I'm not a big fan of stretch Stanley but I hope we get more than a bench warmer for him or a high mileage defenceman......

Certainly there are situations where it becomes too expensive and would be the death knell of a gm to enter deals where it's too expensive and do not make sense BUT you just gave one like the Dubois move...What I don't agree with is giving up the 'probably assets' you mentioned to make that move to obtain Chychrun....We were apparently offering more than Ottawa (what that consisted of would only be known by Chevy) BUT it had to be significant....and yet the deal failed.....Are you telling me that Ottawa is a better market than Winnipeg and that's the reason it didn't work , because if it is, I can guarantee that 'berg' doesn't have anything on the Peg...So we were willing to give up assets and still came up empty....Something went wrong and I hope the gm has answers as to why it ended that way

I agree with the 'stacked deck' comment BUT in reality if we are only depending on the draft/develop and retain....then we're hooped from ever becoming a Cup winner.....There isn't one club from cellar dweller to the echelon teams that don't try and strengthen through trade.....IF it's beneficial and improves your club ....you do it or risk the label of 'not a team willing to go the extra mile to succeed'....Certainly there's a point where acquiring a player through a trade does not equate to a benefit monetarily, or make sense finanacially BUT you have to be prepared to do everything you can to improve a club like the Jets are presently in the standings..... or risk being out of the winners circle forever

AND if that's the best ...time to move on....We're not part of the NHL to give a guy a job in perpetuity ...produce or move along....We're stagnant and that's a reason why players see us as a dead end....New blood needed and there comes a time when change is needed

Time to have a really good look at Chevy's future with this club................................??

Big movement expected by Chevy shortly......bowel that is ...it'll be craptacular

With regard to Sayles......Walters definitely said he wasn't going to give Sayles his ask and let him walk...I was not impressed with Sayles and didn't believe he should get a raise of any kind so I can agree with Walters call on this one....To say we haven't got a replacement this early in the game is a little pessimistic ....how do we know what is coming down the road....I believe in this club finding talent....it's been proven time and time again.......have a little faith

Announcing Stove in that lineup is a little premature ain't it...I thought he was done

Show us the proof Ballsy or shut your big gob....Where the hell does this guy get off slandering us.....this coming from a club that used to hide players in a house rented by the club...This guys name should be Bull$hit Ballsy

have to ask his doctor....being from B.C. that's gonna be a chore

Not the one point you lucked out on us with, I hope.......let's not go there

TO left scrambling now....unless they can make a trade which seems unlikely...Repeating as Cup chumps....errrr I mean champs will be a feat....We'll be seeing someone else in the Cup game in 23' I figure....GOBIGBLUE....Is my name'homer'??....you bet

welllll....if the punter turns out to be anything like Schoen in the talent dept.....we are on to something

wasn't much room in the phone booth........you could hardly turn around

Most of the offseason 'action' or 'non-action' in saskabush has been to fill their inevitable end in 23' AND that's to secure the basement this year and the certainty of cleaning house at it's end....It's all right there

or a fridge.....There's gotta be a dl of note out there and I trust our scouting to ferret one out....Look for a truck load of appliances in tc

Depth and more depth.....plus one helluva blocker....gawd damn I luv it....This receiving corps is going to give the opposition fits.....I just have to go back to some of those passes Sheed picked off the top of his boots and extended drives....He belongs here with Zack and the guys ...I am as glad as he is to see him continue his career here....You the man Mr. Bailey ....true blue to the bone

TO.....can only hope........................Bomberland NO 1

Sure would be nice to have him NOW....BUT you're probably right and the right move would be to wait.......Giving up Dobson and a first rounder is awful expensive....or another player of his caliber doesn't work for me

I for one would not have a problem bringing him home......We seem to be very lucky with homegrowns

As far as penalties go for exceeding the cap you are correct, except you forgot to mention that the penalty also includes losing your draft pic IF the trangression is severe....The monetary loss is laughable ....losing a shot at a possible up and coming star could come back to bite you.....I know that the draft has the handle..'crapshoot' attached to it but sometimes the dice can come up a winner....GM'S do not like losing pic's ....that's a fact

Moore for sure......Nevis??? was pretty good when he was here last but that position being a grinder....I'd go with the younger guy...Moore

Don't think Sayles was the answer ...he definitely wasn't a Richardson...I think we still need a tough nose tackle .....which I believe is still on Walters agenda

I remember reading somewhere ....or was it on the tsn panel, that Bailey is a workout nut.....Keeps himself in fantastic shape and as fas as I can recall hasn't been sidelined with any dings whatsoever.....Agudosi on the other hand....Even though I like the guy , we really haven't seen enough of him cuz of injury

Maybe Bailey adjusts his asking price to fit in....like others have done for this club...Seems no other clubs have come up with what he's asking , at least up till now....I think if Walters comes close he 'might' remain in bluengold...Interesting scenario playing out here
