Thing is... Stamkos probably isn't even the top 5 best player on his team right now... The only reason people think he's so good is because of what he did a couple years ago, he's not a top 5 talent on his team, never mind the league. This is a case of people somewhat over valuing Stamkos, It's not about what he's done, it's about what he's going to do in the future and just like Ladd, you need to look at that, you need to be able to say, hmm in 4 5 6 years from now is Andrew Ladd gonna be worth 6 million a year? Is he worth 6 million a year now even? Just like with Stamkos, is he worth 10 million a year? Now? Maybe, in 2 3 4 5 years? probably not. Some of these guys are in for a rude awakening this off-season, yeah i bet there is some team out there who is gonna over pay a ton for some of these guys but in a few years time, will that contract be an albatros on that team that signed it? It might just be. Stamkos hasn't been the same since he broke his leg.

Ticket sales going really well apparently. Looks nice. Nice place to play Football.

I'll say this, It's very very rare for a player to leave college to play in the AHL... if they are leaving College, it's to play with the big CLUB. If Connor leaves Michigan after this season, He's a JET next year. No doubt about it. Don't get the Gaudreau comparison tho, Johnny Hockey was not a first or even 2nd round pick, he might have been a 3rd or 4th round pick actually, Connor was a top 10, some had him as high as top 6 talent last year in a very deep draft. He fell to the JETS here big time and in a re-draft would probably go top 5. Connor is ripping up the NCAA like only Eichel and Larkin has done b4 him, He's ready. He's very ready. He's more of an Ehlers type of player who plays the game at high speeds than a Gaudreau who is more like Petan in my opinion, Shorter, tons of talent but needs a couple years to actually figure it out.

How? They are both generational talents. The biggest difference between them is one is canadian so he gets hyped out the ass, and the other is american so he doesn't. They are both Franchise Centers. Both Edmonton and Buffalo got what they wanted. Eichel is a PPG player his last 25 games. He's going to be very very good and already is.

Something to keep in mind with Stamkos, His parents just moved to Tampa Bay recently full time.

I don't see Pittsburgh as likely at all, they basically have nothing to give up.. they have no real prospects outside of Derrick Pouliot who is a LHD but at the same time, that's all they have. They don't have a first, i'm not even sure they have a second. Basically, I'd see Pitt more interested in Enstrom or Stafford and i don't think the Jets would trade Ladd to Pittsburgh without a first coming back. Pouliot is ok but... he's got a lot of question marks. Minny? Very doubtful since they are in a tailspin right now, however who knows, they don't have much to offer prospect wise either, I'd take their first tho. Anaheim? Definitely. Chicago? Definitely. Florida? I don't see it being likely at all.

This whole Stamkos debate is silly. It basically really does come down to his no move clause which he negotiated in to his contract. It would be nice if these no move clauses didn't exist or if these guys weren't guaranteed their money, but... they do and they are. I guess, you can see this 2 ways, 1... Yzerman did shop him around but didn't like the return or 2. He didn't shop him around cuz he has inside info that Stamkos will be signing a new deal with Tampa. The Toronto media can pump up these guys and pretend they all want to come home and play for the leafs but reality with a place like Tampa since it's in Florida and perhaps this is what people may not understand... Lets just pretend Leafs did make stamkos an offer, let's just call it 10 million a year, well, with taxes, it's less than 10 million a year. Way less actually. In Florida because there are no taxes like that, 10 million is 10 million.

Moose on a 2 game win streak, call it the Hellebuyck effect. Beat Rockford today 5 2. Cormier with the Hatty. Game was played at 1030 am. "School Day" Game, meaning the Rockford arena was sold out with kids from school. Cool idea. Moose should do it. 5 out of 6 points in their last 3 games. Not so bad.

Beat me by 1 second lol. Wish him well

Released today as per bomber twitter feed. Really liked Zach. Wish him well

Anyone hear Maurice after the game? Didn't say much but what he did says it all. Change is needed badly. He was asked about what message did he give to the team between the 2nd and 3rd intermission. He said the same message he gave to start the game. That says the team really isn't listening. It's almost as if they are tuning him out. That would be the second coach this team has tuned out. Players need to go. Off season. In my opinion. You keep Wheeler. You obviously keep Buff. Scheif ehlers armia one not both of trouba or Myers and the rest... well... it's time to look at moving some guys out. People can talk about bringing in 2 much youth to the team but youth brings hope. It brings optimism. You stick with the same group tho and what's it say really. It's rewarding failure

Chicago is Ladds likely destination. It is what it is. We willsee what what get back

You under estimate some of these guys talent level. We will see what happens but Lemieux could very easily be a Jet next season.

He might but I think he's got a chance to make the team. I guess I'll call him my dark horse pick to make the Jets.

Well yeah. Off season for sure. A trouba or Myers trade wouldn't happen now.

Buffalo was guaranteed mcdavid or Eichel by tanking

I'll bet Hutch starts. Maurice said both would play on this road trip

Oh. BTW... if anyone still feels this team doesn't need to make some changes.... they are tied for 28th overall in the league and look like they could care less. Trading from a position of strength like RHD... Trouba or Myers to upgrade a position of weakness like LHD would be a good idea. That's a start. There is 1 D man on the Jets who is guaranteed to be back next year and that's the #1 RHD who just signed for 5 more years

Not in Junior. His eligibility is up. He's a Jet or Moose next year

If Connor is ready and the Jets feel he is ready he will be here next season. It's that simple. Some guys are just ready when they are ready. Connor is very good and all about the speed. He's pretty much proving that he's 2 good for the NCAA and is ready for the next step. He pretty much has nothing to prove playing in the NCAA next year

If you finish last the worst you can pick is 4th. 2nd last = 5th. 3rd last = 6th.

Svedberg sucks and is LHD. Pokka doesn't and is rhd

Pav was ok again. 1 really good save but was out of position badly on it. Hurricane player gets it off the ice and it's in. What can you say. Only show up for 1 period and this happens. 8 shots through 2 periods says it all

Jets were scouting the Hawks Dallas game a week ago in Chicago. Dano didn't play. Svedberg didn't play. Shaw did. Pokka? He's in the AHL currently

He's a RHD with top 4 potential. Ya I know another RHD but could flip him for an LHD or.... trade one or both of myers and trouba
