I still remember when he flew up here on his dime to check the place out because his team mates were calling him, as the Captain, asking what was up with Winnipeg... I will be in attendance tonight - section 324 whaaaaat up?! I'll certainly give him a standing O during player intro's, and hopefully a few cheers when he touches the puck or lays a check.

Floyd Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 If he's so bummed about leaving Winnipeg, then just sign here in free agency... $6 mill for four years. Problem solved, everybody happy again. Brandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems Jets have come up as much as they are willing and he's come down as much as he's willing. That wont change in July when 29 other teams are offering deals.

Floyd Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Took a quick look at Jets advanced stats... Ladd is about middle of the pack - if Chevy is a stats freak like we're told, then there's no way he can go over $6 mill with him What is clear is that Burmi, Stuart and Thorburn have to go... consistently the worst ranking players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigg jay Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Quote Sara Orlesky ✔ @saraorlesky Not that the rumour mill needs more fuel, but Stan Bowman is taking in the #NHLJets game tonight.

Aside from the fact that Burmi was on the 3rd line for most of the season, Thorbs for a good chunk too Stuart is basically our worst penalty killer yet had been PK for a huge part of the season... Thats a concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jets have made the decision, why risk injury and why have a player who is helping you potentially win when that is counter productive right now? I think the only thing you gain by waiting is hoping for a crazy bidding war. But there are risk. And Chevy strikes me as a pragmatist who wont wait just to wait. If he gets what he wants, pull the trigger now. Jimmy Pop and kelownabomberfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's right around the same as Enstrom and Wheeler. I didn't say he took too many. He just takes stupid penalties in the offensive zone. I watched him take a cross-checking penalty right in front of me at the Arizona game in the offensive zone for absolutely no reason, just cross-checked OEL right in the back. Granted OEL went down like a wet noodle and cried out like a baby, but it was just dumb. Anyway, Ladd is a good player, which is why his trade value right now is so high. He'd bolster anybody's team for a playoff run, especially when the refs aren't calling the chicken **** cross checking crap in front of the net that Ladd gets dinged for all too often.

The Unknown Poster Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Id even say it could get done today but with at least scouts in attendance tonight that probably earns them all the chance to make their final offer tomorrow... Although, dont they know what they have in Ladd? So who are they scouting? Perhaps its a bigger deal and they are scouting secondary pieces.

Floyd Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 randy turner ✔ @randyturner15 If Chevy is going to roll dice with Ladd better get 1st, top prospect AND replace $4.4 M salary. Otherwise #NHLJets just spinning wheels. Anyone understand what this tweet is supposed to mean? Replace his salary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 I think he means for next year, they better pay someone in UFA for the $4.5M to get an experienced player in the lineup. Not to replace Ladd with a rookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first thought when I saw that Bowman is going to be in the house tonight. Ladd is a known quantity but if it's a package deal then they may want more info.
