Atomic

Heard that a million times about different players but the fact is some guys just can't put the puck in the net in the NHL. It's not a coincidence or bad luck that Armia has only 10 points in 50 NHL games. I wouldn't expect Armia to start scoring anytime soon, he's just not that type of player. He works hard and I like him as a bottom six effort/PK guy but that's all he's ever going to be.

Is it? So failing miserably is okay as long as you look like you're trying?

Of everything Trump said, I found it interesting that Hilary did not deny planting people at his rallies to incite violence. She also never denied that the WikiLeaks emails were real, just deflected it into Russia trying to influence the election. I swear if it was anyone but Trump, Hilary would be getting crushed. But he is just plain incompetent.

"Putin wants you in because you're a puppet" "No you're the puppet" "No you are" And America circles the drain....

Chiarot can recover from mistakes? Does being one step behind the play and swinging your stick wildly count as recovering?

I'd leave Thorburn out but definitely put Stuart back in. Chiarot has been terrible.

26, I think. He becomes a UFA in 2020-21.

http://www.generalfanager.com This was the best site for salary cap information and it's gone! Its creator hired away by Las Vegas. Very disappointing. It took me awhile to find it after capgeek shut down (I think someone here referred me to General Fanager). So what's the go-to for NHL salary information now? I've used http://www.rosterresource.com/nhl-winnipeg-jets/ but it's not great for salary info.

He's not under contract

Hasn't shown anything that indicates he should be anywhere near the second line.

I see Armia as a 4th liner that can potentially play 3rd line due to injuries, etc. Just doesn't have that consistent scoring touch but I have been pleasantly surprised by his effort level/checking ability.

I don't know if any of you are from Ottawa or if you've ever been there but it's a city full of total DUDS. I don't know if it's all the politicians or what, but it is the least fun city with the least fun people. I've been tempted to revise that opinion since the revival of the REDBLACKS but this just reinforces it for me. I spent a significant amount of time in Ottawa and it was just.... boring.

******* NAILED IT

Well yeah but we're talking about depth here... Nobody has a high end second line centre toiling away on the third line. Well maybe some of the top teams might but I don't think they're eager to let them leave.

Could Trump be a sleeper agent injected into the Republican party by Democrats? Because I believe literally anybody could have run against Hilary and won. Anyone but Trump.

Continuality breeds successionality.

People like to think athletes are above the temptations that other people face but money and fame do not make you into a new superhuman that is invulnerable to all the vices faced by other people. My favourite is the old "Wow if I was making millions I wouldn't <insert silly action>".

I don't know but it happened.

TJ Heath and next year's first overall pick can answer that question for you....

5 years seems like a little much. I think I would do 4 for Walters and 3 for O'Shea. I'm not sure how anyone can look at 2014-2015 and call them "almost complete failure." We've seen that. That's Tim Burke, that's Jeff Reinebold, that's Jim Daley and that's 2012-2013 Joe Mack. 2014-15 didn't go that well but they definitely built towards what we're seeing now. I know people will hate reading this, but you put Medlock on the 2015 team and they're likely playoff-bound. Who could predict that Hajrullahu would fall off the cliff like he did? I look at 2014-15 as a detox from a life of alcoholism. It looked like things were getting worse but the process was still working.

I'm not sure our C depth is as bad as it looks right now. I'm not a Burmi fan. I think he is taking a spot from someone who could do a little better. I'm talking about my man Chase De Leo. Or possibly even Quinton Howden, who I'm not sure got a fair shake in training camp and has shown he can compete in the NHL. Or COULD we do better with one of the kid lines from late last season? De Leo - Copp - Armia? Here are the line rushes this morning as reported by Free Press Jeff Hamilton: Laine - Scheifele - Wheeler Ehlers - Perreault - Stafford Connor - Burmi - Armia Matthias - Lowry - Tanev

Who's panicking?

Should we place bets on whether someone shows up to IGF in a Riders jersey?

Not so simple if you've already paid for Jets tickets that day. Lots of people who go to Jets games are the same people that go to Bombers games.

I couldn't agree more! He was awesome on the mic, I was really feeling it.
