Mike Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 Local media scooped by local blogger who writes almost exclusively poor quality articles and was seen as a running joke ... Until he broke this story. (That's who Fox Sports quoted) Atomic and Goalie 2
The Unknown Poster Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 I can't get excited until goalie confirms or denies. . I kid.... Jimmy Pop, Atomic and Goalie 3
The Unknown Poster Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 Gotta think it's Wheeler with all the suddenly news stories. Oh and it's his birthday. Feel good story
Atomic Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 I had never heard of JetsWhiteout.com before yesterday. I'll have to start following it.
The Unknown Poster Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 Do they generally want a D with an A or does it not matter? I'd say Wheeler, Scheif and little or Myers. But if the decision comes down to management and players deciding all bets are off.
FrostyWinnipeg Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) Yeah weird that FOX/jetswhiteout got scoop over 1290. Someone squealed. Also Byfuglien not considered? Edited August 31, 2016 by FrostyWinnipeg
Rich Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 Buff doesn't want to deal with the media part of the job. Still a huge leader in the room.
JCon Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 It's Wheeler! I'm sure Laine feels slighted.
Rich Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 These guys look like they are in church....
The Unknown Poster Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 Cool video Jets released for the announcing showing previous captains.
The Unknown Poster Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 Buff and Scheif are alternates. JCon 1
Goalie Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 Not to read to much in to this but Stripping Stuart of the A might signify an interesting change. Perhaps he is a pressbox option now. All great choices for sure. Wheeler, like Maurice said, EARNED IT. Buff and Scheif are great choices also as they are 2 guys who committed to winnipeg long term very recently. Jimmy Pop, The Unknown Poster and HardCoreBlue 3
Arnold_Palmer Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 Classy move to announce it on Wheeelers birthday. Small things like this is what makes the Jets organization top notch. Goalie and JCon 2

Leadership group is in good hands with these guys maybe Wheeler wants to be here long term, as for Stuart by taking the A away from him it probably signals less playing time, especially if Morrissey is ready to make the jump.
The Unknown Poster Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 Yeah no reason Wheeler can't re-up again and be here another 6+ years as an aging veteran. Always thought Ladd would retire here. But hopefully Wheeler does. Goalie 1
Goalie Posted August 31, 2016 Report Posted August 31, 2016 Ladd showing tremendous class and respect to wheeler and the jets on twitter

IC Khari Posted September 1, 2016 Report Posted September 1, 2016 Great news! So deserved! Loved what Maurice said about him
iso_55 Posted September 1, 2016 Report Posted September 1, 2016 Congrats to Blake Wheeler. He'll do a great job.

Yeah feel bad for Stu but the A's are pretty useless anyway
