I feel sorry for Bowness ....who had things going pretty good at the start of the year....I'm pretty sure he thought he'd get some backing for a playoff run BUT the gm didn't deliver ....The time was now when we have the talent to do something in the playoffs but Chevy couldn't get it done....Is it 100 percent his fault ....no....but the effort made was poor to nonexistent to give the current team a boost .....I have a bad feeling this club will now slip right out of the playoff picture AND if that happens a review of the club from top to bottom has to be in order ...IF TrueNorth sees no alternative but to keep the current gm in place ....then I don't like the future of this club going forward....Slip....slip slidin away

........Which brings us to, and I know this is hockey BUT why is an NHL team being considered in failed Atlanta before Quebec city......IF the Nordiques would've been marketed properly , I think they'd still be there....We need more Canadian teams than we do another American club.......Guess the powers that be in the nhl just can't wrap their heads around another Canadian expansion

Fantastic News.......going to be a blast

Well you shoudn't be too disparaged as a Jet fan......we have all kinds of cap room.....one star counting the days till he joins the Habs and another wanting a trade out of town.....and the rumoured news that Atlanta is getting another nhl club .....geez ...could it be the return of the Thrashers et al Jets

My gawd you can't even crack a joke about Quebec without having somebody getting their shorts in a knot....Cripes if that little suggestion about renaming a team ...said in a jokingly kind of way is offensive....whoah....My brother-in-law is from Trois Reviere and he would've laughed at that suggestion...Too bad he wasn't still with us today ....he'd probably say ....lighten-up ....

Long as he doesn't insist that the team be renamed the Montreal Quebecois

So true......nonetheless...a well travelled vet. should help....Not a long term solution ....I hope we're not done.....yet

Yes.....I want to feel like we're a beaten down club forever....AND we'll never be a Cup winner .... cuz we're such a 'never want to be a destination' club ...and we are just plain no good as a place to be with no future....Bring out the whip now cuz I need a few lashes....We are definitely a bugger for punishment....and deserve nothing......................... (just some of the feeling I get from some of the exhilarating comments about us)

Dumped the Duke and took a flyer on a Walker.....sounds like riders .....team of destiny for sure......destiny dumpster.....I wonder what Harris is thinking now......something like ...'what the hell have I done ...a million ducats wasn't enough'

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
