Ducky

Smaller drink then i expected.

And some thought he'd have trouble hitting 20 goals this year.
He may hit 20 by the All Star break...

The 2PP gets very limited time so why not give the time Morrissey, the heir apparent?
 

Yeah, not many people take time off before going to med school but ALL complete and undergrad before going to med school.
She wouldn't be in med school out of high school.

Teppo???????
 

I said the 2 Connor's had to come up big and they did.
Only 1 goal given up. Nice!

Hmm. I haven't heard any of that personally. Most I know are without long term memory defects and remember Pavelec's career .905 SV%. 
So what is it with Helle, specifically?  And I'm not trying to defend the guy. He hasn't been good this year, well below expectations so far. I thought he'd come out hot after playing with those studs on Team N.A. So there's all that...
But to me #'s matter more than random memories I have from the most recent games played. Problem with that line of thinking; you're more likely to remember highs and lows like Laine's goals or a bad goal given up by Hutch.  Memories and observations from the couch are nice for a space like this, so long as they aren't shaping the way our scouts, coaches and mgmt feel. Thankfully, I think we're safe there!
What I see in Helle > Sensational collegiate career.  Win/loss, save%, GAavg it's all there.  Great start to his pro career - similar numbers, except in goals against, but hey, our farm club's been a hot mess of late. I think all thing's considered, stopping .920 at the AHL level is pretty unreal for the team we had. (Go check Pav's AHL numbers, while he played with a superior AHL club. I'll wait, no problem).  So then last year, we get to see him with the Jets for the first time. Started off great, cooled down after. Still - 26 games played last season and he was the undisputed best goalie.  Most wins, only tender with a save% even close to league average.  
Maybe he's struggling now. After a whopping 3 starts.
I'll say it and take the heat- the answer isn't playing him less. It's playing him more.  I don't expect them to right away - but eventually you need to establish a #1.  Goalies like to develop a routine and consistency and it's hard to do that playing every 2nd night.
Lastly - i know, i know used up a week's worth of rants here....
What's the Jets alternative if Helle isn't the short or long term option?  If it's me answering, Pavs isn't even in the conversation. He's in his last year of his contract and after 400 games in the NHL - we know what he is. 

I have a hard time defending anyone in the fanbase who doesn't see all the good that is Connor Hellebuyck. I ain't in the business in calling out posters, but christ give your head a god dang shake. Helle is easily one of the top 10 < 23 yr old goalies around.
You see what Matt Murray did in Pitt last year?
What made Freddy Anderson expendable in ANA?
How come STL let Elliot go?
Ben Bishop is likely to be moved from TB this year... why?
But no no no...the Winnipeg Jets can't wait for their future #1 tender to develop. Blasphemy! 

Replace Burmi and Thorbs with Copp and Dano and I like this lineup.

Apology for what exactly?   Did I spit in your face?   Insult your Mother?
If you want an autocracy where you can pronounce your words of wisdom as gospel, go start a blog.  

MP is a better winger. 
Call up Copp. 
Go Scheif Perreault Lowry Copp until little is back. Burmi shouldn't be on the ice 

With Despres on LTIR, I think Ducks have space...
The new contracts are making Enstroms and Myers' deals look less impressive.  Market has adjusted.

Dreger saying the jets made a 6 years 5.5 million per offer. Apparently trouba camp doesn't see a fit in canada Tho. 
Honestly they need to trade him or let him rot. Those are the 2 options. 
Overhardt word isn't the truth. 
It sounds like the truth is he wants out of not only winnipeg but Canada in general. If that's the truth... the little entitled boy needs to rot for a while. 

Well we won't know for 4-5 years anyway.  

Petan has a good future...
 
 
 
...in Europe!

I would agree with this.  Would rather see Copp at centre over Burmi.

It is about time some posters on here gave Armia his due.
 the guy is one of the best defensive players on the team and has very soft hands.  he deserves a shot on one of the two top lines

I'm pretty sure it is what I stated above, where if an RFA signs late, the team gets charged the salary for the full year, rather than the partial year they played for.  This would have been instituted to get rid of loop holes where a team could make a player sit out to get cap relief.
And if this is what he means, then it isn't a blanket 30k per day.  The amount is based on what the player ends up signs for, and if the player doesn't sign, then there would be no cap hit at all.
Though I can't find that documented anywhere either ... but that makes more sense to me then penalising a team with a cap hit for an RFA sitting out.

Somebody explain to me why Armia  isn't playing with more offensive isn't playing with more offensive-minded players

If Armia is on a line with Kyle Connor or Ehlers, Jets win...

I've been singing his praises since the original trade.  Sometimes, if a guy isnt amazing right off the bat people write him off.  Most players take time to develop.  I wont say he's great yet, but he's shown a lot this season.  Needs to play with more skilled guys and see if he can generate some points.

Sits next game?

Armia finally rewarded for his hustle. 

We have a new 2nd line RW.

I would play him on the right wing with Laine and MP.
