My two fav teams Habs and Jets.
Being from Winnipeg there are my home team. Even if I don't live there now.
I was hoping that they would have done more in the off season. But Winnipeg isn't that attractive city compared to other NHL cities and plus the taxes. Hard to find players to sign.
Now the only real trade commodity is Ehlers.
WPG
Ehlers
CAL
Andersson
2025 draft pick.
As of right now biggest move WPG made was to trade McGroarty
WPG
McGroarty
PIT
Yager.
I think WPG has a good team but idk about a good deep playoff team as it is. They still need improvements. But then so does every team.
Habs have been busy improving their team. Whether they make the playoffs or not they will be a little more exciting team to watch.
MTL
Laine
CLB
Harris
Trade I questioned. But it is a win trade for Habs for at least 2 yrs anyway.
Habs goaltenders are a question mark. For now. But Fowler is highly prospect. So the future should be better.
Anyway you look at it Habs should be a good, strong playoff team in a few years. They need another cup!
Can't wait for the season to get started !

MUZZA: I can't wait to have hockey back too brother!
2.) 27 Aug 2024 16:10:06
Ehlers doesn’t fit with flames plans to old. Trade would be for youth.
24 Aug 2024 00:21:28
I can't believe MTL traded for Laine.
MTL
Harris
CLB
Laine
2026-2RD.
Thoughts on this trade.
I don't know if it's a good one for the Habs. Unless Laine can return to a 40 goal scorer.
Maybe St. Louis can work his magic on him.
Another note
For Winnipeg Jets.
Thoughts on WPG signing Klingberg to a PTO.
If healthy, he can help with the powerplay. Tall Right side defenceman. Done side is his defensive play and health.
Thoughts.
1.) 24 Aug 2024 04:21:29
Muzza, im really excited about adding Laine. I think this guy is a top 5 sniper in the league. Obviously he has had some personal issues, however, the fact that he actually went to deal with these issues shows me he is maturing. I have a lot of faith in Hughes and Gorton and they did a lot of research to see if this guy is ok.
Habs haven't had a really exciting goal scorer since Richer in the 80's! . Maybe it won't pan out, who knows. But as a fan who hasn't seen alot of offensive talent, im excited.
2.) 24 Aug 2024 14:03:17
Hey Sodahabs24
If Laine can return as player he was when healthy then I agree this is great for the Habs. Finally have a sniper. And they play him as such. But my concern is at a salary of 8m and his health, mental health at question. I know he had help with his mental health.
But I know there will always be a trigger. But there is hope. Hopefully this is exactly what he needs a new start on a team that believes in him
I agree with he might be or will be the best goal scorer Habs had in decades.
I’m also a Habs fan. So this could skyrocket their rebuild .
3.) 24 Aug 2024 17:10:46
There is deffenitley some risk with adding a player like Laine, but the reward is huge. So, let's just see what will come. It's only 2 years if it doesn't work, so the management didn't screw up the future if this experiment fails.
As a Habs fan since 79, I can't remember being so excited for a season to start. I'm not saying they are gonna contend, but they should battle for a playoff spot, playing meaningful games at end of season. It will just be fun to watch the kids all take one more step at becoming a really good team.
4.) 24 Aug 2024 18:57:53
I’m actually looking forward for this season as well.
If Liane stays healthy and Dach can stay healthy. I agree I think this team can finally make to the playoffs or at least come close and play, like playoff hockey trying to get into the playoffs. This would be great experience for the younger players. Give them a taste.
Goaltending is still a minor question. But think they’re good enough to help get the Habs to the playoffs. Beyond that. Who knows. Playoffs is a whole new season. Anything can happen.
I’m also looking forward to see the hab’s projected lines for this season.
5.) 24 Aug 2024 20:24:40
Yes goaltending is still a concern. I'm not sure who they will overtake to make the playoffs, as all the teams will be pretty strong still and others also are up an coming. But to watch the growth and possibly a push to make the playoffs, will be good. Lots has to obviously go right, like you said health will be key.
