Skeleton Jelly 2 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 But that's gross, no more Bos/Mtl division rivals? Meh!Meh means you don't care, but the exclamation point indicates you feel strongly about it.I don't know what to think! Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Haha. I guess my "meh" was leaning more towards disappointment, but I agree with the overall definition of the term "meh", sooooo, I also do not know what to think, or what I think. BAH! Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 But what division do you put Detroit in? Who do you move out of that division? Which team do you move to the south east?My guess is they cant do much this year until they know whats happening with Phx. But if Phx and everyone else is here to stay....Id seriously consider moving Boston to the Atlantic. Let the Islanders move out of Long Island.And Dallas should move to southeast.PacificSj, Ana, LA, Phx, COL (Dallas out, Colorado makes more sense)NWVan, Cgy, Edm,Wpg, ??? (Col+Min out, Wpg in, move NYI to Saskatoon!)CentralNas, Chi, StL, Clb, MINAtlanticNYR, NJ, PIT, PHI, BOSSoutheastTB, Car, Was, Fla, DALNEastTor, Buf, Mtl, Ott, DETYa, this all tells me Det isnt going anywhere. But I think Dallas in SE, and Minny in Central makes most sense.They need a whole new alignment. Washington should be in Atlantic with Boston.Go back to 4 divisions maybe?

serge 904 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 I am anxiously awaiting the news so I can order my Zach Bogosian Winnipeg Jets jersey. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Share Posted May 25, 2011 If and when this is made official, it will be extremely interesting what will happen with this team on July 1.Assuming ownership will open up the vault and spend to the cap, will FAs freely go to Winnipeg? or should we assume they will spend to the cap? Atlanta/Winnipeg has about $21 million in cap space and 17 players already under contract for next year. They are only behind the Islanders in $/open roster spot. Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I forgot all about Bogosian! That would be a very cool Jets jersey to have. May I sir? btw, do you have the Thrashers one? I wonder in the next few weeks where we can pick some up on sale. I cant imagine Winnipeg having an easier time in getting FA's than Edmonton ever did. Most players will still balk at playing there, and the team isnt good enough to get players to come just to win. For at least the first couple of years, FA's will be tough I imagine.

I am pretty sure he has talked to Turkoglu and he bad mouthed the city and the franchise. Link to post Share on other sites

I am pretty sure he has talked to Turkoglu and he bad mouthed the city and the franchise.You are wrong about Enes Kantor.He is scheduled to work out with the Raptors in Chicago.There was some miscommunication about an e-mail not being forwarded from his agent when he had to reschedule some interviews with a few teams including the Raptors.
