@walsha Why is the rate of NTC’s and NMC’s so high in the NHL compared to higher revenue North American pro leagues? You rarely see a WIL LB on an NFL team demanding to play in a certain market or declining a trade. Agent issue or players? Seems like a bad long term plan.

[Dan St. Joseph @SingleWingDan1]

@JoeyFr33dom Prefer Lambert and DeMelo, but Seattle probably wouldn’t

[Dan St. Joseph @SingleWingDan1]

@hangarhockey Nothing will happen. Stayed tuned for the Chevy interview saying he tried, Yager is our future and if only Lucius had worked out.

[Dan St. Joseph @SingleWingDan1]

@jpolly22 Yes

[Dan St. Joseph @SingleWingDan1]

@jpolly22 They should strictly limit their use like every other, more financially successful North American pro sports does.

[Dan St. Joseph @SingleWingDan1]

@mikemcintyrewpg If this continues I think you have to see what kind of returns you could get at the trade deadline for Vlad, Iafallo, DeMelo, Schenn …

@NHLJetsNation I see nothing on his website or X on this. Please post the source

@WPGMurat I’ll miss Ehlers. But if some team plays him $9 million aav or more, I’m happy not to have that contract

@jpolly22 If he wasn’t a 2C on a wildcard team who were knocked out round 1, how is he a 2C on the top seed?

[Dan St. Joseph @SingleWingDan1]

@WPGMurat Interesting. Is Keiron Walton still around? Thought he might get a look.

[Dan St. Joseph @SingleWingDan1]

@mikemcintyrewpg @FansoftheJets Agree. As a general strategy in a market like Winnipeg GM should target players without NMC’s year round, not just jump into the trade board candidates at the deadline.

[Dan St. Joseph @SingleWingDan1]

@EliteJetsFans Great post! You’re right, not sure there’s a Kawhi trade out there. But try something different please! Be aggressive with RFA’s; go after any rising star without a NTC; don’t be afraid to trade talent for talent that’s better suited for playoffs.

[Dan St. Joseph @SingleWingDan1]

@mikemcintyrewpg Good point Mike. But, you have to consider some of the higher priced, higher profile players available may not have waived their NTC’s for the Jets. I think Chevy tried.

[Dan St. Joseph @SingleWingDan1]

@hangarhockey I’m not a Chevy apologist, but did we really expect to land one of the big fish? In a league that hands out NMC’s and NTC’s like candy, Winnipeg is number 1 as a hard no for most star players.

@mikemcintyrewpg Prepare for teams to start taking the Jets lunch money.

[Dan St. Joseph @SingleWingDan1]

@NikLynam Can we agree that neither Stanley or Heinola should be playing on a team with deep playoff or Cup aspirations? Ville is better, but should be D eight or nine on an actual contender.