6.) 25 Aug 2024 10:54:30
MTL can’t lose on this trade. They have the cap space, and even if Laine doesn’t turn out to be a piece, they turned a glut on D into an open slot for another kid like Hutton.
If nothing else, Harris was a 3rd that they turned into 2nd.
Whether Laine becomes part of the teams future, or a rehabilitated trade chip like Monahan, the Habs have done a shrewd trade. Laine is likely on his last NHL chance too, so he has every motivation to be the best he can me.
23 Aug 2024 01:35:22
So Chevy made a surprise deal. Thought he would wait TDL. But surprise!
Don't know much about Yager except he is a center who put up 95 points last year for Moose Jaw as 19 yr old.
WPG
McGroarty
PITT
Yager
Thoughts ?
1.) 23 Aug 2024 03:48:02
I like it. Chevy made a good deal in a tough spot.
2.) 23 Aug 2024 18:08:17
I think Winninpeg did pretty good . Yager needs a little size, but he is a very dynamic player. He's a Prairie boy I believe, so he shouldn't have any issues playing in Manitoba.
3.) 23 Aug 2024 19:42:42
It was a good trade for both teams. Unlike McG Yager is too small and light to be NHL ready this season. However he seems to have a scoring touch that the Jets desperately need.
4.) 24 Aug 2024 20:26:44
@islandjet you realize a guy named Cole Perfetti plays on your team?
04 Aug 2024 16:58:18
Read that Calgary Flames might be interested in trading Andersson. If so WPG should be checking out what it would take to get him.
WPG
McGroarty
?
CAL
Andersson
Pospisil
Type trade.
Andersson gives top 4RD and pair him with either Morrissey or Samberg.
Pospisil gives immediate sand paper player who can play center. Not sure if he could be a 2C. ? This is only a conversation piece trade.
But if I'm WPG I would be making a call kick the tires and see.
1.) 04 Aug 2024 18:24:36
If Winnipeg wants Anderson it would be McGroarty plus. Not the flames adding.
2.) 04 Aug 2024 21:07:13
This seems like a good potential fit between the two teams, with some fine-tuning to bring it together. Interesting Muzza?.
3.) 04 Aug 2024 23:22:41
Thanks Chickenfoot!
Might be a good trade as long as WPG doesn’t have to add Perfetti.
But I think McGroarty and Andersson are nice starting pieces. Obviously both teams probably add something to make it work for both teams.
Andersson basically at his prime age so good fit for WPG who still wants to win.
4.) 05 Aug 2024 03:46:36
I agree 100% Muzza?.
5.) 05 Aug 2024 06:57:24
Agreed with the above. Andersson is the type of player Winnipeg should be looking for.
02 Aug 2024 21:53:33
Hey guys.
I saw this potential trade but I think it was rejected. Sources do not fully know the reason why. Speculation is McGroarty's demands.
But the trade was
WPG
McGroarty
WASHINGTON
McMichael.
Like to know you thoughts and opinions on this. There was any others discussed as far a I know. One for one. Personally maybe WPG has to add something more. McMichael has some NHL experience and Center.
My opinion is you're trading an unknown value player for a needed positional player with little NHL experience. This trade gives WPG a 2C.
But IDK.
Want your thoughts.
1.) 02 Aug 2024 22:12:22
It would be okay as long as Winnipeg isn't adding. The Jets would take a hit on ceiling, but would have an NHL ready player. I just don't know what they'd do with McMichael.
He isn't a 2C now and hasn't shown much evidence of having the offensive chops to get there, so I think he tops out as a 3C, which isn't a need.
I can see why it didn't work out.
2.) 03 Aug 2024 00:21:00
McMichael is a Center but Washington is more likely be moving him to wing. I checked his stats. Not bad but not great. If he could be a 2C then maybe this trade would make since but if not then the trade doesn’t work. Jets don’t need wingers
I don’t know about McGroarty’s value but a trade must be one quality needed commodity.
