Well... that says it all. The 3rd year coach is **** but Maurice and his 500 career record in close to 1300 games isn't.

He can waive it if he wants. I'd trade Enstrom or Myers ( if Trouba had a handshake agreement to sign long term) If not 4 D plus Little Wheeler Scheif Perreault and it's obvious. Lowry really? He's not exactly a huge loss. Gonna protect a 3rd line center? Jets don't seem like a team who would sign Perreault to a 4 year extension and then not protect him. Lose Lowry? Oh well. Copp Roslovic or Perreault even could easily replace him.

Apparently the London Knights wouldn't allow them. Yeah. A OHL team. Yup. Philly Flyers Jersey Devils The Peg Jets

Nope. It's Vegas Golden Knights. That's my understanding at least.

So in a stupid move that makes no sense Las Vegas has decided to not use their actual city name and instead call them... The Vegas Golden Knights. WTF is this

YA. ok. How is comparing a 61 yard fg try In a coaches 3rd season to a coach who has over 1200 close to 1300 games coached remotely similar? What the heck type of example is that. I guess you could say it's similar to playing thorburn down by 2 with 4 minutes left

If he doesn't sign long term July 1st 2017 they will trade him. That's the actual day.

We can sit here and say... just waive thorburn Burmi Stuart etc to the Moose but.. getting a pick for them is better than losing them for free I guess. You don't want to risk losing a guy for nothing when you could have got something even a 5th 6th 7th round pick for him. Seems stupid but... asset management is important

Perhaps more say on who gets called up. I think maurice will decide who goes down and I think elc contracts play a role also Copp Dano Petan all on ELC No waivers required. De Leo also. So that probably plays a role.

I'd imagine Chevy has some say in who plays or doesn't but I'd suspect it's 75 25 Maurice. Let's use Burmi as an example. .. rumor is they are shopping him... so maybe Chevy would tell Maurice to make sure he plays so they can "showcase" him.

D man get paid by putting up points. Trouba has been good but he's never gonna get paid a ton because he doesn't put up points

He will be one day. Jets finish bottom 10 again and I don't think he's back next season. How many years left on his deal? How many left for Ducky in Barrie? Bet it's the same and bet if the team struggles and has the same issues it's had under Maurice... Ducky is here sooner than ppl think.

Even with the Jets... 199 games coached 96 wins.

1283 games coached in the nhl 556 wins.

The point being.... he favors veterans even if they are underperforming ones to younger players. Go ask a Carolina fan (if you can find one, about Maurice) it's the same old story.

The difference between O'shea and Maurice is O'shea actually shows sign of learning from his past mistakes. Great example would be leaving in loffler when macho was obviously healthy. Maurice would pull loffler once the vet wad healthy. Petan Dano Copp have all been good and when little stafford and MP are healthy will be sent down and Burmi and thorburn will still play

I'll give you an example of a fundamental problem You call up De Leo.... high energy guy with a non stop motor. Your team is quite obviously gassed and tired. You leave Burmi and thorburn in... and the fresh legs of De Leo sits. Now does De Leo make a difference? Probably not but he's got fresh legs and for a team that's gassed and tired... where is the logic in not playing him instead of Burmi or Thor.

And if you think armia is more important than drew stafford on a Paul Maurice coached team you are talking out of yours

I don't think they make a huge difference. Would they be less gassed after 10 games in 18 days? There are fundamental problems with this team and it's on coaching

I don't disagree with the idea of this topic. I think maurice definitely makes lots of very questionable roster decisions. I think he definitely favors vets and vets can cost you goals every game and they don't get reprimanded. A rookie does that and he's benched. And I don't think Maurice is the RIGHT coach for a fast skilled team.... but.... crazy schedule bunch of top 6 players out.... yeah.... it's tough. But I'm not sure little Perreault or stafford makes a huge difference in the big picture

TUP is right. The schedule has been a disaster for sure. 10 games in 18 nights is stupid. It's caught up to them.

I actually think that the bombers would be putting up a better performance than the Lions are

Jets are a tired gassed team. Being out shot 10 3. 1 0 Canes. Helle made 4 saves prior to that one getting by him. Bench a Vet Maurice... Buff

The Jets do it to certain media guys also. Usually the same guys the bombers show the disdain for.
