No one would have said 'boo' if Chevy didn't give up so much to get Stanley. Every analysis says that Stanley is a high-rish, high-reward pick and that these guys usually don't pan out... Johansen and Clague will both be in the NHL before Stanley. Jets need D prospects.

So his biggest game was without Nichols. And Nichols/Stafford best game was against the bombers...

Wow. Blown away! Good for ol' KG... Roosevelt-Edwards-Collins-Carter-Bagg could make him look good - or go off the rails by game three...

I'd agree with this if Stafford didn't get elevated to first line this year and Thorburn didn't end up on the second line last year...

So just to be clear... Denmark gets 8 TDs and 700 yards in 11 games... But we sign Stafford because of his 'chemistry' with Nichols (700 yards and 9 TDS in 18 games) and then a hack like Lankford...

Could have drafted Lucas Johansen and Kyle Clague with the two picks wasted on this guy.

That's a long contract if that fresh start doesn't work... If Pavs lights it up, offer him another two years at $3.5 mill as your 1A and Helle two year bridge at $2.5 mill. Otherwise, try for James Reimer in off-season - leaves you with another $1m to top up Helle

Agree on this one but I'd be really shocked if Wally let's him walk.

I can't see Hamilton shaking things up too much... Really think Glenn is starting for Sask by Labour Day I also think Burris make a surprise announcement tomorrow that he has re-signed for two years. !!

As usual, he's ignoring corsi and scoring chances and inserting 'grit'. I'm sure he thinks Petan and Ehlers are too small to be on the same line. Same with leaving Trouba off the powerplay and with promoting Thorbs instead of Ehlers last year, bumping Burmi up to second line this year, giving Morrissey zero special teams time, etc etc etc Petan will eventually force his way up the lineup... and then we'll all wonder why it took so long.

Wonder if Walters pursues Greenwood... and use Waggoner as his backup.

Hey I like Korey Sheets... and you guys have like $400k in salary cap space... get er done!

Next up Korey Sheets!

Well, let's hope Stafford has a 'mere flesh wound' then.

Weird, it seemed like you were implying that Laine was tough and Petan was fragile. But if it was me, I'd hold Laine out as long as possible... Still think this season is a write off and why risk rushing him back. Let him make his return debut at the all-star game.

You're about as unoriginal as it gets, man.

... Hence the 'day-to-day' quote. Very perceptive.

Gonna be sweet when he finally makes the Jets and gets to play four minutes a game with Thorburn.

They already have Roosevelt who is a better receiver. Seems like strange use of cap space.. especially with Collins and Edwards looking good last year too. At least, we can sign Mayo again after TC.

His fancy stats are good even without Crosby... very similar to Petan if you ask me. Tough to maintain that shooting percentage though.

Copley has had two and a half seasons in the AHL and is still just getting a look. Comrie is 21 and is fresh out of junior. Give the guy a chance to develop... yes, he could be better than Helle but why not wait until he's 23-24 to find out. Like call him up at the tail end of the season for a couple games if we're totally out of the playoffs and there's no pressure.

They called him up because their starting goaltender is a train wreck. Copley is here for a handful of games until Allen is ready again... then they will send him back to keep developing. Besides, according to your logic, his .828 save percentage means he should be sent back to the minors tonight. Right?

Maurice will never do it - he wants some 'sand' on the first line... some good stone hands grit.

I know this is a joke. But the sad thing is that, I paused before laughing... like I could actually see Maurice doing this.

Enstrom getting beaten down out there. Chevy needs to find a waiver wire D or something... can't keep hiding Stuart and Postma for basically entire games.
