I will get banned again soon, worry not.
And when they decide to sell, the first thing that will become clear is that no one else in Manitoba can afford to buy the Jets, just like no one in Quebec came to the rescue of the Nordiques or Expos.
The Jets may wind up moving to Phoenix twice.

The reality is, if TBay can net upwards of $2B, which investor will cough up $1B+ to bring a team to Quebec City?
Phoenix should & will get a team, the markets simply too big to overlook

Eventually the only thing that will need to make sense to Waddell is the need to be rid of Laine at whatever they can get for him.
And that's when Hughes will call him.

In the Oilers shoes I'd let Broberg walk. He's not proven enough to warrant nearly tripling his salary. Holloway, even at double what he was making, is still a relative bargain so it makes sense to match the offer sheet.

Yeah I think Broberg is gone. Suck but lick your wounds and learn your lesson. No reasons not to match Holloway though.
Oils fucked up never gave these guys a chance and kept playing scrubs
Broberg will pan out and only wanted 1.8 x 2 but Oils never made the move

Maybe. Or maybe the Blues just did the oilies a favour…
You dont fuck up like this with a potential top 4 young D , terrible asset management with Holloway as well
Its like Hugo losing Mailloux and Roy for a second and third rounder because slug vets with no future played ahead of them

This fucking guy. Pretending he still has a career. Lucic was washed up 2 years before the domestic incident. He wants another contract because his wife is divorcing him, taking the kids, and suing for child support. He knows she's going to clean him out.

He was washed up the second the Oilers signed him

Different situation though with a contending team, you play your best lineup right now. The time you can allow for young guys to develop in the NHL is limited. I don't think their development was the issue, compared to cap management. But playing hardball with the kids, in the precorious situation they were, was ill-advised and backfired.
