Oh are we talking about him signing this offseason? Lol yeah there is no chance that happens. Maybe he signs when his current deal is up but certainly not before then.

Who cares? He's a backup now

Could be. I'm sure that won't be a problem this time around.

Around The NHL 2016/2017
The rumours and hearsay are the smoke. Official statements from players and agents mean very little to me. The only fact we really know is that Trouba was unwilling to sign long term. Maybe that has changed, maybe not. I'm hoping he will but I'm not arrogant enough to believe I know what he is going to do.

Red zone
Lapo tends to get more conservative the closer the offence gets to the end zone. Most of our touchdowns come from big plays outside the red zone that either end up in the end zone or at the one yard line where we can just punch it in. Or Andrew Harris runs it in through sheer force of will. I'd like to see us be a little more aggressive in the red zone but with that comes increased chance for turnovers.

I don't think the worst but I also believe that where there is smoke there is usually fire. Now that doesn't mean Trouba won't sign but I do think that if he did have a problem with Winnipeg, it hasn't just disappeared and we'll be hearing about it again.

Rule? There are no rules in fandom, only opinions. Winnipeg is a unique case because we didn't have a team for 15 years. If you were 10 or younger when the Jets left, you probably didn't have much of a connection to them. So those people find a team they like in their teenage years or early 20s and there you go. That's what I did. But as soon as the Jets came back I was all-in.

That's funny because I was thinking how great it is that we limit it to one now.

WHC 2017
Finland has been the most unpredictable international team at every level over the last few years. One game they will look like they should be getting relegated and the next they're knocking out a favorite. I don't know what it is.

Yeah I pretty much agree with this. I see a Kane situation unfolding but with less vitriol... Trouba signs long-term but is eventually traded.

Dave Lozo is a joke and it doesn't surprise me that he's writing for Vice. I am surprised that Vice's sports department actually writes about sports sometimes and not just women's rights and player safety.

Really? I'm more bothered by the people who get a local team and continue to cheer for someone else. Like now that the Jets are back and some people still identify as Leafs/Habs/Flyers fans around Winnipeg.

Apparently Farpoint for the PSVR is pretty impressive. Reviews seem to be mixed but anyone I've talked to that actually played it loves it.

I don't think the team is doubting that. It's more about Trouba's willingness to stay here. I don't believe his desire to leave suddenly evaporated upon signing that bridge deal.

At this point I think we can say Richards was probably a bad pick but I'd say he's got another year to prove it wasn't.

I know, I remembered. I felt kinda bad about it.

Wrestling
Nak vs AJ has to happen. That will be incredible. I actually like that they didn't throw Nakamura directly into a title feud. Too many guys get pushed too hard, too fast. Wrestling is a neverending story, so what's the rush? The slow build is a good approach.

NHL Draft
Sure but do you reach for an LHD if there isn't a suitable one available? I'd say in the NHL it's take the best player available, always. You don't really know what your lineup is going to look like in 2-5 years when that player is ready to step in so reaching for a current positional need is almost never a good plan. If there is a top LHD available at 13 then sure take him, but don't plan to take the best available LHD because then you could potentially be missing out on other great players.
