Thread: Lindholm and tanev
Lindholm is far more valuable than Nylander. People will say.. but Nylander, points... etc... etc... Sad, but that's how players are often seen as being more valuable. The actual truth that many don't want to believe is, a player is more valuable to a team by what they do for a team. Everything they do.

Thus... Lindholm >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any Leaf.

I state this as a WPG Jets fan with no bias. Just facts.

Tanev >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Liljegren.

CGY rejects this trade, despite probably LOVING the idea of having Nylander in their lineup.

The ONLY way this happens is if CGY continues to struggle getting Lindholm to stay and both Lindholm and Nylander want to sign LT contracts with the other team. Even then, CGY deserves more.

Thinking, Nylander, Liljegren and Minten and a pick for Lindholm and Tanev... and both Lindholm and Nylander agree to LT.

Thread: Make Winnipeg Great Again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RedWingsLover69</b></div><div>Ever consider that perhaps the reason guys like Namestikov stick around is because they're offered term? They don't like Winnipeg, it's just that Vlad has played on literally 8 teams in 6.5 years. He likely would play in Tijuana if they offered him 2 years, guy is just sick of moving.</div></div>

Definitely. No one likes being dumped around the league. But you completely missed the point. Vlad, Nino, Lowry, Ehlers and Morrissey have privately and publicly stated they like WPG, want to be a JET and work really hard. That's what matters.

He didn't have to say that and neither do the rest. But, WPG needs that. If enough players say it and some or many believe it, then maybe it sets a new mindset and belief that guys like E. Kane, Scheifele and others have hurt by their comments and play.

Hey, I grew up in WPG. I didn't stay. If someone gave me the same amount of money to play and live in Nashville, I would go in a heartbeat. I get it.

But, the JETS NEED guys who publicly say they like WPG and want to play there.

Vlad probably still would have been offered the contract based on the fact that he has a chance to play, but nice for WPG that he made some positive comments.

Thread: Make Winnipeg Great Again
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SpankyGeezus</b></div><div>Every team needs those character guys...

That's where acquiring young talent like Vilardi, Kupari, Holtz, and Swayman could be invaluable. You give those guys the chance to play important minutes and the odds increase that they reward you down the line with loyalty. Along with that, drafting high character players that are born and bred in the organization is paramount. I think Chevy and Co. have done well at this with picks like Barlow and Mcgroarty in recent drafts.</div></div>

Agreed X4. Character guys, young LAK pickups, Swayman and my 2 favorite draft picks in many years... FREAKING LOVE Barlow and McGroarty.

When the draft was live, I was on a few live feeds, watching it on TV and begging Chevy to trade up to get Barlow. That man is Luckier than he is smart to get Barlow at 18. When the Jets were up to pick and Barlow was available, I actually started praying... haha. I was going to head up "another" #FIRECHEVY campaign if he didn't pick Barlow.

Anyways... Cheers.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SpankyGeezus</b></div><div>Sure, I agree you need veterans to show younger players the way. That's where the core 4 of Connor, Ehlers, Lowry, and Morrissey can contribute. As much as you like Nino, he will walk in FA for nothing if you don't move him now. Also, Namestikov is not a key piece for Winnipeg. He is plugging a roster spot.</div></div>

Yes re: Ehlers, Lowry and Morrissey. NOT Connor. Connor is almost as bad as Scheifele for playing the wrong way.

You need more than 3 guys playing the right way.

Definitely don't want to lose Nino for nothing. Hoping Chevytakestoomanydaysoff can sign him to an extension. The JETS got him for a 2nd, so he may believe his worth isn't that high and re-signs for a team friendly deal.

Namestikov is a key piece for the fact that he has stated he likes WPG and wants to play there. He played up and down the JETS lineup as soon as the Jets got him and he seem to fit with guys that are not easy to match up with, like Ehlers. The JETS DESPERATELY need guys that are positive about WPG (my hometown, and trust me, saying nice about WPG is challenging, especially from people not born there). Can't discount guys like Nino and Namo who can play up and down the lineup and are positive. WPG NEEDS that. In so many ways.

The team needs a shift and positive, hard working guys are required, even if it is for another year or 2.
