I don't think it would be about Ladd, It's about is Enstrom worth what he's being paid? Is he a difference maker? Is he worth the almost 6 million a year he's making? The answer to all those is probably NO. Enstrom isn't that great, just cuz he's the best we have doesn't mean he's that good, it just means he's better than Stuart and Chiarot... He's not getting any younger either... you got an asset that lots of teams are looking for, a top 4 d man, who maybe doesn't fit in with the age group of your team moving forward... IMO, the only untouchables on the Jets main roster at this moment Helle,Trouba,Scheif,Wheeler,Ehlers,Copp (yeah gonna put Copp in there) The rest are pretty much fair game..... Enstrom, he's ok... but i don't think he's worth what he's being paid exactly.

Game 32 : Forest Rangers @ Jets
Goalie replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Roster Freeze is very soon. Lowry will be with the Moose until the New Year at the very least. I think he will be there for a while longer actually. They want him to play Center, He's not gonna Center the 4th line... That's Copps job and he's damn good at it.... So Lowry will be brought back up when, I'm calling it now, When Burmi is traded as part of a package with Ladd Buff or Enstrom. -
He's the highest paid player on the team, Enstrom that is, Rumors are that they have been shopping him. I think they will likely trade him. No way can Toby Enstrom be your highest paid player. He is so therefore he's being shopped. I bet he gets moved eventually either b4 the trade deadline or the off-season. The fact that he is left handed is sort of irrelevant...

Nobody is saying that, it's just the Vets are the ones taking these dumb penalties over and over and over again without consequences. Ladd hasn't been playing very good up until recently, why can't these guys be benched for a bit, not even all game but just to send a message to them also. It's all well and good to send a message to a guy like Lowry, send him down but what message does that actually send to the Vets? Like it or not, every one of these guys should be treated equally and they aren't. You can go on about last game and Scheif taking a dumb penalty, some would disagree that it was dumb and most would call it sticking up for a smaller team mate who got hit from behind, one could argue that the refs kind of screwed the Jets there a bit, you could say that at the very least, scheif and the st louis player each should have got 4 minutes....But really, that's what? 1 time Scheif did something kind of "stupid". Ladd,Buff and the Vets like Thorburn, Peluso, etc take 1 or 2 stupid penalties a game every game with no consequences.

Anticipating Big Changes or Small by Camp?
Goalie replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
Normally the team(s) who win the off-season don't do so well, It's still so early tho, i mean, so many variables here, Yeah the riders have cleaned house of a few of their defensive players but... they still have tons of issues, canadian content and qb being one. I'm not convinced the riders will be that much better in 2016... I think Edmonton probably goes down a bit but... by how much remains to be seen, Calgary will still be very good, It's not like losing Murphy will hurt them that much, they still have Huff and others. BC, in my opinion will be worse, not sure why but I feel Wallys best days are behind him... plus they don't even have an OC yet... Bombers? We will see what they do come free agency, In my opinion, if they can sign a receiver or 2 and another oline or 2, they might make some noise. I guess, Let's get back to this topic in say March April May or June for that matter. The Grey Cup was like what? 3 weeks ago? If the bombers can sign Harris (Andrew) and Bilukidi (Christo).... That makes them better and those are 2 guys that...basically, if they want them they will get them In My Opinion. The biggest signings the bombers can make are 2 guys who basically aren't even free agents. Harris is technically but deep down inside, we all know if he makes it to free agency, there is only 1 team he will sign with. -
Wow + Why You know what, as much as people seem to think that's too much, Kopitar is a very good player, he's the heart of that LA team, people might think Doughty is the face of the Kings but really, It's Kopitar, He has 2 cups, He's a big strong 2 way player.... Think Chicago and Toews and Kane... He's not as flashy as Kane but he's every bit as good as Toews, Toews gets lots of hype, but if Kopitar was from Winnipeg or Canadian for that matter, He would be the guy people would be talking about .He's a good player, well worth it in my opinion. Little long tho, deal starts at age 29 and last until 36 37 so by the time he's 35 36 37... yeah it might suck for the Kings but.... He's the face of the team and one of the better players in the league. It's just that he's not Canadian, Not American, is quiet, doesn't get in to trouble, but... what he does, plays a 2 way game and has won multiple stanley cups. That matters.

Peluso not on the ice this morning so looks like both Hali and Armia will draw in tonight. Thorburn on the PK? that helps how exactly? The guy sucks at clearing the zone. That won't help.
-
Probably Pouliot at the very least. They don't have a 2016 1st so... It would have to be something like Pouliot for sure then, probably a bottom 6 guy and either a 2nd round pick in 2016 or 1st in 2017.

