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! 

It's to early to worry about where they are in the standings. Being this high up in the standings with half a moose roster is reason for optimism tho.  

Say what you want about any of these guys but.... 

Little Perreault Armia stafford myers Mathias Connor are all hurt. Those aren't minor losses. Those are huge losses. 3 top 6 players. A top d man. And some bottom 6 players. Huge losses. No other team has had to deal with that

TSN's stats referred to 6 top-9 players on IR.  Thats unbelievable.  Two full lines in the top 9 on injured reserve.  Not many times can absorb that and win.  The Jets have actually done very well.

And whether we like it or not.... those top 6 players are little Perreault and stafford. Mathias armia Connor are bottom 6

Perreault top 6? I like him but has he been top 6 since first year?

 

 

I would say that Buffalo almost equals or surpasses our injury woes.....let's not forget Trouba wasn't here for some of these games too. I was just pointing out that it is early and you also have to look at the ampunt of games played and the games in hand when you are looking at standings.

Yup. We do though need to stop the bleeding.

We've been managing nicely until this 3 game losing streak. Go five hundred from here until Little and company get back and we'll be okay.

Vegas will reveal their name and logo at 7:30 tonight.  Rumours are "Desert Knights" is eliminated.  it will be Silver Knights or Golden Knights, both of which suck.

Has to be the Las Vegas Strippers.

It works on so many levels!

I haven't seen that before.

It says the Jets will travel ~8,000 fewer miles this year over last. If accurate, that's pretty incredible. We're nowhere near the top in terms of miles traveled.

ya and I thought we would be right up there...

Wow. Brent Burns got PAID.

 

He'll be 39(?) when this contract is done.

Wow.

Chevy looks like a genius once again.

That's a stupid contract. What happens when he retires?  Still cost Sharks right?

NHL gm's just can't help themselves, yes he was an upcoming UFA but nobody was going to give him that contract.

I wonder if the Sharks were worried he'd be the only fish in the FA pond this summer?  Partially explains the term.... dollar wise it seems pretty fair.

How is it fair? You're going to pay him $8M when he's 37? 38? 39?

I know it's AAV but it's an anchor. Seems desperate for a player that's already at your club.

Dollar value is probably right on but the term is way to much, 6 would have been much better, can't see him playing til his 40

I said dollar wise it's fair.  It's the term that's the problem.  Give Burns Buff's contract and it's done when he's 36.  That's more palatable. 

And you're right, it is desperate.  That was my point - - I think they looked at the upcoming crop of FAs and went, **** OUR guy is really the only notable star out there.

My point is that it's only fair dollar wise, if it's for a shorter term. If you're tacking on 3 garbage years, the AAV should go way down.

The most he could get on the market is 7 years. So why pay him for 8 and not get a discount at all?

I'm glad the Sharks are paying him and not us for those terms.

 

Nope. It's Vegas Golden Knights. 

That's my understanding at least. 

I thought maybe they would call them the Silver Knights being that Nevada is the Silver State

Vegas Golden Nuggets. That's what I'm calling them.
