-42C with the wind last night...-43.6F.

RyJo gets 2 games for a tomahawk chop on Scheif's head. He is a dirty player and deserved more. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/predators-johansen-hearing-high-sticking-jets-scheifele/

Here's a stat for you... Since joining the league...Rask has .481 points per game. Niederreiter has .464. Pretty even if you ask me.

They are similar players and Rask plays center so I think it is a pretty even swap to be honest. I'd give the edge to Minny if anyone.

Oilers are looking for scoring and are prepared to pay. "the team could be willing to part with their first-round pick, a goaltender, (and) maybe a young developing forward." Is Puljujarvi packing his bags? Talbot too? An Edmonton Journalist wrote Monday that he interprets Rishaug's report to mean that Kailer Yamamoto, Tyler Benson, Cameron Hebig or even Jesse Puljujarvi could be on the move depending on the Oilers' return - in addition to one their NHL goaltenders and a first-round pick. edit ... How does that GM still have a job? Lucic for another 4 years at 6m per and they are only 2.25m away from the cap not counting ELC bonuses. A waste of McDavid's talent.

I don't think Wheeler belongs there to be honest. I'd put Scheifele there before Wheeler. Scheifele would be much harder to replace than Wheeler regarding an injury. You could probably insert any team for TO and it would be a mismatch. TB will probably win the cup this year.

St. Louis would probably part with Schenn for the right price but I think they would want a fortune. He has a 5.125m AAV until the end of next season. I think they will trade him at the TD but it will be a big overpay. He's a good playmaker that is capable of putting up lots of points with the right wingers.

Myers won't be moved. He'll walk in free agency or Chevy will re-sign him. When Buff has been out this year, Myers has played way over 20 minutes and not looked bad. When Buff is in, Myers has looked absolutely horrible. He should have been traded the year after he was acquired. As far as the youngsters being around for the first playoff run, that all depends who you call youngsters I guess. Ehlers, Connor, Morrissey, Roslo, Copp (played 1 regular season game), Tanev, Laine, Petan Lemieux, Appleton, Hellebuyck, Brossoit and Petan? all weren't here. That's 13 players off of the 23 man roster that weren't here for that playoff run and only Brossoit, Lemeux, Appleton and Petan? weren't here last playoffs. So, just so I don't go too off topic, maybe making the playoffs this year and trading away 1st round draft pick(s) would, in my opinion, be the wrong thing for JBots to do. Those draft picks can keep you contending for a long time.

They got blown out 4-0. Last year's playoffs were much more important. The last GM traded away a lot of the cupboard stock and JBot didn't have much to start with. Staying young and having ELCs is improtant. The Jets are the 4th youngest team in the league still. To the poster that said Staal won't get a 1st...you do know he has scored 70 goals and 71 assists in the last two seasons? Playing on the Wild? He'll get a 1st +.

Staal will cost more than a 2nd and a prospect...I think he will cost a 1st + which is why I thought the Sabres should wait until the off-season.

Staal will be an UFA this summer and he is the one I would be going after if I am JBot but I wouldn't give him more than 2 years and he probably will get more. He's got 70 goals and 71 assists in the last two seasons playing for the Wild. I'd love to see him in a Jets uni for the next two seasons. No use giving up draft picks just because you have lots of them. Keep your picks and draft well and have patience. Trade your picks and prospects when you are contending. If I'm Buffalo, I go after Staal in free agency. He'd make an excellent 2C while youngsters develop.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think the Preds bashed them THAT bad...they couldn't beat MAF was the story of that series. I would've ran him a few times but that's me. They needed to get him off of his game..."out of his groove" and couldn't. C'est la vie. Lesson learned. I think the idea of home advantage is WAY too over rated. In the Jets-Preds series, only two games were won at home and game 7 was won in NSH. I would much rather go into the playoffs healthy and rested than going in with the 1st overall and home advantage and worn down players and players injured. I don't think Maurice rested players enough but that's me too. I would have rested more players and ran MAF...hahahahhahahash.

NSH (1st overall) met the Jets (2nd overall) in the 2nd round last year...

Pysyk, Borgstrom and a 1st for Trouba this off-season. Then, fittingly, the team is moved to Quebec City...

Laine got two tonight and Ehlers got a hatty but the Jets almost blew ANOTHER 3rd period lead. They were up 6-2 and won 6-5. Been blowing 3rd period leads all season long.They have already lost way more games in the 3rd than they did all last year. Pitt came back in the 3rd two days ago...Minny did it about a week and a half ago and the Sabres did it 2 weeks ago and this is just off of the top of my head. This team won't go far in the playoffs if this isn't fixed. Helle isn't playing that well and the team D isn't nearly as good as it was last year.

Howe played over 400 in the WHA as well...

I didn't mention discount but he will get around 10m per season if not more.

They aren't stupid enough to let it go long enough so other teams can make an offer sheet.

The Leafs will sign Matthews, for more than 4 years, before the offer sheet window opens.

Johnson let in 6 goals in 25 shots and Allen let in 2 goals in 11 shots. Laine scored 5 goals in 5 shots this game. Little and KC with 4 assists each. Jets had enough of a lead in the third to win this one I guess...I know it's a win but we've got to stop allowing these goals in the 3rd period. We had Minny 2-0 after the 2nd yesterday and they won 4-2... I forgot, congrats on 1st overall!!!!!

I think Sturm will be the HC in LA next year. St. Loo should throw the bank at Q but I hope they don't...I'd like to see him out of the division. Laine with a hatty tonight. Two even strength goals and one EN. KC is a keeper. He drives the Little line.

Management was expecting big things in St. Loo with all the changes. I've never liked him as a coach.

Muuuuuuuuuuuchas gracias!!!!!!!! The Hawks beat them in regulation tonight!!!!!

The Jets are on the road for 4 games in 6 nights starting Monday. Also, I have to give credit where credit is due and it isn't easy. Myers and Morrow (M&M) didn't play half as bad as they usually do.
