[Kave_Man]

=( I'm sad. At least you are having fun playing real hockey.

I'm gonna get a try out with the Leafs!

I'm gonna help bring this tank to the top of the shitpile.

 

[calder]

Hah, my wife just texted me "Nooooooooo you still better wear that $170 shirt" referring to the Kane sweater she got me for my birthday.

When she hears about a trade you know it's a blockbuster.

No worries, we've hit rock bottom, its all uphill from here.*

[Red_Man]

Oiler fans must be losing their minds watching Buffalo have such an efficient and quick rebuild.

 

[ShaneB]

My goodness at that deal.

Oiler fans must be losing their minds watching Buffalo have such an efficient and quick rebuild.

it's fine, they'll tank and draft another european offensive forward, that'll work!

 

[CreeperBlocks]

The Leafs are climbing a shitrope. See the shit acts like a grease,the harder you hold on the faster you fall down.

And then you have shit all over your hands and you smell.

 

[Red_Man]

I can already imagine the kind of confrontations Gorges and Kane might have. No way they mix well together, doubtful Gionta takes to him either.

 

[Revenant]

Holy crap what a trade, pretty interesting for both teams

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Oh because all the good Canadian kids worked out so well, right?

 

[imBask]

Oh because all the good Canadian kids worked out so well, right?

well Hall did get 80 points last year, but whatever, remove the european part and my point stands

 

[Coldnoodle]

Godammit.

Kane would have been perfect for us

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Wow no way Canucks would've matched that offer. Great return for Winnipeg and Buffalo gets two roster players.

 

[gaming_noob]

You know HFboards is bad when even I am arguing with them about their fantasy trades.

They think Kessel can land Strome, Dal Colle AND Reinhart.

 

[Fei]

I'm just upset Buffalo never got a real look at Armia. He's been getting high praise in Rochester this year when healthy. Tremendous amount of growth from last year. Best of luck to him.

 

[Red_Man]

Wow no way Canucks would've matched that offer. Great return for Winnipeg and Buffalo gets two roster players.

Likewise for the Habs, to compete with that we would have had to offer up something like Eller / DLR, Scherbak, 1st, Beaulieu or something along those lines. No thank you.

 

[trifelife]

Fucking Buffalo

Fucking Winnipeg

Useless

 

[Coldnoodle]

I wonder who the Caps attention turns to now.

We really need a top 6 winger.

Spoiler

Fuck you McPhee.

What was Armia playing down in Rochester? Last I see is him listed as a C/RW. Still the same?

 

[Sanjuro]

BuffaloGAF going to make their comeback!

 

[Fei]

RW on Grigorenko's line all year. They apparently very had good chemistry together.

Don't get your hopes up for anything that feels substantial.

 

[Parch]

I hope Buffalo is good enough for the baby.

 

[calder]

Shit, major red flag for Jets fans - Button loves the trade.

TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button's Trade Assessment:

- the deal helps the Jets now and for the future

- Tyler Myers is an upgrade on Zach Bogosian. Drew Stafford is a serviceable third-liner to help the Jets make playoffs

- Brendan Lemieux is a lock to be a second line power forward and Joel Armia has a chance to be a scoring winger

- Kane has won the lottery – he's a fast, powerful goal scorer almost certain to be playing with generational centres McDavid or Eichel, both of whom are brilliant playmakers

- The Jets' prospects were ranked as the best among Canadian teams last month...this makes them No. 1 in the entire league

 

[Coldnoodle]

Don't get your hopes up for anything that feels substantial.

Okay.

 

[ShaneB]

Okay.

Or maybe something that might feel substantial, but really is confusing.

 

[BigJonsson]

Traded to Buffalo, ouch

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

RW on Grigorenko's line all year. They apparently very had good chemistry together.

Bummer. It's always nice when prospects can get chemistry going before coming to the NHL together. It gave Granlund/Zucker/Coyle boosts coming in around the same time over the last year or two.

- Kane has won the lottery – he's a fast, powerful goal scorer almost certain to be playing with generational centres McDavid or Eichel, both of whom are brilliant playmakers

This doesn't matter at all if I still can't get along with anybody.

- The Jets' prospects were ranked as the best among Canadian teams last month...this makes them No. 1 in the entire league

Undoubtedly. Armia and Lemieux are both fantastic prospects.

A lot of the analytics bloggers I follow on twitter like the trade for Buffalo ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

edit: Steve Burtch likes it for the Jets though, I think

YEAH!

Let's get JVR!

Time to go do some research.

 

[Yawnier]

Nice to see at least one big trade this season.

Hopefully this opens the floodgates over the next 2 1/2 weeks

 

[Red_Man]

Tokarski in net against Edmonton.

JVR for Bowey + 1st

 

[Acid08]

Wow at that return for the Jets. Pretty great.

 

[Yawnier]

Do we know which 1st rounder the sabres are to give up? Islanders or Blues?

 

[zroid]

Lupul out "at least a week"

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Cleary for Green.

Garrioch adds that Colin Greening - in the AHL on a one-way deal - could be a buyout option in the offseason, while defenceman Chris Phillip has told Murray he would like to stay.

 

[Red_Man]

Whichever one is the lowest I believe, I think that's what Dreger said.

I'm okay with this.

Even more than most trades, this is totally impossible to judge for a while. At least a year or two, how do you compare a trade for a guy who's hurt for the rest of the season going to a team that looks to be on the upswing in two years?

Comparing Bogo to Myers might be possible, but I'm not sure how useful it would be when there are so many other moving parts. I actually consider Bogo and Myers to be very similar - high first round picks that are entering their primes who might not be quite as good as their skills set (or size) and draft position would indicate. Merely OK contracts for both based on current performance, Bogo has some injury concerns but Myers has some gets-knocked-the-fuck-down-like-a-shrimp concerns... I'd call it a pick 'em.
