Jets acquired Tyler Toffoli from the Devils

[Malcsta]

I'm not very familiar with Toffoli, can someone explain why everyone is so hyped?

Decent top 6 forward. Has 26 goals in 61 games this season. Has cup experience with L.A. Lots of upside for the run.

Chevy has been lights out this year. Toffoli for a 2nd, 3rd and the Devils retain 50% salary...that is pure highway robbery.

The Monahan pick-up has been excellent.

Valardi, Iafallo and Kupari for PLD was another great piece of work.

Our team is much better than it was last year.

[Biff]

Connor - Scheifele - Vilardi
Ehlers - Monahan - Toffoli
Niederreiter - Lowry - Appleton
Barron - Namestnikov - Iafallo/Perfetti

Extra: Gustaffson, Kupari

Is this the D-man you're looking for?

Overall pretty solid trade deadline month or so for Chevy!! The line-up looks strong!

Seriously if he's not in contention for GM of the year, I'm completely lost as to what a good GM should be doing. I've shit on Chevy in the past, but this past year with all the signings (Scheif and Helle) and all the trades, he's done extremely well IMO.

Now it's up to Rick B to get these guys back playing that first half Jets hockey and we're locked for a deep Cup run.

^100% give Chevy GM of the year and keys to the City!

[bomberjet]

Vegas GM should also be up for GM of the year, due to the continual masterclass of LTIR use and having other teams retain salary. Tomas Hertl with 6 years of retained salary. Like wtf.

Jets add Defenseman Colin Miller from the Devils, in exchange for a 2026 4th round draft pick.

[The Jabroni]

Man, Chevy doing honourable trades today, with Toffoli and Miller. Unlike that other particular team in the desert, and I'm not talking about Arizona either.

Hated Toffoli over the years, especially when he brought in that OT goal in the bubble playoff series with Montreal in 2021 where we got swept. He's such a skilled player though, and I'm glad we picked him up.

I don't know much about Collin Miller, but a RHD depth d-man is what we need, and now we can swap him out between the bottom pairing d-men.

Chevy totally won the Trade Deadline today. None of that LTIR loop hole crap.

Three stright wins for the Jets, and an impressive win in NYC vs the Rangers.

At 44-19-5, the Jets are pretty much guaranteed to finish in the top 3 of the Division. If the Jets win the Conference, they will most likely play either the Kings or Las Vegas.

If the Jets win the Division, but fail to win the COnference, they will almost certainly play Nashville. With the way Nashville is playing lately, I would rather avoid this scenario.

If the Jets finish 2nd or 3rd in the Division, they will play either Dallas or Colorado. At any case, it's going to be a close race down to the wire.

[The Jabroni]

The win last night also ties us for the most overall wins in franchise history at 44 and counting.

The last time we did this was on this day in 2018, and we eventually finished the season with 52-20-10 that year.

We are currently at 44-19-5 with 14 games remaining in the season.

If we keep at it for the rest of the way, we have a very good chance to winning the division.

If the Jets win the Division, but fail to win the COnference, they will almost certainly play Nashville. With the way Nashville is playing lately, I would rather avoid this scenario.

Ideally, I would want to avoid them as well. Hard to tell right now since everything is so tight in the west.

[Biff]

My gut feeling is that Nashville is just on a heater right now and will cool as the playoffs arrive.

Colorado and Dallas have been even and consistent all year long and I would want to avoid either at all cost...Dallas more-so.

I would be fine playing Nashville, LA or Vegas (I don't feel Vegas is the same as previous years and would love to eliminate them).

The 2nd and 3rd place finishers will likely have a long, punishing series...a Stanley Cup favorite will be eliminated here.

[BlackDog204]

Looks like whoever the Jets play in the first round, will easily sent Winnipeg to the golf course with the way they have been playing for the past 2 weeks.

This is perhaps the most epic collapse of any Jets hockey team in their history, even worse than 2018-19.

[BlackDog204]

Stick a fork in them. The jets are done.

3-2 loss vs a lowly Ottawa team. 6 losses in a row.

We're just lucky Colorado beat Nashville, or Winnipeg could conceivably fall to 4th by season's end.

[WinCitySparky]

Right on time!

We're down, but we're definitely not out.

Such frustrating times though. Absolutely no excuse on how we are playing right now.

Absolute garbage plays with a non-existent special teams, and Hellebuyck, on his 500th game, would rather forget this game, because the whole team in front of him left him hung out to dry.

Absolutely frustrating right now.

[BlackDog204]

The Jets are done. This has happened too much in the past few seasons. Since 2018-19, it seems the Jets are competitive up until February or March, then fall flat. It happened in 2019,2021,2022,and 2023.

The Jets got lucky, and beat the Oilers in 2021. Aside from that, they fell flat on their faces. They have zero chance of upsetting Dallas or Colorado.
