time for a new thread for a new season that begins today. Canada Day. Free Agent Frenzy. 

Will the Jets trade Trouba?  Will they resign Scheif to an 8 year deal?  

Will Boston, as heavily rumoured, offer sheet Trouba?  What about the rumours of the Jets in a three way deal with Edmonton and Avs?

Stay tuned! 

Jets will either sign or trade trouba b4 then. Just a matter of time

 

I say he is signed with the Jets by November 25.

This is pretty interesting considering there is allegedly video of the incidents.  But not uncommon in a "first offense" situation (though not usually one with video I would think).

So I guess Buffalo is sort of a good news/bad news place for bad boy hockey stars.  Bad in that they get into trouble but good in that the trouble goes away.

It is like a conditional discharge, He has to keep the peace for 6 months.

Not so crazy bout OTT asking him to play though.

“Given that they’re in the wait period and Andrew Hammond’s (hurt), Nicholle told Craig to phone me, which he did during the game. We talked to Craig after the game and it was determined that because they’re in a wait period and they were going to drive to Ottawa together as a family today that it would be all right for Craig to come and rejoin his team.”

"The mere fact that he flew from his family home in Florida to Edmonton at Nicholle’s urging was impressive enough."

They still asked him.

The Isles screwed up...they let Okposo go and he signed for 6m for 7 years. They signed Ladd for 5.5m for 7 years. Ladd has 1 point in 9 games and Okposo has 7 points in 7 games. Okposo is younger and better as well. I know they play opposite wings but why not re-sign Okpsos?

I took Ladd in my pool.  What a mistake.  Jets looks even smarter today for moving away from Ladd and not giving him $6m+.  And they have Ladd for SEVEN years?

I wonder if he dresses for the Caps game? Does he have to dress if he is an injury call up?

I think thats only after the deadline when you have a limited number of call-ups... I think. 

Thorbs and Burmi can sit, let Dano and Copp start. Start Helle again and put Hutch in for Friday.

I'm not necessarily saying Ladd's worth his contract but it is early in the season, I wouldn't give up on Ladd just yet.

Based on what Lawless has said,   the reason Copp isn't playing is because they want him to gain much more experience in the AHL rather then him sitting and playing crap minutes with the big team.   I'm in favour of them doing this. 

Now Dano sitting... that seems to be a waste to me.

I'd rather have Okposo. Averaged over 61 points a year for the last 3 seasons and is three years younger.

Speaking of the Islanders...

That's interesting but not surprising.

I think Chevy was fortunate to keep Buff and not Ladd. Thank goodness Ladd held out for more money! He got it and the Islanders will be saddled with that contract for seven years.

The poor GM that replaces Snow will curse his name everyday.

That's just an awful contract.  I wonder what the next best offer was.  7 years?  Even if the money wasnt too much for Ladd, that length is atrocious. 

Sucks to be the Sabres

Staf Myers Bogo and Kane all not playing...

Bogo can not stay healthy ever

He's not alone Kane, Myers too.

It's made even worse with all the bonus money. Can't buy it out.

Albatross.
