Aaron Rodgers Traded To The Jets

Written by: Jacob Davis | Published: April 27, 2023


                The Aaron Rodgers saga has finally ended. Aaron has been officially traded to the New York Jets along with this years 15th and 170th overall picks in the NFL draft. Green Bay receives the 13th and 42nd pick in this years draft as well as a 2024 conditional second that can become a first if Rodgers plays 65% of snaps for the Jets.

                This is a win-win trade for both teams. The Jets finally get a good quarterback that makes them a Super Bowl contender. They are a perfect fit for Rodgers with their elite defence and talented offence. Garret Wilson is a young dynamic receiver who won Offensive Rookie of the Year with Zack Wilson and Mike White as his QB’s. Imagine what he will be able to do with Aaron Rodgers. The only concerning factor is that Aaron is 40 years old and coming off his worst season since his rookie year. Even if he has a good season this will likely be his last season, and they gave up a lot. Next year if Rodgers retires then they are in the same position they were before the Aaron Rodgers trade. 

             Nor for Green Bay, it is Jordan Love time. After sitting behind Aaron for a couple of seasons, Love finally gets the opportunity to be the starter. Aaron Rodgers was the face of the franchise but it was time to move on. Rodgers wanted out and Green Bay got a great return for him. The Jets could have let him retire or traded less as the Packers did not really have any leverage, but they were able to get a deal done. Green Bay has a good supporting cast on offence and defence. The draft picks the Packers have received will help fill in this roster and they could perhaps challenge for the playoffs.

Unfortunately, their fairy tale run will not have the  storybook ending it deserves . Potentially t he NHL’s   most disliked team , t he Vegas Golden Knights, are  also a team of destiny with an unlikely playoff hero in Adin Hill who has emerged as a  starter and a C onn Smythe favourite. The Knights will win this serie s based on scheduling. As weird of a reason as it is, the Panthers had a ten-day layover in between the end of their round three matchup with the Carolina Hurricanes and game one of the Stanley C up F inals. A long enough break to cool down their hot stretch of hockey that got them there. That ten da y pause likely pulle d Sergei Bobrovsky out of his round three gro o ve.

Chicago Wins Bedard Sweepstakes in Controversial NHL Lottery

  Written by: Trey Kristensen | Published: May 9th, 2023 Dennis Pajot via Getty Images                   The NHL Draft lottery has come and passed but not without controversy.                The Chicago Blackhawks landed the #1 overall selection in the 2023 NHL Draft which will most likely be used to select generational prospect Connor Bedard. Bedard has lit up the WHL this season with the Regina Pats posting 71 goals and 72 assists in just 57 games. The Blackhawks look poised to begin another period of success behind Bedard.                The Anaheim Ducks, who had the best odds to land the #1 pick, will have to settle for #2 while the Columbus Blue Jackets landed #3. Some controversy arose around the Blue Jackets landing the 3rd pick, however.                     On the TV broadcast of the Draft Lottery the San Jose Sharks were announced to have the #4 overall pick. As the broadcast went to commercial break, the TV commentator announced that Columbus had received the #3 overall
