  1. Personally I think they will sign Ladd and trade buff and I think despite Ladds slow start probably due to his off season surgery... it will be the right move. Ladd takes a lot of heat but... he's a guy who plays through injuries and rarely misses a game and the fact that he built a house here and likes it here probably plays a factor. Our lw depth isn't good. Our rhd depth is. Buff will be traded and Ladd will sign
  2. Oh and for the record, I don't really care to see any fantasy trades, I mean... how many times can you trade tyler myers who fits in with the actual youth of this team... Seems like it's pretty difficult to make trades this year.... so i'd rather avoid that..... I'd love to hear some discussion tho about what direction this team should be going in. Is it time to move on from the older core? Or do we pretend that 1 season making the playoffs in 5 or 6 years is good enough?
  3. Mathews, Chychrun and Tkachuk are all game changers. Maybe even the Finnish kid also But regardless, It's time to pick a direction. Do you sign Ladd and Buff and continue to be a team that isn't good enough to make the playoffs or do you go semi rebuild and move ladd and buff and maybe others (enstrom comes to mind as a guy who might get a nice return also) and build around the scheifs, ehlers,troubas, lowrys types of players... Our season is done, it's over. This is where you see what Chevy and Chipman for that matter are all about, do they care about winning or are they still just excited to have a team back? I dunno. Personally, I'm moving on from Ladd Buff and Some others (Enstrom) and with Ladd and Buff, if need be to get a better deal, I'm willing to retain 50 percent of their salary for this season.... Opens up the bidding wars to more than a few teams that way. I think it's time to blow it up a little bit, i really do cuz i feel the best this team will ever be as it's currently constructed is a playoff bubble team.. I'm ok with this team sucking if it means that in a couple years we aren't sucking... i'm ok with a top 3 pick this year and next year... That's fine with me... You look at Edmonton,BUffalo, Toronto..You know what direction they are going... they are re-building around the youth... what direction is the Jets going? The older core might be too old when the younger core finally catches up to them... I just don't want to be a team that keeps picking in that 10-14 spot... I want to be a team who either consistently makes the playoffs or... i want to be that team that builds through the draft.. I've always thought this was a draft and develop team... Is it tho? What direction are the Jets going in? Now is this time to see what that direction is... I'm not sure you can justify hanging out to buff and ladd and some of the older core members of the team when in the last 20 games you are the worst team in the league... It's not a coaching issue, it might be tho, but i don't think it's a head coaching issue, I think this team lacks direction tho... and it's about damn time the people in charge (chevy,chipman) decide which direction they want to go.
  4. Nothing. He works for the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy. Not really sure what that is to be honest. He's not an employee of the Jets exactly, He's an employee of their hockey academy... I believe it involves working with young kids in the city, i'm not sure tho.
  5. I'll take Austin Mathews Jacob Chychrun or Matthew Tkachuk instead
  6. Who cares. A 5 1 loss is the same as a 2 1 loss.
  7. How do you know when it's time to move on from the current core? When you score a combined 2 goals vs Edmonton and Calgary. Time to blow it up a bit 19 goals in last 11 road games. Worst team in the league the last 20 games is.... The Jets
  8. Ehlers is a rookie who has played well the last several games. Let him play is what you do. Seriously he's 19. He's not the problem and anyone who thinks he is ... they aren't paying attention
  9. Keep telling yourself that. In 10 road games we've scored 18 goals. Less than 2 per game. Goaltending isn't really the problem when you are scoring less than 2 goals a game on the road.
  10. Sheamus in the main event will do that
  11. As a goalie myself.... I will say that the size of goalie equipment has gotten out of control. I'm 6 foot 4. About 185 ish. Not skinny but not fat.... with my equipment on I look about 6 6 and 240 at least. It's crazy actually. You see a guy like lundquist off the ice or ryan miller... small guys. 160 170 pounds. On ice they look huge. Goalie equipment is 2 big now. I guess 6 2 miller or lundquist shouldn't look bigger than 6 6 rinne or 6 4 helle or whatever. They all look the same. They shouldn't.
  12. Yup. I had the same reaction when I read it on twitter
  13. That time comes when you have been together as a core for 5 6 seasons now and the best you do is make the playoffs once. Getting another 10 to 15 pick ain't gonna help. We need a top 5... top 3 pick. That will help more than signing Ladd or Buff to overpriced contracts. Jets will forever be a bubble team or playoff pretender with this core. They need a star and you get that by picking high. We need a top 3 pick badly. We need a star. A face of the franchise. Austin Mathews type.
  14. Bowman. 2 years. 505 000 total dollars b4 bonuses. That would make him the highest paid receiver in the league.
  15. Most who object don't even live here. Not that it matters but weird
  16. PS Okposo is a RW. Not exactly an area of need with wheeler ehlers stafford
  17. Ya but what about in reality. Okposo ain't signing here BTW. It's not gonna happen. Fantasy trades and signings are irrelevant.
  18. Most shots talbot stopped and he played well but 40 of them were from the perimeter with nobody in front of him. Ya he made some good saves but if the jets knew how to raise the puck off the ice.... they all go in really. Talbot was good but lots of pretty easy saves 2. No moral victories in my opinion. Bottom line. We are 3 points better than 30th overall.
  19. Trade both Ladd and Buff. Core needs to change and moving them gets you first rounders and prospects. This isn't a playoff team. Helle was fine. Can't be blamed for any of the goals. Maybe the first but deflected off Stuart. Can't blame him for 2 one timers from 10 15 feet away even closer. PP was 0 for again. Ehlers Wheeler Burmi had strong games. Ladd myers did not. Why keep buff. He's more valuable to another team right now than he is to us. Time for a mini rebuild. That means bye to buff Ladd maybe enstrom too. Gotta break up that thrashers core a bit
  20. Whatever happened to that D first team from last year. The D is the same. Just a gong show in their own zone most nights. Ladd isn't worth 3 million right now. Never mind 7 or whatever he wants.
  21. Talbot and d zone breakdowns by the Jets. Ladd. Myers. Both caught out of position on the 3rd goal.
  22. Trouba and Copp grew up together,Bogo was Troubas party buddy, hence why bogo was shipped out when nobody expected him to be. Copp and Troubas brother now live with Trouba here in Winnipeg. Yup. Jets hired Troubas brother TJ... he's part of the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy... Trust me, there is a reason the Jets drafted Copp and hired Troubas brother and shipped Bogo out of town. All i will say is Bogo was not a good influence.
  23. Helle starting. Same exact lines as last game.
  24. No. Comrie is fine but he's being overplayed because the backup now sucks
  25. Chase De Leo with the hatty. Petan with 3 assists. But moose lose 7 5. 6 5 with an empty netter
