Oskar Sundqvist was St. Louis’ 2C
- Rexypoo

Ummm..... I think you meant to say Brayden Schenn.

Schenn and O'Reilly were broken up after game 4 in the Jets series.

One more interesting note:

Tanev received 1 fifth place vote for the Selke.

Lowry again received 0 votes for the Selke.

Maurice also received a first place vote. I bet you $5 it’s the same person. Munz be.

I don’t hate Wheeler at all! I love Wheeler.

I’m worried about Wheeler and his contract due to his age, and his across the board drop in everything last season. Pair his decline with the now rampant rumours that he may actually be the problem in the room, and you have me quietly panicking

- Rexypoo



Okay great, I just wondered. I'm a big Wheeler fan as well.

One does have to wonder if Wheeler was playing hurt late last year, or something personal or what. Something seemed wrong.
Also if problem in dressing room, well, there is a problem. Guess we'll find out when they drop the puck.
I still think/hope that Wheeler drives the bus on the Jets.

I also say we offer sheet Marner or Meier. Both teams will not have the opportunity to compete with the Jets on a contract offer.

I'd love to see the Jets offer sheet Timo Meier. An excellent LW/C and played well with Ehlers in Halifax. It's not Chevy's style though and it opens up a can of worms that might suddenly result in teams doing offer sheets on several Jets players

So what if they do? Marner is a superior player to Connor and Laine. I said before we lose our 4 firsts and gain another teams 4 firsts which are likely to be higher in the draft anyway.

Remember fear is ego, it will keep you trapped in a place where you cannot escape.

Better off giving Kevin Labanc an offer sheet. He played the 3rd line and 2nd PP unit and put up 56 points. That's a guy who is ready for a bigger role with a team. Jets could offer him a little less than 6 and SJ can't match that and would let him walk, getting only a 1st and 3rd in return.

- bennythehat


Great question. I just checked. Jacob Trouba got 0 Norris trophy votes.

The only defensemen that got votes are in order:

Mark Giordano
Brett Burns
Victor Hedman
John Carlson
Morgan Reilly
Kris Letang
Roman Josi
Ryan McDonagh
Seth Jones
Mattias Ekholm
Olivar Ekman-Larsson
Jake Muzzin
Jared Spurgeon
Dougie Hamilton
Erik Karlsson
Zdeno Chara
Jaccob Slavin
Thomas Chabot
Esa Lindell
Brett Pesce
Jeff Petry
Ryan Suter

In fact, Trouba has never received a single vote for the Norris. Not even Winnipeg media think he's worthy of that award.

Most of these names don’t belong, but Esa Lindell and Zdeno Chara are particularly glaring

All those names belong on the list. Remember Rexy, you nor I have votes to decide which players belong. If a voter believes a player belongs then that player belongs. Chara and Lindell most likely got votes from reporters who cover their teams. Like I mentioned previously, no one in the Winnipeg media has ever voted for either Trouba or Lowry and they watch them play and practice daily. It just shows how some people on this board overvalue players on our team.

Most reporters don’t know what they’re looking at. 90% of them here are just water-carriers.

As for the voting, the fact that Doughty won at any point during Karlsson’s career shows how brutally uninformed the voters are.

Tanev got a 5th place Selke vote as the 3rd most effective defensive player on the TLC line

I am hoping that Alex Newhook (centre) falls to Jets at 20. Hard to rank due to league (BCHL) and committed to Boston College.

I think you missed his point. It's Evidence that reporters aren't necessarily any smarter than us. I think most of us would agree that Lowry deserved that Selke vote before Tanev.....

its a little nebulous but I like to think that reporters don't report everything they know. Maybe someone voted Maurice because there was so much shyt going on behind the scenes that they wanted to honor his work (or maybe it was a spoof). Maybe Tanev gets the vote because ???
