This is an interesting way to announce you don’t pay attention to the games. Excellent self-own.

You so funny. Yeah, at the home games, I try to follow Mick E. Moose as he goes from section to section, and when I watch the tv games, I count how many times Dennis Beyak says "tight turn". I guess I should pay closer attention to the game, because in your opinion, I know nothing about hockey.

No GM is perfect....they all make mistakes.

Ours does not make as many as others, because he never really does anything!

Probably the most innactive GM in any of the 4 major sports leagues. Never seen a guy take his name so literally.

You are talking to a guy that believes that Andrew Copp is just as good as Niklas Backstrom.

I wrote an email to the Jets today asking them to create a Copp and Laine poster. Next year that will be the dynamic duo that the entire NHL will be watching. It's going to be the best combo ever assembled!

Don’t forget such classics as “carom of the end boards” or “______ gets a piece of it”

He’s almost as good. Uncle Nick isn’t what he used to be, and Copp is underrated and underplayed.
It’s the same as saying Laine and Ovechkin are basically the same. Laine isn’t close to his peak, and Ovechkin isn’t anywhere near his old dominance

We used it so we wouldn't have to trade our core group RFAs. In particular, it helped us bridge Morrissey so we wouldn't lose him. Ehlers had also signed a 7 year deal the previous season that was kicking in and it saved us from going over.

I'm try to look on the positives. The hockey Gods tend to balance things out. With Montreal and Chicago causing upsets, the Jets moved down from 12th to 10th. The way the lottery is stacked for the worst teams. The Jets were more likely to drop in the lottery than move up before we created a qualifying round. They were projected to be 18th if they finished the season and would most likely be in the 20s if they made it past the qualifier to face disappointment in the later rounds.

We've drafted 3 times in the top and landed Mark Scheifele, Jacob Trouba and Nikolaj Ehlers. We've landed Kyle Connor at 17 and Morrissey at 13. With this being the deepest draft in years, we can make up for gambling and missing the last 2 years as we should be getting a very good player to our development core.

I still hate that trade, should've got rid of someone else to create cap space then lose Armia for nothing.

They really need to nail this 1st round pick and it should absolutely be used on a center, it's the organization's weakest position and greatest short and long term need by far.

Do you see any centre picked 10th overall making a Maurice lineup full time any time in the next 2-3 years? Or any player even.

Not in the 20-21 season, maybe 21-22 at the earliest, it is what it is with Maurice as a coach.

I would go with the best player available outside of left d or goalie.

Lindell is the safe and could be the best pick since centers from junior can still be wingers.

Just trade that pick for somebody who can be a productive player for the next 3-5 years. Instead of waiting on a maybe 2 plus years from now.

Pittsburgh gets bounced early in the play-in rounds and three assistant coaches lose their jobs.

In Winnipeg no matter how the team plays all the assistant coaches and the head coach keep their jobs. Being a Jets coach is the safest position in all of pro-sports.

I would totally trade the pick, especially if it means that we correct our center problem!

Todd Woodcroft left to coach NCAA. That opens 1 assistant position. I give Charlie Huddy a pass this year since Chevy gave him AHL d-men. I don't know what Woodcroft's role was but I hope he was responsible for planning our embarrassing powerplay system.

Hull and Oates
Gretzky and Kurri
Laine and Copp ?

Lol I’m not asking for a first ballot Hall of Famer type performance out of Copp. Just for him to be what Laine hasn’t had on any consistent basis since Paul Stastny left: an NHL centre who can create space and scoring chances

Wonder who plans our embarrassing penalty kill system and why they still have a job, even with better dmen it'd be middling at best.

Who do you think is worth trading the 10th overall pick for and would they be available?

By god, that’s Anthony Cirelli’s music!
Seriously. 10th and Stanley. I’ll surrender Vesalainen, too

Cirelli seems possible. Stevie Y gave all his big money players NTC's the only player they can move is Killorn and he has a 16 team no trade list. But they probably will want an nhl ready player like Roslovic in a Cirelli deal. I'd still make it.

I don't see why Anaheim doesn't do a full sell off and the Jets could pick up Lindholm. I'd say or Manson but he has a 12 team NTC and Jets fans believe every player with a NTC won't come here.

This year a lot of players could be available for a draft pick. There are many free agents and not much money to spend.

Cirelli sure if Tampa would do it but even though the Jets need to make a move trading the 10th overall pick for a couple years of Manson or Lindholm isn't a good idea, maybe Lindholm if they thought he could be signed after but that's risky if he doesn't want to stick around and Manson is kind of old already and is overrated anyhow.

I think the Jets need to either make a move to really add some pieces or they do a two to three years retool which could be painful but if they add they still shouldn't throw assets away on short term help either, trading the 1st for a long term extended Pulock from the cap crunched Islanders might be alright though.

Jets best window to win is the next 4 years. They shouldn't be wasting half of it on a retooling.

- BWJumper

Trading the 1st for an RFA that could be signed long term sure which is why I mentioned Pulock but I'd rather have whatever that 10th overall pick turns out to be then have a couple years of Lindholm or Manson, really too it almost seems like a retool is necessary or inevitable with how much work this team needs, one Lindholm, Manson or a 2C isn't fixing all that ails this team.
