The NHL has announced that players will NOT be going to Pyoengchang in 2018. NHL Will Not Participate in 2018 Pyeongchang Olympic Games Very disappointed.

It's Roslovic's hometown but maybe, Thorburn once scored two goals there or fought someone above his weight class, so he deserves to play?

Roslovic and Connor will play against Columbus, but yeah, let them play now!! Enough trying to be good to Thorburn. They've been plenty good to him over the years. It's ridiculous.

In the cap era, this is a way of helping encourage players to come to Winnipeg. Assuming everyone is paying around the same, how the players are actually treated goes a long way, IMO.

We've been the GC twice in the past ten years.

Go ahead and change the lexicon. Call some turnovers and some takeaways. Don't make a big deal about (over and over again) and call them all takeaways.

The only thing that annoyed me about that is the ends the Winnipeg journalists, in particular Bauming, went on and on about this comment last year. Bauming even added it to his repertoire and commented anytime someone called it a turnover. Fine if the Bombers and Tait call it a takeaway but why does the media now need to call it a takeaway? Are we going to refer to some as turnovers and some as takeaways? Always felt like Bauming was trying to suck up to MOS.

Question... Are we now in the late days of this administration?! (Kind of feels like it, eh?)

I thought Wheeler's comments were ridiculous. This team has been all over the place in terms of 'compete' this season. Yes, Wheeler always gives it his all (does he?) but not everyone does. He's the captain, he should be a bit more reflective of who this team is. It was a good questions and poor reaction from him.

With Myers on left.... I can't remember, has he played much on the left? I can't recall him playing there with the Jets but maybe in Buffalo? I would give it a go. Production would go down, as he would have to stay at home, hedging for Buff.

They can't compel him to implicate himself in a crime though. He could do time for hindering prosecution and get a pardon right before Trump is impeached. POTUS pardons are binding and cannot be reversed.

He's also added three legit top four d in Morrissey, Trouba, and Meyers.

Which makes the Denmark delay puzzling. They got him in the end but there's always the risk.

Yeah, I think McDuffie will be there until he drops a return, which won't happen until at least August. (Because that's what seems to happen, not because I expect him to fail)

He's a player, not management. You sign a contract with a team, not with a GM. If don't treat the players with respect, why would you expect them to treat the team with respect?

Agree, agree, agree. It's not like Foley did anything wrong. The least you should do is pick up the phone and tell the guy.

Could wait for some NFL cuts too. Some receivers won't make it to the summer and the Bobmers can be there to poach someone.

I remember when Khan went for his stint with the Stampeders, he talked about how well the players were treated. Always made me sad to think that we didn't treat our players as well and, likely, lost a few free agents as a result.

For reference: Best OL time was 4.81 Eighth best time was 5.15 (there were four OL that received that time). Bench press: Top 35 reps for OL. And seven players got 26 reps. Is he that far off?

Some want to upgrade their families. No word on the trade-in value yet. Devil is in the details.

Great idea! My son (7), who usually has my second season ticket, attends the Banjo Bowl with my mother. She's a Rider fan, so I make them sit wayyyy down in the south end zone. Anything that improves their experience (more kid friendly) will be positive. Please don't forget about the kids in the upper deck! It drives my son crazy when he sees stuff like the fan cannon, which target only the lower level.

When can teams start moving players again? After the playoffs are done or after the teams involved are done? It seems like it will be a pretty small window and, Vegas won't get the lists until June 18th, I believe. I would only take them if I knew there was a market. IE they get a call from Chevy who wants a particular goalie in exchange for whatever. If there are good D available, I agree.

How is it a gong show? And, why should McPhee be fired immediately if he drafted six goalies? They're assets that can be moved and may be worth more than the skaters available.

Lists are being made a available and there's no moratorium on Vegas making deals during the draft period. If I'm the Jets, I look at the lists and make the call to Vegas. Grab goalie A and we'll give you players B & C. Why make things easy on the Pens? The Pens are stuck right now unless they can make a deal with Vegas to leave Murray. Or, get Fleury to waive his NMC. And, why would he do that at this point? Jets would then have to leave Helle unprotected and make a deal with Vegas. There's going to be lots of goalies moving and I'm not sure Fleury is the best choice at this point.

What if, as suggested last night on H&L (via some other random source), the Vegas Strippers take 6 goalies (or any goalies worth more than the forwards/defensemen being offered) and deal them during the summer? They could stockpile a good selection of prospects that way.
