FrostyWinnipeg Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 I won't go as far to say Chariot better then Myers but I see Myers as #6 defensively. Playing with lil Toby just seems like a mistake.
Floyd Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 To be clear, I'll take Chiarot with Buff - they have chemistry... Chiarot has made huge strides and is 23 years old - just don't think we should forget about him because he's five inches shorter than Myers. Nice timing on the TSN article though... http://www.tsn.ca/jets-taking-risk-by-bringing-in-myers-1.209396
Mr Dee Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 Re that TSN article: I haven't seen such loose use of graphs and tables and related non-such in a long time. Just me the good old coaching/scouting and the actual visual aspect of rating a player and keep all that analytical stuff in the drawer…where it belongs.
Floyd Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 Chevy is absolutely a corsi guy. Myers with Enstrom is an experiment... if it doesn't work, Myers is gone next summer or at the draft. All this talk about Myers great contract is a bit off the mark - cap hit is higher than Bogo's and if you think $7 million over three years makes a difference to David Thomson... not too sure about that.
kelownabomberfan Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 I'm a big Myers fan not just because I think the kid is a huge talent and a workhorse defenceman that can play big minutes but his reach is just so long he's a tough guy to get around with the puck. And he's only going to get better, he's still a young kid with a long career ahead of him. I also am a bit biased as I used to watch him play for the Rockets here in Kelowna and I like to see Rockets make it in the NHL. Kelowna has produced a lot of great defencemen for the NHL - Myers, Weber, Keith, Tyson Barrie, Josh Gorges, Luke Schenn...good to see them all doing well. blitzmore and Blue-urns 2
Noeller Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 Myers is a great hockey player, and it's laugh out loud funny some of the things people are saying on here to justify their own preconceived notions. Just about any team in the league would love to have him. Brandon, BomberFan, Blue-urns and 1 other 4

All this talk about Myers great contract is a bit off the mark - cap hit is higher than Bogo's and if you think $7 million over three years makes a difference to David Thomson... not too sure about that. I'm going to have to refer you back to the facepalms above. What does David Thompson have to do with anything related to personnel decisions? I know you're smart enough to know that Chevy isn't calling up Thompson on the phone and asking for an extra million so they can sign Frolik, so why are you even suggesting that he's even tangentially involved in hockey operations? You're going to accuse people of being lazy? That's lazy. Cmon Floyd, I know you're better than that. (and fyi - losing 7 million dollars makes a difference to everyone) blitzmore 1
mbrg Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 I would say the emergence of Trouba made Bogosian expendable for what they got back in Myers. Not only his terrific contract, but his speed and offensive upside. Makes the Jets that much more deadly from the D. I wonder how good Myers would be right now if he hadn't been trapped in that black hole of suck for so many years? This has been Bogosian's best all around season, so I really did not want to lose him, but that's unfortunately the price of the deal we made. I don't think Trouba has anything to do with it. And while I don't think Myers is currently physically able to replace Bogosian in the defensive end, he has the potential to grow into that as he develops. And his offensive upside is fairly high. So while he's not there yet, the potential for him to be better than Bogosian exists. We'll have to wait a few years to see if the Jets can get that out of him. Buffalo sure wasn't going to do it. He was being asked to carry that team defensively long before he was ready, like he was supposed to be their Shea Weber. It's the same mentality that Atlanta used to ruin so many of their prospects. Thanks Atlanta! SPuDS and Blue-urns 2
Brandon Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 Myers is such garbage that he was in high demand last trade deadline and teams immediately contacted the Jets when they acquired him..... such a garbage player that for some reason teams are lining up to make a deal for!

Why would $7 million cap hit mean a thing to David Thomson? Especially when the actual cash is significant less? Myers traded next season? Lol. Not a chance.

A few people who really need to use Google and educate themselves before making silly remarks about a player they don't know anything about.

There is only one Myers more popular and he also has special powers. FrostyWinnipeg 1
The Unknown Poster Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 Armia and Klingberg both absent from IceCaps practice. Could be indicative of recalls to the Jets. if so, that means Perrault & Stafford would both be on IR.
Rich Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 Heard an interesting discussion that they may be able to put Harrison on the IR retroactively as he was technically hurt. It really depends on if he has since been practicing with the team yet. (I suppose he could have "mysteriously" re-aggravated something).
Rich Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 suspicion from sources in St. John's is that Carl Klingberg has been recalled by #nhljets.Stafford or Perreault would have to go on IR — gary lawless (@garylawless) February 18, 2015 sounds like Joel Armia has an injury of some sort and not available to #nhljets — gary lawless (@garylawless) February 18, 2015
Mike Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 lol Armia already hurt. Just as he could've been called up. CLASSIC ARMIA I'm also getting a chuckle out of Floyd falling in love with Chiarot and calling Myers lazy. CLASSIC FLOYD Floyd 1
The Unknown Poster Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 lol Armia already hurt. Just as he could've been called up. CLASSIC ARMIA I'm also getting a chuckle out of Floyd falling in love with Chiarot and calling Myers lazy. CLASSIC FLOYD its because last game there were two incidents: opening seconds, Myers has a miscue with Hutch that leads to a scoring chance for Oilers so Myers sucks. And later, Chiarot leads a rush, fights through the Oilers' D and sets up a Jets goal on a great play so Chiarot is all-world. Interesting that they'd recall Klingberg. The usual re-call guy is Cormier. I would speculate that they need/want a faster more offensive body. Usually Cormier, if he even dresses, gets very limited 4th line minutes. I assume Klingberg would get real playing time in the top 9. The question is, are both Perrault & Stafford hurt and the two replacement forwards will be Klinger and Buff or does this allow them to keep Buff on the back end?
Atomic Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 Klingberg is also a natural winger while Cormier is a centre. It's ugly but we might go into next game (and the foreseeable future depending on injury news) with forward lines of: Ladd - Little - Wheeler Frolik - Scheif - Byfuglien Galiardi - Lowry - Thorburn Klingberg - Slater - Peluso And that's assuming they move Buff up to wing temporarily.
The Unknown Poster Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 Lawless now confirming Klingberg is recalled. Let's hope they can keep Buff on D. Maybe Stafford isnt out and they can slide Klingberg into the 2RW. Go: Ladd-Little-Wheeler Stafford-Scheif-Frolik Thorburn-Lowry-Klingberg Galiardi-Slater-Peluso
Atomic Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 If Stafford is still in, that makes things a little better. Really don't like the idea of Galiardi in the top 9 so hopefully we can avoid that.
Jacquie Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 gary lawless @garylawless 1h1 hour ago Confirmed - Carl Klingberg recalled by #nhljets and Joel Armia held out of practice for maintenance. So expect MP or Stafford to go on IR Ed Tait @WFPEdTait 2m2 minutes ago #NHLJets Mathieu Perreault was just signing autographs at MTS Iceplex. Was walking gingerly, but no boot on his foot #bn
Rich Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 #NHLJets Michael Hutchinson not on the ice, possibly maintenance day. Former Bison Joe Caliguri filling in at G. #bn — Ed Tait (@WFPEdTait) February 18, 2015 To sum up #NHLJets: Buff/Postma at F; no Stafford/Perreault. Klingberg, who has apparently been called up, likely joining team in Wash #bn — Ed Tait (@WFPEdTait) February 18, 2015
