Hey Memarcus and Islandjet, Jets jerseys are on sale rn on Lids website. $45 from $249, absolutely huge sale. Another indicator of their rebrand coming.

Thanks for the info. I for one prefer their new jerseys to the vintage ones.

I personally think they'll be going with the Heritage jerseys as their permanent. Clean unis

Well the leafs just got rid of the best GM they had in their franchises history. I'm ready to hop onto a new bandwagon wagon at this point. Whoever gets him will be getting debatably the best GM in the NHL ( Yzerman probably has him beat. ) hoping John Chayka replaces him.

What made him the best GM? I dont think he was horrible, but don't think he's the best.

IMO. Keefe shoulda went, not Dubas.

He found a way to fill a competitive roster with limited cap space and find the most out of cheap players. He made some mistakes but they were rookie mistakes that he will learn from.

Agree0 Disagree1

09 May 2023 13:20:29
Assuming that the Leafs don't pull off a massive comeback Dubas should be calling Arizona about a sign and trade of Matthews's for Cooley and #6 or #12. I truly don't know where Matthews value is at. Trade would improve Arizona's market with acquiring the hometown kid while still holding on to a piece like Keller to build with. Leafs get the much needed cap relief. A prospect who already has chemistry with our top prospect and another highere end draft pick. Guess it all depends on how much Arizona values that 8th year on the contract.

Playoff time!!!!!


Predictions???

I'm gonna say Edmonton Vs NYR

McDavid will do McDavid things.... and Shesterkin will do JS Gigiere/Patrick Roy things.


Oilers win in 6.
McDavid Conn Smythe 14 goals.. 25 assist. 39 points.

Well im already out . suprised Rangers lost.

Agree0 Disagree0

As the regular season is getting ready to wrap up, just was thinking about it. Wow, it's been an entertaining season forsure!

Suprises
Boston- I thought this was the year they would be surpassed by either or all of Ottawa/Detroit/Buffalo.. let alone probably set the record for wins in a season.

New Jersey- didn't see this coming.. thought they were a couple years out still

Eric Karlsson- I thought this guy was done being an offensive juggernaut about 5 years ago.

Josh Morrissey- always pegged him to be about a 45 point guy.

RNH- although he has McDavid and Draisitle as teammates, never figured him to maybe hit 100pts

Seattle Kraken- when they picked that roster a couple years ago, I thought was gonna be a minimum 5 years before they were competitive

Arber Xhekai-

Some of the disappointments

Huberdeau- not even close to a point per game player. Doesn't fit in Sutters system

Ottawa Senators- really thought they were gonna be better , although some guys have had really good individual seasons, the team still isn't playoff bound.

Everyone finishing lower than Montreal- I really was hoping for best odds at Bedard

Vancouver Canucks uppermanagement- the way they handled Beadreau was ine of the worst things I've seen in hockey.

Jurai Slafkovsky- im being a little harsh, as he just turned 19 and had missed the 2nd half . When he was on the team, he looked like he was so hesitant. Was more worried about making mistakes( which he made alot of) instead of just playing his game.

Anyway, I know I'm missing lots.. just some of my 2 cents about this season so far.. nice to see the offense up , maybe even see 5 guys hit 50+ if Ranntanen and Point get there( glad Matthews isn't one of em)🤣🤣

This is the 1st time in Morrissey's NHL career he was allowed to play an offensive game as he did in junior.

Agree0 Disagree0

06 Apr 2023 16:12:39
I thought everyone saying Boston wasn’t going to make the playoffs was out to lunch but I thought they’d be in a wild card spot and not setting records. I think the biggest disappointment for me is Flordia coming off a presidents trophy to maybe the 8th wildcard spot.

Hard to beat Morrisey for biggest breakout. I knew Karlsson was going to have a good season after Burns left because he got that top pp to himself but I thought 60-70 points and not 90. That’s crazy good for him and I hope he’s traded to Edmonton in the offseason so he can hopefully win a cup or Atleast make that PP the most exciting thing the NHL has seen in a long time.

Aside from Huberdeau i thought Sieder would’ve took a bigger step in his game offensively Not sure if I’d label that as a huge disappointment tho. Freddy Anderson for me has been a let down.

Bonus most underrated young player and imo should win the Calder———- Marcel Mancelli the biggest bright spot on the joke of the Coyotes organization. After absolutely dominating the AHL last season he’s developed into a top 6 playmaker with potential to be well over a point per game with good linemates. Think Robert Thomas when he plays wing.

Agree0 Disagree0

31 Mar 2023 19:38:28
Is Josh Anderson the most overrated player in the NHL? Now I'll acknowledge he is big and fast and throws around his body with a decent scoring touch. He's a really good 3rd liner. But when put in a top 6 position he just doesn't have the hockey sense to play with elite player nor the play making skills to make people better. People act like he's a bonafide top 6 winger and is worth his contract when his only season over 51 points came in Bantam. I'd much prefer a player like Perron over Anderson IMO because Perron can make his teammates better and Anderson doesn't

Believable2 Unbelievable0

31 Mar 2023 21:28:25
He is overrated forsure. However his value isn't just in points. He's a heavy player. Those guys are valuable when the time comes. I seen that a couple years ago when they made the final.
Ya hes a really good 3rd liner, and he's a borderline 2nd. I've never really seen him be able to fit on a line.
He has a lot of good tools, with the size and speed, however VB, as you said his hockey sense is lacking .
I was hoping he'd be a 30 to 35 goal guy, but that's not gonna happen.

