The
Winnipeg Jets agreed to terms on a $42-million, seven-year contract extension with forward Nikolaj Ehlers on Wednesday.

The extension begins a year from now and carries an average annual value of $6 million, the Jets said in a release.

"Lucked" into the 12th pick in my fantasy draft and took malkin. Snagged parayko later on as most the guys I draft with are sabres or leafs fans so they don't know enough of him yet. For those reasons I'll likely glean towards that game but I have a feeling I'll sneak several peaks at the leafs game too.

hilarious that the Jets thought Mason was some sort of answer in net

Update - The score is now 3-0 Leafs - 3 goals in 2:58. JVR and Nylander scored the other 2 goals.

The Jets are infuriating. Why did they give Maurice an extension?

 

[old kummelweck]

Classic. Leafs outplayed and outshot for a period, end period up 3-0.

No idea, but part of the reason is undoubtably Cheveldayoff, who despite some solid drafting over the years just can't get the team to the next level. And he stays with Maurice for some unknown reason.

Winnipeg gifting Toronto a good start of the season. Mason is terrible. Kulikov is still looking like Kulikov btw, useless.

Haven't watched but that was my question. Is Winnepeg really that bad? They really remind me of the Sabres before they got rid of Bylsma... coaching is the issue.

WPG PP is 0/7, probably soon to be 0/8, and had some early chances before the Leafs scored one and then comically continued to show them how to finish.

Everybody seems to love their talent level/prospect potential, but almost every time I see the Jets play, they seem like a lackluster mess. The refusal to get league average goaltending probably has something to do with it. I think their special teams have been pretty mediocre as well (over last couple years).

Honestly seems like a combination of management and coaching, they also have seemed to be happy to be a sub-cap team with their own internal cap so I'm not sure there's a massive push from ownership to change anything as long as people keep showing up.
