Great I'm glad you loved it.

The 2017 season started when the last second of the 2016 season ticked off.

My point is, whether there is a strong bias towards Matthews or not, Laine is in the running. If he continues/increases his strong play and others tail off, some will be forced to award him the Calder. So no, at this stage it's not a done deal.

Ahh, he's in the running for sure.

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't like this move. If it was about money and Glenn wanted to much, fine. But if not, he would be a tremendous experienced vet who could help Nichols and Davis. You know what you get with him, I understand that. Not retaining him is a huge risk in not knowing how Dom Davis can actually perform in a real game. (and of course I hope he can do it well).

Don't get Kevin Glenn.

My hunch is that Myers is not at all being considered by Jets management as a needed trade. They will not put themselves in a place where they will be forced to unload him. Some other existing Jet will take that spot. He is a unique piece to the puzzle the Jets management seem to be trying to put together that would be hard, if not impossible, to replace. I just hope his health doesn't limit his career span.

The guy I see a bit vindicated on this is Claude Noel. Burmistrov's inability to communicate with coaches seems to be a trend.

I think you're bang on here. My unsolicited advice to him would be to simplify, KISS.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that. Hat tricks, multiple point games other?

Saw Maurice's pregame interview. When SO asked him that question I interpreted his answer as Helle was on a downswing, Hutch played really well in Vancouver and even though Helle played well in Chicago, Hutch deserves the chance to see if he can be the #1 guy. I think pomo might be getting his answer, i.e., no consistency from Hutch.

A 7-1 W thrashing would be nice.

Agree, production is key, but as long as he's getting the chances, eventually it will happen. Risk yes, but that's what this is about. We were/are patient with Ehlers. Lets be patient with him, it will pay off. And no I'm not saying he's an Ehlers but he's not another James Wright in my opinion as another poster suggested.

Not me, I'd keep Tanev. He's developing right in front of our eyes. I like this kid.

This mindset is one of the main reasons why politics, at any level, has a hard time attracting good people. Who wants to step into the ring when you're automatically seen as bad?

Actually this is exactly what he needs to say. This is what fans need to hear, it's not overly flowery and unrealistic. It's a matter of fact.

To ensure it's a good goal and nothing to challenge.

Trade him to Florida.

Note to both of you. They were both highly irritating regardless of political view.

Avalanche is exactly what the Doctor ordered. Jets win big on Sunday to start off the last week of work before Christmas on a high. Laine makes amends from the Edmonton game to erase that crappy memory. 6-3 W

I really like Ehlers but wouldn't say it's a massive overpayment if we could pry two quality players out of a team plus a high draft pick. Ultimately though it's in our best interests to keep Trouba as long as we can this year, let him flout his wares, and give him up to the highest bidder. The risk is he doesn't flout his wares but it's more his risk than ours if he is at least functional for us over the next two years.

Please no Durant. Nichols and Glenn for next season will do just fine. Unless Nichols is shown a guaranteed boat load of money (See Willy's previous contract), there's no way he jumps ship. Oh we need to extend Dressler's contract one more year with an option.

In a heartbeat. I would be ecstatic if this happened. Landeskog is a leader. What an addition to our team he would be. Make it happen. Yup would probably have to give up more, Connor would be a good pick but hate to say it but maybe even a guy like Ehlers would have to be offered up. Have to give something to get something.

We need Myers back in a big way. I don't like to single out a player too much but from what I've seen, Paul Postma is not a bonifide NHL defenseman. I see other teams taking advantage of that on purpose in their preparation against the Jets. Our defensive play isn't helping our Goaltenders, however Helle does a lot of good things but sometimes controlling his rebounds can be an adventure. And I have to agree with a few others here, stop with the constant juggling of lines. Let it settle, chemistry can take some time. And stay out of the box. It throws off the flow of our game (i.e., keeps our scorers off the ice) and our PK really really sucks. Not good combinations for success. We clean these areas up (take less penalties, solidify our defensive corps, stay as healthy as possible, improve our PK, stay with certain line combinations) we get back in the playoff hunt. Easy smeezy.

Really? Not cool.
