Nope. The NHL maintains rights to their defunct franchises. In the case of the Jets, I believe they transferred the trademarks to True North at no cost. I recall Bettman said the name and logo were TN's if they wanted them back at the presser announcing the sale (the same presser where David Thomson was asked about the name and said "Jets is a fine name".
Correct. I meant originally, when the franchise left, the trademarks didn't move to Phoenix, so they never belonged to them.
They remain 'untarnished'.

Isn't that the old Arizona jersey?
Thankfully, the NHL maintained the rights to the Jets 1.0 logos and colours, so I don't believe they ever transferred to the desert.

Best thing I ever heard around "running up the score" was "we'll stop trying to score when you do".
They definitely changed the play calls before the half. They should have tried to the ball down field and score.

My understanding is that is monitored by a sideline official from the CFL, not the actual refs. They have enough trouble figuring out what pass interference is.
We'd have to put red maple leafs on the jerseys for them to have a shot at keeping track. And then Canadinns gets all that promotion that they didn't pay for, so Winnipeg Moving gets upset...
They could just throw in a "Winnipeg Moving the chains" (type jingle) after every first down... Everyone's happy and there's a few more dollars in the pot.

After one of his last carries Harris was grabbing his hand in the huddle and wincing in pain, hopefully nothing comes of it and he did not leave the game
He was also limping a bit earlier in the game. Seemed to be a knee. Nothing major (it appears), just a knock.
Still makes you wonder why he was out there so late in the game? Nicholls too?

aside from Hardrick, did we have other injuries last night?
Adams was hurt but came back.

One of the fondest memories I have is the playoff game vs Hamilton in the supposed last game at CanadInns, I felt like Ralphie's brother in A Christmas Story I was wearing so many layers and wouldn't change it for the world. Winnipeg is cold, may as well steer into the skid and play these games in the nastiness that is our climate.
That was one of my favorite games I ever attended. Bundled up, beer freezing, and having a party before the old stadium closed (we thought it was, anyhow). It was so much fun.

Got there by 6:30 with my boy. He loved watching the baseball game, and thankfully, he didn't have to kill my phone battery watching it.
I made him leave after the 3rd quarter, when the buses started. He has a early day today (and so did I).
Really appreciated all the staff and volunteers last night! And really appreciated the Bombers putting the baseball game up on the screen. It made a big difference to me and my son.

Isn't Trouba/Buff a given? I disagree with it but that's seems to be what everyone saying.
Course Trouba not given either.
I'm certain PoMo said that they will be paired up together, at least to start the year. Said so during the mini-camp, I believe.

Would you let Kaner go for nothing if you were the GM?
Murray is shopping him for sure but what are you going to get for him now?
Trade him to the Nucks for whatever you can get.
Just getting him off the payroll and out of the dressing room is payment enough for me. But boy does the Sabres-Jets trade look very good on Chevy now. Always did IMO.

Good deals and I'm glad they're done.
I think Lowry can be our 3rd line centre but he needs to bounce back from last season.
Armia? Who knows. Haven't seen enough at the NHL level to warrant a one-way, IMO, but they probably got a small discount.

Not to excuse Argos fans or lack thereof, but +30 degree weather with humidity near 100% is nearly dangerous. Plus there was a big-name rock concert, and the streets looked like a maze. On 1290 Radio this morning, Dunigan said that it took him 20 minutes to get out the parking lot and he needed a friendly cop even then.
And plenty of very good transit options. Not competing with a single sporting event or team last night either.
When you consider people manage to get to the Dome, at an average of 35K per game, there's no excuse.

Now that LV has got a GM can a Kane trade be far behind?
I assumed that LV was awarded Kane as an expansion gift?
He could spend the entire 2016/17 season there.

Just like last week, I want to them to start playing in the first quarter. Show some spark! Get the crowd into it.

It was very telling when Sheif said he wasn't involved in the negotiations much right until the end. Same is likely true with Trouba.
There is so much we don't know about the negotiations, like what was offered and what was requested.
So much of what happens here may have depended on where the Sheif negotiations went. If that's a starting point, then Trouba could follow really quickly now.
As far as we know, the term and figure has been negotiated and all they're talking now is the timing of the payments.

Myers contract is pretty good. $5.5 per for three more seasons but actual salary is $4, $3.5, $3.
It's a great contract for a budget (not cap) team like the Jets.

I don't think you sign Trouba for more than $5 AAV for 6 years. He has not earned more than that.
Betting that Armia is going to be good is one thing, over paying him by more than 50% does not make any sense. Bridge now and let him earn a contract.
But how are you going to protect the LHD in the expansion draft? I still see Lowry as our 3rd line centre of the future.
Petan - bottom six. Yes, I doubt he'll do much more and I don't see him passing anyone to take a top six spot. Maybe he's more but I doubt the Oilers want more skilled guys that don't have grit. They have too much of that already.
Stafford - bottom six. On the Oilers? Yes. He's not getting in front of Eberle or Poolparty (and they still have Yak - for now). Nice depth third line scorer with the ability to play up if needed.
And again, how would the Oilers protect all these guys?
I don't see the need to add another centre to push Little down to the third line.
Lipon does not deserve to start in the NHL. Not yet. He needs to develop and that's what the A is for. He has a chance to battle Lemieux for that energy depth guy.

Thought I would start this so we could keep it under one topic.
Trouba I'd like to see 8 x 5.75m but likely to see 6 x 5.5m. I don't think he re-signs until just before TC of even into TC.
Armia I'd like to see 3 x 2m but likely to see 2 x 1.25m.
Lowry I'd like to see him traded but likely to see 2 x 1.75. Lowry, Staf and Petan and a first for RNH.
Tanev I'd like to see him play more but likely to see 2 x 1.1m or a bit less? No idea actually...
Lipon I'd like to see him traded to a team that would start him but likely to see 2 x 850k.
Did I miss anyone?
If Trouba only signs for 6 years, I don't see why you would give him $5.5. If you're getting 8 years, I could see an AAV of $5.75. 6 years, under $5.0.
$4.0, $4.25, $4.25, $4.5, $5.5, $6.0 = $4.75M AAV, and realistically, you're trading him by the 2nd or 3rd year rather than losing him for nothing after 6 years.
Why on earth would you give Armia $2.0 AAV? What has he done to earn that much? 2x $1.25 seems reasonable for a bridge.
I don't know why you would be eager to see a young centre who can play on the wing traded, but okay.....
I'm not sure why EDM would trade a bunch of bottom 6 players, that they won't be able to protect, that don't help with their current problems for one of their assets.
Tanev will likely get a 2-year $0.9 to $1.0 deal.
Lipon will start with the Moose. He's a high energy guy. Not sure why you want him traded.

It seems that after every trade in the NHL... somebody rips into Chevy for not making a move for that guy. I don't understand why the Jets have to acquire every single player in the league?
Boy would that make it easier to beat the other teams!!
If we were in the market for a new keeper, which we're not, I would have rather had Reimer.

Staal gets paid a lot to sit on our third line.
