It's ridiculous to say it ain't over.
We're 9 back and they have 2 in hand. And like 6 or 7 teams we gotta leapfrog.


Forget playoffs, just getting out of the bottom 5 in the league is gonna be extremely tough
- HB77

Weve got something like 27 games left and 11 are away, 14 are at home. Seeing our home record, I think 9 wins is manageable at home. Maybe 4 on the road. Thatd give us 35 wins which is at least a step back in the right direction. More than that would be cool though.

Doing bettr than I thought but I believe hes being sheltered pretty hard with Little and Lowry taking the tougher minutes. Nuge represents extra value at forward that they may find valuable. Im not saying its guaranteed, but Ive heard they want to be better at C and theyre open to offers on Trouba.
- MaximumBone

I personally don't watch a ton of Winnipeg so I don't really know much of Trouba, but from what I've seen, he's pretty smooth skating and he's pretty damn smart. You know I'm poopty at valuing players, but if a opportunity arises where we can get Trouba and it includes Nuge going the other way, I'd take it. No place for nuge anymore.

READ MY MATH MATE. TOOK AWHILE TO COMPLETE.

But (frank) eh, hope they trade that pick.

For sure it is

At this point, We get out of the bottom 5 and I'll take it quite happily. Regardless of measureable points. Just get out of bottom feeder territory

Here's some prospect defenesemen.

Simpson: 1 goal, 8 points in 32 GP (AHL)
Musil: 3 goals, 9 points in 42 GP (AHL)
Oesterle: 2 goals, 19 points in 35 GP (AHL)

Bear: 12 goals, 51 points in 54 GP (CHL)
Jones: 8 goals, 42 points in 54 GP (CHL)

Lagesson: 2 goals, 6 points in 20 GP (NCAA)

Paigin: 9 goals, 26 points in 35 GP (KHL)


Looking at the stats (can't watch these games) I think our top 3 D-man prospects that aren't talked about a lot are Ethan Bear, Caleb Jones and Ziyat Paigin.

Bear shoots right and putting up very good numbers for a defenseman

Paigin is playing with men and still putting up very soild numbers and 2 years ago the Kazan Ak-Bars (wow) were the runner up for the championship.

Jones is related to Seth. Nough said.

26 games left, so 52 points up for grabs and currently we have 49. Last year, Calgary snuck in with 97. To get to 97 points, Edmonton needs 48 (frank)ing points. Do the math EdmHockeyMan


To get in the playoffs, we can maybe lose 4 games and that's if you think the Pacific is bad.

I think we were actually in a playoff spot overnight at some point. Should shown that pic.

God Im pathetic

I think I have it somewhere. Really sad though. Maybe a new arena and jerseys will help us win? Who knows

Seen and played against bear lots back in the day. Always had a killer shot and was always the best player on the ice

listen to drew and his partner kevin is as mundane as read a Ryan Garner blog.

Maybe you don't keep up with current events, but it's because JB is a retard.

Everyone has to have their hobbies.

Loving how the Toronto media guys are all slobbering all over McDavid's knob this morning. You will never get this. You will never get this. Wawawewoo!

McDavid for JVR, Bozak, and a 2nd

Because he is really good at reporting the current news. He is a journalist don't forget about that

What do oil fans think of trouba for RNH? I'm a jets fan and I find it interesting but would be scared with sheif and RNH a little as both get hurt but upside could be great. I'm not adding anything on our end in my opinion. I also think if you guys win the draft lottery maybe trouba plus petan or burmistrov or josh Morrisey and our first! Thoughts?

What's the talk in 'Peg about Trouba's contract situation? Is he really asking for $7mil?

McDavid for JVR, Bozak, and a 2nd

I think they would have to add Horton and a 3rd

No to Trouba for RNH. If he wants Byfuglien money, he can go fist himself. He is not a 1st pairing defender yet. He might be someday but he isn't currently. Petan can (frank) right off. I'd rather have Lemieux. Burmistrov is meh.
