    *report comes out he was stabbed in a fight downtown*

    "Naw, it was vague. He wasn't right"

    Lol okay. 

    I think you're arguing on the wrong side here hahaha.  If we're to take that thread that seriously, I guess you did stab him? 😉

    Also there is a bathroom attendant who looks like Colonel Sanders, forgot to mention that

    La Roca in english translates to The Rock.  So either Dwayne Johnson is involved or everyone's getting locked up outside San Francisco when this is all over.

    So was this all about screwing over Trouba and his ****-for-brains agent?  I hope not as that's just bad business.  I don't get it, why not let teams talk to Trouba and get a deal done?  Instead we get this crap deal instead?  Is Chevy slipping?  Or is there more to the story?

    On my mind as well..Trouba as a rental hurt us big time.And I still don’t get the hurry, given the return now was garbage anyway. 

    Why not qualify him - at only a few mill more than the unsigned Pionk btw - and deal with this all at the deadline when team’s are desperate? Couldn’t get a below avg defender and low 1st rounder then? Pffft. 

    Whomever we take at 20 likely doesn’t make a big impact for several years. By that time we’ll be a lottery team at this rate.

    You get hosed on a Trouba deal so the follow-up move is dealing you’re best possession forward? That forward who’s signed for 1/2 of eternity at a reasonable cap hit? That forward who’s best friends with Laine? 

    Christ almighty. Can we confirm the Kevin Cheveldayoff of 2011-2018 is still in fact employed by the Jets??

    Well that’s an underwhelming return for Trouba. That feels like a deal that could have been done in panic late Thurs night, not the Monday before the draft. Sure doesn’t seem like we tried very hard to maximize return. Where’s Trouba’s long term extension, should have been agreed to as part of trade. 

    A bottom pairing D and our own draft pick back? Hope they don’t strike out again and do that $6 x 6 for Myers. That combo would be Chia level bad. 

    I feel like Jets fans are going to miss #8 more then they realize. I also feel like teams should stop drafting Overhardt clients. 

    ...Trouba wouldn’t talk extension before trade, so I guess Chevy’s hands were tied. 

    Screw Overhardt..

  23. Jets Prospects

    Thanks to a game built around stickhandling, the Jets have a tantalizing prospect in Nathan Smith

    Quote

    For many players, a sub-point per game 20-year-old USHL season, average skating and size, and erratic decision-making would hardly register on the prospect radar. But Smith’s not an ordinary prospect. It’s visible in his, quite frankly, ridiculous stick skills and his atypical hockey background.

    Smith was born, raised and trained in Florida, making him the first player of that status to be drafted into the NHL. He started with street hockey and then roller hockey, before converting to ice hockey later than many.

    Two seasons ago, in Smith’s first year of draft eligibility, he was playing High School in Florida. Then, he went took a massive step up to the USHL and was instantly Cedar Rapids’ best player.  

    The Jets took a gamble Smith, banking on him continuing that upward development curve. Smith will have time to do it. He’ll join Minnesota State University next season, reunited with his Mitchell High linemate, Lucas Sowder.
