And the fun continues for Jamie Benn:

This is the kind of thing that could derail a season for a team.

Ken Wiebe: How close was C Paul Stastny to returning to the #NHL Jets this past summer as a UFA? "At the end, I had it down to two or three teams and (the Jets) were there.”

So what made him cancel out the Jets in the end? $$?

Whatever, Go Jets Go. :-)

If the money was similar and the chance to win was similar and treatment by the team was similar, with no emotional connection to either place...he's an American plus Las Vegas has certain benefits over Winnipeg.

I thought it was pretty widely reported VGK offered Stastny more.

That's what I thought. More money and more term. 

Jets only offered two years I believe

taxes are lower I believe.  Other than that, downtown Vegas vs downtown Winnipeg, not much difference really?  😁

 

Victor Rask is terrible, Nino used to get under the skin of some Jets, good riddance😀

I have always loved Nino as a player...would take him on any of "my" teams any day....that's an awful deal for Minnesota.

Av's sent Tyson Jost down to the AHL.

I can see the appeal of acquiring a centre for a winger but why Rask? He has 1 goal this season. LOL

Maybe salary dump?

We got an IHOP now.

But it's not downtown so Vegas does have that as an advantage.

Did someone tell him that Popeye's was opening? That may have help sway him.

Muzzin or an LHD of his kind would be nice. Id pass on Hayes. 

How about 1st rounder and Petan for Duchene?

I would do that in a heartbeat. No way the Senators would do this and why would they. A late round first pick and top-line AHLer?

Have the Jets resolved themselves that Petan won't be a regular NHLer? Or can we hold out hope he may be a late bloomer?
