Seems weird to brag about being a champion when he chose to bail on the team. I won't take away from his contributions prior but he's the one who made the decision to quit on his coaches and teammates. edit: has anyone seen the IG post? I can't find anything where he says he's retiring, as a champion or otherwise.

It speaks to the culture this organization has established since taking over back in 2013. I love it. And also, Bighill should probably get season tickets for the Jets:

Awesome win last night. Honouring the Grey Cup Champs with a hard fought victory over a division rival is always good. This team has been playing some damn good hockey the last five or so weeks.

What a bizarre deflection. And spare me the lecture, man. I said trading away assets for a pending UFA is a lousy idea and rather than just take that at face value, you made a snide remark. Hamonic is a mid-tier defenseman. That's not a slight at all. He's a solid, physical shutdown blue liner who can eat up 20-odd minutes a night, chipping in offense on occasion. You misinterpreting - seemingly deliberately - that opinion is on you, fuelled by what seems like an apparent inability to comprehend anything that's been posted in this thread recently, either by myself or others. Saying he'd be a good free agent acquisition doesn't change the opinion of his quality; teams need depth and he would undoubtedly add to it. I don't get your objection to that opinion but I'm hardly shocked considering how poorly you've handled yourself since your initial snide response. I feel like you're exhibiting some sort of weird homer bias because he's a local guy, overvaluing his quality and what he brings to the table. Are you related to Hamonic or something? You seem to be taking this way too personally. One player does not a team make and looking at the Jets so far this season demonstrates just that. And you speaking in absolutes only weakens whatever peculiar argument it is you're trying to make. Cheveldayoff not making a move such as what you've suggested absolutely does not mean the Jets have written off the 2019-20 season. That's gotta be the dumbest thing I've read today. And then you double down on the dumb and claim most who watch hockey agree with your views. Get a grip. It is astonishing how a differing opinion on Travis Hamonic elicited such a weird, childish, and defensive response. More like what universe... It's abundantly clear who's suffering from flawed logic - if you can even call it logic.

In case anyone forgot:

"Wow - you're on a roll this week." was nothing more than a petty and inflammatory response to what was a pretty harmless statement: the Jets giving up assets to acquire a pending UFA defenseman is a lousy idea. There was nothing malicious about that statement but you chose to reply in your usual snide, antagonistic way. But I'm the one itching for a fight...? "Haha, okay." And now you're making more assumptions and misusing words. If anything, the one who's projecting is the one who continually refuses to articulate himself, instead choosing to make needless, immature statements in what seems like nothing more than a lame attempt to derail a thread. Nobody's written off the season. Maybe try a different, more rational approach next time, such as actually expanding on your views and explaining your opinion. You know, actually having a productive discussion. You seem to think Hamonic would 100% be a difference maker on the Jets, enough to advocate giving away assets to get him despite his being a pending UFA. However, you refuse to address why you think that. Seems a bit strange to take such a hard stance without substantiating it in a meaningful way. FWIW, I'd take him on this team. He's a local guy, he's a RHD, and he can chew up minutes. I just don't think the Jets should trade for him and wait until July 1 to acquire him - that costs nothing but a new contract offer.

You may want to at least conduct an open source search before incorrectly using a word next time. Just sayin'. But hey, at least you've managed to explain how a pending UFA, mid-tier blue liner will make the Jets a contender, instead of getting defensive and playing the victim card. Oh, wait...

Nice to see you make dumb, thoughtless, presumptuous comments. Don't be obtuse. And how in the world is Hamonic going to put the Jets over the top to, as you so aptly put it, go on a championship run? Please expand on your views.

IIRC, he was put into concussion protocol this past season after getting tackled on a rushing play in week 4 vs. OTT. I don't think he missed any actual time, though.

Collaros threw for 193 yards in the WSF. And what "massively depleted" defense...? Take a look at the depth charts. Same secondary, mostly the same front 7. The one major difference is Law played in week 9 but not in the playoffs. https://d3ham790trbkqy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2016/06/Week9-Cgy.pdf https://d3ham790trbkqy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2016/06/WSF-Cgy.pdf

Ah, ever the class act you are taking underhanded swipes. And yes, Hamonic is without a doubt the missing piece this team needs to win a championship.

So, you give away assets to have him for less than a season just to see him hit the open market...? That's a lousy idea.

"The team plays harder when Nichols isn't in the game." (up to and including the 2019 season) "The team should move on from Nichols." (2020 season and onward) They're two separate statements, actually. Try again.

Man, the richness of this reply. You and a few others here have done basically nothing but **** on a QB who hasn't played since the summer, insinuating he's a bad teammate and that the Bombers will be better off without him. Sorry, but passing off one's opinion as fact does not make it so. I also don't understand what's accomplished by kicking someone when he's down, especially after his contributions to the success of this team - all from behind the anonymity of a keyboard, no less. That's about as childish as it gets, so I'd refrain from calling others immature if I were you. I also wouldn't lecture anyone here about "fandom" or objective discussion, BTW.

No, no. It isn't. You and others passing off your bullshit opinions as facts doesn't make anything true. I take it you weren't at last Tuesday's parade - which explains a lot as far as your lame comments go.

Blue and gold makes everything look better.

These shitposts are the kinds of nonsense you posted on TEP that resulted in you getting banned* from there. * running away with your tail between your legs

You stop that. Logic has no place here, @Booch!

"BeInG rIgHt NeVeR gEtS oLD!" This thread is a garbage dump.

You mean it takes a team to win a championship...?! Beyond. It's ******* pathetic reading some of the drivel here the last few days. Hopefully, you'll get "booted" from here well before then and won't have to deal with it.
