Thread: Playoffs or top 10 pick
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>WPGSK</b></div><div>I like those lines. Well done. Not sure the Jets need Bailey, but LOVING that you have scratched Schmidt for Heinola.

You need to fit in Chisholm though.</div></div>

I would agree, I am a season ticket holder for both the Moose and Jets. I just don't believe that Chisholm is better than anyone right now. Unfortunate, because we will probably lose him through waivers, but we can't just play him because of that fear. Also, scratching someone like Schmidt hurts. I am all on my own here I know, but I like his game. But, I recognize the need to get Heinola in. Again, not a fan of his, but he needs to play.

Bailey is just a decent veteran player that can be picked up at a low cost. All of our prospects are high end and shouldn't be wasted on the 4th line. He can also be sat if needed. Jets need to move on from Gustafsson. He is horrible, I do not want to see him in this lineup.

Thread: Leafs - Jets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MoSeider53</b></div><div>:laugh Hellebuyck sure as hell isn't winning no cup in Winnipeg, And he never said he'd resign with Winnipeg when he wants out.</div></div>

Sorry, I wasn't aware that you know everything Jets related. I am pretty sure that Hellebuyck said that he wasn't in for a rebuild. I also know that just after the Dubois trade, Chevy came out and said that he has been talking to Scheifele and Hellebuyck's agent and that neither sides have ruled out extensions. Those were Chevy's comments on re-signing the two, which I don't think he would make up considering he knows his players are going to see it, but to be clear. I did not hear Hellebuyck specifically say those words.Now, I will say that I heard that Hellebuyck said he will not sign an extension, but that was prior to the Dubois trade when he thought that Winnipeg was headed for a full rebuild. I have never and cannot find a single article saying that he said he will only play in the states or close to home. Not sure why all Wings fans think that any player born close to there wants to play for the Wings.

Like everyone has been asking, post supporting articles or stop making claims that everyone knows is false.

Thread: Winnipeg
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KDev</b></div><div>Show me any trade ever where a goalie returns this many assets, let alone a rental one at that. Fact of the matter is, big time rentals don’t normally bring in a haul fans expect. See Taylor Hall 1 year removed from a hart trophy, Timo Meier last year. Fiala the year before and the latter 2 were RFAs. I would seriously dampen your expectations if you think any of these 3 players will bring a winning trade back imo. I’ll happily be wrong if and when but until then I seriously doubt any of these guys have the trade value Win fans think they have.</div></div>

Timo Meier went for an absolute haul. San Jose fleeced NJ in that one and I am a Devils fan. Their is no haul in this Helle trade. The 5th and 3rd are statistically unlikely to make the NHL. The 2nd usually produces a middle 6 or middle pairing Defenceman. Vanacek is not good and a backup on any team. Daws and Foote will also not be top tier players. So where is the haul?
