How many years left on Vermette's contract? If he's a UFA I'd pass. The Jets have impressed me with their drafting skills so far, and Kosmachuk was getting solid reviews at the young guns tourney. I'm not sure. RIP Capgeek. I like Kosmachuk as a prospect too but we're not going to be able to get all these guys in the lineup. Kosmachuk, Ehlers, Copp, Petan... they all look good but you can't cram all the youth into the lineup at once. I believe it would be wise to use one as trade bait. There will be other good draft picks, I'm sure.

I already did that in NHL15 and he has been a disappointment.

Did they throw them on the ice while play was going on?

Hmmm, an either or mentality where the Bombers come in last. And to think Miller has concerns over putting these two events so close together. What a fool. The Grey Cup isn't selling out here either way.

How much outrage would there have been if they just got the deal done like they were supposed to? The Bombers have a very negative public image in this city right now and they certainly don't need to make it any worse.

2nd rounder, Adam Pardy, and Scott Kosmachuk for Vermette?

Yeah you guys are right. The Bombers totally aren't going to take any heat for this from the public. Totally reasonable decision.

JetsGirl76 ‏@JetsGirl76 27m27 minutes ago @wpgguy Bombers are not working with jets for outdoor game. Looks like it will be postponed a year! Brutal!

Let's see how well the Grey Cup sells when it is the main reason we are not getting a Heritage Classic that everyone has been expecting for at least 2 years. Why don't we ask the citizens of Winnipeg which one they would rather have?

Really anytime between December and March could potentially be extremely cold.

Yes, the organization $85 million dollars in debt and counting should put the interests of a totally unrelated business ahead of their own. They should because they don't need the bad PR which will come along with a public battle with the Jets that results in no Heritage Classic this season. Obviously.

Bombers need to just nod their heads and do whatever the NHL wants to do.

They did it, they really did it! Great news.

They'll bounce back. Lots of retailers are hurting right now.

I doubt sears makes it 2 years. Sears isn't going anywhere anytime soon. They're still a retail powerhouse and they understand how to keep it sustainable.

Yeah that's weird

Who is interviewing while their team is still in the playoffs? I've heard about lots of interest in such coaches and even interviews the same day as elimination but I don't recall any coaches getting interviews while still in contention. I could be wrong.

Jackson's a good receiver and obviously has the history with Willy but if you asked Willy which free agent receiver he'd like to be throwing balls to next season, I bet you his answer is SJ Green. Real recognize real.

Wouldn't be surprised if Quenneville holds Carcillo out of the game against Winnipeg.

We are merely exploring the possibility of various threads of future realities.

9th time he's been suspended. Enough is enough already. Give him 1000 lashes and 3 years in a middle Eastern prison. Or ban him from the league. Whatever is more reasonable. Obviously the suspensions aren't working.

lol that seems like a bit of an oversimplification. He's got his team to the wild card round, then the divisional round, then the conference championship in 3 seasons as the starting QB. Immediately following seasons of 0-16 and 2-14 before he arrived. Most teams would kill for that. Of course everyone looks like a dud if you are going to measure them against Tom Brady.

The Pats cheated though, so blame them for the boring game.

BS penalty by a thin-skinned ref. Buff gives him a dirty look and the guy shits his pants. He knocked the puck away from the linesman when he was bent over to pick it up. The ref saw it and called the penalty. lol really??? I missed that. Classic Buff. Great play.

Well said.
