    A salary cap and Chevy needs him for when the team goes on a run.

    I can see a team giving up a 3rd for him at the TD...if you could get a 4th for him now, why wait for spring...do it now. I haven't liked Staf since last year. I was looking for the things the Sabres' fans were complaining about and I couldn't see it in him for the stretch run to the playoffs right after the trade. Saw them the next year though...disappearing for games on end...really streaky goal scorer....lacked effort....couldn't play D. Where they were wrong was they said he always plays well in the last year of his contract...I'd rather see Tanev and Connor in the lineup than Thorbs and Staf but I guess we need that "vet" presence. After all, they are going to be growing with the team for the next few years, no? Why dress Tanev?

    Stafford at best will get us a 4th rounder at the TD. Not as good as Stempy's 2nd/4th or even Tlusty's 3rd+conditional but what you expect for 31yr old who don't hit and coming off worst year ever.

    I'm not saying this is untrue but if it is true, why are we holding on to him?....get rid of him now. Everything the Sabres' fans said about him was true.

    Again, we are a young team and that's fine. But the issues here aren't just youth.  We've seen Toby, buff, stu, Stafford make bone head plays or seemingly give up on plays 

    I'd trade Stafford as soon as possible. If we're going to suck let petan or Connor play that spot. 

    I wrote here way back that my one fear was the jets lost grit. They played better with way less talent than they have now. 

    Matthias is out there busting his ass. He's working hard to play above his talent. Even Thorbs. Say what you will, he's giving his all every shift.  I think Wheeler does too. 

    Ehlers is probably our best player. 

    If we could remake the D in the image of trouba we'd be somewhere.  I like buff. He's not a D man. He's a rover. Trouba should be getting his minutes with Morrossey (another bright spot).  Buff moves down with Toby and plays less minutes. 

    Then we need another trouba style player

    Id still try to pry Hamonic out of Long Island.  

    Morrissey-Trouba

    Ham-Myers

    toby-Buff

    that makes us better. Acquire a frolik-ish player and someone who intimidates the opposition. 

    I don't much care about goaltending at this point but we need a better back up next year. If someone will trade us a better back up with a year left for expansion purposes and take Hutch then it can't hurt. But Helle should still get most starts.  He can still be that goalie we need. 

    But id absolutely look at a new goalie coach. 

    M-T 4m

    H-M 10m

    T-B 13m

    That's a lot to pay for your D corps. I like the looks of it though. Has Hamonic ever played LHD?

    What I wouldn't give to be sitting there listening to what was said and who said what at that meeting.

    Supposedly it was kinda like, You shouldn't have games like that in this league. (about letting them score 3 goals on the first 7 shots)...Before you know it, the season is over and suddenly it's summer again and you're training for the next season.... Just trying to make sure everyone is on the same page about what we are trying to do... That was the main point. ...

    I would have liked to hear what Buff and Scheif and Wheeler were saying.

    “It’s that time of the year where the evaluation process is honed-in and the needs and wants and desires of each team are discussed,” said Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff. “You set out with some marching orders from there.

    “I would suspect over the next 10 to 15 to 20 games, as you get closer towards that deadline, you’ll see chatter and intrigue pick up from that standpoint.”

    Cheveldayoff is not ready to throw in the towel — or start trading away pending UFAs like Drew Stafford and Paul Postma — especially with top goal-scorer Patrik Laine and defenceman Tyler Myers expected back sometime soon from injury.

    “A lot of it depends on the injury situation for us here,” said Cheveldayoff. “We hope to get Patrik Laine back in the lineup as soon as possible, as soon as he’s medically able. And the same goes for Tyler Myers.

    Those are two key pieces for us in that realm.

    “There’s lots of games to be played yet and a lot of discussions to have internally and externally before you can classify us or a lot of teams as truly buyers or sellers.”
