@WiebeSunSports: The #NHLJets will not be issuing a qualifying offer to Matt Halischuk, allowing the winger to become an unrestricted free agent

No loss here. They can likely find someone better.

 

[JJ McCubbin]

That's the right decision for the Jets. Good luck to Hustle for the future.

 

[puck stoppa]

Good news, hope we get rid of Hali, Wright, Thor and pick up Winnik.

 

[garret9]

Good scorer.
Bad shot metrics.

For fourth liners I rather have the opposite (Tangradi) or someone who can do both.

 

[Romang67]

If he can only tell guys on the team how to properly play with Kane, I think this has been a successful experiment.

Crash the net and bang in Kane's rebounds. It's really not that hard! It's too bad he wasn't a very good hockey player apart from that.

 

[King Woodballs]

Good call.
Next up wright.

 

[koth]

For a little while he was on the Jets top line: Halis - Scheifele - Frolik.

 

[Grind]

Good call.
Next up wright.

Been told that F James Wright has not received a qualifying offer from the #NHLJets yet. Deadline is 4 pm CT today or he would become UFA

Chevy's on fire

Everything I wanted #whatdidchevydotoday

 

[Romang67]

It's too bad really. I liked Wright. Solid name for puns, worked hard, always providing amusement with his complete inability to put pucks in the net.

I hope he stays in the NHL!

Ya they are going to sign glass instead.

 

[JJ McCubbin]

I think Wright could be a decent 4th liner / depth forward for somebody but there are better options in the organisation.

Wright is the worst player ever. John Scott scored more goals than him. I seriously cant wait for that plug to be off our team

If Wright could just score 7-10 goals a season he would be worth keeping IMO, but the man just can't score.

He doesn't think the game fast enough. I think it's also confidence. You can't deny his work ethic tho and he was badly needed last year with so many injuries to our C position.

Each to their own. He's a mediocre player but I dont think he's deserved his whipping-boy status. Hopefully he gets a chance elsewhere and can carve out a career.

 

[StronGeer]

Yay

 

[Bob E]

Hopefully the same for Wright.

 

[GJF]

They'll part ways with Wright and bring back Thorburn a last time as locker room guy + Kane buddy and all around work ethic.

You know goal scoring isn't the only way a player helps their team right?

he was born with a congenital hand disease called Neufeld syndrome.
if it makes it any better, he was apparently good in the locker room. #wherehaveweheardthatbefore

some of the empty nets Wright missed were LOLfunny.
year before, he scored 2 goals. one went off his skate.
so whip away

 

[wpgsilver]

I mean, this is progress I suppose.

 

[JC Numminen]

Both Wright and Halischuk didn't receive them? I like that. Very good decision Chevy. Plenty of better 4th line options out on the market and in the system.
