Goalie

Perhaps off ice issues play a role but... Doubt it. He's not worth 6 7 million a year tho but 5 5.5 probably long term is fair.

I think most people don't like him cuz he comes across as being an arrogant smug whining little female dog.... He's doing his job. I don't mind him but I find him annoying but that doesn't mean that he's doing a bad job. Jets probably aren't here if not for Bettman. Ppl can be bitter and blame him for the original jets leaving but it wasn't his fault that NOBODY wanted to build a new arena or own the team here at that time

Saw a link to it on twitter just 5 minutes ago. Ya. That's why I said I'm not sure if I buy it.... seems and reads like big time speculation

Some...what I'm going to call speculation, is that if the jets sign buff, trouba is gone via trade. Just saying but if that's true... I love buff but.... I'm signing the 21 year old instead and moving buff This according to Friedman. Not sure I buy it tho.

In an Era where all pro sports have had record revenue.... but bettman really isn't that bad in the big picture. Must be doing his job if his bosses (owners including Chipman ) gave him a new extension

Minus 10 is fine but when you spend 2 weeks or so in plus 30... that's a 40 degree difference.

Pretty much.

Man. Plus 30 to minus 10 hurts but whatever lol. Never watched the game bug good for Scott. As for the suggestion to make the winning team or conference... give them 4 of 7 games in the final. Not gonna happen ever. Would be ridiculous if an 8th place eastern team had home advantage over a 1st place western team. Owners will never allow it. All star game means nothing... always has and always will. Guys aren't going to risk injuries mid season. All star hockey Is not even hockey really. It's a bunch of guys trying to not get hurt. Rightfully so. Imagine buff getting hurt... would be devestating in a game that means nothing and almost seems rigged. It is what it is. It's a showcase of basically rich guys trying to not get hurt. Couldn't imagine a player being injured in a game like this. No contact. No penalties. Not even much effort in reality. Only guys who try a little are the goalies. The rest are just there cuz they have to be. Honestly I think if they stopped doing the all star game and just have the teams 5 or 6 days off instead.... nobody would care that there was no all star game

Time for bed. Gotta go to the airport early tomorrow to catch a flight with my lady for 2 weeks in the sun. But. Petan was late for practice with Kostalek and was healthy scratched for a game because of it. Also. Probably don't want Petan or De Leo called up to play 4th line minutes. I'm guessing copp plays on the third line and Cormier and Lipon will be on the 4th. Honestly I'm not even convinced Cormier will dress tho. Ladd little wheeler Armia Perreault Ehlers Then mix and match the rest

I think the question should be would he have been drafted by the jets if trouba wasn't ??

Eklund rumor again. Goes against everything everyone else with actual sources have said. Isles want a young D man back not a guy making 6 million. PS: Ducky... what's the point. I'm done debating with you.

Why Cormier is beyond me. Just awful from the moose games I've been 2

The Hamonic ship has probably sailed far away from Winnipeg by now. I don't really get it, you don't think Myers is that great but you'd move him for Hamonic? who you think is?? It makes no sense really. Hamonic is a good defensive d man, yeah that would be nice to have, for sure, no doubt but... you are really over valuing Hamonic and under valuing Myers big time. Your last sentence is irrelevant and makes no sense really, If Doughty was available or Keith or Seabrook or Erik Karlsson or really name a bunch of d men better than Buff cuz theres a ton. I'll say this much, If both Myers and Hamonic were available at the deadline last year, Yup, Myers would be the bigger prize. That's just reality. Hamonic is good but he's not that good, I have a feeling some just think he's good because he's from St Malo and wants to be traded here. I like the guy, he's a good guy on and off the ice, he's not elite and honestly, i would almost think that if Myers for Hamonic did happen that the Isles would be the ones adding cuz i think if you were Shopping Myers around, some other team would offer you more than just Hamonic. Man, i hope if Hamonic does get traded here that people don't immediately start crapping on him because your expectations for Hamonic are way to high. He is what he is. He's a good defensive D man, we don't really have a guy like that on our team but reality is, no teams have a RHD side of Buff, Myers,Trouba either. RHD is not our issue, LHD is. If Hamonic was an LHD man, trade for him now. But he's not, right now, i guess what i'd call him would be a luxury not really a necessity I like Hamonic and i'd be happy if he did end up here but... How much better does Hamonic make the Jets? Reality is not much better. If at all.

I don't think it's as simple as yes or no. I think him being a friend of Troubas played a role in why he was drafted.

North Dakota is right below us

Take it for what it's worth

It played a role and if you don't think it did, That bridge in Lockport that you own... I mean, you own it right since you were looking to sell it??

Myers is better than Hamonic tho and isn't that the point here? Regardless of what anyone says, Myers is better than Hamonic. And he is progressing, I'm not sure how you can say he isn't, He's put up lots of points so far, he's pretty good defensively, better than Buff in the D zone.

Holy hell, It's Official and it's insane

Trouba on Parise last night behind our net was the hit of the game for sure, Solid Clean hit, Parise got right up but that's what he does.

28 or so is when d men normally reach their ceiling. For example Buff is what he is.

2 many games left for me to care about minny vs Nashville.

Trouba wants a bigger role. I can't blame him. But when you sign his brother TJ to help out with the hockey academy... and you draft his best friend copp... you are doing it for a reason. To add good influence in his life and to make him happy.

You are really over valuing Hamonic here big time. He's good but he's not elite. Myers can be. With that said I'd do myers for Hamonic. I ain't adding tho. Lots over valuing Hamonic since it's come out he wants to be here. Prior to that.... he wasn't really talked about that much if at all.

Scheif will get long term. Trouba might also. Lowry will get nothing close to that money. Guy was sent to the moose for God's sake lol. Why are we adding to myers to get Hamonic? Who wants to be traded and his preferred destination is here.
