Mayor’s Office. I used to be interesting here, but now I’m not. Then again, this used to be an interesting place, and now…(gestures wildly with his hands)
Then pair that with this:
To San Jose:
Morrissey
#8 pick
2027 2nd round pick
To Winnipeg:
#2 pick
#20 pick
Igor Chernyshov
Pick Stenberg at #2, and use the $30M in cap room to have fun with UFAs, RFAs, or picking up crappy contracts from other teams in return for picks.
Today's news makes my Jets - Red Wings mega-trade even more interesting:
To Detroit:
Connor
Scheifele
Hellebuyck
To Winnipeg:
Cossa
Sandin-Pellikka
Danielson
Kasper
Brandsegg-Nygård
Tell me that's not a fun deal...
@carrothjslv3@JetsEmpir3 There's 5 or 6 solid D prospects at the top of this draft. You'd get one of them at #8 and have the '27 pick to use or flip. Or flip them both.
@wpgjets4life@JetsEmpir3 A huge risk. But if they’re not going to break up the core, and there’s no reason to believe they will, then they need assets that can play now. Stenberg and McKenna are the only two in this draft that it seems everyone agrees are NHL-ready. Waiting 3 yrs for a centre won’t help.
@HellwarzNewz Winnipeg has the lowest municipal property taxes of any major city in Canada. Winnipeg also collects about 40% less property taxes revenue per person than the average of other major cities. Want to complain about school taxes, then contact your school division.
@MattCundill Tax burden relative to home value is a pointless stat. It costs roughly the same to pave a road, hire a police officer, buy a bus, or build a fire hall. Cities don’t get a discount on costs if property values are lower. That’s why cities make comparisons using actual taxes paid.
@jonismrnibs@ChrisDca No. Two new contracts with external companies, running to 2032, are currently making their way through the committee/Council approval process. One of the contracts would switch to a different company, so people might be getting confused about that.
Update: It’s believed St Louis/Buffalo went the distance on Thomas trade talks. Sounds like the Sabres aren’t willing to part with the necessary pieces. (Prospects, Player, 1st). Still teams nibbling, but the Blues are firm in what the return needs to be for the young center.
@ScottBilleck April 2022 wins over this. Schools were preemptively closed for two days, a Jets game was rescheduled in preparation for “the worst blizzard in decades.” In the end, there was some snow but it was no big deal.
@KevinKleinwpg The entire premise of this column is false. Re-assessment doesn't raise any additional revenue for the city. It just determines each property's share of the overall tax bill. Someone's share goes up, someone else's share goes down.
