sweep the leg

The max salary LA can keep in a trade is 50%. I wouldn't even do that. LA blew it by not buying him out last season.

Exactly what I was just thinking. Me too. I've read rumours on twitter that Miles' job wasn't a a sure thing in Sask. It makes sense he would follow Hall to Winnipeg.

I don't think so either. He reminds me of Hall Gill, but smaller and a better skater. He's not very good 5 on 5, but he's a good penalty killer and has good size. Teams will take a chance on him for those two attributes.

This sounds familiar. Have you mentioned last year's recruiting before?

I don't think any of the contending teams will be looking to make a deal for Postma, just like none of the bottom feeding teams will likely be looking at Pardy. Overall,

I don't know who all falls into the category of a "Vermette type", but Postma and a pick does not get us Vermette. Unless it's a high pick, in which case it's probably not a great idea. I've been fascinated with Peluso's play over the last few weeks. He's trying so hard to be defensively sound out there. He doesn't always succeed, but boy is he trying, and he's much faster than I would expect from a 4th line slugger. It's got to be awesome having a guy like that in your locker room. IMO the bidding on Vermette will be high. Postma and "a pick" could get us almost any of the available guys, but like you say, what pick do you want to give? IMO Vermette will take more to get than we're willing to offer. Love Peluso. Busts his ass on every shift. He skates well, is a beast on the forecheck, and actually has decent hands. His problem is hockey sense. I agree 100% he'd be a great teammate to have.

That was me. I'm really smart...

I'd love to see Belichick suspended for the Super Bowl. Apparently John Mara is pushing hard to make that happen.

Vermette is a pending UFA. Rumour is he's asking for $6M per on his next deal, which is why he'll almost certainly be dealt at the deadline.

You found outrage on twitter? This changes everything.

It'll take more than that to get him. There's going to be a lot of teams looking at him. Can score at a decent pace and is a very good defensive player. One of the best in the league at faceoffs.

I think they want both, which they'll get. They'll just be spread out over two winters rather than a few weeks.

He can be kind of lazy, but a trade to a legit NHL calibre team might wake him up. He's shown he can play pretty good hockey when there's talent around him.

We'll make a trade for another forward. I'd love to get Joel Ward. Pending UFA, but the Caps are currently in a playoff position so he likely won't be going anywhere. Stafford & Stewart would both be reasonable targets. Both big guys who would fit well on the third line. I don't think anybody important leaves our lineup. If we deal a top dman, it won't be until the summer. I think we try to deal Postma and some picks.

Uh.. I beg to differ on "most other people". Rabid snap-judgment making Winnipeg Sun comment section denizens don't constitute "most people". I have a lot of people I know who follow the jets and for every Hutchinson fan, there is 4 or 5 Pavlevec supporters. You don't think a majority of Jets fans think Hutchinson is our best goalie? I disagree, although I haven't run a poll of my friends to confirm this.

Fantastic news that he'll be back for the game in Winnipeg. I have tickets for that one.

BS penalty by a thin-skinned ref. Buff gives him a dirty look and the guy shits his pants. He knocked the puck away from the linesman when he was bent over to pick it up. The ref saw it and called the penalty.

Buff's penalty at the end of regulation was brutal. That's the kind of crap teenagers in house league pull.

I'd put both Petan and Morrissey in the minors next year, at least to start the season. We're in a position where we don't have to rush them into the lineup.

Nor would I. IMO he'll be a better value than the big names based on a $ / receiving yards basis.

Agreed. I don't think he'll put up 1300-1400 like he did in his prime, but I won't be shocked if he flirts with a 1k season.

I like the way they're using our goalies, mostly b/c it's been working for us. Pavelec has proven that he can't handle the starter's job as a full time gig, and Hutchinson hasn't really proven anything yet. There's no need to push the role on him yet.

Putting those numbers into context would help you sort it out. Pavelec has more starts b/c he began the season as the unquestioned starter. He's now lost that role and is getting fewer starts in a rotation where the other guy is on the opposite trajectory.

His 40 time is better than the db we just signed.
