Frolik is not the reason we aren't good. It's never one player or one reason. People can go on about the goalies, Stuart, Chiarot Frolik Stempniak whoever. .. it is all irrelevant. This team just isn't good enough. The core group just can't get it done. I've accepted it. Ladd Buff Toby... little even and I like him but reality on other teams these guys aren't the "stars" they are just depth role players. Wheeler is the only guy who isn't
I'll be honest here. I hope Nashville and Dallas woop the Jets really good so they are forces to make changes and not irrelevant ones like goaltending or 3rd pair D.... real legit changes to the core of this team which just isn't good enough. Ladd. Buff. Toby. Stuart. Stafford can go too if someone wants him. Myers too. Ya they aren't core guys but... this team needs lots of change. Hope for Auston Matthews too.
Jets are 1 point up on Philly and Toronto and both have 2 games in hand on the Jets. McDavid coming back soon. Not 2 long until jets are 29th in the league. It's gonna happen. No lipstick on this pig. This team is bad.... really bad actually and it's not 1 player or 2 or rookies... it's pretty much all of them. Wheeler Little Scheif Perreault are the only somewhat consistent players.
Ladd plated with Lowry. Don't think he was with little and wheeler except on the pp. Armia played with little and wheeler tho. Might be wrong and if I am... gotta start to question the coaching decisions 2
Can't even blame hutch. Jets are a dumpster fire. Keep taking penalties. Maurice can keep rolling his eyes. But time for change. Jets just can't look good 2 games In a row and no I don't mean a coaching change. I mean some players need to go.
Chiarot is terrible. Hutch has been ok but one goal was soft, one was on the PK so... Can't blame him much for that one altho he should have held on to the puck instead of trying to clear it.
Jets just look bad, they look slow, they look like quite frankly, they looked like they played last night.
That Chiarot Stuart pairing is just, i dunno, is it the worst d pair in the league? If not, it's top 5 worst for sure.
Gonna add tho, Jets look like they are skating in quick sand. Just look slow.
Nice non call on the slash on Burmi by Perry. You know the Jets would be in the box for that one.
Kane never did come out publicly and say he wanted a trade tho. That's the difference here. For as much as a goof Kane was, he never actually came out and said he wanted to be traded, Not until after he was traded.
wow. Hutch. We are watching the end of his career in Winnipeg. Just bad goal-tending here.
2 weak weak goals. Could hear someone yell hang on to it and then he shot it away. Hutch is done.
Interesting predictions by tait... Thinks the Jets will fall off a bit the next while, think they will trade both Buff and Ladd for picks and prospects... Think they will take Matthew Tkachuk with their high pick in the draft and think on July 1st, the Jets will actually sign Buff as a UFA.
The other guy was talking about Scheif and the RFA's... Thinks Scheif signs 8 years 40 million,Think Trouba goes the PK Subban route and goes bridge deal and puts up big points with more minutes and then cashes in on his next deal with the Jets, not sure if it will be a 1 or 2 year bridge deal... not sure i agree with Trouba ever being as good as PK but interesting none the less, Thinks all the other RFA's will be easy to sign... Hutch Lowry Armia.
Totally different scenario. Drouin went public with his trade request. That's the part that lowers his value. TBH I don't even want Drouin. He's another small guy... Jets don't really need him even. Someone will overpay for him. I hope it's not Chevy
And I wouldn't trade Ladd or Buff straight up for Drouin. His value is very low. Sorry but publicly announcing you want a trade = zero to no value at all. He's a prospect with 6 goals in 89 games.... attitude issues apparently. I don't give up much. Maybe Stuart and a 3rd at most. Drouin won't get much back
