Goalie Posted Friday at 03:29 PM Report Posted Friday at 03:29 PM Comes down to what a gm is willing to pay. Most rentals don’t work out.

And how many of those teams have made a big move? None of them. If you think no trade clauses and taxes don’t play a role you haven’t been paying attention. Edited Friday at 03:43 PM by Goalie

Christian was mostly with Dave Babych and a rotating 3rd player (mainly Luchowich, MacLean or DeBlois) while Arniel was with Smail/Boschman/Watters. Christian did get the only assist on Arniel's first ever NHL goal so they did have some brief spots together. Christian played with Dave Babych? On defense? That's not what I remember. I thought he played with Lukowich and DeBlois for sure. Hawerchuk and Maclean were inseparable, and I think Larry Hopkins was the third at that time, as the Jets stuck Hawerchuk with two pluggers lol, and yet Hawerchuk was that good that it didn't matter. I can't even imagine what he would have done with a Kurri or a Messier level guy on his line.

I was looking at Christian's last season with the Jets (82-83) & almost half of his points involved Babych somehow (meaning both guys a point on the play). He was putting up points with MacLean early that season but that didn't seem to last - DeBlois was the only guy he really kept scoring with all season. Hopkins was mostly in the minors that year (only 12 games with the Jets).
