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!

Probably for the best.  Even Chevy noted Laine looked tired down the stretch.  Get rested up for a 50 goal season next year.

Fine with me. If I was in NHL I would not be messing up my $ contract for volunteer work.

Uh oh

That's an interesting move for Dallas. Hitchcock only signs one-year deals. Low risk move but it says that they think they're ready to win now (and Hitchcock thinks that too).

Really thought Hitch would retire.

Wonder if Dallas can solve their goaltending problems?

Have to strongly suspect Dallas has assured Hitch they will get some goaltending.

Maybe, boatload of cash tied up there for 2 guys on the wrong side of 30.   Only thing going for DAL is both those guys have just next year left on their deal.

Buyout.

Not that we need it, but another reminder just how small Wpg / Jets fanbase is....

Ryan freakin' McDonagh!?!  No Laine  

 

Completely related to the size of the market, with the exception of Edmonton who had the leading scorer in the league.

Edmonton isn't really an exception though... McDavid should/would be higher if he didn't play in a small market.  The fact that he placed 6th is just a testament to how good he is.

It would be interesting to know what the actual corresponding sales numbers are that go with the rankings.

Ludquist at 5 is about the only thing that REALLY surprised me...

Excellent. Charging among the highest ticket prices in the league.

What's your point? 

It's a business and they told ppl in 2011 ticket prices would rise each year. Welcome to a small Canadian market. Don't like it? Don't go but then don't complain and say stay jets stay when they leave 

15k arena means u charge enough to match 18k was the way i always saw it. does not effect me.

My point was that even though they are on the lower end of total attendance they charge the highest prices so it's all good. 

My post was a positive one, not a criticism.
