Around The NHL 2016/2017


Recommended Posts

Nothing wrong with the Matthias signing. He's essentially what we want Lowry & Dano to be - but he's already established & proven. Great bottom 6 guy, and if it means no more Thorburn & Peluso in a Jets sweater, even better.

Re: Trouba. Best news is no news, IMO. We have the whole summer to sign him and have all the power. The market has dictated that he's worth around $5M a season, and certainly not what his rumoured ask is. Be patient. Wait, he'll come around.

Isles overpay Ladd. Why not just keep Okposo, if you could?

I love what Lucic brings and even at the overpay, Oilers might be ready to push for a playoff spot this year.

Vancouver.... Get a clue. Honestly. What the heck is that franchise trying to accomplish this season, long term, in general? No idea.

Lastly: following this all from a house boat on Lake of the Woods. Boys and girls, this is the life. Happy Canada Day MBB! You're all gems!

why do I have a feeling that Trouba is going to string us the same way Kane did during the 2012 off-season

Mattias 6'4 231lbs

Age 28, 12 goals 16 helpers, 71 games

Lowry 6'5 210lbs

Age 23, 7 goals 10 helpers, 74 games

 

 

Yup. They want more out of Lowry and this is a player that will push him. Could be either one gets pushed down to the 4th line and if so that's not bad for the depth.  

Worse case the Moose also benefit but I'd susoext Chevy has some irons in the fire on the trade front

Please don't get confused by Mathias size he does not play a heavy game, he has good hands and is a good skater with speed. some people were calling for the Jets to add a complimentary player and that's what he is. If he score's 10 goals and pk's well then the signing is adequate.
