Goalie

Lol a 1st and hall? Doubt it. Eberle tho

Happy Holidays. Be safe

Oilers might make the playoffs this year. They have the luxury of being in a pretty weak division. Jets last in central would be 3rd I believe in the Pacific

Matthews would have been the 2nd overall pick behind mcdavid this year. He's a legit generational talent.

You did. They hired former argos receiver coach... Elizondo or something. lol.

Rumors are also the way trades get started. a pretty reliable source says the Oilers are calling about Buff and apparently, they aren't on his no trade list... Buff seems like a guy who would put places like Toronto or Montreal, NYR, Philly, places like that on his no trade list, the big market places, he seems to like the small market teams, also doesn't hurt that Edmonton like Winnipeg is known for having some good outdoors stuff... Buff lives on Lake of the Woods, he's a Canadian at heart, an outdoors type of guy. I'll bet people would be surprised to learn the places on Buffs no trade list, i believe it's only 5 places and i'd be willing to bet just about anything that those 5 places are very big markets.

It will also depend on other things 2, Let's just say we get the 1st overall pick this year... Auston Matthews is the no brainer pick, He's a center Matthews,Scheif as 1 2 center moving to the future would be very nice, where does that drop little? 3rd line center? Wing? I dunno. Lots of variables to take in to account... Crazier things have happened but say we pick 1st and by some luck, with the buff or ladd trade or enstrom trade, we manage to get another top 3 or top 5 pick and we take a guy like Matthew Tkachuk. Man in a perfect world, that's what happens... Matthews and Tkachuck this year... Then you can reunite Tkachuk,Matthews and Roslovic... You can go Ehlers,Scheif,Wheeler.. You can bump Perreault down to the third line with Lowry and ?? 4th line of Lemieux,Copp,Lipon. LHD is still an issue but... If you move Myers for Hamonic, Buff gets traded.... Trouba,Hamonic as a 1 2 RHD group is nice The LHD group is weak but.....Morrissey and maybe in a buff or ladd deal you get a guy like Theodore from Anaheim or a Werenski from CBJ or something. Always could pick up a LHD man during free agency too. You know, the luxury of being a Canadian team, we don't really need to WIN NOW.. it would be nice but.... we can do a rebuild of sorts and be fine... All we really need is that 1 superstar and that's why i think tanking this year... trade ladd,buff, enstrom etc... in the future, it would be for the best. I'd love to have a young team who will be good for a long time, i can deal with sucking for a year or 2 or 3... that's fine with me and i'm willing to bet most jets fans feel the same, if we suck for a couple years but in 3 years are a legit playoff contender instead of a bubble team, it's worth it.

Well, you got Buff in there and I'm not sure that i will say 100 percent but i'm 99 percent sure he won't be a Jet for very much longer.... Lots of those guys are prospects.... some will turn out, some won't... Roslovic on the 4th line seems wrong, the guy has #1 or #2 center or RW written all over him. That D core looks absolutely awful.. Chiarot on the second pair? Guy looks awful on the 3rd pair this year... Not sure his ceiling is as high as some thought it would be... It's really hard to look to the future and guess what the roster will look like... It's actually impossible... So many Variables really... What if we get the 1st overall pick this year? Where's Josh Morrissey, why are you so high on Niku and Kostalek? They were late late round picks, if 1 of them makes the NHL, that's a win... They both probably won't. Wheres Lowry? He's gonna be here a while... Where's Lipon? He's a guy that will probably be on the big club next season. Perreault? Not sure the Jets will sign him when his contract is up... why keep him yet no wheeler or little there?

So true. Penton has gone down hill fast. Very jaded, probably hanging out with Friesen 2 much. It's a shame cuz when Penton isn't being an overly negative guy, he's actually pretty good. I tend to find that the Metro writer (i believe it's bauming actually) is the best one of them all right now. The Metro is a very good paper too. Cuts out all the bs and just basically prints facts. Really solid actually. I believe Bauming is the guy that writes the bombers articles there.

Some rumors out there that the Oilers are very interested in Buff and are talking to the Jets about him. Not sure what it would take but... 2016 1st for sure and then what do they add? Cuz trust me, they add... Not interested in Yakupov or Schultz or guys like that personally.

