Goalie

This Is a young team with a bright future. Why not let the younger goalies grow with the team. Helle has nothing more to prove in the AHL.

Lol. Hutch has better career nhl numbers than pav does. It's crazy how much some people read in to pre season games. Hutch was fine. It's going to be Hutch and Helle this year. Pav will be traded or waived. It's happening. You know what you take from these games? Nothing really. Dano and Morrissey stood out tho. Solid games from both. Tanev LowryCopp Dano 4th line looks good to me. I think Burmistrov Thorburn and Chiarot really struggled tonight tho and have all preseason. To get back to the goalies tho... Maurice has said From day 1... 1 game doesn't matter... Pav getting a shutout against the echl version of Calgary doesn't matter. Helle letting in 5 vs nhl team pretty much Edmonton doesn't matter. Same thing with Hutch tonight. He's said they will look at their overall body of work... and if you actually do that.... Hutch has better career numbers than pav and so does helle. Pav has no future here. None zilch zero Nadda. He done. Hutch Helle will be the goalies to start the year.

D needs to step up. And Did. Moe is our MVP

St Louis Chicago... they are both in the Central division. If Yak finds his game this is a massive steal for St Louis.

Dressler is way better than Denmark. It's not close. Dressler Denmark Smith Gurley Kohlert is a good group. Adams probably replaces Denmark when he's healthy

Who cares. It's one year plus if they send him down they actually get 950000 dollars of cap relief. Who cares. It's the smart thing to do. You can't develope comrie with helle around also. It's 1 year. Anaheim is more of a budget team than the Jets and they sent Stoner to the A. He makes what? 3.5 million. Pavelec on the Moose makes the most sense moving forward.

No. We need a good d man. Whether he be good offensively or defensively is irrelevant. Krug doesn't interest me at all tho. Plus the Krug stuff started with Eklund so that guarantees it doesn't happen

Ehlers Scheif Wheeler Laine Perreault Armia Connor Little Stafford Tanev Burmi Dano Buff Enstrom Myers Morrissey Postma Stuart Helle Hutch. That's my final roster for Game 1. Thor and Lowry upstairs with Chiarot Strait Peluso Petan De Leo Copp Moose bound. Pavelec on waivers. Lemieux and Mathias week to week on IR. Melchiori Moose bound also. I just get the feeling Pavelec is gonna be waived for some reason. I just sense some changes coming and I think they will move on from Pavelec seeing as how he doesn't have a future here

Word is they are trying Perreault with Laine and Armia at practice today.

Tanev Copp Armia and Morrissey and Postma probably can disagree. Even Connor and Perreault were decent defensively. It really was Chiarot and Myers who were garbage along with Burmi and thorburn

Guy on other site was at the game and said Laine seems to be focusing more on his defensive responsibilities right now. I know people think Laine is just some ovechkin like goal scorer but he's not... he's actually way more defensively responsible than ppl give him credit for. He's a very good 2 way player

Here's how I have our D pairings Buff Toby Myers Morrissey Postma Stuart Not sure which 1 of melchiori strait or Chiarot sticks as the 7th D. I don't think they keep 8 D. Because bottom line.... I don't think its worth it.

How do you send Tanev down when he's actually earned a spot. I don't think you can. I think its possible Burmistrov is waived to the moose

Laine wasn't great but he certainly wasn't awful. Connor was pretty good. Tanev should I repeat should make the team. You know what. .. can talk about Laine Connor JoMo Helle all we want but they are young guys who will have ups and downs. The guys I thought stood out today and not in a good way were thorburn (he is just 2 slow to keep up ) Chiarot (been pretty awful all pre season) Myers (I think playing with Chiarot played a role in that, myers Chiarot is just a bad pairing) and Burmistrov (if you want a play to die give it to burmi ) these are the guys we should be concerned about but the kids like helle (Maurice even said he was hung out to dry) JoMo Connor Laine and even Tanev were all pretty good actually.... they weren't bad... and they weren't awful like the guys I mentioned who are vets

Connor was pretty solid. 2 short handed goals and 2 power play goals against helle tonight. He was solid but seriously hung out to dry big time. It's pretty pathetic when the play of Chiarot and Myers makes me think maybe Stuart isn't so bad after all. Buff wasn't good. Morrissey was. Postma was. Chiarot was awful.

The D is going to be a very big problem this season. Wonder if Myers was traded if Trouba would sign cuz myers has been awful.

Anyone blaming Hellebyuck for any of these goals need to recognize that our D outside of Buff and Morrissey are hanging him out to dry. Chiarot has been directly responsible for 2 goals. Myers for another.

Morrissey is more nhl ready than Chiarot melchiori strait and Stuart. I think he makes the team. If he doesn't. .. the decision making process needs to be questioned. Enstrom right now is our only legit nhl calibre lhd. Morrissey has looked the next best. If they take Chiarot or Melchiori or Strait over Morrissey.... I don't know what to say then.

Melchiori is an interesting player. I went to several moose games last year and he was a total dumpster fire on the ice every time. Only Kostalek and MacWilliam were worse. Then he gets called up to the Jets and the guy that looked like he wasn't even AHL calibre... well he disappeared and a capable 3rd pairing guy showed up. Odd case really. He can't really make a pass and can't really clear the zone butI don't think he's as awful as some think. I think Morrissey is much better... he can pass and clear the zone... that's important and I think Morrissey Buff would be a great pairing. I would then think myers enstrom makes the most sense with Postma and Stuart/Melchiori. I actually have been impressed with Melchiori more than Chiarot and Strait this pre season. I think he is also 3rd pairing at best.

Enstrom Morrissey are the only 2 lhd that are better than Stu. Chiarot has looked like crap

Thorburn is in the last year of his contract.... if they sign him to a new deal... I will lose some faith in Chevy. I don't think they will tho. I hope they don't. Stu? I get it... he's actually a pretty decent option as a 3rd pairing LHD but Thorburn? Regardless of being well liked... there's a bunch more players in the system who are just better at hockey. And that's all that matters. Thorburn is a nice guy... well liked for sure.... but I find it funny that people on what is basically a blue bomber site who rip on guys like Greg Peach or whoever else... would actually defend guys like thorburn and Stuart when really... they are the Greg Peach of the Jets. There are better options at forward than thorburn

It really means very little. Morrissey was also paired with Buff and Myers at practice today. But wow. If that is what they are thinking.... Lowry over Copp? Thorburn actually on the starting roster? Stu and Chiarot over Morrissey? And with the 1st overall pick in the 2017 draft the Winnipeg Jets select from The WHL Brandon Wheat Kings... Nolan Patrick

It's not about the top 6 anymore. Now a days you should be able to have at least 3 if not 4 lines that can score. Our top 3 LW this year will be 20 18 and 19 years old. Jets are young and being young means mistakes will happen. This is probably more of a building year than it is a competing for playoffs year. Few weeks ago I think @FrostyWinnipeg said LHD will be a problem and I disagreed with that but.... I think at this point... it is a problem. Without Trouba on the left.... yup... Enstrom Morrissey Stuart Chiarot. What happens if enstrom and Morrissey get injured. Trouble for sure. Big trouble

Sources say Hazelton has signed with the Eskimos

I'm sorry but Laine has been fine. He's adjusting to the north American rinks and is showing that he is not just some goal score . He's showing that he can play a defensively responsible game. Just saying but Kichton was sent down... put on waivers.... guess 1 game means nothing. Paul Maurice even says to not read in to pre season games that much.
