Goalie

Slater stafford Frolik Tlusty Stempniak are all ufa. Peluso Galiardi also ufa. O'Dell too I think. Chiarot rfa. Role players really. Chiarot should be signed. Stempniak too. Stafford and Frolik be nice if not long term and big money. The rest are a meh really.

What thrashers core tho? Wheeler Ladd and Buff were there for one season. Stuart was a beast tonight. Slater really and Thorburn aren't considered core players. The D was 95 percent Jets.

Pavs played well but that last one was a stinker. Buff had his best game in my opinion. Ducks just a better team.

Great season and yup future looks good but.. the goaltending Is the big question mark. Pav played well and held them in it but that last Kesler goal when jets had all the momentum was that 1 bad goal he let's in every game. That was the back breaker.

Believe it was Ducky who said that about the Wild

Bunch of them were tweeting they were the fastest player in the cfl. Price.banks Chevy in Ottawa. Williams maybe. Banks just challenged them to put their money where there mouth is

He probably is the fastest player in the cfl tho. I mean I'm assuming that's what the op was talking about. His tweet where he challenged ppl to face him in a running contest

They might because Peter C has no prior history with some of the guys macT and crew drafted. I think they almost have too make some trades. Eberle being the most likely. Changes on ice need to come. You ain't gonna be signing ufas. There are barely any. Trades is the only option really to fix that D there. One or more of the young guys being traded would bring back d help. With no D or Goaltending. Oilers will suck again.

MacT may be fired. Former bruins GM in talks with Edmonton apparently. If that happens I could see the oilers making several trades

They kept Kane for years until the issue was forced. Kane has and had more talent and potential than Burmi.

Burmi issues might be attitude related. Jets seem to be high on guys with good character. Not sure Burmi is one of those guys.

Burmi probably part of a larger deal. Think buff Burmi type of trade. He's a throw in.

Imo Burmi is as good as traded already. He won't be back.

You mean the best goalie not In the NHL? Not a chance. They'd move pav b4 helle

3 game sample size is not enough. Reality jets could be up 3-0. They aren't down 3-0 because of pav. The games have all been close because of him tho

Tlusty Slater and Thorburn got quite a bit of playing time and were very effective actually

Buff is not really an elite d man tho, to be an elite d man, you need to be able to play D. He's a good player but lately, he's caused more harm than good. When Buff isn't doing good things, he's either not doing anything or is caught out of position. The last several games now, several, 10 15 20 games with Buff on D, since the All Star Break Really, he has not been good at all. Things that make you go hmmm Without Buff in the lineup, The Jets win more than they lose, it's a significant amount too. Without Toby in the lineup, the Jets win more than they lose, it's a significant amount too. Tells me those 2 are replaceable. When Buff is on, he's on but when he's off and lately he's been off more than he has been on, He's a liability out there. I wouldn't give him a big money long term deal, not a chance... He's just not worth the 6 7 8 million a year he will get elsewhere. Especially to a team like the Jets, who in reality, they are building this team through the youth. Buff is our 3rd best Right Handed D man, He's not worth what it would cost to keep him when one day and soon you will have to extend trouba,lowry,scheif and the sorts. Gotta remember what the D in D man stands for... Buff does not bring that.

No suspension for buff. I mean social media was so convinced he would be.

Oh boy. Buff answering the same questions with the same answers. Doesn't bode well for his future here i don't think.

I'd strongly consider moving toby too but he's our best and really only legit left handed d man. I'd move Buff first and see if we could get a left handed d man in return.. if so, then i'd look at moving toby. But... That left side looks way weaker without toby and nobody to replace him.

Ehlers will be a JET next season, either on scheifs line or lowrys... Others who could make it as forward include petan too, think he was close this past year too... If you add those 2, that's a ton of skill coming in to the lineup right there.. Its hard to say what happens with our ufas like staff,frolik,stemp,slater and what happens in free agency (doubt we are that active this off-season, doesn't seem to be many guys out there this year to be honest) (i'll take the smart cheap signing like perreault again tho over the long term 6 7 million dollar a year stastny types) Heres how i see it, Centers - Little,Scheif,Lowry,Copp RW - Wheeler,Perreault, Stafford,Thorburn LW- Ladd,Ehlers,Petan,Stempniak That could change and probably will depending on what happens with our own free agents but... with maurice saying we very well could get younger next season, i could see that being possible. Really mix and match all you want. There are also trade possibilities, guys like Toby,Buff,Ladd even (doubtful ladd is moved tho), Burmi (think he's as good as traded), Pav even. so who knows what these guys could bring back... Organizational depth is weak on the LHD side and on the LW side really... Petan could go to the A even.

Well, hank is how old now? They are going for it cuz hanks window is closing and quickly i think. Could have even started to close last year.

Ladd has skipped lots of morning skates and practices the last month or so, he's hurting i think. Yeah he played well last night and it doesn't excuse his previous 2 games but if he's hurt, not even if he's hurt, he is. He still has shown more than Buff has.

Ladd will sign an extension and Chevy should do everything he can to make sure he does. He's a good vet leader out there, played his heart out last night, Buff tho? I think they will end up moving him, you don't want to give buff a big money contract for a long time and have him go MIA for periods of time. The other plus ladd has going for him, he plays a position of weakness for the Jets really.. He's our best LW, Ehlers might be in the future but he isn't yet.. Buff on the other hand, Myers,Trouba and you got other RHD in the system like Kostalek who i think will be very very good, guy is tearing up the Q right now in the playoffs himself. Myers and Trouba are 1A AND 1B d pairings there... Buff at lots of money to play on the third pair just doesn't make sense really when you have some holes at other positions.. LHD being one. If I'm moving Buff and i think i would, I'd hope for a first and a good prospect or a 1st and a LHD man. LHD is an area of weakness on the team and in the system for that matter.
