Agree with all your points unfortunately he will be a UFA and will probably ask for a contract that will be to rich for the Jets

Don't think they'll make the playoffs either, they are not ready and management knows this, they will go young again next year and let the younger players get lots of experience. Bringing back Ladd would be a mistake , both Perrault and Stafford will be gone by the trade deadline, Pavelec will walk, Thorburn will be a 4th liner, also don't think they make a trade for Hamonic to many red flags with health. Morrissey has his chance to make the team from the get go.

Trouba at the moment will get no more than Reilly, if his ask is crazy high he will be traded or they might try to offer a bridge deal and revisit the contract in a couple of years.

Maybe gets a chance at the returner's job as well

You'll never get Reilly out of Toronto for Trouba straight up as Leaf fans would revolt , they think that Reilly is a better d-man at this time.

meant pro sometimes i don't read what i'm typing

Very surprised that he signed thought he might go back for another year at Michigan but happy he turned poor, also he might start on the 2nd line but more probably will start on the 3rd line, don't worry about Thorburn, if his is on the team he will be on the 4th line as we gather more talent he gets pushed further down the pecking order, eventually i see Connor playing with Matty P and Little.

Who ever gets Mathews as the first pick will definitely be getting calls from AZ they out of all the bottom teams need him for both on ice and off ice potential.

Watched him play for the Spitfire's this year and is a good defencman but the write up is bang on he needs more quickness in his game, he starts and stops need to improve but definitely has potential.

100 % right they really need that cornerstone superstar, we would get a king's ransom for Mathews if we were lucky enough to win the lottery, really hard call if the Jets would consider a trade or keep what could end up being an elite player.

No doubt Pavelec is gone after next season maybe before if they can give him away for a pick, Stafford will probably be a deadline trade. Maybe a cap casualty would improve our 4th line or maybe help 3rd pairing d. Currently at 43 contracts so we have some wiggle room.

The salary cap is going to be very interesting as some teams close to the cap may have to discard a player that your talking about.

Strombo tries to hard to be cool, he's not, really don't watch the panels on either SN or TSN any more way to much Leafs talk, i get it Southern Ontario is the only market they care about and if you don't slurp the Maple Leaf kool-aid you'll find yourself working somewhere else. They better hope the Leafs make the playoff next year, don't think they will and ratings and revenue will continue to drop. Also get ready once the season is over for Stamkos watch 2016 and free agency where every top available player will be signing with the Leafs.

Can't fault the guys playing hard and wanting to win, remember that some guys are playing for spots next year some will be some will make the Moose a better team, this team will have ups and downs next year to ,probably lose more then they win, but the experience will be mostly positive and the younger player will get lots of ice so the following year when hopefully everything clicks for this team and the word tank is never heard of again.

As Herm Edwards would say "you play to win the game" , really had no chance to finish last or even close to last all we have is are we lucky enough to win the lottery. on the flip side with so many young players playing i don't want them in a losing environment., we may not get the best player in the draft but we still will draft a very good player who hopefully by the time he is ready to join the jets we have a winning team that make the playoffs year after year.

Long time since i felt so happy yet so very sad at the same time

The Jets may not be much improved next year, but the Moose will be better lots of good young prospects coming into the system.

mlb has become all about pitch counts

It's a long season as good as they may be they were not going to win 162

What will the posters on this site be like if we get off to a slow start, this team can't have any hiccups from the get go, they have to be competitive and win with this regime there are no more excuses left in the excuse jar.

I thought that Copp should have started the year with the Moose and i still do, ,but his play has steadily improved and with better line mates more responsibility, more confident, the goal he scored against the Wild was what a lot of people have been waiting to see kid has skill it has just taken a year for it to come out.

Hear that Lemieux is in town don't think he will get any time with the Jets this year though

Ramo is for sure a better goalie but it comes down to age and money for a backup Ramo is 29 and had a cap hit of close to 4 mil. Ortio is 24 and his cap hit was under 1 mil, if you pay Reimer big money to be your starter then you need a cheap option as your back up.

Hiller 34 and is UFA probably wont be back, actually all Calgary goalie's are UFA/RFA , i see Calgary going after James Reimer as there starter next year, resign Ortio as his backup.