I personally really like having him on Montreal, however I will admit I am often wishing for more from him.

Agree2 Disagree0

04 Apr 2023 03:04:12
I agree with everything you said but not the Boarderline second. At a 3-4 mil cap hit any team would love to have him on there 3rd line but a competitive team can’t have them in there top 6. Some guys like Nyquist, Kerfoot, Laughton, etc can play top 6 effectively ( boarderline ) because they can make players around them better with there hockey sense but Anderson would be a anchor due to his hockey sense in a top 6 role. I’d rather have Anderson on a 3rd line then any of those guys tho because he brings a special element with a scoring touch but you don’t want him touching your top 6 in any circumstance.

Agree0 Disagree0

04 Apr 2023 09:21:16
Well VB. I dunno, maybe your right. However of the 3 players you mentioned as examples, id take Anderson over them anyday on my team over them.

Agree1 Disagree0

05 Apr 2023 22:52:03
If cap hit wasn’t a thing I would too but not in a top 6 position. Those 3 guys can find chemistry with anyone.

The way the Winnipeg Jets are playing right now I'm starting to think the Jets should do a complete rebuild. Do a fire sale in the off-season. The core group just not working, it's time to hit the reset button. I believe they could get a lot of prospects and draft picks to start over. New coach same results !!!
Thinking if they did just a retool, the results would be the same.
Also think Cheveldayoff has to go. He has done nothing to really improve this team.
It's like he is scared to do anything major. There are other options.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

27 Mar 2023 05:08:02
I think that might be a bit drastic. Maybe more retool than rebuild.? They have good core peices with Hellybuck, and Morrissey.
Scheifele, although not Superstar, is good number 1 center. PLD, Ehlers, and Perfetti all are above average forward to continue to build around.

I think some tweaks, move on from Wheeler and see what happens.

Agree1 Disagree0

27 Mar 2023 13:18:46
I think a lot will depend on what Scheifele and Hellebuyck are thinking after this season. If neither are winning to extend after this season, then it may be time to move on from them, which would signal a rebuild.

Agree0 Disagree0

27 Mar 2023 17:32:20
This team needs a new, younger coach from a winning organization that will bring a fresh approach to the game.
The Jets have the talent but are still lacking the leadership to get the most out of it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hard to believe Danny heatley is only 42 growing up he was my favourite player. It seems like he's been out of the NHL forever. How did he manage to go from a near Ovechkin caliber goal scorer to absolutely atrocious in the span of a few seasons. Did he have the biggest decline in NHL history not including 1 year wonders like Chechoo ( ironically was traded for heatley when I was 9 years old at the time )

Believable0 Unbelievable0

19 Mar 2023 18:35:16
Ya, Dany Heatley was quite the mystery. Looked like a 1st ballot Hall of Famer, then looked like he should be in rhe ECHL.
I wonder if mental health got in the way? I'm speculating that this might be the case. With the car accident of Dan Snyder. Although he put up good numbers in Ottawa after the accident. I also remember hearing rumors of substance/ alchol abuse., however I can't verify those either.

There havs been a few guys that went from Stud to Dud, but his was pretty sudden. Should have scored at least 500 goals and been in the Hall.

Agree1 Disagree0

24 Mar 2023 20:36:21
I’d say there is a very, very high chance supstance abuse played a huge role in his downfall.

Holland talked to Puljujarvi about an extension in the 1M’s and Puljujarvi was okay with the money but he thought a fresh start would be better. Makes me think he never asked for a trade. I think a new opportunity is what he wanted but it sounded like it was a hard decision.

McKinnon signing for 12.6M and Pasternak signing for 11.25M shows they didn’t take discounts to stay. They both had no leverage on the their first contracts and probably got what they deserved. This is their critical money making contract that will make 90% of their career earnings and they took full advantage. Now on their next contracts sure I can see them taking less to stay. I believe Nuge did it, Kane potentially, Barrie (who I hope takes less to come back on his next contract) .

Believable0 Unbelievable0

07 Mar 2023 01:09:34
The way I look at it if you take a discount as a union man to stay at a specific work site you’re a awful person I don’t care if you have family there. unions are meant to make sure people get what they are deserved and aren’t taken advantage of. Taking a discount is bad for the rest of the NHL because it effects the comparable contracts used by management and in term makes others less money. The owners are billionaires. They can afford to pay the players much more then what they’re paying them for the most part.

Agree0 Disagree0

07 Mar 2023 23:31:27
I agree when it comes to these big dollar contracts but when it comes to a veteran who has already made his money I don’t see a problem with it. I just wanted to point out that the people that say McDavid and Matthews and whatever top players should have taken less like McKinnon they’re wrong. Or that Boston has a culture of taking less and Pasternak will do the same were wrong.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Mar 2023 19:40:03
Yeah for sure there is term thrown around in unions for the older members “ he served his time and payed his dues” I think that applys to the tenured vets.

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Mar 2023 23:06:39
I also contradict myself a little because I think Campbell would have been smart to take say 4.75M instead of 5M and Nurse 8.75M instead of 9.25M. They would just take way less heat for there play if there salary started with one smaller of a number.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2023 13:05:05
Who cares about heat realistically. I’ll take the extra half of million to pay for Vegas therapy.

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Mar 2023 17:32:06
Edmonton media/ fans play at least a small part of who stay and who goes. Fans hated Justin Schultz, Lucic, half and half on Puljujarvi and they all got moved possibly because of it. I don’t know how these guys value 500K when your making 9M so hard to say but it might be worth it to not get ripped on Twitter all time.
