We are a small market franchise here in Winnipeg, and we don't have the deep pockets that you believe we do. If we don't make the playoffs, this team likely operates in the negative cash flow position. If we make the playoffs --the Jet's make money.
Where do you think all this money is going to come from ?? The Jets are not New York City here, and have to manage their cash resources, to stay profitable.

I agree -- I think Simmonds is a terrible fit for us--does not impress me one bit. They can keep him. He's not a good fit for the Jets.
Brassard would be a depth acquisition, and not too expensive. He's had a horrible season, but has been decent in previous seasons. Decent insurance, I guess.Just checking in to see if Wiebe's prediction of acquiring Eric Fehr has happened yet.

Yea if they are getting directed by the media then that makes sense. I have respect for Simmonds career especially a few years back but I think that is a terrible fit for us in the here and now.

It's what he's been missing all this time.
Laine passing to Laine.
Much like NHL 94 the one timer would work from anywhere on the ice (even if he was facing the wrong way)

Depth for what ?? the Penns picked him up last year to be a 3rd line center, and they just dumped him to Florida for lack of production. He was not productive.
The Jet's have all the "filler inner" type players they can handle now --what we need is someone who's going to improve our club, and take us to that next level. There are 2 guys that look good to do that -- Stone or Hayes. I like Hayes, as he's Cap friendly.
Sorry but Perreault should be in the press box he is not an nhl player anymore how he has played in this league so long is crazy.

Hayes also plays 3-4 more mins a game and double Littles PP time per game almost. They are pretty equal IMO. Hayes is just bigger

I think it's a fallacy what many people believe. David Thomson who is one of the richest men in Canada, only owns about 15 % of TNSE, which owns the Jets. He is a "minority owner" as far as my research has told me.
He is a 50 % owner in the "real estate"-the Bell MTS Center, that the Jet's play in. Thomson's holding company(Osmington Holdings) used to own it outright at 100% but sold to Chipman and TNSE, and decided to retain 50 % ownership in the building -- "but this has nothing to do with the Jets." The real estate is "separate"
I also was under the impression that Thomson owned 50 % of the Jets until I did some research on this subject. I will have to do it again, as it appears that people believe that Thomson owns 50 % of TNSE -- but according to my research it's only 15%, or less, which makes the "richest man" in Canada, a "minority" owner in TNSE.
I'll have to research this again --as a lot of people are a little confused on this, or my memory has been faulty, and I don't have my facts right ??
If anybody knows "for sure"--please do comment on this ownership issue.

Hayes isn't a huge upgrade on Little, but he's been very good this season and would provide the Jets a lot of quality depth and options if they have a long playoff run. I'd like Hayes or Staal as options sort of similar to Stastny in a few ways.

They should really keep him and try to make the playoffs if he is so highly valued and then re-sign him in the off season, as for us if Chevy is so inclined offer a 2nd a b prospect and continue kicking tires, I don't know if we really need him but he could be useful against teams like Nashville, Calgary and Vegas in the playoffs.

I agree with your post -- but let's not forget that Staal is 35 yrs old, whereas Hayes is only 27 years old--"huge difference". Both would be good, but Hayes has viable long term utility for the Jets, and the Jet's want a trade rental they can "resign."
Dissapointed we did not add a D man and there is no talk of it. Buff is having an injury ridden year, and how hard he guns it in the playoffs I dont like it. Last night we had a Myers scare. Imagine rolling into the playoffs with Morrissey, Trouba, Kulikov, Chairot, Morrow and Niku. I would have liked a #4 to go with Buff then run Myers Kulikov. Niku as first man in and chairot and Morrow for injury depth.
As for forwards. If its not stone. Only Hayes or Zuc IMO. Forget Brassard, Simmonds. And we are not linked to really anyone except Hayes and Stone. Ottawa seems to like to screw Chevy around as well. Wonder if he has moved onto other options. I would make a push. If Nashville, Calgary or vegas grabs Stone. May as well just stand pat or try for Hayes. I think it will be tough for us to beat those 3 as well as San jose to begin with. If Stone was added I just don't see it. But we still have an equal chance next year provided Chevy has a good summer with contracts and Trouba.

Even for the now Hayes is good where ever he plays. If one of Scheif or Little go down our centre ice becomes thin. Would feel a lot better with him. Brassard though I don't feel is worth any assets. Would feel just as fine if Copp, Lowry or Roslo had to be a top 6C if we took an injury
