GAME DAY: Winnipeg Jets @ Ottawa Senators - 5:00pm ET - Sun. Mar. 17th, 2013

Why the hell would they lock up Hainsey? He's a dime a dozen D man that can be had anywhere. I would take Benoit over Hainsey at this point.

Well if Bogo doesn't want to stay in Winnipeg, I doubt he'd like it in Ottawa.

I doubt they will fire Noel, he was their guy when they hired him. The Jets are still the Thrashers for the most part. I don't think there is any playoff expectations they need a few years to rebuild most of that roster.

As for Bishop, the goalie market is oversaturated right now, you also got Schneider/Luongo as well on there.

Ignoring goalies who have played fewer than 5 games, Bishop is 9th in SV%. Rinne is 24th, Price 25th, Schneider 30th, Luongo is 26th.

I don't think the market is over-saturated with goalies in the top-10 SV%. I don't think anyone wants Luongo now, and Vancouver is probably not as willing to move him now.

he plays a lot of minutes for them. the list of players wanting to live in winnipeg is super long.

It's an odd year, there is no way Bishop is better than any of those goalies listed.

Winnipeg is a sad, sad city to live in. that alone is enough to want to get the hell out of dodge. Ottawa may note be the center of the universe either but it's within short reach of many places. plus we are on the verge of contending. something winnipeg isn't exactly.

Yah, Hainsey is awful... he's over paid and he's about as replacable as you can get. They will put Trouba into the lineup next year over that plug.

He's also playing behind a defense consisting of 3 NHLers, two old men and Marc Methot.

Short of being 1 mil a season... I wouldn't do it. Way better options out there.

Some players like it there apparently.

Bogosian is from Massena which isn't far away at all. Pretty much right across the border.

Small sample size too, I doubt any team will bet their future on a young goalie. Look at Tampa and Lindback.

Steve Mason won the Calder Trophy once as well and look at him now.

Bishop still has a lot to prove to be thought of a number 1. the advantage is that he's proven he's more then adequate as a 2. a team that's unsure of their number 1 is exactly where Bishop should land. that's why winnipeg is perfect as a destination.

Ottawa's list doesn't even include the Sens (Winnipeg lists "Sports and Gaming" as #9, and that includes the Jets).

Bogosian is basically from Ottawa, fyi so that's BS right there in terms of that excuse. Again though, Winnipeg isn't trading him.

Sens fan growing up, Paul McLean, team on the rise. What's not to like?

oh man! that is a sad list for winnipeg! they should hide that! I'm sure for a outdoors enthusiast there is some cool things surrounding winnipeg but the city is a sad cry.
most players decide to do what they want and where to live in the off season. it's when the season is on that you must factor in what to do. that blistering cold that hits Winni in the winter isn't being advertised in that top 10.
at least ottawa has some sort of life even in the winter. it's not full lock down.
