June 30, 20178 yr comment_272617 Is a Mike Smith / Lack combo really better than Elliot / Johnson? Jagr to Wpg would obvs never happen, but how sweet would that be!

June 30, 20178 yr comment_272633 Jagr actually seems like a guy that might come to Winnipeg... he doesn't really seem to give a **** anymore. Would be a great 3rd line winger - he still has good fancy stats and can score... Connor-Roslovic-Jagr I'm down for that.

Got hurt a lot his first couple of years and then Maurice would yank him when he made a mistake...never seemed to get the same chances as Chiarot...or Stuart. Has more offensive upside than most of our d but was never used on the second pp even. Good luck, he should definitely try a different coach that may give him a better shot. Would been an upgrade over Enstrom on the second pp. Enstrom everybody knows he is a great passer but his shot scares nobody. Edited June 30, 20178 yr by bb1
June 30, 20178 yr comment_272654 Postma is RHD and isnt better than trouba buff or myers. Best of luck. Not a huge loss at all.

Probably get blasted for this but I think Smith is a top-tier goalie in the NHL who was stuck in a terrible situation in Arizona. He will greatly improve the Flames.

He will greatly improve the Flames. Smith's been overrated his entire career. Not a fan of that guy. As for Jags, if you think he's coming to the coldest-weather climate in the NHL at this point in his career, you're insane. He'd go to the K before coming to Wpg, I think....
June 30, 20178 yr comment_272670 I like Postma for the depth. He probably never got the chance to "make it" in the same way Chiarot got the chance. But as Goalie said, he was behind guys that were better than him. Jets probably feel there is more depth there now, even in the event of injury, they'd go with Chiarot/Poolman etc, younger guys. I think Postma will be a regular for the Canucks if he signs (though the Canucks suck too) I like what Calgary is doing. They will be good this year. Its possible Smith and Lack crap the bed but they are betting on both to play up to their potential/standard. And I think they will be fine.
June 30, 20178 yr comment_272671 with the D corps that Calgary is amassing, their tenders won't have to do as much...
June 30, 20178 yr comment_272677 I think Nogier's play towards the end of last year made the Jets management more comfortable with letting Postma go.

He will greatly improve the Flames. I don't know about top tier, but I definitely disagree about him being washed up. IMO he'll do well in Calgary.

Hmm never mentioned Trouba Buff or Myers or Morrrisey ethier of course they are better?Was talking about our 5 and 6 d and spelling Enstrom on the pp. Anyways good luck to Postma..
