To be fair Chipman is a long time bomber fan and season ticket holder 

I didn't know that and had always wondered his feelings toward WBB FC. Everything I've ever read about him suggested this might be true. Really glad to hear it.

Chipman played university football in North Dakota and was in a Bombers training camp in the early 80s.  
 

Never made the team though.

With Berdin being called up, Vesalainen gets sent down.  Is that because he’s the only one that can go down without clearing waivers?  What about Toninato or Nash?  We have enough centers.

I'd assume it's likely waivers exempt but... maybe the money savings is at play here. Jets really need to move a contract for a pick to get some space 

They have like 800 bucks in cap. It's not that but damn near

He's the only one that does not need to clear waivers. He'll back on the roster tomorrow when Berdin goes back down.

What about Chris Mason didn't his wife give birth around the same time that the first season started? Unless Slater's wife gave birth before the season started

Pretty good show. Thought Billeck's question would be tougher. Murat not get his question in.

I just finished watching that news conference. Honestly, I don't know what to thnk now. What do others here think? Chipman was very unhappy. Looking down a lot & not making eye contact.

No,they won't. Unless is comes out in court or through depositons.

Count me among those who have no idea what to make of any of it. Cheveldayoff has dodged a bullet here, IMO.

All eyes on him, Chipman, and this organization now to emerge from this as a collective and committed leader in fixing what is wrong and putting an end to what is so sickeningly rotten within hockey culture.

They gonna run 12 forwards and 6 D for a few games maybe now. 

As for Chevy and Chipman... Chipman obviously very effected by it as he was quite emotional.. Chevy seemed genuinely upset also.. some interesting tips bits.. both found out this past summer it was Kyle Beach.  Both Chevy and Chipman have been unfortunately victims or family or friends of previous victims.. 

I like the Sheldon Kennedy talk and I like the Chipman promise to use his power to change the systemic problems.  Chipper has some say for sure

Lol Yes, I think we all knew Vesalainen would be coming right back up.  I just wondered if there was anyone else that could go down without waivers.

Anyone on a two-way contract like Svech, Toninato and Berdin.

Right, I couldn’t remember who had the 2 way contracts.
