Screw right wingers. Jets need to buy a ref. No power plays? Whole team looked flat not just pav.a pens team minus Crosby and Malkin dominated us

Ottawa will probably overpay a receiver or 2

19-15 hutch

Not needed and carries a hefty contract. 4th liner at best. 2.5 million

Not needed and carries a hefty contract. 4th liner at best. 2.5 million

And the Kings have a rich owner too. This isn't about Chipman and Thompson. It's about a bad contract

Trading for a guy and him signing an extension and then sucking in training camp not winning a job is a bit different than what happened here. BANKS was cut cuz he didn't want to be a backup actually. Banks actually asked for a release did he not?

Kassian has been like Postma tho. Healthy scratched lots. Apparently coaches aren't a fan of Kassians in Vancouver. Vermette again not worth it for a rental. Dude apparently wants 5 million plus a year this off season. He won't get that here. Don't think the jets would give up what it would take to get him. Anyone who thinks Vermette is the difference between winning and losing is crazy. Rental = give up nothing really. 3rd Rd pick? Maybe but guaranteed some team will give up too much for him. He's a rental if there ever was.

Just to keep up with the times. Highly doubt they want an all star game. Why would they. Draft makes sense tho since we are owed one

Kings did try to trade him several times but that contract is so bad the only thing it sounds like other teams were willing to give up was their bad contracts. Think Clarkson for Richards type things. Why would LA do that. Why not buy him out? It's a valid question. Kings have a very rich owner for sure

When was the last time wally signed a guy only to trade him a few weeks later and umm comparing Taman to Buono is laughable and totally ridiculous. Only a rider Homer would do that.

It will be cold for sure or it could be -2 like right now or plus 4 like it was Friday. Really don't know what to expect but ya regardless of December or February it will be chilly to sit outside for 3 or 4 hours and very expensive. Honestly not being a season tix holder I'd probably just watch on TV. I don't see all the fuss about an outdoor game and I don't even mind the cold. I just am not sure how good the sight lines would be. I dunno. These games to me have been over done. Plus sounds like the local teams get screwed over profit wise. Not sure why jets would want one even

Pass. Too much money for too long really plus no real need for him. If this was 5 years ago Mike Richards? In a second but it's not even close. Is it the Kenora thing? Cuz I don't see the appeal in taking on that contract

Yeah its much warmer in February Actually. Historically speaking. It's more similar than people realize. December on avg = -9 high. February = -12 high. Not a huge difference

I don't get how anyone could possibly believe what that slimeball Bettman says actually.

Seems someone is missing the part where it said all 3 agreed on the February date until 2 weeks ago when the NHL said no. So really a deal was in place but NHL changed their mind last minute really. Is it ok for NHL to pull out last minute but it's not ok for bombers to say no to December? NHL is at fault really cuz all 3 agreed to February up until 2 weeks ago when NHL said it doesn't work for them. Get this they wanted December out of your head cuz they all agreed on February but then at the last minute NHL said no. December didn't work for bombers. January didn't work for true north. February worked for all 3 until 2 weeks ago when NHL decided it didn't work. Why blaming the bombers exactly? I don't really get that at all. It's obviously the NHL who pulled out last minute. Why? Probably because they didn't want it to interfere with the American one which in the NHL mind is more important obviously. Simple solution really. Colo in December. Wpg in February. But nope

Wouldn't give up much for Vermette, plus he's a Center, not exactly a huge need for us at the moment. I think some team is willing to give up more for him, i wouldn't give up anything of real value at all because if i truly wanted Vermette that bad, I'd just wait until the off season when is a free agent and get him for "free". I see no interest in Vermette from the Jets Perspective. Kassian actually does make sense, young guy, big strong fast, needs a change of scenery, has a contract past this season, that pays him less than 2 million per year at that. He's the type of guy the Jets would target i'd imagine. Young guy on a cheap contract. They are apparently looking for a 3rd line right winger, That's what Kassian is. He fits the profile to a tee pretty much.

