Hannu Jarvenpaa is a coach in Finland. Apparently to motivate his players he tells them about the time he got 4 goals for the Jets in a preseason game.

My Swedish grandfather said that Hannu Jarvenpaa was a pretty good hockey player for being a Finn. I wonder what he would have thought of Teemu Selanne and Patrik Laine...:dunno:

Andrew Copp, could Andrew be our depth 2C for a playoff run? He is a playoff performer.

He no longer plays, but only former Jet 2.0 that I can remember ACTUALLY having an impact on his team after leaving Jets is Johnny Oduya. Won 2 cups with Hawks I think, playing in top 4.

Everyone else, nothing otherworldly. Sure would like to have Chisholm and Kovacevic back. Roslovic is doing well this year. I still miss Brandon Tanev. Thats about it.

Yeah I just realized we hadn't heard about him this year. Any idea what happened?

Injury? Or his clothes in the shower?

Kane underwent surgery to repair two hernias, two abdominal tears, and both abductors on September 20th. The initial prognosis was a recovery time of five to six months, which would essentially hold Kane out for the entirety of the regular season. But with Weekes' report, it looks like he could be back much, much sooner.

[me again] problem is if Kane comes back too soon it's gonna push the Oilers way over the cap.

However, there's a big problem with Kane's potential early return: the Oilers just can't afford it. Part of the reason Kane wasn't expected to return during the regular season is that the Oilers told us so.

Not explicitly, but they placed Kane's $5,125,000 cap hit on Long-Term Injured Reserve while calling up Matt Savoie and Cam Wright on opening day to ensure they could get the most out of that LTIR pool. The Oilers didn't plan for Kane to be back any time soon.

With just under $1.5 million in cap space right now and a projected $4.8 million available at the trade deadline in March, the Oilers can't welcome Kane back without making a corresponding move to clear cap space, thereby weakening the team. Even if they do that, they won't have any room to acquire an upgrade on defence, or anywhere else one might be required.

EDIT: Should of said quotes are from the Hockey Ne3s.

Evander, everyone's favorite ex jet has been hot and ice cold, often injured or MIA. We could use a player like him though.

You know what this Jets team is missing? A terminal case of Lockerroom Cancer! :sarcasm:

I didn't say him. A player with his on ice attributes, not him though

Not a chance I’d want him back even for free. Good way to kill any type of team chemistry. And we don’t have Buff around anymore to kick him out of the room.

I guess the sarcasm was lost.
 
i think this often but it's pretty crazy of all the players who want out/leave winnipeg, how few of them end up being better off statistically/reputationally in the long term after doing so. Kane worse, trouba worse, copp worse, ladd worse, wheeler worse, bogosian worse, chiarot worse, burmi worse, laine worse, dubois worse.

Hot and cold, oft injured or MIA, you mean? :laugh:

Or a .66/game player who can drive his own line like a Trochek or Buchnevich?

I like the 2nd option...
