Is he not their Captain? 2b9๐๐๐ Yes, and another article in the Hockey News said the same thing and added his constant bad play and penalties should be enough for the team to maybe even buy him out. I guess neither team won that trade. Peaky, I forgot to mention: Donโt forget, as of right now, itโs all Media and Fan fodder, itโs the Coaches and Management that make those decisions as to a playerโs Team fit. Media and Fans donโt make those decisions. Cheers, 2b9๐๐๐

I guess neither team won that trade. Trade does seem more likely than buyout but they'll probably keep him and try to get him to play a smarter game - if that's possible for him. Buyout would be so amazing though, considering he has stated in the past that he is only willing to play for the New York Rangers. I guess a buyout would mean that he'd just retire haha.
Will any other GM ever agree to take on one of Chevy's problems again?

Yeah, a buyout is unlikely. Trading him is more likely, when that happens, whom knows, heโs the Rangers Captain. And, I agree with you, Rangers will keep him and coach him to play better if possible, if it doesnโt happen, whom are they going to trade him to if he only wants to play in NYC, possible trade Team targets: The Islanders maybe the Devils. Cheers, 2b9๐๐๐

At the time the Jets traded Trouba, his partner was going to medical school in NYC but I'm guessing she's finished that by now. So possibly more open to other cities now?

Very good point on the possibility of being more open to other Cities. The question though is how long of Schooling did his girlfriend need? Typically speaking Medical School is 7 years, she was going to Medical School from what I understand based on specialization, that possibly could be even longer. Please donโt quote myself on longevity of Med School, itโs just what Iโve been told by other Doctors that I have. Cheers, 2b9๐๐๐

Speaking of D-Men, is Schmidt still here this upcoming season at: 6 million plus per year?

Possibly on other Cities, however, based on that Salary/rest of Contract, what other Teams would be willing to take him on? Cheers, 2b9๐๐๐

Despite the age difference, if buyout is what Chevy's thinking and I had to choose, I'd buy out Pionk. And find a way to keep Dillon!

I think there's probably a team out there that would have interest, but like I said, I don't think Rangers will move him...that's jmo.

I donโt think that heโs going anywhere soon, heโs the Team Captain. However, it will probably eventually turn into a Wheeler thing down the road/we all remember that. Cheers, 2b9๐๐๐

To all, from earlier today, see below from Illegal Curve:
There was nothing too earth shattering from Elliotte Friedman in the episode of 32 Thoughts (Jets talk at the 32:32 mark) which was released today as he and Jeff Marek turned their attention in the podcast to free agency which gets underway on July 1st. Marek introduced the topics by saying:
โDefenceman. Left-shot. Brenden Dillon. Winnipeg Jets. What do you hear? What do you know?โ
Friedman responded with:
โI just heard heโs going to free agency. I think there were some conversations between him and the Jets. You never rule anything out Jeff, but I donโt think thereโs going to be any re-signing with Winnipeg before the window opens, so I expect Dillon to hit the market.โ
He went on to say that โit appears to be a very good market for defencemenโ.
One additional note came via Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun who added this to the discussion via twitter:
โJust circling back on Brenden Dillon and his status ahead of July 1. Iโm told pending UFA held conversations with the #NHLJets recently, so the door isnโt closed, but that heโs expecting to go to the market and see whatโs out there. โCan always circle back.โ
So thatโs the latest on that front.
Guess we will see what transpires shortly speaking.
Cheers,
2b9๐๐๐
