The Jets made their bed when they decided to pay a 34 year old Blake f’n Wheeler and retain Maurice.

I still believe Laine would’ve signed here long term had they offered him top dollar and put him on the top line (he deserved both). The locker room was split into two groups a couple seasons back and it’s never been the same since.

Hopefully the Jets can lock up PLD long term. His dad coaches here with the Moose (AHL) so it’s not as far fetched that PLD stays as some may think.

Whose locker room?

I'm not sure I wanted to part with anything for him. Canes are gonna need cap flexibility sooner rather.

Looks like some of the locker room problems I had mentioned are starting to come out today. There’s obviously a lot more to it but yeah, like I mentioned above, Wheeler is the root of all the issues. 34 year old loser captain.

So Laine WAS playing too much Fortnite! Too bad he didn't windup in Carolina, he would have been able to fill a squad with Cane's players.

I will preface this by saying I don't like Mark Scheifele as the captain of an NHL hockey team. I think he sets a terrible example as a leader and I tend to believe that he and Laine probably couldn't co-exist given their polar opposite personalities.

Don't get me wrong, I'd have Scheifele on my team for a 2-year year deal, but he wouldn't be a captain if I could help it. Anyone remember this? What the video misses is Scheifele cross-checking Pesce into the middle of the ice, Mrazek then trips Scheifele, and Pesce goes after him.

I was at this game and remember Scheifele taking a couple cheap shots once the Canes got out to a lead.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
