I agree! Crawford would be a terrible choice. I’d stick with Ramsay w/Noel as Asst. Coach. Ramsay knows the players.

Ramsay as coach, try and get Noel as Asst. Coach for one season to get to know the players.

As per naming rights. MTS has them locked up until 2013, I’m sure the announcement is just a contract extension.

Team’s going to be named the Winnipeg Jets. The “Jets” hysteria isn’t about to subside and there will be people in Manitoba, like it or not, who’ll never accept a team named anything but the Jets. True North may have had a name lined up before hand, but it’s plans on the matter at this point are derailed.

Yes during an interview on XM Home Ice Chipman stated they probably would not have the jersey ready for the Draft, and that the team would probably use the NHL shield as the jersey for their pick to put on or something to that effect.

I’m still having a hard time believing that they don’t have something ready given how prepared they were with every other part of this transition… My speculation is that they are trying to wait out the “jets” hysteria so they can introduce the team as the Manitoba Moose…

Noel or Ramsay. Which do you guys think would be best fit for True Norths vision?

Oh God, anyone but Marc Crawford….

In regards to the article about uncharted territory in the US for hockey, sure, there are many big cities that dont have any hockey, or support a lower level. BUT, just because they dont have hockey and share that with the combination of being a large market, in no way means anyone should look at putting a team there. Atlanta was a mess, Phoenix continues to make the NHL look like a joke, and it wont be long before something in Miami blows up. I know the point of the article was just to evaluate whats out there, but i am so sick of people throwing around names of cities when in reality, now that you guys have a team back, theres no readily available place to move an NHL franchise.

I thought he said it wouldn’t be ready in time for the draft. I don’t believe that either, FWIW.

My sarcasm detector is going off the charts (at least I hope it is).

Did anyone else hear the Chipman quote that the jerseys wont be ready for next season, and they will play with an NHL shield?

So Millard takes away our faint hope of knowing something this week only to replace it with faint hope. Thanks Millard.
