  1. You are just a guy on a website who thinks he knows more than the people who actually do it for a living. Sometimes it's fun to pretend but I actually think you truly believe you know more than the pros.
  2. Talbot had a year left when they traded for him and proved he's legit. Darling has played something like 82 NHL games in total and zero as the number 1 guy.
  3. Adding Kyle Connor and maybe a younger D man like Poolman does make the average age younger. Thor Pav Stafford bring the avg age up quite a bit so by removing them and replacing them with younger guys yeah the avg age will drop.
  4. http://www.bluebombers.com/2017/05/06/winnipeg-football-club-looks-bringing-professional-soccer-manitoba/ Interesting. If affordable for an entire family I think it would work as there are tons of soccer fans in this city.
  5. Unavailable because he signed with the NFL. BPL I think.... best player left.
  6. Why? When you can play Canadians elsewhere now. They aren't just OL and receivers anymore
  7. Plus Darling while I like him and hope he does well.... reality is he's never been a starter. His numbers are very hutch like actually after the amount of games he's played. 4 million plus is an overpayment. I hope he does well in Carolina but he's not proven enough to get 4 plus million
  8. Agreed. We use 1 and he's our 5th option. It amazes me when I read things ppl say about JFG for example. Awesome at times invisible at other times... the life of the 5th option maybe 6th if you include the Running Back
  9. Doubt hawks would have traded him in division and while I like Darling, that may be a Pavelec bad contract. Not proven enough to get that much.
  10. Toth lol. Man that guy is the worst "sports" guy in Canada.
  11. Probably more about they gain nothing and take all the risks. But regardless
  12. The Republicons are very much reminiscent of a college style fraternity. They are grown men tho so they are more pathetic than college kids
  13. You blame bettman but reality is the reason they aren't going to Korea is because bettmans bosses including mark Chipman aka the owners, don't want to go. Bettman is just the guy who takes the heat.
  14. Well they didn't stop going to the Olympics because of the world cup because the world cup was around b4. I'd imagine they said no to the Olympics because it's in Korea and not far from there is a crazy little man who is crazy enough to start crap during the winter Olympics. Basically no hockey at all in Korea also so they gain nothing by going they will go to China in 2022 tho.
  15. Draft is Sunday so this is a comment one would almost expect cuz right now he's not a bomber and perhaps never will be.. think he's still our first pick but whether that's 1st 2nd 3rd 4th overall remains to be seen and I'd imagine, could be wrong but perhaps there's a difference in cash If he's drafted 1st 4th or 6th.
  16. Doubt they are the nordiques anytime soon. Normally it's a less obvious team. Think Florida or something like that for QC
  17. The World Championship you mean and he has no say as its not an NHL event
  18. I smoke also but really don't care about the policy at all. It really doesn't bother me. What does tho is people telling me I can't smoke outside on a downtown sidewalk owned by the city. Regardless whatever. Ppl on twitter seem to have more problems with the BS reasons true north used to implement the policy than the policy itself. And those saying they will give up their tickets? Lol at those fools really. Guess smoking outside and getting cheaper beer is more important to them than the hockey game so basically **** those people.
  19. Your theory is wrong. Bottom line there will be no superstars to pick. There will be lots of 3rd and 4th line players and maybe a couple 2nd line guys available but the guys making big money all have no trade or no move clauses and will be protected. But don't kid yourself here if a good player making 5 6 million a year was available they'd be stupid not to pick him. Jets .. buff gets 7.5 Scheif is 6.125 Wheels Around 5 . So Is little 4.5 million is nothing
  20. Yes. They still have to take 30 players 23 man roster so they could take guys who maybe they can trade for picks or something A popular thought is they draft Raanta from the NYR. He's a goalie but because they have 2 draft 2 other goalies they trade him to WPG for lets say a 3rd and prospect who can play in the Ahl or maybe a guy In junior or ncaa or even Russia still
  21. Malkin is also a center tho and ovi is a winger. Bit of a difference. Like I said tho Ovi isnt the only problem there. Laine is not similar to ovi at all actually. Minus the obvious one timer but Laine at 18 was more of a playmaker than ovi ever was.
  22. Russian NHL players... you just can't build a team around and be successful cuz they don't care enough. It's how it is. Ppl can talk malkin but without Sid he's not as good. Russians don't grow up dreaming of winning Stanley cups. Canadians Americans even Swedes and Finns do. Ovi isn't the only problem tho in Washington and that contract is untradable
  23. BTW Vegas signed a Russian. Weird that the insider didn't report It.
  24. He was never really an insider tho. He was just a guy with a radio show pretty much. You put him on this pedestal for some reason but reality is he broke as many stories about the Jets as you or I did.