Lots of rumours, but lots of them do not make sense for Jets. WPG has 2 major needs 2C and top 4RD. But not much money left. Especially after signing Perfetti when they do.
Lots of trade rumours about Habs getting Laine. Idk why Habs would make that trade.
3.) 03 Aug 2024 11:44:53
McMicheal has top 6/ 2nd line center potential but his development has been sheltered because of the depth Washington has had with Backstrom/ Kuznetsov/ and Strome.
With the first 2 now gone and Dubois coming this season, McMichael is still looking at probably playing 3rd line C or moving up and down the lineup. I think with Winnipeg he would have had an actual opportunity at more minutes and a role that he's better suited for as a 2nd line C.
McGroarty has the higher trade value but hasn't had a chance to establish his potential yet, I think thus trade was proposed because it would have given both players a chance to get what they're looking for in more NHL ice time. But instead Washington opted to extend McMichael and see what happens with this seasons new roster.
4.) 03 Aug 2024 17:43:24
I like McMichael for the Jets in a trade but I believe that McGroarty will become a Tkachuk type of player.
In fairness to McG he has a good point as the Jets have not had a good record of dealing with their young players.
Scheifele playing on the 3rd line until an injury to Little, Morrissey was to be sent down until Buff demanded that he play with him,
Connor who was sent down yet again until an injury forced the Jets to recall him 3 days later,
Heinola who has never been given a fair chance despite looking very good when in the lineup until his injury last season
19 goal Perfetti who was in the press box watching the Jets struggle to score goals.
I hope that the Jets sign and play McG but will Arneil give him a fair chance to play through rookie mistakes?

Nice to see Habs improved their team.
While Jets did basically nothing to improve their team. I guess Chevy is banking on Lambert and Chibrikov on not only making the team but already being impact players.
Big day in signing 2 back up goalies!!!!!!
Missed out Stephenson or Monahan.
Sad you trade a first round pick not sign the player you traded for. I know it's not, But it looks like he is willing to just give draft picks away. Sad.
21 May 2024 01:36:07
Anyone come up with a Hellebuyck trade?
Winnipeg Jets if possible would be smart in trading Hellebuyck and re-signing Brossoit long term with a decent back-up.
I know he has NMC. But that doesn't mean he is entirely un-tradable. Just means he has full control of where he goes.
He is great in regular season. But look at his playoff stats. Not that impressive.
1.) 25 May 2024 13:23:34
Maybe to NewJersey. for this year's 1st, Allen and Holtz? You could switch out Allen for Dawes for a younger goalie with some potential.
2.) 26 May 2024 17:13:59
I like this trade. Holtz has potential to be top 6 forward. And Allen would be a great backup to Brossoit. Also gives Jets a first round pick.
But I’m thinking that if Devils trade Dawes instead of Allen then the first round pick probably would be a second round instead. Which still isn’t that bad.
07 May 2024 02:24:23
With Rick Bowness retirement. Who would make a good replacement coach for the Winnipeg Jets?
I personally think they need someone who can actually light a fire in the players. Someone like Craig Berube. Holds players accountable.
I read an article that had 4 potential coaches
Arniel
Gallant
Berube
Evason
Anyone have any thoughts?
I always thought Bowness was the wrong guy. Don't get me wrong I'm not just blaming him. Players did nothing to help. Play way too soft.
Big changes are needed in Winnipeg. Not just the coach!!
1.) 07 May 2024 13:17:54
I agree, some big changes are needed, but that isn't how True North operates, so there is a very good chance that Arniel is the next Jets coach.
2.) 10 May 2024 13:39:01
Sounds like they took Brind'Amour offer off the table. I would be surprised if they moved on from him. but if they did he would do great in WPG or in TOR.
16 Aug 2023 01:11:10
What's your opinion on Winnipeg Jets sign a one year contract or PTO with Nolan Patrick.
