Wow- that is quite the catch for Miss J. It is so heart warming to read about teenagers “who aren’t to cool to spend a day with the old fool.” It would appear as though this day can be filed in the “memorable” category.

Did not think it would even get to this point. And as Elliotte pointed out, this becomes a moot point if a long term deal is put to be ahead of the hearing. If memory serves correct, a deal could be struck during the hearing - after each side has presented its case.

Not surprised Murat Ates was first to report on #NHLJets Dylan Samberg deal of 3 X 5.75M But was “shocked” the reknowned Night Owl was up before 6am to do so. Or maybe he just hadn’t gone to bed yet.

The 26-year-old defenceman and the Winnipeg Jets have agreed to a three-year deal, the club announced Wednesday. globalnews.ca/news/11311203/…

Take notes- the quiz comes later. On an 0-3 slide, the Bombers can’t afford to “stand Pat”. I suspect it’ll be a challenge to operate efficiently with these “reconfigured “ pieces” vs Argos. Derek Taylor🏈 Doug Brown Ed Tait will break it down Fri Night on 680 CJOB pregame show.
