They sell green Jets jerseys as well

I'm no Pavelec defender but that's not even slightly accurate.

Gives us 3 dangerous lines. I like it

We'll never see him.

Not as much as they would sting if they were regulation losses.

Yeah but really... The only teams that are actually close to the Jets are the Flames, Sharks and Wild. The Flames just lost Giordano, possibly for the season. That would kill their chances. And the Sharks seem to be falling out of it. There is even word that they are shopping players like Niemi. Doesn't sound like they are gearing up for a postseason run. I'm confident that as long as the Jets don't completely blow it over these last 19 games, they will make it.

Jets played a good game against one of the best teams in the league. They lost in the shootout so they lose the point but they played well enough to have a chance to win. This game gives me hope that they aren't going to just fold and fall out of playoff position.

Frolik could play top 6 minutes for a lot of teams in the league. Not hard to imagine a team like Edmonton or Columbus throwing 4 million+ at him. I love Frolik but can we afford to spend 4 million on him for 4 or 5 years? I'm not sure.

Seems unlikely that he will be able to play up to that contract.

I like this a lot more than I would have liked acquiring Bergenheim. Nice move. Maybe we can even keep him around after this season if he shows well... he is only 26 and would come at a reasonable price.

I disagree. I think the Jets are good enough to make it but not good enough to beat Nashville or Anaheim in the first round. And neither of those guys would change that, IMO.

I read the whole thing. He certainly makes a convincing case. Kinda have to take him at his word that the data says what he says it does and of course all the technical details, but it is very interesting. By far the most plausible theory I have seen.

There's been a lot of talk about Bergenheim but I never really bought into it... I'm glad we didn't give up a third round pick for him. We'll see how he does in Minnesota but I'm not expecting much.

Can't see any draft picks stepping in this season and starting right away and making a difference. Could easily see a top ranked receiver or defensive lineman stepping in and playing right away. Any players good enough to step in and play right away are the same players that will attract NFL interest. And I doubt any receiver will be good enough that we're switching our ratio and only playing two imports. If he's that good, that just means JFG is back on the sidelines. OK well you're the expert I guess.

Did you even read my post? I'd argue we have 8 legit Canadian starting options. Lol yes I read it but I didn't need to read it because I have my own opinion on our Canadian situation thanks. And we don't have 8 legit starting Canadian options, we have 6. Hurl or Newman MIGHT be capable of starting but they haven't shown that yet. Thomas and Brown are rotational players at best. Having enough Canadians to start is again coming down to hope, because its definitely not a sure thing. God forbid Matt Bucknor or Rory Kohlert get injured because we will be in some trouble. Our Canadian depth has not improved by as much as you seem to think. It's still in rough shape.

Still the same problem we had last year, IMO. No legit 7th Canadian starter. If Hurl can't be an every down starter then we are in trouble.

Well we already have 2 NI DE/STer that has done better than him. Louie Richardson and Ivan Brown. Looking at Richardson's weight - 225lb, is that accurate? That weight is for well suited for a LB and not for DE, correct? He has always been listed at 225 and I've always thought that was much too low. He looks a lot bigger.

Yeah that's what I said!!

Burmi can't play in the NHL this season and there doesn't seem to be much hope that he will ever play in Winnipeg again. He is an RFA so they should just move him and get an asset back because he isn't going to sign here.

Elimimian, Wild, McCoil, Reed... Even Marcellus Bowman came in and started all year and played pretty well. Lots of examples.

I almost feel like jasper is a bot of some kind.

Yeah

Linebacker, especially middle linebacker, seems to be one of the easier spots to recruit for and have the new guy step in right away. Lots of examples of American linebackers who came in and had success right away. Barrin Simpson is one, off the top of my head. JC Sherritt would be another.
