A good direction.
I think it's a mistake to demote a captain and retain him on the team. Totally awkward situation, especially for the new leaders, that may impact on the results this season.
Does Kenny work for the jets?
He always takes jets side
Provides cover
Jets goons be fun to watch this year! Can’t wait for the season to start!
I’ve always wondered why Blake Wheeler never smiles and he’s too serious
They should have traded him!
I think wheels is a great guy that took the brunt of things. He’s captain and he should take a lot but 55 is a guy that seems to have walked away from this not only unscathed but is in the spotlight as though he is the new leader.
i am on hockey nation with coach frenchy and i saw blake wheeler on their chat line
Nobody strips their long term captain unless 1. Their was a problem 2. He is being traded
Didnt Bones try calling 26 he 26 only texted back sorry busy 🤷♂️
This is great news to me as I got very bad vibes from Wheeler being a Jets fan,
for his leadership role as Captain. Well Rick Bowness is the new boss in town,
and Wheeler and Scheifele won't be running the team anymore, where they just
stepped all over Maurice. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Bowness can
do with this talented hockey club, that has underacheived. I've being saying for
the last 2 years, first step to fix this club, is get rid of Wheeler, and because they
couldn't trade him, they did the next best thing for now. I believe he was the cancer
in the dressing room, so I hope to see a new invigorated team. I'm sure Wheeler
won't be a problem in his "new role" and he'll be a good 2nd line player the Jets
can use, because he's still pretty good, just not worth the $ 8 mil he gets.
I've got to be honest, I'm having a very hard time listening to Ken speak. I find him to be unwilling to admit glaring issues, unwilling to name names, he talks in extremes, and minimizes issues with this team and its players. Thank you Hustler for pushing back like you did so often! Keep that up!

Blake's time as a Jet is nearing its end. Been here since day 1. Last remaining thrasher. It's weird to me they didn't wait until Blake's tracksuit was thrown in the shower.
Nobody on social media with a brain said anything wiebe thinks they did
26 wasn't traded cuz nobody wanted his contract
Over 3 years Byfuglien, Trouba, Charot, Myers replaced with Pionk, DeMello, Schmidt and, ultimately, Dillon. Wheeler isn't the problem in Winnipeg, expectation is the problem in Winnipeg. Also glad Winnipeg is the one team that no longer needs an agitator or a tough guy. Good for them! Change the game from outside the playoffs. 2022 Jets…moving further and further from 2018.
For the love of god DO NOT give the C or even an A to Scheifele.
It’s a shake up well past due. Correct or not it needed to be done. Obviously a stagnant room. Make who ever it is earn it. As far as 55, is he a professional hockey player or an emotional teenager? Start the year with no letters.
Bonus has guys in mind, he said as much.
Said it before there is a turd(s) in that room, this is the first flush.
wheeler should be let go or tradsed. he has done enuff harm to the team.
I am agreeing with Ken on many of the topics he has spoken to. I especially like the respectful tone regarding Wheeler…I am a huge fan of Blake Wheeler. I have wondered since last year how well Wheeler recovered from Covid. I thought he struggled when he came back with lung capacity. I worried about him and nobody seemed to think anything of that.
The only reason he's still on the team is no one wanted to take on his remaining contract. 2 years at 8 mill per year.
So?
If we peel the layers off the Onion to get down to the core of the issue… it seems to make sense now that P.M. walked away because he didn't want to (or have the backbone) to strip the C off of "his guy" (my Captain) for the sake of the team having a "new voice" (as P.M put is as he walked out of the door). Seems that P.M. could (according to him) make a grown man cry but didn't want to be the Ogre to do so.
I would rather see Wheels as the Captain than Scheifele. Mark needs to first learn to stop whining to the refs over every call (or missed call – according to his perspective of things) before he can EVER have the hope of wearing a "C" on "ANY" team. IMHO – Blake has lost a step but not the heart.
Scheifele has to have a good year before the Jets really decide. He can keep the 'A' for this year, but…he's on 'trial'. I mean he's a terrible two way centre.
I don't think Ken's final analysis is correct. I can't see Mark improve that much (unfortunately). Offensively, very good, defensively, not good! Dubois is an even bigger cry baby than 55! And, that's really bad. I think Wheeler is not the main issue…however, him losing the captaincy is probably a blessing is disguise for him.
The shill gets the rope
Wheeler only there, because no one else wants that contract. Scheifele only there because Dubois won't commit long term. Neither player are built for a Bowness defense style system. Until those two are gone, nothing will change.
