I listened to 97 for a bit this morning. It's a little too "classic" for me. Basically sounds like 92 did right when they switched to classic rock.

Those teams aren't even supposed to be filled in yet!! Dammit who is butchering the 2015 draft page???

As far as syndicated shows go, Gino Reda actually runs a good show where he talks about junior hockey prospects. He will have interviews with guys like Morrissey and Petan, and he'll have Craig Button on talking about prospects. I think they run it at noon on Sundays when there is no football.

Vermette... Winnik... Stewart... sure is looking like a soft trade market this season.

Just put on "Big 97.5" and they are playing Under My Thumb by Rolling Stones. Just happens to be one of my favourites so they win this round. This also marks the return of Jay Richardson to Winnipeg radio as he is doing the morning show along with Jolene Lebsack.

If we truly switched third rounders in the Kromah trade then that would mean we do not have pick 20. We traded it for 26, which we just traded. Hence, no third round pick.

My radio use is mostly dominated by TSN 1290 honestly. But even that is generally just when I'm in the car.

Come on man. Getzlaf at that price is asinine. He hasn't shown to be a 150k guy in a awhile.. Let alone 200k.. I'm not saying he is worth it. I'm just saying you can't look at it in a vacuum. What does a 150k Canadian receiver look like? That's Cory Watson's salary and Getzlaf has been far and away better than Watson every single year. What does one expect from a 150k Canadian receiver? All Canadian starters are making six figures and Getzlaf is at worst a top 3 Canadian receiver in the league. Top 3 Canadians at any position are pulling in 200k+.

He used our 4 draft picks to take Mike Morris, Adam Bestard, Peter Quinney, and Thaine Carter. If those names aren't familiar, there's a pretty good reason. They were terrible picks. Some of that is shared with Taman, as he traded some of those 2009 picks. Kelly let Gauthier, Koch, Picard and Goodspeed walk in free agency. I know Goodspeed isn't a NI, but if I don't mention him, Kelly's "I think we can re-sign all four!" doesn't quite make sense. Some of that is shared with Taman, as he could have extended these guys earlier. Kelly claimed he was going to do a better job of hanging on to our draft picks than Taman ever did. As I recall, we were still missing a pick in the 2013 draft from one of Kelly's many traded picks. None of that is shared with Taman. You'd have to do a pretty comprehensive essay to convince me Kelly added anything to this team other than bloated bombast, including the area of NI talent. I feel like when he said "Mike Kelly added to it", he means he added to the problem, not to our NI depth. But I could be wrong.

Not many Canadian receivers going over 1000 yards these days and Getzlaf has done it a couple times. It's all supply and demand. Where are the good Canadian receivers? Few and far between.

Winnipeg radio blows

Shaking glands? Which glands? Mammary glands? That sly dog.

Maybe **** LeBeau liked Ian Wild and he's not there anymore so the team is looking for different players. Who knows.

You and me both. **** the Flyers!

Harrison's play in front of his own net over the last few has made me wonder if getting him for a 6th wasn't a robbery after all. I've been thinking the same thing. He is awfully careless with the puck in our end and seems to panic a bit. Makes for a decent 7th defenceman though.

Did we make any other trades with Hamilton? The 26th pick is the second last of round 3 so it would have originally been their pick. There was Aprile for Bucknor but there were no picks reported as a part of that trade.

I see 2, 11, 15, 20, 29, 38, and 46. Traded 35 (which we acquired from Sask in the Neufeld trade) to Hamilton for Brohm. Traded 55 to the Argos for Portis. We just traded 26 and I have no idea where we got it.

Love the trade. Not so sure the Riders will move a receiver. They may be looking at starting 3 Canadian receivers. I'm convinced we will land at least one of Heenan or Holmes. We may even wildly overpay, but to me it looks like Walters isn't going to take no for an answer. Where the heck did we get the 26th overall pick?

When you're dealing with taxpayer dollars, politicians must ensure they are transparent and getting value for money. It really amazes me how some people just don't understand this concept. But that's fine, I'll continue to be the bad/unreasonable guy here. It really amazes me how you still don't get it. When you are wasting millions of dollars just to put on a show for the unreasonable observer, that's not getting value for money. That's bureaucratic waste. Bureaucratic process is the worst enemy of progress and innovation. Sometimes the right choice is obvious and you don't have to jump through ten hoops to know it.

Couldn't agree more with the editorial. Bang on. Bowman is basically going through the motions and potentially wasting millions of dollars just to satisfy all the gbill's out there.

Rather middling player when he was here. Methinks he's simply flourishing under Jones. Not too upsetting. Well he only played 2 games last season, so "flourishing under Jones" might be a bit of a stretch.

Gotta love the way that whole line is playing. Did you know that with 5 goals, Thorburn has more goals in one season than he's ever scored for the Jets before? Although he had more with the Thrashers.

Oh yeah and Wojt was never a backup this season, he was injured. He only played in one game.

Personally I just hate Giguere and would have a hell of a hard time cheering for him as a Bomber. And Ottawa certainly could sign both Sinopoli and Giguere... why not?

Pavelec's worst game of the season. Looked like he was half asleep out there.