Maybe him coming home might be exactly what he needs to start over. ?
1.) 16 Aug 2023 12:56:53
There is a handful of young UFA’s I’d want to give a shot on my team. Puljujarvi, Comtois, Gregor, Patrick. I think Patrick would be a good idea for Winnipeg especially if there going to be sellers.
26 Mar 2023 16:39:35
The way the Winnipeg Jets are playing right now I'm starting to think the Jets should do a complete rebuild. Do a fire sale in the off-season. The core group just not working, it's time to hit the reset button. I believe they could get a lot of prospects and draft picks to start over. New coach same results !!!
Thinking if they did just a retool, the results would be the same.
Also think Cheveldayoff has to go. He has done nothing to really improve this team.
It's like he is scared to do anything major. There are other options.
1.) 27 Mar 2023 05:08:02
I think that might be a bit drastic. Maybe more retool than rebuild.? They have good core peices with Hellybuck, and Morrissey.
Scheifele, although not Superstar, is good number 1 center. PLD, Ehlers, and Perfetti all are above average forward to continue to build around.
I think some tweaks, move on from Wheeler and see what happens.
2.) 27 Mar 2023 13:18:46
I think a lot will depend on what Scheifele and Hellebuyck are thinking after this season. If neither are winning to extend after this season, then it may be time to move on from them, which would signal a rebuild.
3.) 27 Mar 2023 17:32:20
This team needs a new, younger coach from a winning organization that will bring a fresh approach to the game.
The Jets have the talent but are still lacking the leadership to get the most out of it.
24 Aug 2024 18:57:53
I’m actually looking forward for this season as well.
If Liane stays healthy and Dach can stay healthy. I agree I think this team can finally make to the playoffs or at least come close and play, like playoff hockey trying to get into the playoffs. This would be great experience for the younger players. Give them a taste.
Goaltending is still a minor question. But think they’re good enough to help get the Habs to the playoffs. Beyond that. Who knows. Playoffs is a whole new season. Anything can happen.

28 Jul 2024 01:35:26
Have to agree.
Both these trades work great for Habs. But I think both Waddell and Chevy hang up the phone.
26 May 2024 17:13:59
I like this trade. Holtz has potential to be top 6 forward. And Allen would be a great backup to Brossoit. Also gives Jets a first round pick.

10 Mar 2023 20:22:48
I agree with you Islandjet. Meier and Schenn would’ve been great additions. Definitely would have helped both get in the playoffs and in the playoffs.
If by chance they don’t make the playoffs or again loose out in the first round again. Chevy has to go. Possibly Bowness goes too. Sad to say maybe it’ll be time to hit the reset button. Hire another GM (Laurence Gilman) Hire a younger coach, new ideas. (Spencer Carbery) . Do a rebuild. This organization is a huge mess. Lead by someone who is scared to do anything.
26 Jun 2022 18:18:09
The greater problem is if they trade Scheifele and Dubois, they will be (pending on the trades) weak at Center position. Without a decent Center guys like Connor, Ehlers are going to be able to have the success they could/ should have.
Loosing Wheeler would be no big deal. He is good in ice but very poor locker room guy.
So it depends on what you want. Individualism or locker room group unity.
30 Apr 2022 17:16:12
I agree with the coaching has to change. But Quenneville can’t coach in the NHL. Trots may be available. If not then why not his assistant Lambert?
Also agree with the defence needs to be changed and addressed. Schmidt and Dillon did not work out as hoped. Both could be traded.
Jets need to find a partner for Morrissey.
But for Wheeler! You want to pay a guy $8m to play 15m a game? I just thing that money could/ should be used differently. Like improve the defence.
26 Apr 2022 01:45:05
Extremely sad news on Guy Lafleur.
Being a Habs fan was because of Guy Lafleur.
Remember playing street hockey and pretending to be Guy Lafleur. Sadly missed.
He was also my favourite player of all time.
