I gotcha. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcV3HDtx31E

I said, pardon?!

My first thought, too. For the life of me, I can't figure out why Ott is a playoff team, but here we are. Phaneuf, Ryan and now Burrows. Has anyone confirmed Chevy is awake?! S-E-L-L. Sell. SELL! Seeeeelllllllllll!!!!

Neither will be screwed as both are very deserving of the award. How could it be a slam dunk for either side when they're neck and neck statistically?

I fully expect the Wild to be eliminated in the first round. It's just so Minnesota. ...like the Jets and not making the playoffs.

Please let this happen before Tuesday!

Being from SK is one thing. Heck, one of my best friends was born there. We never let him forget it ...but a Rider fan?! This is unacceptable. Go Team Canada

Not too mention the progress at True North Square. I still can't believe we have this to look forward to!!! Imagine warmish fall gamedays and HOPEFULLY spring playoff hockey pregamming!

Bob is from Regina!!! I know he's on of ours now, but that's funny.

Fresh take on Glover from College Hockey News. http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2017/02/22_team_of_the_week_minnesota.php

Didn't read the preceding comments closely enough, evidently!

Perhaps but I thought it was also about him playing with his brother this year down there? Maybe 1 season with your bro is enough and he'll be ready to chase that NHL dream.

For a player like Drew, expiring deal to boot, I don't think there's anything to debate here

Better player, sure? More valuable, not in my opinion. We're a playoff/contending team in 17/18 at the earliest, maybe even 18/19 - at which point 85 is 32 yrs old. My rationale for saying a player is better while being less valuable (to us) is based on where the organization is at currently and how are "core" is shaping up down the road. I like Matty P, really do. But frankly I don't think he's good enough to warrant a lock-downed roster spot for the duration of his deal. This is why I'd consider trade options, and also why I wouldn't mind seeing him go to Vegas. If neither comes to fruition, I'll hope and cheer like the rest of us that he bounces back next year and produces more. None of Petan, Copp, Dano or the AHL kids are better than Perreault today. Who cares about today? There's only a half dozen teams or so worse than us this year. I cared about "today" back in the fall when a playoff spot was still a coin flip not a 649 win. What value he provides may be great, but he certainly isn't a game changer like our other top end FWs. And while I agree that the Jets clearly are big fans of his game- 4 year contract and all - let's remember he was a FA acquisition. All the players I've been going on about were Jets draft picks or acquisitions via trade - for whatever that's worth.

Agree, completely. And I'm for it, even at an overpay. Personally, I'd rather spend time consumed with over analyzing a trade Chevy's made than go in to next year with Chairot, Postma, Stuart, Melchiori and that ilk of talent on the back end. Brian Strait was not an answer, not even close. That kind of approach doesn't work this offseason.

FWs with more current value to Jets than Perreault: - Scheifele - Laine - Ehlers - Little - Wheeler - Lowry - Petan? Copp? Connor? At best Perreault is our 6/7th most valuable FW. Some would flip him with Lowry I'm sure, but I think our roster needs the big bodied, checking 24 year old over a 30 yr old point producer with some injury history. If there was a deal out there for a D, Jets would have to seriously look at it. Maybe that's a 22/23 yr old who's being primed in the A, maybe it's a 25 yr old who's a 2nd/3rd pair guy working his way up. Something. Anything. Consider it. One of 1290's guests yesterday was talking about our "core" and players to build around. He correctly said, IMO, that player is Scheifele. Build everything you can around him. So, the players around that 23 yrs mark right now are the players we're after. Vets are great, too. That's why we have Wheeler, Buff and I'm sure Little once he re-signs. Our biggest problem is our D just isn't good enough, not a lack of experienced players. OBVIOUSLY jumping the gun big time, but breaking training camp next year I could see something like. Ehlers - Scheif - Laine Armia - Little - Wheeler Connor - Roslovic - Petan Copp - Lowry - Dano I think we have the pieces already in house to replace Perreault. And while I certainly don't know other team's rosters & depth players nearly as well as ours, I have to think some team out there has a D that is being underutilized & potentially be had for a Perrreault (or other) and/or picks, prospects.

Digging through an old album, found a pic from just before Our Bombers was launched. @17to85 which one are you, again?

Pffft I won't be pleased until we bring in an out of shape 34 yr old QB with no CFL experience.....'cuz, winning.

Kevin Glenn's busy winning twitter right now.... re: Vince Young.

Ok, gotcha. No issues here.

I guess you missed the post directly above mine.

Why compare a player on ref incident to a player on player? They're not related. At all. You just can't contact a ref like that. Period. I'd hope he doesn't appeal the 10 games and the league upholds it or extends it.

Agreed. The first few years of failure under Noel were excused by a weak roster. The last 2 seasons of failure under Maurice are excused because the team is young. What's the excuse when & if this continues to next season?

I guess what I'm wondering - and yeah, yeah I get it's February - are we better now than we were at the end of last season? Does Nevis & Okpalaugo improve the pass rush enough and how do they fit Hall's scheme? Seems like we still need some help at LB. Defence in general got picked on a lot last year, often made to look better than they were because of TO's generated, IMO. Our offence seems to me to be a game-managing type unit over one that'll go toe-to-toe with the league's elite. Receivers are good, but not great. QB is good, but not great. LaPo is Lapo. We need another monster year from Harris, and hope he stays healthy. It is nice to have a cohesive team for a change, though. We should be able to come out of the gate strong given we'll have less new pieces to work in.
