At long last the Jets are back in action albeit preseason and mostly the Moose Players to see who's ready for a promotion (or the be put on the recall list)

the backup goalies are playing tonight game is on TSN3 but tomorrow is going to be a streaming exclusive

There would have been a blockbuster if they traded Pionk but I had been informed off board he had a year left on his contract anyway

And to me the blockbuster part would be Pionk being gone even if for a draft pick

and Ehlers opens the scoring

4-0 after two

5-0 guess who's coming out to play for the first time this year

 

0 and 2 start leads to a 6-1 response

6-1 against the Oilers farm team but hey we’ll take it.

 Saying ‘cuz no one wants to play in Winnipeg’ doesn’t cut it.

But it is an important factor,  it's very hard to field a competitive team when 95% of the other clubs have the ability to sign any player that is available while your team can not.

Never said it wasn't an important factor of course it's a major challenge but that's the role of the GM.

The role is not to take the woe is me approach, make it where players want to be part of something here.

If the Oilers can do it, we can do it.

Interesting to note if jets tank. Ehlers and pionk probably return a 1st and prospect each. Yes pionk also. Teams are dumb at the deadline. If chiarot got a 1st and others, pionk would also. I’m sure if we had a generational talent, people would sign here also.

Perfetti matched with Lambert looks intriguing.

Ugly one here tonight. 

Gotta clear it better then this.

Helle not great. 6 goals against on 22?shots. Chibrikov and Yager apparently standing out more than big bad Brad. 

Helle ****. 8 goals against actually on 29 shots. Wow.

Nothing to worry about said rocking back and forth in the fetal position.

Preseason in the nhl. Nothing to worry about. If it happens next game tho with Helle, perhaps concern then. Cuz last few playoff games he let in 6 or 7 also per night. 

Do you guys think that Lambert can stick at center in the NHL?

No 

And Yager? 

My main issue with the McGroarity situation is that we gave up someone who was likely to be able to be a 2nd line center in the future and have no solution in site to an obvious team weakness. I was hoping due it his speed that Lambert could play the position better than Perfetti.

Yes but not yet.
