I've got a running theory that Derek Taylor's existence at TSN is to troll. (If it is, I'm not complaining!) Can't think of another plausible explanation. i just got told SSK's o-line was "drastically" better than ours. Now im no expert, but does that make sense in any way, shape or form?!

How's his height?

Evidently, MB one of the few provinces NOT giving Monday Nov.13 off as a Stat? It's marked as an off day here at my work regardless. Maybe I'll start looking at flights!

Nothing better supports this then the year we made the playoffs. We got a .920 season out of a career .907 guy. There shouldn't be any excuses anymore to not get that, or close to it, from Helle & Elliot/Mason/Bernier etc.

Do you pay for any of the content?

Cheap, 30 yrs old, LHD, good enough for 62 games on a playoff team. All for a 5th. Wish it was us....

According to whom? Dreger was certain VGK would take Enstrom. Then we made a deal.

Best case: trade involving Raanta, Grubauer or Pickard. Worst case: sign a FA from the not too great, but better than what we have group.

We have just under $20M to spend on Helle, Copp, maybe Tanev, maybe Chairot, maybe Trouba extension. Should be plenty of $$$ left.

It's not as if anyone's suggesting Enstrom is Bobby Orr here - - especially not now. ...having said that it was a mere 18 months ago Mike Babcock thought Toby was an elite defender. https://jetsnation.ca/2015/11/05/tobias-enstrom-gets-no-respect-around-here/

Manitoba alone is 7 times bigger than Scotland. With 1/5 of the population. Crazy. I roadtripped from Wpg to Fernie 2 summers ago, and had a great time. Stayed with buddy's cousin in Regina night #1, provincial park night #2, buddy's on-the-ranch job south of Pincher Creek night #3 and the rest in BC. Only disappointment was not having enough time to make it all the way out west.

You're definition of marginal at best is just vastly different than those employed by NHL teams, that's all.

Eh don't know about that. I'm not expecting an outright top 4 D in his prime - maybe he's 30 about to hit his downside, maybe he's 21 and just now about to be an NHL regular. I'd gamble with either scenario over the combo of Chairot, Stuart, Postma etc on their own. I'd trade Dano to Vegas for Schlemko for example, or Petan & 24 for Theodore. I don't see either being far-fetched. We know VGK has too many D. I'm with you re: next year being huge. Hope vs. expectation thing I guess. At some point the new core needs to experience winning, rather it be sooner than later.

Better not be. What a let down that would be. I just wouldn't get the logic. We're ripe with young FW's and only so many spots for them to fill. Nic Petan and Marko Dano wasting away on the 4th line, or not playing period, is just poor asset management. Don't let that repeat with more important pieces in Connor & Roslovic. My understanding of the Jets "plan" was always - When we're ready to compete, we'll spend, we'll be aggressive. Well Chevy, now is time.

Same 'ol agenda pushing, by some... The uproar would rightly be worse if they lost an asset to Vegas for nothing. They did not. They moved down in a draft that has limited star power, but decent depth in the middle of the first round. Given their history of off the board picks, they may even feel they can get their guy at 24. Or they feel 24 + Dano and/or Petan gets you a Shea Theodore-type guy. I don't get the hate here? We didn't lose anything. Now, if Chevy sits on his hands all weekend, then I'm joining the pitchfork brigade.

Per Friedman, Wpg trade tied to Columbus.... Who's got their LHD handy?

Can you imagine one of us on here trying to convince the board VGK would take Thorbs?! Unbelievable. Now I really can't wait to hear our side deal(s)!

Apparently Alexi Yashin is in Vegas hoping to become minority owner of VGK. Keeps getting better!

...or perhaps I give McPhee too much credit!!

I guess what I hope most ISN'T happening is GMGM schooling Chevy...

This still feels odd to me at face value. I can't be the only one seeing at least 3-5 better D than Toby who are unprotected and/or protected but rumoured to be traded to VGK, like Shea Theodore. ..almost makes you wonder, ahem, if Toby's value is a lot higher than many here think.

I like Alzner, mostly 'cuz I traded him to Wpg in NHL14 and it's paid off. Seriously though, how much of an upgrade is he on Enstrom? And if you're only D acquisition is the guy replacing Toby, that's trouble too. D wasn't near good enough or deep enough.
