Thread: Total rebuild because why not
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Show me some proof then that Winnipeg is worried about actual dollars. Winnipeg's owners could buy the Blackhawks with change they find in their couch.

Dream on. Winnipeg won't get suckered into taking Keith off your hands.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlickWilly</b></div><div>Especially for a low income team like the Jets. For example, in 2019, their operating income was -7% and had the 5th lowest revenue in the entire league. Do you think with having to play some of their young star players soon and signing bonuses becoming all the rage, they wouldnt trade a big money hole like Little for a low paid player like Keith, making half as much money as Little over the next 3 years? These things matter to presidents and CEOs</div></div>

Winnipeg is quite literally one of the worst teams in the NHL in terms of revenue but keep dreaming I guess. Poverty franchise

Thread: The Answer is DEFENSE
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Radu47</b></div><div>What? Carrick has played almost 100 more games in the NHL than the AHL. At 26 so far with solid results.

That's either underresearched or disingenuous

Also Kampf got opportunity due to a huge lack of Chicago forward depth while Carrick has been on teams that had often much less opportunity available

EDIT

Lol Carrick was actually on pace for more points than Kampf in 2017-18 *and* 2018-19 wow that's hilarious</div></div>

huh? Kampf has 1 less point in 50 less games. Also, how many points do you expect him to put up when hes getting started in the offensive zone less than 40% of the time? Hes a good defensive, faceoff, and PK. Carrick is a fringe 3rd pairing defenseman whos never put up more than 12 points in a season

Thread: Roster Musings
See, my opinion of Kampf is different. He actually has very good offensive awareness, hes just been hampered by having two guys with bricks for hands, Smith and Carpenter, on his line for the whole year. I do wonder if putting him at right wing would open up his offense a little bit. So my 4th line would be Highmore-Wallmark-Kampf. Having Kampf for draws on the PK would be more beneficial than carpenter IMO. As far as the lineup goes, I assume Shaw isnt going to be ready to start the season, because his status is still unknown right now. I think I would slot Janmark up there and move Suter up to the 3rd line. I am a little conflicted, because I think Debrincat just fits on the line with Suter and Strome more than he fits with Dach and Kane, but I dont think Nylander fits well with Dach and Kane. Probably something to sort out in training camp.
