The Jets are better than any Canadian team not named Toronto
- sbroads24



i assume the thinking here is they are deeper overall than the oilers just short exactly one mcjesus?

I dont look at it that way though. Theyre not better than calgary either imo. Even so, jets never really went through an actual tank and rebuild. They just inherited a poop team and found top 5 quality in non top 5 picks (sans laine i mean)

you are saying brian little and other so so players meant more to the jets than the oilers losing a top 3 player in the game for half a season



yeah trouba hurt them a bit

nothing else is what I call upper tier players


and again mcdavid is a top 3 player in the nhl

- homiedclown

I didn't say meant more? Don't put words in my mouth

The Jets are a better team than the Oilers. The Oilers have the better superstar.

Fact- The Jets were better in Laine's rookie year than the Oilers were in McDavid's. Injuries or no injuries

Broncos cut TJ Ward

Bills short on safeties

Too bad they traded away Watkins, Boldin retired, and they're "tanking"

Much deeper.

The Oilers moves have been awful. McDavid and Draisaitl mask them.

The Flames have a slightly better defense, worse group of Forwards

But that again isn't true

A group of players make up a team

Just because one team might have more good players doesn't mean that team is better.

The Oilers have the best player on the planet and his skill set offsets everything else.

16 more points the Oilers had over the Jets but yeah they're better than the Jets...you're better than this.

Not to mention the Oilers were one win away from the Conference finals last year.

The Jets were closer in points to the Sabres than they were the Oilers

Laine and Ehlers are the Jets young studs
Monahan and Johnny Hockey are the Flames
McDavid and Dras the Oilers


Who has a 3rd forward close to Wheeler?

Id take the Oilers over the Jets for one single reason. McDavid.

Rest of the roster it isn't even close. The Jets are much deeper

Are you guaranteeing McDavid never misses any time again?

it's not even close

the oilers will make the playoffs for the next 5 years

The Jets have a top 10 center, top 10 winger, top 20 defender.

They will be perennial Contenders if they ever fire Maurice

- sbroads24

and the oilers will be adding Puljujarvi to their fire power

your point?

The original point is that the Jets have 0 reason to rebuild.

They are far from the Sens and Habs

- sbroads24



have the jets moves really been that great? aside from getting murray to bend over and relax their moves have been about average.

I like the flames big 3 forwards up front, jets have the depth there sure but i feel like a lot of the jets depth up front is potential based.

not really sure how good guys like petan, dano and connor are going to be.

That's what you're going with here?

Passing along a rumor with a feeling they would sign him

to saying something like the Jets are better than the Oilers

Two totally different things.

I am still not buying into the tanking

I think the D will be a top 10 group
