Ground swell for the name and nostalgia factor made it almost impossible for him not to name his franchise Jets and looking back he made the right call.
I think we are all pretty sure that Winnipeg Jets was not Chipmans first choice, but we are getting off topic as for Little the more I look at this contract the more I like he is still relatively young and if healthy will play with some good line mates and put up some good numbers.
A winning and successful team sometime's sways the players feeling about where he plays, example Jets make playoffs and go far Trouba might decide that since he is going to get paid why not play for a team on the rise, plus Detroit is gonna suck for long time
Happy with what we have at Wil and Sam ratio dictates that he can't be the MLB at this point, don't know anything about his problems with teammates all I know is this team preaches a team aspect and he might not fit that.
If Little would have become a free agent he probably would have gotten the same term and more money, I know it's had to believe but some players actually like to play in front of big crowds in Canada in little old Winnipeg.
It's all a political game , Calgary trying to keep up with the Jones's in this case the Oilers and their state of the art castle and the politicians in Calgary not wanting to play ball. Longer this takes the more it will cost. Maybe some of our Calgary friends can give us a better perspective.
Got to watch all 3 games this weekend, we have some good prospects who a are a few years away, Poolman did finally play today like what I saw, Niku will play for the Jets someday, Harkins got better as the tourney went on. Berdin is a nice prospect in net but is a long way if ever, Spacek had glimpses but I don't know.
Climie was the only panel member to pick the Riders, I don't know what Gord Miller was talking about and its just as well Suitor was not doing the game, hearing a grown man cry is really sad.
Was it me or was Carter invisible in the 2nd half, I know he was on the field I could hear the trash talk from my house, basement is a good look for the Riders hope that the Ti Cats play them tough next week
