Winnipeg Jets signed Mason Shaw today to a 1 year two way contact. $775,000/$350,000. $425,000 guaranteed. moose lost a bunch of guys. Here’s a replacement along with JAD and prob Comrie.

These guys seriously smoking some good **** if they think Thomas was the best DL in the league last week. That’s when you know you can’t take it seriously

Looks like O’Shea runs that site.

Interesting note about Rutger. If the jets don’t trade him and he goes ufa in 2 years lol, jets will get the 45th overall pick in that draft as compensation so minimum he brings back is a 2nd rd pick. I also think guys leaving but really only Dillon and bro were here all year of the guys who left, but I think Chevy needs to keep our 1sts. Not saying 26th overall would get you a game changer but since we don’t sign UFAs (perception is reality, when guys get here tho, most do stay) you gotta keep the 1sts even if we finish 4th overall unless you got an agreement for an extension in place first. Can’t lose 1sts for guys like Monahan who if he wanted to, could have signed 3 months ago.

Sure but with 1 extra touchdown a game we are 3 and 1 and have 1 passing TD.

O averaging 18.5 points a game. D giving up just over 23 ish roughly per game. D has all the injuries. O only really 2 receivers out. the O is definitely a bigger problem.

He’s likely been bs ing since he was drafted tho. In what world do 14th overall picks get a guaranteed spot meanwhile you got a guy like https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/574821/max-namestnikov at developmental camp trying to make an impression and a couple other undrafted guys. I just thought max is most interesting since it’s Vlads brother.

McG is done. Dudes been full of **** since he was drafted.

I’d have personally taken Chevy out if he gave Montour 7.5 million or Stephenson what he got or 34 yr old Henrique. It’s time for the lamberts and chibrikovs to play.

You can’t force players to sign here. You’d think after 13 years people would realize this.

They gotta implement the youth. Lambert. Chib. Ville. Eventually salomonnson to replace pionk.

Ehlers and Iafallo for Cozens. Or for Savoie or and Benson plus Kulich and draft picks. for tuch straight up ? A winger? Makes no sense.

Collaros doesn’t get pressured all game. 8 of 12 55 yards. No td passes in 6 games now is it? It’s not just the centre.

Conspiracy theory. Walters and miller told buck he’s next head coach so he’s trying to get O’Shea fired. Ha. only way to explain the play calling

Which superstar have we drafted and not retained through their rfa years besides trouba? And copp? i guess Scheifele hellebuyck morrissey Lowry don’t count here? Connor? Ehlers even. Ehlers and Draisaitl currently in the same boat. 1 year remaining until UfA. Oilers have retained mcdavid draisaitl an overpaid nurse and rnh. The rest were from trades pretty much. Pretty similar to the jets really except Winnipeg doesn’t have a generational talent on its roster.

Yeah. I’m not sure that site is overly reliable cuz that’s a steal for buffalo.

Sure. Whatever. I guess should have given Monahan 6 million eventho in his presser with Columbus he said they just had a baby a month ago and wants to be closer to home where his parents could drive in from easier and Is also best friends with Gaudreau. Should have given Toffoli 6.5 million x 4 instead of 6 x 4 with San Jose. Or given 33 year old Dillon an extension and ran it back and lose in round 1 again. Then complain that guys like Rutger wants out or heinola or lambert and chibrikov not getting a chance

The other thing. Why is Oliviera only getting 10 carries a game. Yeah I get he wasn’t great against Calgary but still… yes our line but they should be better at run blocking, they are maulers. I’d consider going 6 OL 90 percent of the game and dunking and dinking like Matt nichols 20 times a game and running it 30 times plus. Brady. Smith. Augustine demski Kase and Johnson can all be involved. Buck to busy designing 3 yard passes to fullbacks tho. Play calling is crap

It’s not just O’Shea. That much is obvious. It’s Walters signing Alexander and Thomas and neufeld and Wilson and name a washed up vet. Sure Osh can give his opinion but Kyle don’t need to listen. Walters been quiet. We are 0 and 4. At what point does he speak up and force those tough decisions to be made. The gm brings in the players. It’s then up to the coaches to use them. Walters could have said no to Alexander Wilson Thomas etc but he didn’t. You don’t think they know Osh has a soft spot for vets? You don’t think they know roster management is an issue and has been? So why even give Osh the chance. Tells me they don’t think the vets in this case are the problem they let Damian Jackson go but currently we have 4 or 5 Jackson’s wasting roster spots. Lucky DJ wasn’t a vet, hmm although marines so suppose he was a vet but cfl vet? Nope. Who did they let go. Hardrick and rose? Bailey? 3 guys really from the veteran starter category? That’s not enough. Was gray a veteran? I suppose but not in the rose Bailey hardrick tier.

I think it’s reasonable to expect a small market to win a cup. I just think it’s hard to get the players here unless we are really really bad for a few years and get several top 5 picks. This team has had one top 5 pick and that was 2nd overall laine. We won the lottery and moved up from 9th or 7th to 2nd. He’s done a good job honestly. Compare us to Edmonton who got mcdavid rnh and several others with 1st overall picks. But then u look at buffalo who haven’t made the playoffs since the jets returned pretty much. In order to win the cup u need to make the playoffs first. Unfortunately when we do, we don’t seem to have that extra gear and they play a way that is the opposite of what got them there. It’s mental strength and I think our team lacks it. I’ll put it this way. If it was us vs Florida in the finals, we prob no show game 4.

Oliviera

It’s July 2. I never expect the jets to be active in free agency. They never are because free agency is a day where players can pick where they want to play. We aren’t Florida or Washington state with no taxes. We aren’t Nashville which is the home to country music. We aren’t a free agent destination and never will be. You can’t force guys to sign here and you certainly can’t overpay guys to come here. I don’t know why ppl think a new gm will all of a sudden make Winnipeg some free agent attraction.

Problem with trading Zach to a team, Zach sucks in the playoffs. His numbers are terrible. I’m sure every team knows this also.

Hopefully Zach just retires. It’s actually sad seeing him like this. Same with bighill and Alexander. Once great players who were impact players all declining rapidly at the exact same time. They aren’t the only ones either. Neufeld is done also. Kolo never great but he’s been awful. Jake Thomas getting reps like he’s prime Doug brown. It’s just really sad. I think there’s a point where Walters and Wade will have to step in and make the easy decisions that O’Shea couldn’t make. I wonder if he’s given an ultimatum like either a vet or 2 go or you go if he decides to go instead. I dunno. I feel O’Shea doesn’t believe the vets are the problem the first step in fixing any problem Is admitting there is a problem. Bombers aren’t there yet. They not at that point. They don’t think there are problems. Until they admit there is, nothing changes.

Yes they paid that young QB more money. That’s what it comes down to. Dru signed there because they offered him the most money