I actually agree with TUP here. It takes way too long, they say screw the residential streets where everyone lives, that happens last... they should be out doing it the second it snows really, The fact that my front street is a gong show right now is ridiculous. Yeah i get that you have to do the major routes but... if you are having a hard time getting off your own street then it's pointless. My backlane is done tho, weird right considering most people here have garages in the front. Just makes no sense really. Oh and don't get me started on not clearing the windrows in the back either... yeah, 80 year old neighbours just love that for sure. No issue for a guy like me but... how do they expect some 70 year old to do that? It's ridiculous. They need to budget for this stuff, hell, over budget and what's left in the spring, use it elsewhere. We are a winter city, snow for 5 months or more here... you'd think they'd be a bit more on the ball. And yeah, I'm gonna say it, the people who do the streets, they do a pretty crappy job of it. They said this last snowfall was gonna cost the city 1 million bucks... theres the problem, these people they contract these things out 2 are getting overpaid and doing a garbage job of it. It's like the whole emterra thing all over... Awesome job they do eh? Recycling? LOL, half of it ends up on the street anyway... They really need to get their crap together, go back to what they were doing in the past cuz what they are doing now, it's not good enough. Rant over.

Get him some practice and nhl pay. Only jet really injured this year has been pavelec so that plays a role too.

Goalie replied to BigBlue's topic in Blue Bomber Discussion
2 early to say but I think they will surprise some people next season. 2016 season -
Stafford is worse than ehlers playing in the d zone.
-
Copp is a 4th liner playing with ppl who can't finish. Ehlers is on a line with Burmi and Thorbs. Put him back with scheif and he will put up points
-
You'll be surprised with what they won't get. I'm the one smoking weed? Lol.
-
We will see cuz I don't think he will be back here. I think you are over rating him a bit too. Returns punts? And fumbles them. Good tackler? Sure but that just means he's getting beat lots
-
That's not pushing the panic button? What a joke! how do you know he doesn't have control of the locker room, are you in there? Might be good if you think before you post.So how do you explain the fact they are not playing the same scheme as last year? It was brought up almost ad nauseum the past month. They should be progressing not regressing. They arent as defensive minded and take stupid penalties at costly times. It more than often shoots them in the foot. They have trouble sustaining leads. Maybe it is you that needs to do the thinking... I actually agree with you here. I think Maurice is part of the problem for sure but Maurice knows how to kiss the fans asses so he's not talked about. Over playing Veterans. Penalties. Thor and Peluso. The special teams. Lack of accountability to the vets who take those dumb penalties. Maurice is for some reason ignored in all this tho. Not sure why. He's a career .500 coach. He has huge flaws. Go talk to Carolina fans or leafs fans about Maurice. Talks a good talk but is slow to adjust in game and relies on vets way too much. I wouldn't fire him tho. I'd trade some of the vets first. If that didn't do it... yup I'd fire him. Maurice loves winnipeg tho so that's all people will remember here. Something that the common fan doesn't even know is Maurice had a huge say in who stayed or went this off season also. Maurice will be fired one day... probably sooner rather than later also. Probably won't be coaching here in 2 years regardless of length of contract

Safety with Waggoner or Sherman or draft pick starting would be good use of the ratio. 3 OL 2 DL 2 WR Or 3 OL 2 DL 1 WR Safety Sign Harris tho and man that opens up some interesting possibilities
-
Washington is ok but ok isn't good enough. He's the one dB along with Bucknor who I'd replace for sure. Ok but not good. Average really. He's an average player who I'm not sure would get picked up by another team when we don't sign him.
-
RyJo isn't even worth much right now. That's a massive overpayment. Little straight up or nothing really. 6 million to qualify a guy who has questionable work ethic and no heart. Do people ever think... why is cbj considering trading him? Probably cuz like Kane... he's not worth the hassle. Guy is totally not a true north type of player. Fantasy land is fun but in the real world.... we have zero chance at getting him. If we do... we won't but if we do....I'll stop posting in the jets forum until the draft. And when considering trades remember that Winnipeg is not exactly a destination of choice for most guys... most players have no trade clause or a list of teams he won't accept a trade 2... winnipeg is on that list 99 percent of the time. That's why Hamonic saying he pretty much wants to be trades here is a big deal...cuz nobody wants too. The reality of being back in the nhl sucks Jets won't build through trades. .. they will build through drafting and developing. Might as well just accept it.
-
Ya. Lee Stempniak is the reason we are last in the central.
-
Your rosters change on an almost daily basis.... with that being said I got 2 words for ya......... dream on.
-
With questionable work ethic. Unless little is going the other way.... doubtful. I'd take him but not sending Scheif Trouba Ehlers or any of our top prospects there way. Maybe Little plus Myers or Buff for Johansen and Werenski
-
Lol. No. You play your better players. LLW has done nothing recently but sure whatever.... Jets rule.
-
Washington probably won't be back
-
Armia and ..... Halischuk called up. I've lost faith in this organization if Halischuk plays
