M.O.A.B. Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 as much as I want Jets to acquire a top4 pairing Dman I dont want them to trade Perfetti, Heinola and Samberg and any of the players currently on the active squad. rebusrankin, JCon and captaincanuck12 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue4ever Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 There is a decent sized part of me that would love to see the Jets stand pat, see the Leafs load up, the Oilers and Habs bring in pieces, and then watch the Jets get to the final 4 just to shut up all the talking media heads and advanced stats geeks who keep telling us how flawed a team they are whose win-loss record means nothing.

TrueBlue4ever Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 And there is a trade to announce: And possibly the biggest “name” moves of the day was not a trade but a waiver pick up. So are the Stars loading up for a playoff run or finding a replacement for Jamie Oleksiak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I'm sure every non leaf trade ends with the commentator thinking and here's what it means for the Leafs. 1 minute ago, HardCoreBlue said: Also I'm sure every non leaf trade ends with the commentator thinking 'And here's what it means for the Leafs'. blue_gold_84 and JCon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 fLames finally rid themselves of the mess that is Sam Bennett. Off to FLA for 2nd round pick and a prospect.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue4ever Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 10 minutes to go, very slow day. Calgary just sent Sam Bennett to Florida for a 2nd round pick and Eric Heineman (Florida’s 2nd round pick last year). If the Jets make a move I would think it is for Oleksaik, who the Leafs and Oilers would also like (at least their fans would). 6’7” and 255 lbs. What would be a bad/fair/good give up to make that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you trying to type Perfetti and got autocorrected? Time’s up (save for the late faxes into the NHL head office). Only 9 trades today. Have to think COVID quarantine and the looming Seattle expansion draft played big factors, although the early buyers’ demands were too much out of whack (Nashville wanting a first rounder, elite prospect and current player for Ekholm seems more and more ridiculous with every passing minute). rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrueBlue4ever Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Can hear TSN now, who have been begging the Jets to make a move all day - “Well, it’s a move but they still did not do enough” (and I say this not knowing who they got).

I should have trademarked that phrase. On cue Jeff O’Neill and Ray Ferraro speak up and should be paying me royalties. The Jets acquire Jordie Benn from the Canucks for a 6th round pick.

TrueBlue4ever Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Well, time to fire Maurice and Chevy. TSN just declared that the Jets “could have gone a long way” but just gave up on the season by not trading away a first and Heinola and Perfetti for a 10 game rental defenceman who will mess up their expansion draft plans as well. I would have been happy to see Oleksaik here, but I am betting he was either not really available as Dallas takes a run, or the price was ridiculously too high. Not that the cost matters to the talking heads at TSN who need filler. JCon, blue_gold_84, rebusrankin and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustamente Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 TSN /SN talking heads should be ashamed on how they pander to the Leafs but that's what the eyeballs in Southern Ontario want to hear and if they don't like what they say they will turn them off and those companies will lose revenue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueBlue4ever Posted April 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Biggest trade of the day so far: Detroit also gets a 1st and 2nd round pick in the deal. Nice work Stevie Y. blue_gold_84 and bustamente 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickem Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 The Benn move is a kind of a yawner....gave up practically nothing.....for not much.... Benn has experience and he's insurance in case someone goes down is what I see...Pretty much a nothing day on the trade front...Lot's of excitement on the Toranna Shill Network though, for their already anointed local Cup team JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
