Well it’s Canada Day! Hopefully the last post in this thread is the Jets hoisting the Cup.   Enjoy the frenzy!

 

Kind of surprised the Stone deal isn't done.

Asking too much....and Jets out and Calgary said they're out.  So high price + less suitors = tougher deal? 

EDIT: Apparently, TSN is saying its coming...

Hopefully it will = drop in asking price.

We lose Lemieux,  we replace him with Vesa ....  I think we will survive. 

 

Man, Vegas is going to get Stone... you can feel it ha

Subban, Glass and a 1st for Stone... callin it

Of course - Vegas tax laws are a huge advantage...

 

 

 

Also surprised that the Jets didn't add a depth dman. 

Good for Vegas.... but do they get thru CGY or SJS even with Stone?  Unlikely.  

Solid long term play though.... is Stone your defacto 'face of the franchise' now?? 

That 2nd round SJS / VGK series about to be this year's Jets/Nashville from last season.

The chatter was Vegas didnt want Stone as a rental so I assume they'd try hard to re-sign him.  A lot worse places to play than Vegas and we all know Winnipeggers love Sin City!

Just because he is traded to Vegas does not mean he will sign long term with them.   

I don't see the Jets making the move in the off season because we just don't have the money.

And, they'll still have room for Karlsson this summer. Crazy.

It's already being reported as happening sooner than later.

Still (again) the return feels light for OTT?

Man back in the day, a 2nd year expansion team would call a 20 win season a huge victory. Whole new world.

I assume Seattle wants a cup in 2022.  

No 1st? I dont think an extension is involved.

Brannstrom is a stud. 

Stone to Vegas. Barf.

Brannstrom was 15th overall in 2017 so there's the first rounder.

Jets probably could have competed with that package but I suspect Sens wanted Roslo or bust and the Jets wouldnt do it.

EDIT: As good as Brannstrom is, I wonder if Sens holding out did hurt them in the end with Jets and Flames dropping out.

The team sure needs help on the defensive side of the game.  I read somewhere (maybe on here?) that the team has given up 3 goals or more in almost each game for the last 25 games they played. 

But we have not give up 40 shots the last couple games. So there is that

I’m not sure that is relevant to him signing here. lol but I guess Keith might say good things about the City

I have a tough time to say good things about Winnipeg.
