Too bad Rutger couldn't bring in a high prospect who wants to play for Winnipeg

[@RocketSlime]

We didn't trade him yet have we?

[@areacode911]

@@RocketSlime No takers. They tried to trade him. But I guaranty that when he is available, teams will make a run at him when he hits the market after his time is done in Michigan. Jets handled this situation poorly.

[@RocketSlime]

@@areacode911 the thing is he wanted to jump from college to NHL having a clear road to it without going to the AHL but the jets want him to go to the ahl to hone his skills a bit more for like a year and it's causing dissonance

[@areacode911]

@@RocketSlime yes I am quite aware of that. I think it’s a testament of the Jets slow development that affects players. Give Ruther a couple of games to see how he does. I see Rutger’s point his teammates jumped right on to their nhl teams and played right away.

[@RocketSlime]

@@areacode911 the issue is those teammates are jumping to dog shit teams and they are basically nobodies I think what's happening is a case of bad Fomo where he sees his friends "Progressing" but they aren't really progressing cuz the truth is most of them aren't gonna be that needle mover the way Mcgoawrdy is (Which he ABSOLUTELY is imo)
