Yup. Good player who had a bad year in buffalo. He'll be better this year I'm sure.

The more the cost for these D men keep rolling in, the more impressive what BT has done to get our top 5 D-men in at the total cap hit he has becomes.

Probably. I cannot see that it will make much of a difference.

If either the Jets or Flames miss the playoffs this year it would likely be the end of the Coach and GM.
I don't understand your point. In fact, it just shows you how bad the Winnipeg GM is because the Flames defence is 10 times better while being cheaper.

This is one of the bigger overpayments today. Jets should be trading with Vegas for Stoner, Theodore, Merrill or Mcnabb. At least the term isn't a killer

Man, it must be so tough to be a Jets fan. There was so much potential with youth back in 2015 when experts were starting to state that Calgary and Winnipeg were bound to be new faces in the West contender puzzle.

But it's like their goal as a franchise is to be in that 7 - 12 range in the West, just shoot for mediocrity and never more.

Boy, you're just obsessed with me, huh? You know that this doesn't make you look particularly stable? Fine, since you're curious, my opinion is that both deals are bad. The Mason signing was pretty solid, though.

Responded almost immediately, almost like you have my posts on notification or something. But I'm the one who's obsessed . Whatever dude, you're now ignored, can't stand your pompous attitude.

Remembering a high post count member that's heavy into advanced stats to the point of creating his current username based on an advanced stats is not a sign of instability. I think you may be taking this a bit too personally.

Actually my username is a joke at the expense of Steve Simmons based on advanced stats. Completely different.

He can't do anything. The Owner has him on a short leash. Not to mention nobody wants to play for the Jets. Rumor has it a couple of better LHD vetoed trades with the Jets.
