I think it looks great.

 

Agreed. I was nervous but I'm quite pleased.

[Zaun of the Dead]

it does look pretty sick. the sweaters they hinted at look a bit more purple-ish. I dig the new look.

[havok24]

No kidding!

That toe drag he did there was so f***ing nasty.

[Krylian]

The new/old logo looks outstanding.

[Spanky99]

McDavid is making a statement.

 

Love that Kid!

[Sammy225]

She is a race to last place for Jets and Leafs we will be in better shape to get that first over all pick once we trade Buff and Ladd lol

You can make good arguments on not retaining either of those guys, but the teams going to look waaaaaaaaaaaay different without them. Scary times

[z3r0s]

and we better get a good return if we deal them.

[BTS]

Wow, I didn't realize how disastrous the Jets have been since returning. Five seasons, one playoff series, and they were swept in that series.

[z3r0s]

Its really only been a disaster this year. They were building before that, so you expect to be s***. There was some real optimism this year after making the playoffs last year and having some nice young talent up and coming (Ehlers, Petan, continued development of Scheifele and Trouba). But its just been a s***** s***** year.

[Boxcar]

You'd think in 2016 they'd be able to f***ing spell "leaves" correctly.

Ya they were mediocrity 4 points or so out of the playoffs the first few seasons and i said if they don't do something in terms of rebuilding or adding they were going to crash hard and the time has come. Should have traded Buff before the season but they were delusional about being competitive. They need to get rid of some of the rubbish that came over from ATL and Build a team around Trouba Scheiff, Ehlers and possibly Lowry (unsure of him yet).

Lowrys a nice piece to have but probably not one to build around. Build around scheif, ehlers, trouba, hellebuyck, next year Kyle Connor and hopefully a nice player with that possible top 5 pick.

The Thrashers/Jets as a whole have yet to win a single playoff game. That's astounding.

That's insane, over almost 20 years. The Thrashers/Jets franchise might be one of the worst in NA pro sports history.

[burlingtonbandit]

I think the Jets are pretty well off as a franchise. The Division they are in is a terror and it sure hasn't helped them. I think they have one of the brighter futures of any team though.

[Sammy225]

If i am the jets i am moving Buff out and making a big push to bring Travis Hamonic in. And if you could keep Trouba and Meyers out of that deal that would give you a solid back end (Trouba, Meyers, Hamonic, Enstrom, Morrisey (eventually), Stew or Chiarot.

[Laika]

What's the big appeal of Hamonic? I don't get it.

 

20 games for Wideman seems like a bit too much. I thought closer to 10.

I call him the anti Buff.... Not going to pinch or throw up a lot of points for you but is probably one of the better young defensive d-man (it makes sense in my head) in the league. He wants out of NY to be closer to home for some reason.

 

I figured they would throw the book at him. my guess was around 15

[z3r0s]

Good god, that video of Price skating today is disheartening. What could be taking this long that shouldn't have him under the knife?

[Spanky99]

His appeal should bring it to 10, that's far too much for a guy with zero history.

[o2cui2i]

hadn't watched hockey for quite a while... decided to watch the game tonight. yuck!

Tank Nation is alive and well.

[King]

Jets extend Buff for 5 more years. $8 mil the first 4 and $6mil the last year

[Laika]

Why

[King]

Why

 

His contract was up at the end of the season. It was either contract extension or trade.

[Sammy225]

Well expect a lot of mediocrity from the jets for the next few years. They needed to rebuild this team instead they think they can patch it and well ask the Leafs fans how that works out

I think the Jets rebuild is far enough along they need to keep productive players. They have the young talent they need (especially when they get another high pick this year), just need it to develop what they've got.

They have as much young talent as any team in the NHL.

[Spanky99]

Wow... Crosby! Sic!
