O'Reilly won a cup last year. That he jammed every team prior. Both for what he wanted. And the money he could leverage?
I imagine he's not popular in Colrado or Buffalo. But they never left town over his salary demands.
What do I really think? Winnipeg should have sat him out till they could trade him. Its not unlike any other business. They should not have made salary offers they could not pay. Florida still has their team because they have done it on an ongoing basis. Some dumb ass GM thought Tkachuk was a big tough N American kid. Paid him twice Selanne. All these decisions were costly.
Keith hung the Jets out to dry for a massive contract. One while the Provincial govt was covering their losses.
The repurcussions first saw Teemu traded. And that after signing a sweetheart deal to help the club. Then public backlash of the govt purse paying a spoiled athletes millionaire wage.
Subsequently public subsidization of the Jets was withdrawn. The team left town.
Calgary & Ottawa can keep their's. Tkachuk is a four letter word to me & many who grew up in Winnipeg.
With 40 odd million people. Vast mining, oil & gas reserves, but high extraction costs. In part due to small volumes of labour at high cost? Low margins in a fluid market may be our only outlet.
What other than natural resources is such an opportunity for Canadians in the world market?
Dang it!
Missed Lucas's recall, first games & NHL point. Now he's day to day after a puck in the head?
Congratulations regardless on your first games Lucas!
A good sign for the Oilers, Carlsson is our 4th rookie D to play their debut this year!
Like us with Toffolli?
Boston felt they needed a talent injection. In first place, they were not getting our middle 6 production? Jakes 3rd line production is the same as DeBrusks 2knd line #'s.
Were we really happy with Eriksson on our 2knd line? Jake moved up on our first???
And there also, we tried Jake on the first. Moved up, now back.
We're not that different.
Edmontons Oskar Sundqvist has been requested several times. 3ed line fwd Sr Louis, decent fantasy points, on ELC deal still, great for cap teams.
Prospect, picks, or defenceman?
