    I think Chiarot is the worse D man we are carrying this year....judging by this year's play.

    As far as Petan is concerned, I think it is time to give him a chance....I honestly don't think he will make the Jets full time....ever. He has put in some time and deserves a game or two though. I have been saying to include Petan in a trade for over a year now.

    He's been given a chance. I'm not sure why, a few games later, he deserves ANOTHER chance ahead of better players.

    pffffft. another excuse leaked by his camp....are they sure they will be together in 6 years?????? 4 years?????? 2 years??????

    I call BS to the nth degree.

    Lindholm's signing is advantageous to the Jets...5.25 over 6 is a steal. Hell, Risto's agent should get a raise. Trouba isn't worth more than 5m in the league's current market. Chevy should tell him 30m over 6 or you can sit until I find a trade the management is happy with. If that happens to be after Dec. 1, so be it.

    Yeah, I'm not sure where the gf "excuse" came from. Seems convenient. But, we don't know.

    I'm not sure that having to live in Columbus is worth the premium that CBJ is paying Risto over Lindholm. Similar taxes, I think. But, for a lot of people, LA/Anaheim would be a better place to live.

    Lawless was only half right.  Its much harder for her to get into a school here as an American. She might not get in. 

    But, still, imagine you're her.  You might not see the U of M med school in the same light as schools in the US.  PLUS, doing your residency here?  Opening a practice here?  That's probably not her dream.  I can imagine conversations between them centering around "but you can play hockey anywhere..."

    Who knows what carries the most weight to them though.  If he signs for six years, then he's looking at Free Agency at a time when his girlfriend might be in a place where she's looking to advance her career.  It might work out.  Or $30+ million might make her feel a little better about Winnipeg.

    Slow down... Med school is still 4 years and, depending on her area of practice, that's another 4++ years for residency. 9 years before this becomes an issue (assuming she starts med school next year).

    Though, just because Trouba makes $5+M per year, that does not mean she does. We don't know what she wants to do or where she can go to school.

    This from Peter Tessier (jets blogger)

    Trouba will be back within two weeks with the Jets. Contract details being finalized and he’s getting ready to go. Just spoke with person he works with.

    He further says Trouba is preparing to return and contract is being worked on as we speak.  Expect 6 year deal similar to Lindholm.

    How reliable is Peter?

    It has become obvious what Hellebuyck is.  An excellent positional goalie with limited athletic talent.  He gets roasted up high and in the NHL they shoot to score.  The scouting report is out on Hellebuyck and everyone knows it now.  I'll gladly accept your apology halfway into the season when you realize I was right.

    You're clearly more knowledgeable than any NHL scout.

    I like Derek Taylor's statistics, but this statistical category carries no weight. I've never considered Kohlert to be a yac-yard guy. I want him to be where he's supposed to be, and make that catch. 

    As for Denmark, yes, Tds do restrict his count, but give him open space and he does fine. He makes tough catches, often in close quarters...same as Tasker. And some of the catches Cunningham makes are ridiculous.

    No use following this stat category...it gets no yardage in my books.

    I completely understand what you're saying.

    I would add, it depends a lot on who's throwing to you. Nicholls (great guy, great guy) has struggled to hit receivers on the run at times. So, if a receiver is forced to come back or wait for a pass, it could affect YAC.

    I can also see where this statistic can be important, with the given limitations. A team like the Bombers, who often throw short and rely on the receivers to make first downs with their legs, would see some value in this statistic.

    The problem is though, you can't always believe everything you read on the internet.  For example, I recall reading someone who was so sure that there was no possible way that the Riders could lose to Montreal.  

    But they didn't lose you see. They won because it means that they may finish lower than Montreal and secure a better draft pick. Rider math.

    Darren Dreger had said on the radio last week that Lindholm was asking a ridiculous price and that it seemed that they were way off.

    Yeah, I can't even remember who said it and whether it was Friday or Saturday on H&L.

    "They" said Anaheim was at $5.2-3 AAV and Lindhom's camp was at $5.4. 

    Now that it's been several days and Anaheim resolved of their problem, you would think the deal would be sealed.

    I guess we'll see.

    I had a dream last night that the Jets traded Trouba to Buffalo in something like a 12-14 player trade.  Oddly, it seemed they ended up with Krug so maybe it was a three team deal.  But leaving Winnipeg was Trouba, Lemieux, Armia, a minor league goalie who's name I cant remember (Phillips?) and I think Burmi for a package that included almost no one I had heard of.  And everyone was angry.  Then I woke up mad.

    Reports before this weekend suggest Anaheim and Lindholm are really close to an agreement. Talking hundred thousand apart, not a million.

    How come when I try to listen to tsn radio online I get a page that is called

    Iheart TSN radio?

    Did Iheart radio join TSN?  what the......

     

    "IHeart’s sales have never fully recovered from a pre-recession high in 2007, the last time the company reported a profit. Since then, the company has lost between $219.5 million and $4 billion every year"

    Bloomberg Feb 4 2016

     

    iHeartMedia (parent of iHeartRadio)  was founded in 2008. 

    On January 6, 2016, iHeartMedia announced that the iHeartRadio service would expand into Canada as part of a licensing deal with Bell Media—which, similarly to iHeartMedia, is the country's largest radio station operator. The company described the Canadian version of the service as being a "franchised" operation; Bell will handle Canadian music licensing, marketing, and distribution of the service, and provide content from its properties. Bell also gained rights to organize iHeartRadio-branded events in Canada; the first prominent instance came with the co-branding of an annual awards show organized through Bell's cable channel Much as the 2016 iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards. The service is expected to launch in mid-2016. The Canadian Serivce became Available on early October 2016 with FM/AM Stations provided by Bell Media and Digital-Only Stations Provided by iHeartMedia. No Custom-Stations or Podcasts are available on The Canadian Service Currently

    They're delivering Bell Media's stuff online now and through their apps. A lot of promotion on the station recently for it.

    We need the Leos to win here which will bring us closer to hosting a playoff game. 

    It's equal. 

    Either way, we just need to match the record of the winning team over the final two weeks. 

    I think the Lions have a better chance of losing at least one to Sask-Sask than the Esks losing to TiCats-Argos. But, really, we control our destiny now.

    The cap is the same - its for the whole season...  plus there's always injuries.

    I could see a team like Pittsburgh trading for Staff for another run - anyway, we'll see.

    I doubt that Pittsburgh will have the room given that they're at the cap right now. It would mean finding $1.5M in savings. That won't be easy unless a significant contract goes down injured for some time or if the Jets are willing to take on cap in return.  

    If they could trade Fleury for a low paid goaltender that they could expose in the expansion draft. Unless they have one in the system, already?

    Stafford is super easy to move at the TD...  UFA so you don't have to protect him with maybe $1.5 mill cap hit?  Chevy will get something for him.  Prob 2nd rounder.

     

    $1.5 mill average. At that time of year, teams only have a fraction of the cap left.

    Point is, you're going to have a difficult time including him in any Trouba without taking some salary dollar back, like an experienced LHD like I mentioned earlier.
