Looking better: Morrissey - DeMelo Kulikov - Pionk Beaulieu - Poolman Niku, Bitetto healthy extras. Sbisa, Dahlstrom inured. Mike McIntyre

Not a big fan, leads alot with his head. Dangerous player, athletic. Hope he changes his ways here if he sees the field.

Winning might help.

Riiight

I’d take Taylor Hall off their hands.

Flawed or not, you elbowed him quite aggressively in the head risking injury.

With a nice compliment of Canadian receivers.

Looks good on them.

We land Walker we become the new Stampeders of the league. Move aside Stumps.

Holy. Let me try this. I disagree with the sentiment of Poolman being slotted in as a top 3 d based on watching him on the ice, he doesn’t show well to me but assume/hope they know what they are doing with him, maybe we have no other alternatives knowing he’s not a top 3 D but we got no one else at this time, maybe I’m missing something with what he is bringing to the table I’m not seeing. I can do both, it’s called having an open mind but still having an opinion that can change when more information/evidence is presented.

Sorry I confused you. Imo Poolman sucks regardless of his age and if that’s the best we got for the third best D on our team yikes. I was being a bit tongue in cheek with Dumba more of a pie in the sky wish because he would instantly and greatly improve this team. Yes TH is more of a realistic move that could help somewhat. At the end if the day I miss our D core that we had before all these recent changes.

That where you and I disagree. If Poolman is in our top 3 we are in a heap of trouble. Regardless of his age, he’s doesn’t look ready for the NHL and may never be but none of us have a crystal ball to determine that. But of course just my opinion from a random guy on the internet who likes to talk hockey. I assume the coaches see a lot more in him than I do and know exactly what and how to use him. All my opinion is based on me watching him without the benefit of game tape and NHL level expertise like 99.9 percent of us here.

It’s not an either or with JJ is it. Test him out at training camp,preseason games and if he doesn’t perform to the level needed you release him, no?

Poolman is not (yet) a NHL caliber Defenseman. I thought the idea was to develop players in the AHL to potentially get them ready for the NHL, not get them ready for the NHL in the NHL. Captain obvious states we are so bare at this position. Throw Buff’s money at Dumba and be done with it. Or at least pick up ZB.

Boudreau gets fired, Maurice gets an extension. All in the eye of the beholder.

3. He's not that good.

Yup I find, especially in the CFL, that the importance of this position can be at times greatly underrated and underappreciated.

Good to know. I grew up hating the Oilers because we never could get past that dynasty being in the same division no matter how good our Jets were. Every time Gretzky had the puck Jet fans puckered right up it was actually pretty unfair so whenever I see the Oilers struggling it brings a bit of joy to my world.

Being a lifelong Jet fan living in Alberta, you know it's okay to dislike both the Flames and the Oilers. How about Anything But C and E.

To the Oiler faithful the big man on campus is also Leon Draisaitl. Having a banner year but more pressure on him in the next little while to hold the offensive fort till #97 gets back. For the good of the game here's hoping a healthy return for #97 and for the Oilers to lose all their remaining games they have in February while's he out. Sorry @Noeller and @17to85 but living in Sherwood Park Alberta my top 3 favorite NHL teams are as follows: #1 Jets #2 Jets and #3 Jets. 🙂

Keeping ZC upright priority #1.

No middle class in the CFL

With all respect, anyone but Hecht at safety was night and day.

As long as it's not the other Micah (Awe). Can't stand the way he plays.
