Thoughtful evaluation of the Jets current team situation and a minor update on Laine from LeBrun.

5 minute video from That's Hockey.

Please management do not trade Patrik Laine away but if you feel you need to, please let McDavid know he can keep his number 97 when he gets here. Seriously make it work immediately for us, whether it means keeping him here and happy or having a team give us something more than he’s worth.

It's not even McDavid that the Jets really need (Okay, every team needs him, but still...) it's a high end D. If you're going to shoot for the moon, the guy you want is Ivan Provorov. The Flyers will never part with him, but THAT'S the guy you want....

I see your point I just want us to be in a position of strength if we do deal him.

I like what Harkins did last season, he got a chance and took the opportunity to open eyes, hope to see even more progress this season if and when they play

Got him for minimum wage. Perfect. Now, get Roslo signed and trade him and Niku for a top 4 D.

LOL but also truth.

We have too many contracts already. If we can get something for a third line winger, let's take it. 

I fine to keep Niku but if we can move him for an impact player now, giddy-up.

We're not going to get anything decent for Roslovic and Niku. Your fantasy of getting an impact player for them is not realistic.

Anyone know the real story behind the car crash with Nike and Vesaleinen last year? Media kind of dances around how they ended up in the dog house all year, any intel on what triggered it? Seems like a fender bender would not cause that much tension  

Awesome news for #55 and the team as a whole.

You would also think that MS and other players across the league who are focussed and disciplined on strength and conditioning will come back bigger, faster and stronger as a result of the layoff.

It's a good move but kind of funny that he keeps coming back.

Polo!

Have to say this is a very interesting signing, there are some that still think Dano is a very capable NHL player, I am not one of them

Nothing easier then entry-level contracts.

In 3 games he has 3 goals 2 assists and is +2.

He's great for the Euro Elite league.

He should be one of the leaders of Team Canada at the WJC.
