Philly trades LeCavalier and L Scheen to LA for Jordan Weal (prospect) and a 3rd round pick.

As President of the team, I'm really not sure what his job is, If it's to improve the team? He's done poorly but... I'm not sure that's his job description exactly... I think the in game experience has improved, i think customer service has improved, I think the fact that he seems to actually listen to the people is quite the change, I don't know what type of say he has in the on field product but... from what i've heard and read, He seems to be opening up the cheque book a bit, you can say maybe the scouting and gm has failed but i'm not sure i'd put that on the president exactly.Someone wanna tell me what his job description actually is? Cuz, right now it seems like a bunch are just guessing. If it's 2 attract new sponsors to the team and to improve the game day experience, outside of the on field product, then he's done a good job. If it's to also improve the on field product, i'm not sure it is, then he hasn't. It really does depend on what his job description is. He came in after Garth Buchko who from all accounts left quite the mess for Wade to clean up, I don't know Wade Miller, I've met him once or twice and he seems like a guy who wants to win, who cares what reasonable fans think, i think he doesn't need to be president but he is because he cares that much... The guy doesn't need this president job, he has his own business, he doesn't need the bombers at all. But he took the job, why? because he obviously gives a crap about the team and honestly, i think with a guy like Buchko in charge b4 him, I think it takes a while to clean up his mess. I'm not saying Miller is teflon or anything here, I just think based on what I think his job description is, He's done a good job. I don't think I can put the on field issues on him, I think that falls on Walters and to an extent O'shea and the coaches and even the scouts... Listen, Miller hired walters right, at the time everyone loved the hire, maybe not loved but we were all good with it, who else was out there really? Nobody... Should he have maybe hired someone else? Maybe, Maybe not. It's hard to say but... I put the on field product issues on Walters and the scouting, and i guess, in the big picture, i'm not sure our scouting network would exist if Miller didn't allow it too. Is it the greatest? No. Is our scouting as awful as some make it out to be? probably not. Like I said, if his job description is... off the field issues, he's done a good job. If it's on field, he hasn't.

Best way to kill off penalties is not taking any penalties... Don't take any penalties and if you do, make it worth it... no O zone penalties, No stupid stick infractions or any thing like that... You wanna hit a guy to hard and take a penalty? go 4 it.. you wanna fight and get a penalty? be my guest but please don't cross check or trip or high stick or this delay of game junk where you put the puck out of play in your own zone... Some penalties are fine but THE O zone, stick infractions and selfish penalties are not and the Jets definitely lead the lead in stick infractions, o zone penalties and stupid ones.

Game 40 : Jets vs Predators - Requiem
Goalie replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Well,Stafford did score 2 goals and the game winner so... -
Self Made Millionaire who owns his own company, who was featured on the somewhat exclusive top 40 under 40 club, a former pro football player who cares deeply about this team city and the people, even tho some seem to have this issue with the guy or agenda they keep pushing. Man, there are a lot of jealous people posting on this topic isn't there? Yeesh.

Game 40 : Jets vs Predators - Requiem
Goalie replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
No. I've been to games where the Jets win and They get 2 stars but never all 3, it's rare i think unless the Jets absolutely dominate another team, I remember going to a CBJ game last season, Hutch got the first star (shut out), a Jet got the second star and Jacket got the third star... Minny game, Jets got 2 stars, Minny got 1... It seems to be that way... If you win, Home team gets 2 stars, away gets 1. Very rarely have i Seen a clean sweep for the Jets in terms of the 3 stars of the game at home. I've been to (let me count my tix lol) 10 games since last season, maybe only 2 of them had Jets as all 3 stars. -
1. Mitchell - just because he's durable and good 2. Collaros - Injury issues with this guy for sure but definitely a very good player 3. Reilly- as a QB? not so much but he's a winner, he wins. Honestly, If i'm ranking them in terms of QB play alone, i'm not sure Reilly is this high 4. Willy - Yup. Gonna put him top 5. Only because he made chicken salad out of chicken crap, sure he's got injury concerns 2 but.. He has a bright future 5. Harris - Don't see the hype with him, don't think he's better than any of the top 4 but... he's young and has upside, however his contract demands seem a little ridiculous for a guy who has proven nothing 6. Jennings - Do we see a them here? It's all the young guys first, guys with futures 7. Ray - based on his history and only his history cuz i'm not sure how much more time he has in the CFL 8. Hank/Henry/Frank - See Ray. He ain't getting any younger The rest?? Basically, I'd put Glenn and Tate in the same group, I'd put Nichols in the group below them. Lulay if healthy is 9 on my list but... and the Rest outside of Masoli... They are guys i could easily see gone from the CFL in a couple weeks. Basically, You got your starters, you got your back up and most teams don't have that solid back up actually... and then you got your guys who get chance after chance after chance (marsh, brohm etc) those types.

I would honestly guess that The Chargers and Raiders will both be playing out of LA shortly, I think St Louis will stay in St Louis, Just makes 2 much sense really.
-
Yeah, I'm sure most don't want to go but apparently the Jets wanted Wheeler to go and Wheeler wanted to go also, Oh well, Just strange, guess maybe it's roster constraints more than anything here, John Klingberg from Dallas not picked to go either so yeah, probably the best D man in the Central right now.
-
I'm pretty sure that the O coaches contracts were up. Not sure about Miles but is it lateral if he's also involved in player personnel?
-
Not going to the all star game. Buff is tho. Kind of a joke.
-
Petan and Kostalek both held out due to being late to practice

Goalie replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Hutch pav... anyone other than helle it's probably 3 4 5 0 after 1. Jets actually really good 5 on 5 this season. Big if here but if helle can stand on his head and If the jets stop taking penalties... they are a playoff team but.... Helle can't every night and the Jets won't. .. they will finish bottom 5 imo -
Sure, why not. Whatever. WWE Network and Wrestlemania

Goalie replied to FrostyWinnipeg's topic in Winnipeg Jets Discussion
Jets absolutely got owned. Helle the only reason it wasn't a Nashville ass wooping. Not feeling good about this team at all. If helle can stand on his head for 30 more wins... Jets have a chance.. If not.. They are done. -

They will show up in TNA tonight -
Gonna lose buff for nothing. I think Chevy will be fired if he loses buff and Ladd for nothing.
-
Solid. Gives us a nice 1 2 and basically is the end of Brohm.

Nakamura is a bigger Deal than styles IMO -
At the time Wheeler wasn't the best player in that deal tho.
-
Markus Howell joining the riders. Baron Miles off to the Esks
-
No. I'm saying that's all I'd offer cuz I don't think Drouin Is worth it.
-
Frolik is not the reason we aren't good. It's never one player or one reason. People can go on about the goalies, Stuart, Chiarot Frolik Stempniak whoever. .. it is all irrelevant. This team just isn't good enough. The core group just can't get it done. I've accepted it. Ladd Buff Toby... little even and I like him but reality on other teams these guys aren't the "stars" they are just depth role players. Wheeler is the only guy who isn't
-
Except they play Tuesday in Nashville and then in Dallas.
