And while we're at it... How about Morrissey or Kichton getting a shot, instead of the Pardy Postma experiment.  Postma was AWFUL the other night.

Isn't he already a 3rd liner?

Playing Pardy is completely ridiculous.  Bring up Morrissey, Kitchton or anybody else, really.  Give a young guy a chance to gain some experience.
I don't get it.

Here's the thing. To those who say you'd rather keep pav? Why exactly. His numbers are actually pretty bad... he's had 5 almost 6 years here... his save percentage is actually the same as hutch or a little worse. The GAA are similar. Pav makes 4.75 million next year or something but with a 3.9 million cap hit. Hutch is a rfa who might get 1 million. Helle would still be on his ELC.... with pav and helle you are spending let's just call it 4.6 million cap hit. With hutch and helle it's about 1.6 max 2 million cap hit. Pav has had his chances. He's a below average nhl goalie. Why hang on to him for another year. It makes no sense and if some other team is willing to trade for him.... I don't care what you get back.... you take it and run. Pav isn't the future so keeping him makes no sense 

I will be the first to admit I am surprised they got Buff locked in and for only 5 years.  It shows a lot of faith on Buff's part too because you have to know his agent said, look, you're basically weeks away from having every team in the league bidding for your services.  And he said, no, take the deal and stay in Winnipeg.
I was hoping $7.2 but thinking 6 years so Ill take this.  Around the office the reaction of 5 years was met with cheers and $7.6 with some frowns but he would have got more money or years on the open market, maybe both.

And what did the San Jose goalie (Shtalock?) get for his ridiculous flop?

True enough, should be a few of them available.
I think the Jets sign Buff to a 6 year contract, contrary to popular belief.
I also think it will be for north of 7m per year.
I think they trade Ladd before the TD.
I wouldn't trade Staf, he has been good for us and can play on any of the top 3 lines. If I'm trading Staf, it would be at the TD in 2017.
MP should be re-signed the second he is able to.

Yep, we will be royal this season.

Bullshit. Winnipeg has plenty of bargaining chips. As we've heard over and over, the stadium itself is a huge draw. I believe the coaches, to a degree, are a draw. Then we heard from Westerman last year that when they were trying to recruit him they "run things like an NFL organization". Nobody's saying it's perfect right now but we're not a place everyone's avoiding. 

This officiating is disgraceful.

Something tells me he won't be looking to K Peterson to fill the role of receivers coach. 

Oh brother... I stand by my original statement.  Take your ball and go home.

Whaaaaaahhhh! 

Piss you off and make you post this crap on Twitter?

Agreed.  Ladd looked and has looked terrible this season.  Any chance he's playing with another injury?  Because he looks lazy and slow.
 
I know which contract I would want to get done, out of the two.... And it's not even close.

..... what? The offense was by far the biggest sore spot on the team and you don't think the OC should have been taking the fall? Come on now Iso, I know you want to fire everyone and blow it all up but the offensive coordinator wasn't a fall guy on this team, he was a guy needing to be fired. We know O'Shea is a good coach because the STs got a lot better when he got more involved and we know players have said they came here because of him. Why fire a guy like that when he has been hampered by a shitty offense for which he fired his offensive coordinator? You need to give people chances to rebound or improve but you seem hell bent on firing people for the first mistakes which doesn't work in the long run. 

Yeah **** that guy for having a poor 2nd season! No one ever has a poor season and rebounds. Guarantee that if we move on from Lirim and he goes on to another team and rebounds you'll be first in line to ***** and moan about them letting him get away. 

Don't worry they're going to bring back Keith Stokes for Friday.

Player Safety decides there will be no suspension on Dustin Byfuglien for his hit on Brendan Gallagher.
 
Not sure why they felt the need to talk to him.

No word yet from @NHLPlayerSafety but I imagine WPG's Dustin Byfuglien's hit on MTL's Brendan Gallagher last night will get a long look.
 
 
 
Is Bob falling for the "Montreal can do no wrong" nonsense?  Buff delivered a 100% clean body check.
