Finally removed scheif off center responsibility so that should help, Don't like Wheeler on second line should be Ned or Baron or even Mel at least they hit. Love what Wheels has done for us in the past but he has lost a step and is no where near the player he used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s lost more than just a step in my opinion. He’s still capable of the occasional slick pass, but more often than not, he’s coughing it up and has become an anchor to that line. bb1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if losing Perfetti has hurt Wheeler and the Jets more than we think? Last year we took a bigger nose dive when he got hurt too...but we still should be playing better than this...sad.

El Nino was brought in and he's more than enough as a replacement for Cole. Noeller and blue_gold_84 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you’re saying, but Nino and Cole are completely different players, so Nino doesn’t replace what Perfetti does for the team. Even from a points standpoint, I think Perfetti has the edge.

He has the size and grit to his credit and can get in those dirty areas to create scoring chances. He's far more seasoned, IMO. Perfetti has an upside but what that is remains to be seen. His lack of size doesn't help his case, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t suggesting that Nino isn’t a solid player and a decent top 6 piece (although in a perfect world I’d like him on the 3rd line), I was simply saying that him and Perfetti are very different in how they play and the skill sets they possess.

blue_gold_84 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 We opted out of our tickets for next season. The group consensus was relief. Tickets are easy to come by now and the product on the ice has been anything but consistent recently.

JCon Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 I guess they've exhausted all the opportunities to collect gov't funds. Must now lean on the fans with veiled threats. Things are going well. Really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 So I'm definitely not saying TNSE is right......want to be clear about that......... but, hypothetically, if the team were to leave again....... how would people around here feel? I'm just curious is all. Was the whole "Bring Back The Jets" thing just a fad that people have grown tired of? Just curious what the vibe is here and around Manitoba...

bustamente Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Chipman and his band of merry men have more revenue streams that Jets 1.0 could ever of dreamed of, his problem is that he though the seats would be filled even though his GM is not very good at his job and the coaches he has brought here and even worse and the product on the ice has been substandard the last few years. Now people are giving up season tickets and they will sound the alarm that you must support this team or risk losing it. The team is going nowhere, look around some of the other markets that are playing in front of 10k, Coyotes can't even fill a 4600 arena, and when they do it's the out of market fans that are doing it. NHL on a whole has attendance problems. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_gold_84 Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 I can't see the team leaving. With profit sharing, broadcasting revenue, sponsorship, merchandise, etc., the brand remains strong as a small market franchise. IIRC, the Jets were valued at $650M as of late last year. Complacency in the front office is another discussion (hockey operations) but the franchise from a business standpoint seems pretty stable. bustamente 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCon Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 I have no doubts they would move the team if they thought they could make even a dollar more somewhere else. Would the NHL allow it? If it meant them making a dollar somewhere else, they sure would! rebusrankin, Noeller and HardCoreBlue 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustamente Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 With all the investments that Chipman and his crew have made downtown and more on the way I find it very difficult to believe that he would up and sell the team just because he is getting a couple of 1000 less in the arena, eventually if he gets more competent people in the organization and stop with the boys club the Jets will see an upswing and the patrons will come back.
