I also didn't phrase properly. In 2018 40 of 44 arb cases were settled before they got to arbitration. I wonder what the number will be this year? I just remember the Jets being pretty pissed off last year when Trouba made them go the full length of the negotiations and still went to the arbitrator anyway. Maybe I am mis-remembering.

Well, Trouba and Copp both have the same agent. So there is that. Look up how many of Kurt Overhardt’s clients go to arbitration or hold out.

July 31, 20195 yr Author comment_412699 Whose up for a Fantasy Trade Thread? On 1290 this morning the question was do you trade Kyle Conner for Matthew Tkachuk? The vote was split. Jim thought KC could be a point a game player while the other guy(?) picked MT saying MT had more points then KC and he was playing with Backlund and Frolik.
July 31, 20195 yr comment_412725 absolutely ZERO chance I would ever trade Conner for Tkachuk....Conner is a guy you can build a team around. Tkachuk is more like Kessel...

August 1, 20195 yr Author comment_412817 So if he's bought out then he could be signed relatively cheap since the rangers are paying him 5.7m to not play. Am I right? Edited August 1, 20195 yr by FrostyWinnipeg

He'll get paid whatever someone is willing to pay him. I would bet someone on the East Coast will take him.
August 1, 20195 yr comment_412834 Tkachuk over Connor easily. Not even close. Connor played mostly with Scheif and Wheeler. When he didnt play with them he wasn't very good.

August 1, 20195 yr comment_412841 You should hear the howls today in Calgary over the arena deal. Living here, I think most Calgarians wanted to see a new building. Not so much for hockey but for the fact almost every major act bypasses our city for Edmonton as the roof on the Saddledome is too low & it can't support the equipment being used for sounds & effects. If we want to see any bands or entertainers we have to drive to Edmonton. The vocal minority (I believe) are making themselves known on social media.
August 1, 20195 yr comment_412862 If the Jets aren't willing to spend a little extra on Chiarot…. I don't imagine them throwing millions at a guy who is done like PoopKirk….

You need to save, always.....for what? Well, that doesn't matter....just don't spend it....ever. Calgary is a world class city...you deserve world class facilities!!
