Aside from Kyle Connor and Sheifelle, nobody else scores consistently on this team.

Vilardi and Morrissey would like a word.

I can understand why Helley was upset in his exit interview, but roll things back a year and there could have been a number of players upset with the goaltending we got in last years playoffs, so chill out Helley, and focus on stopping the puck. But you can't let NE27 and his 26 goals walk and replace him with nothing. Aside from Kyle Connor and Sheifelle, nobody else scores consistently on this team. Forget a second line centre, we need a second line period!!

Winnipeg Jets outline multi-million dollar overhaul of Canada Life Centre facilities

"Following significant multi-million-dollar front of house projects over the last several seasons, this year's venue reinvestment turns to operational spaces. A complete overhaul and reconfiguration of the Jets home team complex will add 3,000 square feet of usable space for hockey operations. The Jets complex has not been renovated since the team's return in 2011.

The renovation will benefit player performance and wellness with enhanced strength and conditioning spaces and a circadian lighting system which mimics natural lighting. State-of-the-art technology and amenities, a leading-edge medical treatment and therapy facility and an enhanced athletic workout space, complemented by elevated finishes and aesthetics, will position the Jets facility among the top tier in the NHL and serve as an asset for player attraction and retention.

The work will be rounded out by a new equipment room, the addition of a tunnel allowing access to the visitors bench without crossing the ice, and the relocation of the Matt Frost Media Centre where press conferences and post-game player availabilities are held.

Through almost three weeks of work, the 12,000-square-foot space has been disassembled and gutted of floors, millwork and built-in units with work underway to demolish interior cinder block walls and mechanical systems and remove concrete slabs to get ready for new slab pours. Being built by PCL Construction and designed by global specialists in arena and stadium design Populous, in collaboration with local firms Number TEN and KGS Group, the scope of the project requires an accelerated schedule and will follow aggressive timelines to ensure completion for the return of the team to start the 2026-27 season."

Tell us more about his strengths!

The article mentions he has the ability to play both inside and outside. That would suggest a combination of size, strength and speed. In our defence we like players that are that versatile, so he may be a keeper on the PR at the least. Learning the CFL game but still be an adjustment.

The Blue Bombers do have some room on their defensive line, even with the addition of long-time CFL veteran Jake Ceresna. Dixon will be in a fight with Kydran Jenkins, who played so well in his regular season debut last October, and does have the size and skillset to play both end and tackle.

I appreciate these articles. I wish Ed would have someone report on what's happening on the field though.

I didn't read the post and if no one has told you yet, it's not normal to compare a rule change in a football league to you moving your family to Guam. Whatever you think, I can promise you it's not "akin" to that.

That explains a lot.  Then you're not debating in good faith and I wash my hands of you on this topic.  Interjecting 2 sentences here and there regarding complicated topics and arguments that you aren't even reading doesn't help anyone.

[we've already heard rumblings that some of Johnston's other 2027 bold moves — shortening the field to 100 from 110 yards, 15-yard end zones and goalposts being moved back — could be scrapped after severe public criticism.]

While we believe the revamped playoff system is carved in stone, we've already heard rumblings that some of Johnston's other 2027 bold moves — shortening the field to 100 from 110 yards, 15-yard end zones and goalposts being moved back — could be scrapped after severe public criticism.

Awesome!  Thanks.  Shows that all the forum comments, and call-in show griping, and letter-writing does move the needle.  Of course, the pundit could be just making all this up, or his sources are just fans or other pundits, with no insight into the BoG or league employees... But it does give us hope.

Do not be silenced by the "you're just being emotional/visceral" shills!
