Sujet: Welcome to the NHL, Utah
In what seems like a natural fit, the NHL is taking their shot in Utah.

I am interested in the direction this team is going to take under the control of Ryan Smith and the Smith Entertainment Group. With money allocated correctly, numerous draft picks, and changes in player development, it could prove immediately beneficial.

Nothing against Arizona, but if I am a player within the system, I would be excited by this move.

A team name and logo hasn't already been established with Smith stating, "We'll start with Utah on the jersey and we'll figure out the logo and everything else."

So, maybe something similar to the New Jersey Devils 'Jersey' alternate. Which would not be surprising considering the relationship between Ryan Smith and David Blitzer.

Welcome to the NHL, Utah.

Sujet: Edmonton Oilers signed Zach Hyman (7 Years / $5,500,000 AAV)
For the record, I am a Leafs fan and ultimately I do hope they win, even when I chirp them. But, I am also a hockey fan.

I just don't need to have a name like, Leafsfan16 or something like that.

Apparently the majority of Toronto fans are repressing their memories.

Let me remind you of how this scenario went down, before Hyman was given away to Edmonton, for nothing.

It was league wide knowledge Hyman was looking for an extension of $5 million a season to stay in Toronto. If you can't see the value in that, there's not much more I can say.


I remember when Toronto traded Kadri away, and he went on to win it all with Colorado. Then he parlayed a Stanley Cup win into a new contract with the Calgary Flames. All while donating $1million of his own money and receiving a surgical unit named after him, called the Nazem Kadri Surgical Centre located in his hometown of London, Ontario.

Life goes on, even after you leave Toronto. Toronto didn't want either of these two. So, if you're able to win somewhere else, all the power to you.

I personally liked these two, I also like Sandin, Schenn, O'Reilly, Lafferty and the list goes on.

If these players are able to win somewhere else because Toronto doesn't know simple math, it's their own fault.

Why would Leaf fans not want Hyman at this # for 7 years?

Toronto just recently signed Nylander to $11.5 for 8 years and he'll be turning 36 years old in the final year of his deal.

Hasn't Toronto had Muzzin on the LTIR for the last 3 years, making over $5.5 million a season? This year Muzzin is also getting a scouting contract on top of his LTIR contract.

Even when Hyman was in Toronto, he was more than worth this number. He played first or second line regularly, and if you can get a guy at this #, that can play on your first or second line, that's a deal.

He is born in Toronto and he wanted to stay in Toronto.

This is an all heart type of player, with an endless motor, who just keeps going.


People want to hate on Holland, but he has won, multiple times.

He has assembled a team with solid depth, with guys like Kane, Nugent-Hopkins, Hyman, Perry, and Bouchard all on very good deals, that he signed.

This is how you win.

Sujet: Why is Kevin Cheveldayoff still a GM in this league?
I have had this thread on this site since July of last year and no one has provided a rational and/or logical response as to why Kevin Cheveldayoff should be a GM in this league, because you can't...

I want to point it out that this thread is, the most viewed thread in the Winnipeg Jets section, I believe ever. So, maybe there is something to the question I proposed.

For context, there are posts missing on this thread because a couple 'tough guys' are unable to articulate their point without providing some tough guy language. Until they meet a real tough guy.



I already knew the answer to this question I asked back in July, and most people know it as well. The truth is I don't really care about this situation in Winnipeg, or whether they stay or leave.

So, I was glad I could provide the Jets' fans with something thoughtful and engaging to read.


Sincerely,

Not a Kevin Cheveldayoff fan.
