So, many people (I use that "description" lightly, as they are simply Jets haters) have said no player wants to come to Winnipeg. Well obviously that's not true as we have had many superstars, both past and present that had an opportunity to go elsewhere, but decided to re-sign (including Hall of Famer Dale Hawerchuck and bonafide stars Dustin Byfuglien and Blake Wheeler.)
Many ignoramuses claim they know why the Jets left (it had nothing to do with lack of fan support) and even more claim that no stars want to play in River City and moreover, they think they know why. They don't.
Many didn't want to play for an expansion Pittsburgh Penguins or Los Angeles Kings. Many didn't want to go to Edmonton because of the weather or high taxes. Well, look at these franchises now. Look at the championships they won and the winning culture they established. Soon will it be with the Jets as well. You'll see.
Over at The Sportster, they have compiled a list of former Winnipeg Jets that have either loved living in Winnipeg and playing for the Jets, or hated every minute of their time in the city. For those that didn't, the heck with you. And exactly like former captain-and now New York Islander-Andrew Ladd said of anyone that didn't, "We don't them here anyway." Couldn't have said it better myself, Cap.
