Someone was saying that we have 2 scouts sniffing about the Buffalo carcass, picking up Pominville would really be an great add for the Jets from what little I know about him.

If he was going to resign here, Id be happy to pay Burmi+1st, considering that our first will most likely be a late one.

Overpayment. Burmi + 2nd and a 3rd would be better, in my opinion. Jets are guaranteed to pick top 16 at this point, and there are still quality players in that range.
So if Regehr is worth 2 2nds Hainsey is defiantly worth a late 1st. Also anyone notice how this situation is eerily similar to the lead up to the Oduya trade last year. Chevy set his price and let people come to him.

With Pominville we would still be holding the division lead. I'm
Not sure if that's in the top 16 or not.

Well, you can include Calgary on that list. They are in for some difficult years ahead.

Why would it be? It's not like Buffalo is much different then the Peg is. I'm sure places like Calgary, Colorado, San Jose, Florida etc.)
As of right now, we're leading the division and are in a great position to actually compete in the next few years. That's all going to play into his decision. Sure he could accept a trade to an instant contender like Vancouver...but teams like that are on the downward swing ATM. I believe that we would have a good chance of landing Pommer based on our ownership and the direction the team is going.
the whole NTC is sad... a lot of ppl have preconceived notions of winnipeg... and some dislike the cold (tho pom would be used to it kinda)
but aside from that, were not a contender, and theres no guarantee that we will be in the next few years either
so if players are making 5-8 team lists of where they would go.... i think unofrtunately we are likely on none of them

Has Pominville played with any of the Jets in the past or have any of the Sabres played with any Jets outside the NHL in worlds etc? If we do, perhaps a phone call from X player saying give it a chance with heavy on the sell, seems to work with other sports.
Word of mouth travels and I am sure that the TNSE organization has been getting a good rep.
We may not be doing to best in the standings, but we still have 3rd locked up so far, we have an rabid fan base and there are a at least 4-5 games that we should have won, could have won that we let slip away...and if we had those there would be a whole lot less talk about bubble team vs actual condender to make a deep run (not the cup yet).
What the Jets I think offer are an up and coming younger team not in a rebuild that with a few key positions as well as our incoming prospects might mature into a contender.
He has 1 year left after this, so it would be a matter of take the gamble and if it sucks, well...there is always UFA.
I would not count us out on that list just yet.

Oh, don't be like that bro. I'm sure Pominville is better than that. It probably looks something like this.

Kind of sucks we're not really hearing anything out of Winnipeg regarding trades. This team is in a tough place where they could finish either just out of the playoffs or 3rd seed. I still maintain the Jets are a bubble team, we have no second line RWer and we're relying way too much on our first line to produce our offense. It'd help so much if we could just get a top 6 right winger with term on his contract in case we don't make the playoffs.
I'm curious, is the lack of news because we're not doing anything or is it just that we're a tiny market lacking media exposure? Or is it that TNSE as a whole are just that tight lipped?

I'd say look for us to be more involved in rumors tomorrow. Although that may also be a product of TSN having nothing else to talk about. But I think Chevy is waiting to see how we respond tonight. Whether that be good reasoning or not, we need a good idea of which direction we're heading.

I think a good approximation of how the team is responding has been in the last couple of weeks. Chevy should be always poking at other teams, regardless of how the Jets are doing in the standings. Hell, the only reason the Jets are at the top of the SE is by the grace of better teams ******** the bed at the same time.

I am not the guy you want to be wrong about.
Derek Roy just went to Vancouver for Connauton and a 2nd. Players are starting to move and we'll be left out in the cold.
You'd think we could've offered an equal or better package to Dallas for Roy.
I honestly can't see Chevy doing anything.

Roy is a rental though, which I don't think Chevy is looking for. He is still looking for assets I believe. Guys who will at least be around for another year.

Yup, that's what I'm thinking. Sure would suck if we got Roy for an equivalent of the Vancouver package and ended up not making the playoffs. Not to mention Roy is apparently looking for an absurd amount of money so I doubt we'd resign him in the offseason.
A comparable package would have Postma + one of our 2nd rounders in the upcoming draft. I'd rather we use those assets+ to get a 2nd line RW'er that's more than a rental.

Chevy is looking for people who have more term left on their contracts, as he should be. The Jets are not nearly in a position ready enough to make a strong push for the finals. I will flip **** if he starts buying rentals because we stand a good chance of making the playoffs with the team we have.
That's why I could see us going after someone like Stafford. Two years left at $4M per year.
We need to make some type of upgrade on the second line, whether it's right now or offseason. With Scheifele next year, it will be basically two upgrades to the second line.

Atlanta bought some rentals the year they won the division and it set the franchsie back.
