Plus 30 there today. That's not gonna help at all. It's unfortunate but Mother Nature is a ***** at times, Nothing you can really do about things like this. It's interesting that it's an oil town tho, It's kind of like Mother Nature teaming up with Mother Earth saying you take our OIL, we take your city. I hope everyone is alright tho, that's the main thing for sure. It's pretty crazy cuz I'm used to seeing wildfires in places like California pretty much on a yearly basis... Bad Religion even wrote a song about it but... yeah, pretty shocking to see one this big, close but not that close but definitely closer to home than California.

In the end they make decisions that are best for the future of the team. Some fans want a winner now... that's not really realistic tho. They need to build a winner and how you do that is giving younger guys chances. Signing vets to 1 yr deals is great and all but when the idea is to look to the future... those vets who actually make no difference in the end are just wasting spots. Can't think about today with this team.. Gotta think about tomorrow. And tomorrow now looks a lot brighter. Why? Cuz the kids were given a chance and didn't look out of place. Stemp. Tlusty. That's great if you wanna finish 12 13th 14th from last... but nobody wants that. You want a team who will compete year in year out for years and they are building towards that. It's a process tho. It takes time. Signing FAs... it's just delaying what needs to be done. And that is.... building around the high end youth talent. It takes time. But they are definitely on their way.

BB is from Ottawa so it's likely he does go there.

I heard Dineen mentioned on Twitter a couple times by flames fans

Dunk just released his mock 3.0 St John goes 1st to Sask. Interesting that he has us taking Singleton at 9 this time. Think he's got about 4 or 5 oline going in the first. Loffler doesn't go in the 1st this time.

Well... guys like wheeler Perreault buff little etc won't be here forever. They are in thar transition mode. It's a little early to talk about the future. Cap probably will go up also. Plus I doubt the Jets will pay guys 10 plus million a year like Chicago does for 2 guys.

As for ruining players.... some guys need time in the A or in junior. Some don't. Scheif was somewhat of a reach where he was picked. He needed time. Laine might not. Connor might not. It's all about that player. Each guy is different. Some need 2 3 4 yrs b4 they are ready... some come in right away and are ready. Depends on the player

They noticed that and sent him down. He came back and looked better to end the year. He's not gonna put up 15 goals... he might get 10 in a good year. He's not that type of player and it seems most rookies tend to fall back a bit in their 2nd year. Lowry isn't the only example of a rookie struggling after a good rookie year. Sophomore slump for sure but he worked through it. Not bad for a 3rd Rd pick tho. Do I think he's guaranteed a spot this coming season? Nope. I think he will have to earn it again. If he shows up like he did to start this past year ... he's moose bound again. In my opinion.... Adam Lowry is a player who when you get right down to it... he's a guy that's pretty easily replaceable. He's probably a good 4th line center tho.

Lowry made the team out of camp last season after having a pretty good year prior in St Johns. Lowry struggled this past season but last year he was very good and made it because he was ready. He wasn't gifted anything. He earned it with his solid 2 way play. He got away from that this year but just cuz he struggled this year doesn't mean he didn't earn a spot last year. Lowry also is the same age as Scheif so not sure how he's considered 18 19 year old. He spent a full season in St Johns prior to joining the jets out of camp last season. Lowry isn't a good example to use as he's 23 meaning he was 22 when he made the Jets last season.

Or Carlyle or Crawford

There has to be more to the Hartley firing. Something behind the scenes

Brown to Calgary doesn't make sense. They need a winger

Gostisbere as a d man had an incredible rookie year and should win.

Well. We have forward depth. We have no LHD depth so I'd suspect we'd pick Juolevi or Sergachev or maybe Chychrun. The plus is all 3 are expansion exempt. We also have buff trouba on the right side. Not much after Morrissey on the left. We would then only have to protect the minimum 3 D in the possible expansion draft instead of all 4 of buff trouba myers enstrom. No move clauses and such force us to do that

According to the leafs fans... Marner and Nylander are already superstars.

Good god. Matthews is more similar to Dylan Strome than he is to mcdavid. Stop the hype. He's good but he's not even close to mcdavid in any way. Size and weight? Cmon man. Irrelevant

2015 draft considered very strong. McDavid Eichel Hanifin are the only guys in the top 10 who played in the nhl the entire year.Rantanen played like 3 games with Colorado and got sent to the ahl cuz he was eligible. This year... the top 3 are nhl ready... the rest aren't close Provorov and Werenski are way better than Chychrun Sergachev Juolevi and even they didn't play a nhl game this past season.

Chychrun gonna drop to 12 13 14 probably. Juolevi and Sergachev will go before he does. He's not ready. Nobody after the top 3 picks are. Guys picked after the top 3 are at least 2 3 years away from being nhl ready. Massive drop after the top 3 in terms of being nhl ready.

Myers plus Dano/Armia/Burmi type of thing would be fair probably for 4.

Juolevi would be the guy I'd take. We need LHD. He's the best of them. Chychrun gonna fall to 12 13 14 I'll bet.

I'd rather just trade with Edmonton for pick 4. We don't need Hamonic unless both myers and enstrom are moved.

No. Stu is the worst d man in the league. Toughness? Cmon. Morrissey is way better than stu and it's not close. Toughness? You mean those big hits that lead to 2 on 1 and goals in the back of our net. Stu is not better than anyone. He is awful. Toughness is over rated. He's slow and can't keep up plus can't make a breakout pass. He's done as a nhl d man. No doubt about it. Jets could put him on waivers and he'd clear. Easily.

RNH and Eberle make 6 million a year. The 4th overall is cost controlled and exempt to an expansion draft. They will trade it.

I don't think buff gets any letter. He's the dressing room leader but probably doesn't need an A. Wheeler and Scheif are obvious. Not sure who the other A will be. Maybe a younger guy like Trouba. With Stu.. I really feel like, despite his contract, he's probably Moose bound and I think that's a good spot for him. He can show the kids what it takes to be a pro.

Edmonton will definitely trade 4. Toronto Jets and CBJ aren't trading their picks tho. No chance. Edmonton will guaranteed. Oilers don't need another young player. They will trade it to a team who offers them the best RHD they can get.
