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!

Did I mishear Maurice say that Myers is getting close?

Thought last word was he's got a soft tissue issue and they aren't sure how long. Some thought it's his back

They are like anything else, need to be taken in context and not solely relied on. 

As long as they are used as a piece of a larger puzzle, don't think there is anything wrong with them.

Not a big fan of them myself.

Fancy stats say that Thorburn, Burmi, Stafford, Tanev and Chiarot are our worst players... so they're not totally off.

he coach said he was close to getting back on the ice.

PaMa said soon so who knows.

PK% 4th last ... Hawks a little worse and Dallas a little better.

PP% 19th place ... Sens, Bruins, Kings and Stars are worse...Canes and Sabres are a couple teams that are better.

GA per game 8th last.

GF per game tied for 16th.

Goals tied for 15th.

Goals against 3rd last.

Jets on pace for 78 points...

Guess he was just picking the right Alumni game.

13 games this month....anyone want to take a crack at how many points the Jets get?

I think they need to win 8 or 9 to be in a playoff hunt. I see them winning 6 or 7 at best.

I'll say 12 points maybe 13 if lucky.

Burmistrov claimed by the Coyotes, well at least he will enjoy the warm weather, don't how much it helps them, gets rid of some dead weight for us.

this is impossible. No one wants him. He's useless. Should have been sent down ages ago.  Will easily clear waivers. 

Lets send Hutch down too. No one will claim him either 

let's hear from the experts.....

He will not cost us a penny more. I'd say it all worked out as planned.

Our plan worked out perfectly. Not only did we send him down but another team picked him up and he will not cost us a penny more.

Ohhhh I see. Gotcha 

No big loss and shaves money off the salary...Good for him...I wish him all the best....this was the team most speculated would take him if any....Halak been claimed?

2 tours with the Jets didn't live up to his 1st round selection change of scene may do him good probably just winds up in the KHL next year.

Nice to see we don't really have to pick up waiver wire fodder any more...

This illustrates why you don't waive players without significant thought to losing them. Half the team would have been waived according to some here. 

Why you have your shite in a know about losing Burmi?....it is a bonus to the team to lose him and not have to pay him 1.55m on the farm...I am glad he is gone.

Maurice says that he and Burmi differed on what his role on the team should be. Maurice said Burmi is right that he didn't give him the time with players he wanted to play with but why should he have? His play didn't warrant it. I would be surprised if he is still in the league next year.

Room for Comrie on the roster now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

His point isn't about losing Burmi to waivers, I don't think people really care at this point. 

His point is you never know who will clear waivers and who won't.  Even those players that people think are terrible. 

So don't send anyone down, *cough* Hutch *cough*, unless you are prepared to lose them.   And most people don't want to lose Hutch until after the expansion draft.
