Posted November 15, 20159 yr comment_168794 The Bombers brutal season followed by what is happening now to the Jets? I know the NHL season is young but PLEASE, will at least one of the sports teams smarten up?
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168799 And I don't even mean pay Ladd and buff. Because they want elite money and aren't elite players. Go get elite players like other teams have. Or go full rebuild with youth. But get rid of Ladd and buff and stu
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168803 Better question is what disease do the fans have? Jets are struggles, but they'll pull out of it. Dumping buff is a bad decision at the moment. And Ladd is out leader, the locker room respects him. Who would you replace them with that's an improvement?
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168810 Jets are different. Can't keep guys that don't want to be here or don't fit. Wheeler is the real captain of this team. Trade Ladd. Give wheeler the C. Not going to improve over night cause we are weak on LW.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168863 The Jets are like the Oilers. They have both shown they can draft and develop good young players but will they be able to keep them or can they attract or spend for front line franchise players?
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168871 The Jets (True North) better start spending money or they'll find themselves buried in the division basement shortly...Mind you the schedule makers sure haven't been kind to the Jets or Bombers for quite awhile...No excuses for bad play but they do have an out there...Why is it we get the raw end of the schedule stick??? The Ladd situation is not helping either and that's on the gm.

But I guess we'll never know.

November 15, 20159 yr comment_168980 Andrew Ladd is an elite player? I'm not sure many lists of elite players include Crosby, Ovechkin, Stamkos and Ladd.
November 15, 20159 yr comment_168982 Panic. Anxiety. Its what winnipeggers have. Not the teams, the fan bases. You need to get out more and check out other fan forums. I see this everywhere. Welcome to sports fandom.
November 16, 20159 yr comment_169291 Andrew Ladd is an elite player? I'm not sure many lists of elite players include Crosby, Ovechkin, Stamkos and Ladd. I don't think anyone has ever claimed Ladd is one of the top 4 players in the league... I guess if you want to quibble about what our definition of "elite" is we can have that conversation.

I don't think anyone has ever claimed Ladd is one of the top 4 players in the league... I guess if you want to quibble about what our definition of "elite" is we can have that conversation. Yea thats another good call. Is elite top 4, top 10, top 20? There is a large sample of NHL'ers so id assume 10 min imo.
November 16, 20159 yr comment_169314 There's a difference between very good and elite. If a player is a bonafide, undoubtable top line player in his position on every single team (barring those with another elite player at the same position) he might make the cut I'm not sure Ladd is a 1LW on every team. Not even sure he is on the Jets.
November 16, 20159 yr comment_169317 Andrew Ladd is an elite player? I'm not sure many lists of elite players include Crosby, Ovechkin, Stamkos and Ladd. Stamkos for Ladd - straight up - how could Tampa say no to that one?
November 17, 20159 yr comment_169340 Ladd is a top 30 LW when he's on his game... he's not elite... he's not a game changer... when I think elite I think guys who can change a game with one play... Ladds not that guy. Wheeler would be that guy for us or Buff but.... don't think I'd even consider them to be elite. Crosby. Ovi. P Kane. Toews. Stamkos. McDavid in a few years.... Tavares.... these are examples of elite players. I don't think I can put any jet in that type of group. Jets don't have any what I'd call superstars... Ehlers has potential to be one... maybe Connor and Scheif too but... right now the Jets really don't have that big time franchise player... they aren't built that way tho