What makes your opinions more credible than anyone else's? Don't really agree with the way Spuds worded that there but... reading the last few comments on page 1 here, He is pretty much bang on. I mean there is tons of speculation and made up stuff there for sure from one guy atleast and with no real facts to back up what he is saying. I mean, honestly, if you are accusing people of doing back room deals over land or whatever else really, you better have some damn good facts to back it up and quite frankly, there are no facts. Just a bunch of speculation and really guessing big time, i wanna call it blowing smoke up peoples asses cuz that's actually what a few of those posts are pretty much doing. I like the one comment too that ends page 1, something about living in fantasy worlds... guess that person does too cuz what they have written about this topic is nothing but fantasy.That's just what it is - speculation. No one was purporting to know exactly what is happening at city hall. There's no need for people to attack others for stating their opinions as to what's going on at city hall.Yeah but theres a different between speculation and basically accusations like Gbills posts are doing. He's pretty much accusing chipman of buying bowman, I think that's a pretty bold statement to make with no real facts to back it up.It's not a bold statement at all. That's how politics and business interact, especially when you have a pro-business politician in power. It is bold because even though that may be the case, you have no facts to back it up this time at all. You can't saying Chipman bought Bowman or whatever without having any real facts. Can't just say that's how politics works, because yeah even though i agree with you there a bit, saying someone bought someone is crazy and honestly, if this was a court of law, it's not but if we pretend it is, you'd get laughed out of the room in like 5 minutes with your "but that's how politics" works argument. Like i said, it might be but Bowman has somewhat shown in his brief time in office that, you know what... he's not exactly the same as those other guys. I see nothing so far that even remotely suggest Bowman is similar to Katz or guys from the past and what you are saying with no real facts is he is the same. When all he has done since getting in to office is pretty much the exact opposite of what you are speculating about.

What makes your opinions more credible than anyone else's? Spuds worded it wrong, sounds like he wants an argument but reading a few of those posts on page 1 here, Not sure exactly how what Spuds said is wrong. Maybe saying something like.. instead of making up bs and calling people out like the one guy is doing to Bowman and Chipman here pretty much, perhaps present some real facts to support your argument instead of just saying "gut feeling". Maybe that would have been better?? I mean really, basically saying Bowman was bought by Chipman is a pretty hardcore accusation and in my opinion, if you are making accusations like that, you better present some pretty damn good facts to back that up. Sorry but "gut feeling" isn't good enough.

The skills competition is pretty cool normally but sometimes seems like guys are just going through the motions. The announcing on CBC was horrible too so that didn't help. Can't believe Healy and those guys get all worked up about RYJO from Columbus taking off his jersey and have an ohio state Jersey under neath, like wheres the creativity there? Not much creativity in that breakaway challenge there or whatever it was called, seen it all before. Guess only so much you can do, Thought Giroux was most creative, at least he tried different things. The all star game tho? It's a waste of time and money really. Doubt many people watch it, it's just pond hockey really, no hitting, no goaltending really, No D at all. It's kind of a joke actually. I'll say this, the best all star game is the baseball one because atleast it means something, winning league gets homefield in the world series, that's cool at least but seeing the NHL one, what's the point? I don't really care about the game because it's really just guys going through the motions really. I'll say this, if the all star "week-end" came to Winnipeg, i might go check out the skills competition and the stuff outside the arena they do, but the game itself? probably not. Pretty crazy high ticket prices apparently.

Can understand Bombers not wanting it in December, like it or not, the Grey Cup is bigger than an Outdoor Hockey Game, it makes the bombers money, that stadium is a football stadium first and foremost also so makes sense why they wouldn't want it that close to the Grey Cup. Not sure why the Jets didn't want it in January, that makes very little sense and not sure why the NHL didn't want it in February. Reality is, all 3 are at fault and nobody is at fault at the same time, THe NHL obviously is gonna play this up like they aren't at fault when in reality, the game probably could have been played in February, NHL makes all the money off this, people who aren't Bomber or Jets season ticket holders wouldn't be going, NHL would give seats away to all their sponsors so for a guy like me, no season tix to Jets or Bombers, i'd watch it on TV cuz no way i'd even get a shot at getting tickets so to me, it's not a big deal at all. 2016, 2017 whatever really works... Just don't like the blame game the NHL was obviously playing when they themselves are at fault a little bit too. They make all the money, sounds like the bombers would make very little and the Jets very little if anything also. NHL is at fault. Quite frankly, i'm not sure why any team would want to host one of these outdoor games when it sounds like the NHL makes all the profit.

Interesting trade. Makes you wonder why. Obviously Greenwood is the reason but makes you wonder about what's going on in sask

Solid news. Coaching staff should be quite interesting on the D side

Sometimes when you pull that trigger you accidentaly shoot yourself. Jets are playing fine right now, but they are being built for sustainability not for 1 good season or 2 but they are being built to be a playoff contender year in year out. They are not going to do something irrational because a couple guys contracts are up in 2 seasons.
