Sujet: DeMelo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Are you still pumped about the two trades??
The more I think about it the worse I think they are, just blocked Heinola and Dillon is an older version of Stanley and Samberg, don't see the point in blocking those two and almost $10M to two 30 year old dmen for another 3 years when there's RFA'S to sign might be an issue.
Still think they really need a top 6 upgrade and another new face in the bottom 6 with some sandpaper to his game if they really are trying to contend. If they can move DeMelo and Copp to get/fit those guys they should do it.</div></div>
This is the push in my opinion, with a proper bridge on stanley, we still might not be sitting that badly with the elc to offset the costs of future contracts on heinola and samberg. But yes hopefully it doesn’t get right in the way of development. I think this squad is a bargain at 45-1 to win cup, need a mighty bounce back from Dubois, and a winger to take the job beside him and run with it and ehlers, possibly 6 months of stasny and then possibly perfetti. Copp Lowry and add name is the same as always, and then a 4th line of hopefully some kids and possibly a veteran bargain that could challenge for a higher spot. Missing back up goalie money could be an issue and spending on final sandpaper spots, possibly 2lw and 4th line but a lot of that could be filled at trade deadline with injury money or a lot of the costs all ready spent. I’m tossing 300 on Jets to win cup at 45-1.

Sujet: With Dillon
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>No doubt these two dmen will help but Schmidt has a big personality along with a big cap hit, gotta wonder how he'll fit in with old man Wheeler.

Also both Dillon and Schmidt carry some risk as they have term and are 30, I know I **** about Chevy not doing enough but idk about these moves.. Lol

Guess this means another year in the A for Samsung and Heinola, when do you think Heinola makes his trade request?

With Little on LTIR, Copp signed for 4, Pionk a little over 5, Stanley bridged for a bit more then $1M, Berdin at back up and a couple league minimum forwards signed and Beaulieu as the 7th dman they just fit under the cap so idk how this fits, hope it means Copp is being traded as I'm tired of watching him.. Lol</div></div>

I know never to be excited in July, but I’m excited, I think this is legit contender status, possibly the best blueline we have ever had, Schmidt brings back our buffy swagger, pionk is 10 times the blueliner that Trouba is, possibly not that high, but don’t get in the way of my july excitement lol. Jets would never do it buts time for a copp/heinola deal to go get somebody legit top 6 winger, pace stastney and have a legit forward group to go with blueline. Probably could use tanev, Appleton, and one of the fleurys for depth if they hit payroll wise. Finally a swing, it’s a Winnipeg swing, but ill take it.

Sujet: Likely a boring offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Did you even see PLD play in Winnipeg? He was terrible.. Lol

Wheeler is an asshole and it's known around the league, it's obvious the problems in the room still exist with the captain being the problem.

Ehlers and Laine would've been magic together this season I bet, what a shame we didn't get to see it.

Think we're jumping the gun on Perfetti, he's gonna take a bit to develop yet imo.</div></div>

I was surprised that there was no list of injuries on Dubois, he truly looks to me like he lost a step at 22, I keep going back to hopefully getting fire and passion back over a somewhat normal offseason. But damn would that suck if him and Gustafson are in a fight for 2/4 line center with Lowry and scheifele holding down the other two. So many bad lazy habits to break also, can take some of that if the contributions are high enough, but so bad for moral. Hopefully new dude in sept.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Well it'll wear thin on fans, the western conference finals may have been pricey for some but the Jets arent as big of a draw as they were and they're playing boring hockey, have heard the waiting list for season tickets has shrunk a lot, ownership better not take their fans for granted with this do nothing GM and a coach who loves dull, boring hockey.</div></div>
Ya definitely time for some heads to roll, they are doing something right drafting, but there’s definitely a problem at moose or east coast or just the plain stupidity of continuing to put veteran roadblocks in front of every kid. Draft and develop team can’t be that stupid with Maurice always siding with vets. Where’s the burrows, bieksas, and other guys that helped canucks to finals in 11

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Sorry I wanted to reply to you in another thread about Hamilton the other day but was in an area with crappy cell service which was making things difficult.. Lol

I think it's best they move on from Scheifele in the last year of his deal, don't want him to pollute the next group of kids who will make up the next core, idk what they'll do though, probably sign him to an anchor contract to replace Wheeler's anchor contract.. Lol

Have heard Scheifele isn't happy with his contract or happy in Winnipeg(he's clearly changed the last few years, looks grumpy and whining to the refs all the time) so who knows, maybe he'll want to move on anyway.</div></div>
Winnipeg basically needs to learn Tb ray baseball rules and have the players from 18/22 to 27/29 and basically keep flipping back younger til you can take your shot and bottom out and do it all again. I’m sure the fanbase would rather have a legit shot every 5 years over there favourite player being there for a career. Help jersey sales anyway, I would be a little pissed if I was scheifele too, always the middle of everything without a whole lot of back up. I guess it’s kind of his own fault if he’s the one the rode laine out of town. He needs a grinder/skater over anything Wheeler can offer him now, and a elite scorer to finish.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Ultimately it starts at the top with the owner(Chipman not Thomson), there's no accountability and you can hear it in their interviews, Wheeler talks a good talk but he'll never take responsibility for anything, Maurice and Chevy have an arrogance to them, Maurice is practically telling fans who question his methods to **** off in some interviews.

As much as we all hope to see things change realistically nothing is changing until there's a management change, one who'll hold everyone to account and keep the owner in his place, Chevy and Mary seem safe for quite awhile.</div></div>
Respectable bubble team, that’s in the conversation that brings in a few shiny new rookies for jersey sales, and continue on. Trip to conference finals just about broke fanbase financially. My biggest pet peeve of a sports franchise, I was thinking of going ufa fan lol
