EmployeeoftheMonth Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I was just watching The Jets play the Sharks, and I'm really liking the Jets away "white" jersey. They look really good out on the ice. I think I'm changing my "awful" vote to somewhere between "Meh" and "Love them". lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greensman Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Mike and the New Jersey Devils are in the very small club of elite teams in this league (I can think of 5)... He has built and worked the roster to create a hell of a mean team, and they will do very well this year. Anyone who criticizes him better have a team of similar stature before they even open their mouths. Anyone know a guy named Mike Keenan? How bout a guy named Brian Burke? Were they known for being popular and nice? If a player won`t play for NJ because the GM has some mercenary tactics at times, that`s fine. There are just as many players who like to win. I agree with Squeak... Have fun poking at guys, but keep your critiques to yourself... undoubtedly, you WILL be next. Respect is paramount. Besides, nobody gets to bug Mikey till I take him down in the first round come April . BOOM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I don't ask questions... I'm too cocky. REPORT: The Isles have shipped out a top line winger and some depth for a couple of players that could alter the face of the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champions of Nothing Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I liked them before but seeing them on the ice I think they really look sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y0shi Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 QUESTION TO THE AGENTS + OTHER GM'S OF INTERESTED ON HAVING AN INPUT: DO YOU THINK THERE SHOULD BE A MINOR LEAGUE IR IMPLEMENTED? I brought this up last year after Stalock was out for the season last year, and was wondering what other GMs thought. If a minor league player on a minor league team was out for an extended period of time, isn't there an IR system in place for those teams too?

y0shi Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Well, conceivably I could do it but there were two road blocks when I looked into it last year. 1. It's tough to track because not all of the leagues report the same way. The CHL is notoriously difficult to get info about and I can't even imagine tracking the SEL. 2. It's a lot more work for c2x to keep the cap sheets up to date. I'm not opposed to it but we'd need an agreed upon source(s) and the commish would need to be willing to do the extra work which I'm not sure he has time for. My biggest concern is that it is a lot of work that will have little effect but that depends on it's usage I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
