Does it really do the franchise any good to make playoffs this year and miss out on a decent draft pick? This isn't exactly a cup contender even if they do manage to squeak in...

Id rather make the playoffs but i also think a surprise team will win the cup this year. CAR might be the only legit team I like. COL got the President Cup jinx this year

With Barron's concussion Parker Ford and Danny Zhilkin have been brought up.

Another opportunity to catch up instead its another nail.

Salo 2-1 Jets

Not sure if its 1-1 or Avs 0-2 Jets

I don’t care as much this year about the jets as I usually do.

11 game losing streak will do that. If only they played .500 then it be a whole different story. Maybe not in the first round but playoff appearance is still a win in my books.
