    Ducky got a reaction from blitzmore in Next year's line up?   
    I think Armia makes the team before some of those guys...like Lemieux.
    Ehlers would be with the Moose next season if he could and so would Lemieux. Petan and Morrissey might be ready right now?

    It depends on the market.  If he was a UFA this year he would have cleared 7 mil.

    Well then say bye to Ladd.  Jets can have fun with whatever plug gets unearthed in free agency next year to fill his spot.  Here's a spoiler, the new player will be worse than Ladd.

    I disagree...Petan will make the Jets before Ehlers does.

    Plus Minus needs to be put in to context a bit, it's not the greatest stat cuz... really, let's put it like this... I'll just use current jets players for this example..
     
    Ladd,Little,Wheeler, Toby,Myers are on the ice. The puck is in our zone.. Wheeler goes to change let's say and while that is happening, the other team gets a scoring chance and eventually puts it in the net but wheeler gets to the bench b4 the puck goes in and Perreault comes on to the ice, well that minus wouldn't go to Wheeler, he was on the bench, it would go to perreault, even tho he just stepped on to the ice and was nowhere near the play. 
     
    Plus Minus is pretty misleading... Lemieux has some skills, he's probably a bottom 6 guy for sure, ideally on the 4th line... Probably take him over Thorburn and Peluso every day cuz at least the guy has some offensive ability.

    That is a pretty general statement to make.  Last time I checked Evander Kane was Canadian.  Poison players are human nature and come in all nationalities.
     
    Lots of Russians that are not poison.  For a while there has been a flight risk to the KHL, which I think was a bigger reason teams shied away from them, but with the messed up economy in Russia, the risk is less.
     
    Specific to Burmi, yes there has been rumours that he isn't great in the locker room.  I think the Jets room is pretty strong though and can handle him.
     
    Even given character issues, there is no way I'd take O'Dell over Burmi.  There are much better NHL players we have in our system over O'Dell.

    How's Buff for Simmonds and Travis Sanheim and then trade Toby for Jonathan Ericsson.
    Simmonds can play with Scheif or Lowry and Ericsson pairs with Trouba.

    Gotta be Winnipeg - I feel like they're gonna try their hardest to move up, they can afford a BIG splash. The cupboard is stocked enough, time to up the ante and get a BIG name.

    Welcome to the forum. Now I'm going to pick apart your trade offer...
     
    Carolina would have to give us the 5th overall just to take Semin & Ward for nothing in return, never mind three players with actual value. Their cap numbers are ugly, they're both over 30, and neither one is very good anymore.

    Burmi is probably a throw in, i could see for example pick 25 and Burmi to Buffalo for pick 21. I don't Burmi's value is that high at all. 
     
    Buff plus Burmi for "insert players here".
     
    I am actually starting to agree with TUP when he goes on about how the team may regress a bit this coming season, I could actually see us going really young and having some massive growing pains along the way but... being pretty good next year and so on.
     
    Reality is right now
     
    Buff,Toby,Trouba,Myers,Stuart,Chiarot are signed on D Harrison and Clitsome too but who knows what happens with Clitsome and his back.
     
    Forwards signed are
     
    Ladd,Little,Wheeler,Scheif,Perreault,Lowry,Thorburn,Copp,Peluso..
     
    Lots of holes to fill and honestly, if we lose both Frolik and Stafford, man oh man... trouble for sure. And I think it's likely that we lose both.. I'd say it's almost guaranteed that Frolik is gone and i'd say it's 50/50 on stafford. Yeah that article but Elliot Friedman also had an article about stafford and the jets and said at this point, i wouldn't be optimistic that a deal gets done.
     
    Jets might  regress next season for sure. Tough division. People can talk about Chicago but it's not the sharps oduyas and bickells that are winning them cups, it's the toews,kanes,keiths,seabrooks really... That's their core and our's can't compete with that just yet.

    Not sure how O'Dell got in there...supposed to be Copp.
     
    D men are not in any order and if Buff isn't traded, one of the RHD will switch to the L side.
     
    Still not sure if Ehlers makes the team... Burmi can fack off...didn't want to be a Jet and now does???? Trade him for a starting 3rd line winger, preferably a LW. Some of these russkies piss me off...
     
    Stafford - Scheifele - Perreault
    Ladd - Little - Wheeler
    Ehlers - Lowry - Armia
    Stempniak - Copp - Thorburn
     
    Buff - Trouba - Chiarot - Myers - Enstrom - Stuart
     
    This is assuming that Staf and stemp re-sign.

    Great size and passable skating. He also has decent hands for a 4th liner enforcer. Probably a top 3 fighter in the league. Takes way too many bad penalties though and doesn't seem to have much for hockey sense. Overall, I'm happy with this signing. He'll probably be in the press box for most of the season anyways.
