Snippet from the Athletic looks like no worries with Mcgroarty...... A league source tells The Athletic that this is not the expectation for McGroarty: McGroarty’s decision was made with his NHL development and an eventual Jets roster spot in mind. The opportunity to increase his role as a third-year player in Michigan is clear; with fellow stars like Brindley, Duke and Nazar signing in the NHL, McGroarty will be counted on to drive results. There’s also the potential of being named captain as Jacob Truscott just completed his fourth year. Meanwhile, Winnipeg is a deep team, particularly up front and on the wings. Sean Monahan and Tyler Toffoli are the only 2024 UFAs on the roster, which already leaves Cole Perfetti, the No. 10 pick in 2020, on the outside looking in. With fellow 2022 first-round pick Brad Lambert and 2021 second-round pick Nikita Chibrikov making big strides with Manitoba in the AHL this season, it’s difficult to look at the Jets roster and see immediate NHL playing time. Whereas Nazar has already played (and scored) in the NHL for Chicago and Brindley will make an immediate debut for Columbus, McGroarty doesn’t have that same runway in Winnipeg.

TO pick your poison, Leaf nation can you say First round failure? Again? 😉 -
So yeah IF he doesn't sign after the end of next year ( or indicates he won't) we trade him like Philly had to with Gauthier. What else can the Jets do?
-
Says he has a great relationship with the Jets including a lot of respect for management. Not sure how you read that he is not signing with the Jets eventually?
-
Wasn't Makar added to the Avalanche as a raw rookie in the playoffs ? I know it's a stretch but Mcgroarty looks pro hockey ready,certainly has the size and skill. 😊
-
Any chance with his talent and grit we could add him to the Jets? I know they never rush rookies ( which is a good thing) but Mcgroarty looks like a beast...

Such a tough first round i know we spanked the Avs but that is a tough first round,and Dallas gets to face VGK adding as usual for the playoffs... even Van facing Nash is really tough...a couple of good teams out early... -

Demko coming back should help but yeah facing the Preds nucks have all the pressure. I would not want to face Sarros. Not a fan of ethier team so hopefully it's a short brutal series! 😄

Game 75 : The Emperor Has No Clothes
bb1 replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
No surprise Oilers never do the Jets a favour...great Game Jets but i am not a fan of Morrissey and Pionk paired together. -
I can't believe i missed this British Tv show for so many years, if this has been talked about forgive but if you were like me and missed this Gem called Peep Show and need a laugh check it out. It's crazy and weird and flat out one of the best comedy sitcoms out there...

You would think with his resume there would be other opportunities with another college in the US. Hell i believe even a big high school coach in the US makes good coin no? Just seems like a step back ,but maybe there is a promise of HC position like it has been stated here... -

Game 71 : @ It Will All Come Out In The WASH
bb1 replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
I am not bailing on the Jets yet. Brutal schedule lately with weird afternoon games and definitely a let down game against New Jersey. IF we do collapse again though i really think we need to review Chevy and can he really judge his team in a objective way? But i still think this team is much better than last year...🤞 -

The offseason..aint it grand? 😉 What we have here is a failure to communicate....
-
Vegas loading up as usual, hard to pick between VGK and TO as the most disliked team...😉
-
Yea i think he could of spelled off a Dman here and there and would be better than Stanley as a fill in. Not sold on our starting 6 to last for a long run in the playoffs.
-
Was hoping we would land him, TO so many reasons to hate...
