I normally don't respond to these, even if I don't agree with the opinions stated in them about Winnipeg. It's not like me offering a counter-argument will raise your opinion of us from 14th to 1st. But for the sake of enlightenment:

- Two of our top three scorers are S31, so our young guys are doing just fine. Not to mention Corey Bearss hasn't packed the stat sheet offensively but has been critical as a two-way forward on our first line. Furthermore, we called up arguably the best defenseman in your draft class this season in Isaac Cormier-Hale.
- We are fifth in the West with enough points to be third in the East. Every season since S32, the fifth place team in the West would have finished precisely third in the East. It hasn't always been us, but it's been true the last four seasons. If that is a turn-off, especially as a player who believes you'd be able to improve our top six (presumably enough to pick up those three points we are behind LAP ... LAP, for crying out loud, they won the West last season and might miss playoffs this season because the West is so bat shit insane), I'm sorry to hear that.

Sincerely, best of luck in free agency.

So you're saying we should just fold all teams that finish below the 5th place team in the west?