Personally I think they will sign Ladd and trade buff and I think despite Ladds slow start probably due to his off season surgery... it will be the right move. Ladd takes a lot of heat but... he's a guy who plays through injuries and rarely misses a game and the fact that he built a house here and likes it here probably plays a factor. Our lw depth isn't good. Our rhd depth is. Buff will be traded and Ladd will sign

Oh and for the record, I don't really care to see any fantasy trades, I mean... how many times can you trade tyler myers who fits in with the actual youth of this team... Seems like it's pretty difficult to make trades this year.... so i'd rather avoid that..... I'd love to hear some discussion tho about what direction this team should be going in. Is it time to move on from the older core? Or do we pretend that 1 season making the playoffs in 5 or 6 years is good enough?

Mathews, Chychrun and Tkachuk are all game changers. Maybe even the Finnish kid also But regardless, It's time to pick a direction. Do you sign Ladd and Buff and continue to be a team that isn't good enough to make the playoffs or do you go semi rebuild and move ladd and buff and maybe others (enstrom comes to mind as a guy who might get a nice return also) and build around the scheifs, ehlers,troubas, lowrys types of players... Our season is done, it's over. This is where you see what Chevy and Chipman for that matter are all about, do they care about winning or are they still just excited to have a team back? I dunno. Personally, I'm moving on from Ladd Buff and Some others (Enstrom) and with Ladd and Buff, if need be to get a better deal, I'm willing to retain 50 percent of their salary for this season.... Opens up the bidding wars to more than a few teams that way. I think it's time to blow it up a little bit, i really do cuz i feel the best this team will ever be as it's currently constructed is a playoff bubble team.. I'm ok with this team sucking if it means that in a couple years we aren't sucking... i'm ok with a top 3 pick this year and next year... That's fine with me... You look at Edmonton,BUffalo, Toronto..You know what direction they are going... they are re-building around the youth... what direction is the Jets going? The older core might be too old when the younger core finally catches up to them... I just don't want to be a team that keeps picking in that 10-14 spot... I want to be a team who either consistently makes the playoffs or... i want to be that team that builds through the draft.. I've always thought this was a draft and develop team... Is it tho? What direction are the Jets going in? Now is this time to see what that direction is... I'm not sure you can justify hanging out to buff and ladd and some of the older core members of the team when in the last 20 games you are the worst team in the league... It's not a coaching issue, it might be tho, but i don't think it's a head coaching issue, I think this team lacks direction tho... and it's about damn time the people in charge (chevy,chipman) decide which direction they want to go.

Nothing. He works for the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy. Not really sure what that is to be honest. He's not an employee of the Jets exactly, He's an employee of their hockey academy... I believe it involves working with young kids in the city, i'm not sure tho.

I'll take Austin Mathews Jacob Chychrun or Matthew Tkachuk instead

Who cares. A 5 1 loss is the same as a 2 1 loss.

How do you know when it's time to move on from the current core? When you score a combined 2 goals vs Edmonton and Calgary. Time to blow it up a bit 19 goals in last 11 road games. Worst team in the league the last 20 games is.... The Jets

Ehlers is a rookie who has played well the last several games. Let him play is what you do. Seriously he's 19. He's not the problem and anyone who thinks he is ... they aren't paying attention

Keep telling yourself that. In 10 road games we've scored 18 goals. Less than 2 per game. Goaltending isn't really the problem when you are scoring less than 2 goals a game on the road.

Sheamus in the main event will do that

As a goalie myself.... I will say that the size of goalie equipment has gotten out of control. I'm 6 foot 4. About 185 ish. Not skinny but not fat.... with my equipment on I look about 6 6 and 240 at least. It's crazy actually. You see a guy like lundquist off the ice or ryan miller... small guys. 160 170 pounds. On ice they look huge. Goalie equipment is 2 big now. I guess 6 2 miller or lundquist shouldn't look bigger than 6 6 rinne or 6 4 helle or whatever. They all look the same. They shouldn't.

Yup. I had the same reaction when I read it on twitter

That time comes when you have been together as a core for 5 6 seasons now and the best you do is make the playoffs once. Getting another 10 to 15 pick ain't gonna help. We need a top 5... top 3 pick. That will help more than signing Ladd or Buff to overpriced contracts. Jets will forever be a bubble team or playoff pretender with this core. They need a star and you get that by picking high. We need a top 3 pick badly. We need a star. A face of the franchise. Austin Mathews type.

Bowman. 2 years. 505 000 total dollars b4 bonuses. That would make him the highest paid receiver in the league.

Most who object don't even live here. Not that it matters but weird
