All discussion of summer season stuff here. Signings, free agent losses, draft. 

So where do we go? Who do we cut bait with? More importantly, what do we get back? Are we in full tank mode now, is there anything salvageable, if so, what?

Still think they move out a D.. Dillon likely since he's making 3 million and they got a few younger guys. Need room for bonus money. 

Some move is coming eventually 

In other news apparently helle will be a Jet to start the season 

Stanley is interesting. That might go to arbitration and the Jets could decide to walk away and let Stanley go that way

Apparently Stanley didn't file for arb so it's probably not gonna happen that way

I doubt the D man they move will be Dillon. He makes 4m this season and a 2m bonus was just paid and he keeps the front of the crease clear as any Jets' D man.

His AAV is 3.9m.

Stanley's QO is 875k and I wouldn't offer him a penny more.

I think Schmidt is moved. Hopefully it is Schmidt and Stanley.

I fear that other teams decided to dig deeper into 55's "fancy stats" and see the disadvantage of having a 40 goal scorer.

Former 40 goal scorer, who doesn't back check.

Updates Continue on Connor Hellebuyck and Mark Scheifele (msn.com)

Reading an article today( sorry lost the link)  about the Avs trying to upgrade their 2c and 3c. They got the numbers from their current free agents then when out and tried to upgrade based on the same amount! When does Chevy ever get this opportunity in free agency?

Wishful thinkin....😄

Some have speculated that Winnipeg in 80 years or so will not see snow in winter year after year, someone send me a postcard if this happens cause I'll be long gone.

I was told in school that by the time I'm 80, Winnipeg may be Texas like so  45 50 years to go still.

Did you have an actual climate scientist for a teacher?  Anyway, not wanting to get political here, but that just seems insane to me that anyone would tell you that with a straight face, in a place of actual supposed learning.

Back to topic!

Just a climate guy who came in one day. He said one day winnipeg is expected to be similar to Texas in terms of weather. Dude likely off by a bit but... maybe not by as much as we all expect

Off by a bit???

 

Maybe it was the same guy who claimed climate change is real because he saw warm winds coming off the mountains in Alberta melt all the snow away while he filmed a movie here. Oh, STFU Leonardo DiCaprio you idiot. They're called Chinooks which means, "Snow Eater".

Seems the climate boys here are unhappy with my reference to dumbass Di Caprio. Good. He deserves it for opening his rich & entitled mouth. He's the Gold Standard for stupid.

And in Jets news 

Rasmus Kupari signs 2 years 2 million. (1.0 aav) 

This guy could be a steal

Yes this is good news.  I think at least.

2 x 1m is a show me contract.

He has 2 years to show what he can do.

I see him as a career 4th liner. If he gets steady minutes on the 3rd line in the next two seasons, the trade looks even better.

His ceiling is replacing Lowry as the checking center. I have read that he hits a lot so, that's a start!

Yeah that would be good except he already turned it down? As long as we don't sign him to an 8 year deal.
