Bottom 6 outplaying Top 6 so far tonight

Just heard a report that Drouin could be traded in the next 24 hours with St. Louis as a possible destination.

7 mil puts him ahead of Seabrook , Keith, Karlsson, Giodarno, and Pietrangelo, still to much for Buff for me.

They all get paid in American dollars so there money actually goes further up here

Wheeler is not calling out depth guys, his message is loud and clear and pointed directly at Buff and Ladd. These two have probably been told through there agents that the Jets will not be offering big money contracts and will be traded by the deadline. In Ladds case he should fire his agent if there is any truth of what the Jets were offering him in the summer.

That Dustin Brown contract is gonna hurt for a long time half a season and has 14 points in 42 games.

I've heard a lot of different numbers as it pertains to Buff and not one term and dollars has made me say lets sign him. If he played with the passion and heart of a guy like Wheeler and with his talent he would be worth every penny of what he is asking for, but he doesn't . This team is no closer to competing for a playoff spot every year is they resign him and i think Chevy knows this.

Make no mistake about it the Canadian Dollar is going to be a big factor for all Canadian teams , if it goes any lower i can see the salary cap staying where it is. A lot of the NHL revenue comes from the Canadian teams and the dollar is going to hurt there bottom line if it stays low for the next few years.

If Chevy wants to trade Ladd and Buff being in a playoff spot will kills this plan, can't get rid of two players that have gotten you this far. So they miss the playoffs or get knock out in the first round again what do you have to show for it. You got two free agents that he doesn't want to give big money or long term to and they walk as free agents, sounds familiar. Missing the playoffs will be sad but in the long run it will help this team in the future.

Think Chevy has made up his mind about this team, knows it's not good enough, will let things play out, deal players at the deadline and collect a top 3 pick a the draft.

Don't think Bettman cares what happens in little ol' Winnipeg probably into a limo and off to the airport after his interview

The problem for the Chargers is the Rams would run the new stadium and they would just be tenants. Probably better for the Chargers to try once again and work something out with the San Diego for a new facility .

Giving Ladd a contract worth 36 million would be a bad contract in the long term so would giving Buff a contract of 56 million. The dollar continues to drop and revenue will take a hit this year. Bill Daly just said that the Canadian teams portion of revenue sharing is tied to the dollar so i can't see the cap going up significantly. Ladd won't see big free agent dollars considering the year he is having Buff might ,if the Jets still have slightly lower offers on the table they should seriously consider signing.

As Deon Sanders said the Vikings are a smoke and mirrors team, just a terrible way to lose but the Seahawks had luck shinning on them today. All 4 road teams win, never been done before.

Elite players are not going to come here via free agency or trade so the only real option is to get a top 3 pick and hope he blossoms into a superstar. This upcoming draft weakens out early so a top 3 pick is essential, trading Buff and Ladd should help us get there.Not a playoff contender winning one losing two. Playoff teams made winning runs not losing streaks. Todays game proves that while we have some good players we have no finishers and unfortunately it looks like Buffalo has a younger and better core, we have a long way to go.

They need more players that will drive to the blue paint, instead what we have is a lot of perimeter play, cute stick handling and shots with no one in front of the net, but what really bothers me is the passing on this team. The passes are either in the skates or on the wrong side of where they should be which slows plays from taking shape, really is evident on the pp.

Jets outplayed and out shot the Sabre's no points for doing that.

All roads teams win this weekend

Philly is not a playoff team this year if they want Buff they'll wait till the off-season not give up anybody and sign him. TB becomes a instant Stanley Cup contender if they trade for Buff but there cap situation may not allow them to sign Buff long term. Stamkos is key here as he probably goes free agent maybe they can lock up Buff long term maybe Buff doesn't want to play there. TB offers Chevy a 1st round and a B prospect a Ufa Buff is gone.

Can see a non playoff bound team trading for Buff unless some kind of extension is signed.

Helle did what a good goalie should do allowed no goals in the first 10 minutes to keep the Jets in the game and continued through out the game. Like the way he controlled his rebounds tonight.

Praying already that Willy doesn't get hurt next season.

Seems like a guy who's happy to bounce from team to team not eager to come up north, can't say i blame him.

I suspect this is true in part Calgary gave a extra year, salary was very close but there were to many stories about Frolik's wife and her unhappiness in Winnipeg, maybe true maybe not water under the bridge

So from one sour face to another
