Well since the NHL has officially called a press conference at MTSC tomorrow and it's been the talk of sloets radio since Thursday, shall we debate who our alumni are?

Sounds like it will be made up of Winnipeg hockey players. So Jets 1.0 and Potentially Moose. Don't think they will include any thrashers unless they were also jets (Keith Tkachuk)

Hawerchuk will be at the presser tomorrow so he's a lock.  Selanne??  

For the love of God, no alumni game featuring 80s Oilers vs  80s Jets.

So you want all the best jets and oilers to not come?  Good thing you're not head of marketing!

Don't care about the score of an alumni game but it would be great optically if  some of the greats of both teams played that day.

         

 

Would expect Selanne, Tkachuk, Steen among others.  Wonder what jersey they will wear. 

Ab Macdonald dropping the puck?

They all wore the better way better but still garbage V1B jerseys so hopefully those.

Who else? Maclean, Lukowich, Smail, Carlyle.

Running out of q names.

Mullen, Babych, Ellet, McBain?

Zhamnov and Housley would be good.

 

 

Numminen, Olcyck (if he can make it), Domi?

Jets 1.0 had a lot on quality players it's just to bad the Oilers had better, we really have a lot of alumni to choose from and hopefully many can come back for what will be a great event.

Essensa in net?

Pokey and the Bandit

How many do u need for an alumni game anyway? 20 is really scratching at threads.

Id vote essensa and Khabbi. That's my era. 

I'd be somewhat surprised if the Jets don't invite some of the WHA jets to come play.... if they can cuz you can bet your ass that our 3rd jersey will be a tribute to our WHA days. 

Hawerchuk Teemu Numminen Housley Manson Zhamnov Steen Tkachuk. Throw in a WHA player or 2... if they can still go. Khabibulin would be very cool. He was the best goalie in jets 1.O history IMO

I hope it's the 90's jersey. Best jets jersey ever. They better come out to "Jump" too

get Kurt Kielbach to call the game. They won't but that would really be embracing the concept. 

This guy ...

This is pretty sweet too ...

Not a chance. Chipman has already subtly mentioned a tribute to the WHA Jets with a 3rd jersey.

Mark Kumpel, Tim Trimper, Jordy Douglas ugh :-)

Reunite the Selanne-Zhammov-Thachuk line.

Smail, Steen, Boschman, Hawerchuck etc

How about Steve Penny in goal?

Jim Kyte has to be there. Dave Ellett to. He had one of the biggest goals in Jets history.

Kris King, Tie Domi.... Shane Doan lol

Gotta have Teppo and Olausson on defense.

Goalie wise it has to be Essensa and either Hayward or the Bandit...

It would be criminal for Borsato to not get the call also
