Obviously, if rebuilding , Winnipeg would look to capitalize on moving big assets. Trading them to a team only looking for a one year rental would not yield a good enough return. I would expect the Jets to seek out a partner looking to sign him. A one year rental as a last resort.
Another 'mentor' comment. You don't make a blockbuster deal for a player to be a mentor. Mentors are overrated, we have coaches to teach players.
Mentors can help, but everyone gets really carried away with them.
I like Levi, but i think his size is a legit concern. I hope I'm wrong. I'll just keep having thoughts of Roger Crozier. KA ain't gonna trade him anyway.
So you understood that to mean that all big goalies are great ?
If I thought UPL was the guy, I likely would have said so.
I read you comments and they're usually worth reading, this one wasn't one of them.
I started following him in high school when it was said that he and McDavid were the 2 big guys in the draft, He was my favorite player on the Sabres and I hope he wins the Conn Smythe. He's done nothing to change my view of him. He was smart enough to get out while the getting was good. Obviously, a life changing decision in the most positive way. We should all be so wise.
The question was 1 for 1, with an extension.
Not any other scenarios.
There's a chance, not sure a 'damn good' chance.
He's pretty damn small, that gives me great concern. It's not a small goalies game anymore.
Stone had back surgery last May and this January, I would say he was recovering more than resting. I think back surgery is a legitimate reason to have a player on LTR.
My point was, I'd he's such a strong leader, why the alleged problems in the locker room before? He's getting credit for a good locker room when it's good, but no blame when it's bad.
