  1. Durant looks done to me, like it's not a mental thing, it's a physical thing. I think with Willy, It's mental, and i think you can probably hopefully maybe fix that mental aspect, I'm not sure you can fix Durant tho so I'd probably pass on a Durant for Willy trade.
  2. They had him at camp and from all accounts he didn't look out of place so you can bet he's on the bombers radar.
  3. I was watching WWE NXT last night downstairs and when i came up the stairs my GF had it on CBC for a moment and from what I heard, I dunno, I'm not the biggest HIP fan, but... what i heard last night wasn't good, It may have just been the 15 minutes i saw but i really didn't think they were that good. I know, i get it, they are legends, they are Canadiana or whatever, but... from what i SAW, that performance last night, wasn't their best. I'm not a huge hip fan but one of the first concerts i ever went to was the HIP, we got free tix from a radio station and a bunch of us went, wasn't a huge fan, it was a great concert but at the same time, I still wasn't a huge fan. Just something about them? I dunno what, but while they were very good live years and years and years ago, last night? In my opinion, it wasn't their best performance.
  4. After tonight's performance Dom Davis could play and we'd probably woop their ass. Seriously there are no positives for the riders right now
  5. At what point does Jones get fired. His vaunted D is a joke and so Is he
  6. Probably because it's an automatic flag now if you touch the qb pretty much anywhere
  7. One word to describe Nxt Takeover so far.... #Glorious
  8. What an awful throw hy Collaros. Collaros looks terrible but some huge luck has it 10 0.
  9. Football is an odd game. Usually the team who wins the turnover battle wins the game. I don't get the we are lucky stuff.... I think its more about we have a pretty Damn good ball hawking turnover creating D. In football... the D can win you championships. People loved the swaggerville D... never heard how they were lucky .... just that they were good. Luck? Nah. Bombers are just a good team that have been capitalizing on their opportunities the last 3 games.
  10. Thought Johnson struggled to start the year but since his injury he's been solid. Fogg got beat pretty huge last week tho but he played well besides that. Don't really recall Johnson getting picked on much
  11. Thank you Mr Messam
  12. You know... you look at the prospects for 2017 draft. Patrick? That would be awesome but besides him there's 10 or 15 other guys including some big time stud d men who would look good with the Jets also. Couple interesting Finns also. A d man and a forward. Couple sons of former players in Patrick and D man Callan Foote. Ryan and Dylan Strome younger brother LW Matthew Strome. Max Tippet son I believe of Dave. Interesting American in Yamamoto... Small but tons of talent. And a couple Russian kids. Also can't forget D man from Sweden Timothy Liljegren. If the Jets miss the playoffs... they will get a pretty solid player regardless of where they pick between 1 and 16... cuz Vegas
  13. Think the Vesey hype wasn't really needed but I guess end of summer nothing else going on... sure. Now time to see if he was worth the hype. I'd consider 30 points since he's gonna be 24 pretty much a non bust season
  14. Toronto will be young. Buffalo is young. Carolina is young. Edmonton added lucic who bumps their age up quite a bit.
  15. Jets won't be that bad. They won't make the playoffs I don't think but they will probably be closer to being in the playoffs than to a team like Toronto or Vancouver or 5 6 7 8 other teams who suck worse
  16. Irrelevant what fans think... it's what management thinks. Pavelec has 1 year left. That's this year. This is a developmental year. It's not a make the playoffs year. Next year will be. This year? Nope
  17. I've liked what Knox has shown. Perhaps Burnett comes out
  18. Yup. They sent scheif back to Barrie Trouba played for Michigan for a year Lowry was in junior they spent a year or more with the ahl team Nobody has been rushed yet. Ehlers maybe but... he showed he was ready. Sending him to junior wasn't gonna happen.
  19. Pretty sure Loffler has to play because 3 Americans on the Oline Let's just... Goossen Chungh Kohlert A Harris Westerman Shologan Yup. Loffler for sure cuz starting Hurl isn't a good idea. Playing JFG over an American receiver isn't a good idea. Neufeld is 6 gamed I believe No other real option. Loffler stays at safety Randle will take Roberts spot Adams or Frederick? Rotate them both Receivers? Dressler will be back and then Smith. Adams is probably long term. Dressler Smith Denmark Davis Kohlert Dressler takes K Adams spot. Smith prob takes Mayo spot
  20. No need to rush Connor if he isn't ready. Training camp will decide that. Thing is comparing Connor who is 19 to Vesey who is 23 24 isn't fair... Vesey is what he is... his upside? There isn't much. What you see is what you get. Connor is still a kid .. a kid who needs to put on some weight and has time to develop still. If he's not ready... he's going to be on the Moose and it wouldn't surprise me if that's where he starts. He probably won't finish the season there but there really is no need to rush him If he's not nhl ready... his D game definitely needs work. Trust me if Ehlers could have been sent to the Moose last year... he would have been. They weren't gonna send him to junior. Connor? He can be sent to the Moose.
  21. Lol. 3 who cares really. Paige has become just a gongshow. Del Rio is a joke and Eva? Rumor going around that she didn't fail but actually botched the test
  22. If it was up to me stafford Burmi Thorburn Stuart Pavelec Peluso would all not be on the team this season but it's not... so therefore pavelec Stuart thorburn stafford Burmi will be on the team this year. I doubt they trade anyone before the season starts. It's 1 more year of development for sure. Then next season when pavelec thorburn stafford Burmi aren't here cuz their contracts expired... Jets will start to be playoff contenders. I'd expect that by Laine and Connors last year of their ELC that this team should be a legit playoff team but that's 2 years away still.... we will see what happens but I'd honestly suspect that we struggle this season... I think a few players will have very good years but I think because we are still very young that growing pains plus a combo of pavelec in net probably equals a lottery pick next season
  23. Then he shouldn't be playing. **** happens. I doubt it will be needed tho since he will probably be signed by then
  24. Laine probably has the best chance to score 25 goals because he is a goal scorer .. will he? Maybe. Maybe not. More than likely not tho because he's a rookie. He's going to be a very good player and so will Connor and even Ehlers but you know what? It takes a while to be a very good player. I wouldn't put ridiculous expectations on Laine or Connor... they are kids... they have some maturing and growing to do still... I guess you can say... they are just boys still playing against men. Look at Scheif .. he needed a couple years to really find his stride... it's gonna take Laine Connor and for that matter Ehlers a couple years to do the same I'm not sure I'd Lol @ Laine scoring 25 tho... it's possible. He's pretty much a once in a generation talent from Finland so who knows. If Connor puts up 15... that will be a good season for him. Why should we replace stafford tho? I mean... he's a 20 goal guy and if the kids ain't ready for a top 6 role... Stafford is there. He's a good 1 year stop gap. It's not even all about scoring goals tho... it's about being responsible in both ends of the ice. .. Laine pretty much is but like Ehlers last year... Connor will be learning to play D on the ice. Lower the expectations. It's better to be surprised than disappointed
  25. I would imagine it would be negotiated between the NHL and the agent... It won't be for Millions and Millions of dollars tho.
