I do like how Poolparty is a better prospect 🤣

Comparing him to Mario Lemieux is ridiculous

FACT - Mario rarely came to Winnipeg even when he was healthy.

False.

Pittsburgh only played here about once a season but he managed to play 9 games here during his career. That's a good rate considering his health issues (and one season shortened due to a lockout) before the Jets left.

Dear Joe Pascucci, settle a bet… 🤣

Did they raise their banner yet for their first win of the season?

Seems like an Ehlers comparable. If he wants to be here still. 7 x 7.5 but laf younger and kind of a playoff beast while Ehlers older and kind of playoff bust.

Not really a comparable because of the RFA years that are factored in to that for Lafreniere and future potential.

I don't know that I'd want to pay Ehlers that much at least not much more than that, but if that is the top line offer, it may be a reason he goes to UFA to see what else is out there.

I'm hoping I don't eat these words and knowing I'm being petty but so far Barry Trotz not accepting the HC role here gives me great joy in seeing the Preds not being able to buy themselves a SC.

With JM getting fired, how soon does another team axe their HC so they can scoop JM up?

My guess this happens sooner than later.

What team? Let's go with Detroit.

St Louis might be an option. He was a player there and spent some time as assistant coach as well.   Also, I believe his wife is from there.

wild story. Hope it all works out for JT. He’s a good guy. I’ve met him multiple times. Would love to see him in a Jets jersey.

I’ll agree with Detroit but throw another team in the mix, Montreal .

That didn't take long.  Montgomery to St Louis.

Figure he’d be scooped up quickly. 5 year deal also.
