This is true and it handcuffed the Jets a bit as they probably knew that Ehlers was not ready to play in the NHL but also did not want to send him to Europe,and back to juniors would be a step back for him. Don't know if true but had heard that the Jets had petitioned the NHL for an exemption for Ehlers to play in the AHL but were shot down.
I think if the Jets had more depth and they could do it Ehlers would be playing in the AHL now. It's tough to make the NHL and be productive straight out of junior.
He is also a good guy to have in the room as his teammates really like him, as funny as it sound he is an asset for this team. If the Jets had more depth he would be a fourth liner as he is everything you want in a fourth line player
Rogers or MTS if you live in Manitoba for sure others reception is hit or miss outside of major cities. I also think that it's possible that one day Rogers will end up buying MTS as all the infrastructure is there and all ready have working relationship.
There's a guy on the Leafs that's being wasted at the moment and i think he would look good on the left wing. Thoughts on JVR as a winger for Burmi and Ehlers and what would it take to get him out of T.O.
1 point tonight for Wheeler tonight, don't get me wrong love the effort and hustle he is the true leader on this team but i just haven't notice him as much the past couple of weeks.
Agreed but still on the fence about Hamonic ,yes a veeerry good player but i don't want to give up on Myers yet. Again Burmi and Ehlers need someone on there wing , hope Wheeler isn't going into a bit of slide scoring wise but the effort is still there.
I can't see any way either player would accept a 3 year contract, no contact with buff's agent supposedly, doesn't bode well to resign. Ladd doesn't want a rebuild and wants to win now, that's not going to happen here this year.,
Agreed they would have to shed salary to sign Buff, think both he and Ladd will find out that the open market is not flush with cash for 30 something players looking for dollars and term
This will be the new norm as the new stadiums that are built or are being built are between 24-35k with temps up to 40k. Just EDM. and BC and MTL if they play in the big O will hold over 50k. I believe there is an effort to reconfigure Rogers Centre to baseball only.
Burmi and Ehlers need to find a new winger, Little has disappeared , Ladd is uninterested, Pardy should be in the minors or retire, Hutch not a starter, this is the team we have for the time being, i'd like to see some player moments but doubt it will happens.
