The Unknown Poster Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Ive only heard two Bogo stories from fairly reliable sources. But Im not sure what we're allowed to post (neither are particularly bad and one is actually good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I heard several stories about Bogo, I do think we massively upgraded on that deal still. I have also heard many many positive stories about Stuart, Thorburn and Ladd.... all of the guys are real good community guys and definitely are fans of this city.

The Unknown Poster Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 The first story I heard about Ladd was when he was moving in that first pre-season. He was staying in Toews condo off Pembina HWY. My friend lived there and her brother saw Ladd back a truck up and start moving some stuff in but he was by himself. Friend's brother went down and helped him. Ladd went to his condo later and gave him Jets tickets as a thank you. Also, Ladd's wife would borrow sugar (and stuff) from my friend's mom. Condo's were next to each other. Said the Ladd's were super nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelownabomberfan Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Here's a tidbit - Ladd's boat was stolen this summer in Kelowna (like 50% of the NHL they live here in the off-season). Not sure if it made the news back in the Peg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 It cant be too easy to steal a boat. A small boat, sure. But I assume Ladd has a pretty nice boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted December 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I wonder how much current play factors in. For example, lets say in the summer the Jets had offered 6X6 and Ladd asked for 7x6. They decide to hold off. Ladd's people probably feeling the closer he gets to Free Agency, the more leverage they have. But then Ladd has a poor season. Does his agent still say hey here are his career stats and accomplishes or do the Jets say "wellll. we see a player trending down". Does the agent look at this and say gee, last summer you would have had 20 teams offering you more. But you might not this summer... is one in the hand worth X in the bush when X is undefined?

Coming off the surgery that he had in the off season if his agent was offered the 6x6 contract and refused he should have fired him because he will not get that kind of an offer from the Jets or probably any other team.

IC Khari Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I'm thinking the Jets should offer him a 4X4 contract, and a couple of shotguns thrown in with it if he picks up his play LOL FrostyWinnipeg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copp and Troubas brother now live with Trouba here in Winnipeg. Yup. Jets hired Troubas brother TJ... he's part of the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy... Trust me, there is a reason the Jets drafted Copp and hired Troubas brother and shipped Bogo out of town. All i will say is Bogo was not a good influence. The bolded part, I've now heard from 3 different people.... for whatever that's worth. EDIT: and confirmed from a simple LinkedIn search. I wonder if he'll accept my add!

Goalie Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Nothing. He works for the Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy. Not really sure what that is to be honest. He's not an employee of the Jets exactly, He's an employee of their hockey academy... I believe it involves working with young kids in the city, i'm not sure tho.

Goalie Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Personally I think they will sign Ladd and trade buff and I think despite Ladds slow start probably due to his off season surgery... it will be the right move. Ladd takes a lot of heat but... he's a guy who plays through injuries and rarely misses a game and the fact that he built a house here and likes it here probably plays a factor. Our lw depth isn't good. Our rhd depth is. Buff will be traded and Ladd will sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our lw depth isn't good. Our rhd depth is. Buff will be traded and Ladd will sign The rumors would seem to point on that direction. That they negotiated with Ladd. Agreed on term. That they never talked to Buff. Supposedly offered him to the Isles. I think most people would keep buff right now and trade Ladd. But long term keeping ladd and trading buff is probably the right move. Sadly buff is really our only bonafide superstar. Perhaps Wheeler though he sort of flies under the radar.

Goalie Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Some rumors out there that the Oilers are very interested in Buff and are talking to the Jets about him. Not sure what it would take but... 2016 1st for sure and then what do they add? Cuz trust me, they add... Not interested in Yakupov or Schultz or guys like that personally.

I've seen saying Edmonton as a trade partner for Buff for ages. Nuge is out there as a possibility. Chevy wanted a top six guy earlier. Buff+ for 1st round & Nuge? Then Nuge allows them to move on from Ladd? Or if they do re-sign Ladd, it makes Nuge the 2LW and pushes Perreault to 3C or 3LW. Perreault-Lowry-Ehlers could be a strong 3rd line. Nuge-Scheif-Stafford as second line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
