So he has to be up in the box, but can be on the headsets?

I'd pass. Gardiner is signed for 2 years then a UFA, and really wouldn't be equitable replacement for Trouba in the short term or long term. Soshnikov was undrafted, already 22 years old, and has a grand total of 11 NHL games under his belt.

He completely disappeared after the election. Went into City Hall and hid, has barely made a peep.

Also read on HFBoards that the Jets let Jacob's brother go after the season. Who was really only given a job to watch over his brother. Writing was on the wall for this by both sides at the end of last season.

Twitter has been pretty entertaining tonight.

I don't think the debate would have had any effect on Trump supporters, Hillary supporters or undecided. Whatever position you were before, I think that debate would only emphasize your position. Didn't see anything to change people's allegiance or gain the undecided vote.

He did last May. This is his next card to play.

Reports that they have three suspects in custody. http://globalnews.ca/news/2962027/one-man-dead-after-calgary-nightclub-shooting/?sf36912310=1

Trouba will sit. Don't see this getting resolved anytime soon. How the Jets do coming out of the gate may determine who blinks first. Then again the Jets play in front of a sold out building every night. And right now, the fan base is on the side of management. They will also want to send a message to future potential holdouts.

Illegal Curve has an article up with audio and video of reactions from Jets players. Perreault seems to be the most vocal. http://illegalcurve.com/2016/09/25/winnipeg-jets-players-react-to-jacob-trouba-trade-request/ And Little

Picks for this week need to be in by Friday @ 7:30 PM.

What? Why Rod. Why?

Poor Drew.

It is interesting they have Pavelec and Hellebuyck in the same group. Would have thought they'd have Pavs, Hutch, and Helle each in a separate group.

At least the September 30th game is a pre-season game. Not a big loss.

I've been taking a closer look at the Jets 2016 schedule today because we are having our ticket draft for our seats tonight. The Jets really got a horrible schedule this year. Home game against the Kings, Sunday November 13th @ 2PM. Same time / day as the CFL Semi Final playoff game. (Playoff games are at 12 and 3:30 that day, so if the Bombers are in a semi final game, there is a conflict) Jets home game against Nashville on Sunday November 27th @ 5PM. That happens to be the same date the Grey Cup is played. Start time 5:30 PM. The semi-final game I can mostly overlook, but why would the NHL schedule any home game for the Canadian teams at the same time as the Grey Cup? There is a lot of tradition amongst Canadians in terms of Grey Cup parties and the like. Also 2 of the other people we share our Jets seats with are the same people I have my Bomber tickets with. The Jets don’t have any weekend night games until February. These are usually the games I go after first as the atmosphere in the arena is usually the best.... Fair number of weekend afternoon games (team has historically been very flat for those games) and lots of weeknight games. I completely blame Sportsnet for this... #FirstWorldProblems

I'm curious, if we don't win a playoff game, you still let O'Shea walk? Or is it a combination of some of those things? If you would have asked me at the beginning of the season what would it have taken to get an extension, my answer would have been making the playoffs.

Fair enough. At this point I would expect us to go .500 the rest of the way. Lose against Calgary. Beat Edmonton. Split with BC and Ottawa. That would give us a record of 11 - 7. 12 - 6 would be fantastic, 10 - 8 would be "acceptable:. Anything less would be disappointing at this point.

For those not wanting to extend O'Shea, what would have to happen between now and the end of the season for you to NOT want to extend him?

Traded for a neg list player.
