Regardless, Jets weren’t going to be in that conversation.



Convinced there’s a reason no prospects were moved. We are going to need them for the rebuild.

Apparently they were in that conversation but the Yotes didn't want to take any cap/money back so the Jets backed out.

Yes they will need to rebuild but the rebuild will never end cause they'll never part with their better picks or prospects, better hope they get MUCH BETTER at drafting.

That's really too bad. It seems like some of the media personalities and Scheifele don't get along. I think its more personal than anything else.

I was really young then, but wasn't Dale Hawerchuk treated similarly by the Winnipeg media to Scheifele prior to him being traded? Honest question.....

Unless he's hurt, he deserves everything coming to him.

He appears to have checked out! Absolutely no desperation - and he wears an "A?" I realize a couple of others may appear the same but he is supposed to be one of the leaders. Lead by example!

Too bad he is wasting his obvious skills.

Hopefully if we make the playoffs, the games don't interfere with his tee times!

I think Mike Smith was the main cause of Ducky's departure.
I think 55's numbers speak for themselves. In any true hockey market, the media would be all over him. There is a cancer in the locker room. Is it 26 or 55, or both ?

Ehlers has been doing much better lately, Wheeler has been brutally bad of late.

Connor- PLD- Ehlers will NEVER happen again.
They were great together for a few games at the start of the year.

It’s not about winning sometimes

It’s about appeasing 55 and 26

I don’t know about this. This is the 3rd coach that has put them in that position. Something tells me that the orders are coming from above.

Chipman is playing with fire if he thinks fans are gonna keep coughing up their money to watch this boring brand of hockey with too often a lot of no show performances.

Chevy must be quite B***** if he keeps putting up with management micromanaging him. You would think with him being this great hockey mind that he would want to go to a different market to show off his skills.

By the way I am loving the hashtags…..

So, it appears that many of you think that Chipman is involved in every hockey decision, from who we draft to who plays on what line.

To say the least, I am quite skeptical about this.

As owner, I am sure he is involved in MAJOR decisions. It's his money, so I don't blame him.

I find it hard to believe that he calls the shots for on-ice decisions.

I doubt that Bowness would have agreed to coach on that basis.

I am okay with #firechevy !

My eyes are on 55 and 26

If you are the leaders you think you are and paid to be let’s see it.
Sulking and sucking is a hell of a legacy to leave on and believe me that’s what will be remembered.

Watch for effort tonight, watch for intensity and caring

Oh I believe he probably has a lot of say in on ice decisions.

It would explain a lot of what we've witnessed over the years with certain players in certain spots no matter what.

Odd that will the Line Blender on at practice and even during games that they haven’t reunited Connor- PLD - Ehlers ?

Anybody have a theory on that one?

MS had two good games and I was ready to sign him for 10 M for 6 years, then free fall from there to now.

What a disaster of a year, from near 1st of the league to absolute worst.

I like the 4th line….. I guess. Trying to say something positive.

Time to move on from 55. Last nights loss was a back breaker and he just seemed to be right in the middle of a lot of stupid plays. As much as a like Wheeler, they should have moved him when they took his captaincy. Can't really play confidently after being removed as a captain and staying put.

On paper, Jets have all the talent in the world but cannot seem to put it all together. That roster should be at the top of the west. Not bowing out of the wild card race. Calgary has a soft schedule going forward.

That game was very frustrating to watch last night. Lots of panic against the worst defensive team in the league.

Well, we will have the Moose and Ice to cheer for this spring !

Was it just me, or did it seem like the TV cameras last night were up in the 600 section of that arena ?

The game appeared to be televised from the "nose bleed" section on the west side of the Winnipeg Arena!

Do they actually think we like that? Ridiculous!
