You think Winnipeg loves that contract? You think Winnipeg has an issue with a Wheeler putting up close to an 80pt pace? He's not the issue. Scheifele is the one their fans are annoyed with. Same with Hellebuycks inconsistent play this year. Not to mention their defensive issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like i said, very few players of his age in the past 20 years has done what he's doing right now. Unique. You just keep ignoring that fact so we go around in circles.

It hasn't worked out for them this year, but if CH turns it around next year they can be back in the mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't every team just go out and sign whatever they want? There's a finite amount of players to go around. Why don't you tell me who they should have signed last year?

Why don't you tell me who they should have signed last year? we've all seen how bringing in UFAs can be a disastrous fit. We know Miller fits here. Thats actually worth something. The magic two year re-tool comes with risks as well. I don't see much effort on the 'move Miller' side acknowledging the risks of the prospects and picks we might get for Miller not working out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Why is no one talking about where Fiala is going to fit into the lineup? I think he would be a great fit with Petey, but maybe he can elevate Bo’s offensive game. Thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottomline is the issue is not Wheeler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hint, the answer is no because they have a cap number well above the actual limit. If not for Littles ltir status they'd have to shed even more quality players Edited March 19, 2022 by stawns 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
