Oh jeez relax.  I'm sure Poolman will be on defence and Scheifele will only be back when he is fully healthy.

I'm a little worried about Stanley, but I was worried about Scheifele & Morrissey too, so I'll trust Chevy and his scouts until proven wrong.

And you do realize that the Jets are completely ok with the fact that he is years away and have said this on many occasions. 

Tucker Poolman is 24....  Stanley is 19.....     if Poolman was so good then how come he hasn't logged 5 years in the NHL by now?     
Are you really that out of touch with hockey? 

The other 2 are noticeably better. Stanley lacks hockey IQ... Thats his biggest problem. Niku and Samberg have it.. Thats not something you just learn... I dunno if Stanley gonna make it to the NHL.. If he does it will be as 3rd pair but who of morrissey niku samberg even kulikov is he gonna beat out? 
Our LHD depth isnt as awful as its made out to be now. 
Stanley is years away... Niku could get games this year if injuries... Stanley is years away.... I like Stanley but hes not on the same level as niku or samberg or nogier or poolman or really... A bunch of guys. 

Not to mention Chevy's track record of 1st round picks has been fantastic

Comparing Morrissey to Stanley is ridiculous. Morrissey has more skill in 1 hand than Stanley does his entire body. I know its hard for ppl to believe but... Stanley was a bad pick. Hes years... Years... Yearrrs away. 

If LaPo is stupid enough to leave for Montreal to work under Kavis Reed then he deserves the firing that will inevitably happen. We need a new DC. We need better linebackers. We need better receivers. We need to upgrade our backup qb positions.  The secondary needs help at a couple of positions.

Management and coaches don't get fired after an 11 win season. Period.
Coordinators may be juggled around, but that's definitely the extent.

I'm starting to think I'm fine if Lapo goes to Montreal.

It's difficult to even enjoy being a Bomber fan, to be honest. I'm tired of people asking me if I am OK after we blow yet another season. 

Scheif and Wheeler both drive the play tho.. Splitting them up is smart...

Have 2 good lines instead of 1. 
When Perreault is back
PLA. 
Its pretty simple. 

Ice conditions looked bad. Puck bouncing all night... Skilled teams like the Jets struggle with bad ice... People can talk about partying or whatever... Jets had chances... LV goalie made some nice saves and flukey ones also. 
Buff was just awful. Little looks hurt... Call up Roslovic already... 
Hendricks is 2 slow... The PK is a joke.. So passive its crazy... Dump and chase needs to stop... And its time to switch up the lines

Wheres the line blender Paul. 

I'm beginning to think that Las Vegas has such a great home record because to many teams are coming in and "Evander Kane'ing" it up  
 

And we have a problem, Mason is going to start tonight.
 
Maurice we talked about this.
 
Ever since we made the playoffs two years ago, the Jets keep getting caught in this little curse that would prevent the Jets from winning more than two games in a row and it's a streak that we don't normally break until the end of the season and the playoffs are far out of their reach

The real question... How many games until maurice takes over as the coach who has lost the most career nhl games. .
8 to go.. 

So.....Moose suck eh?

I think... In reality its been 2 games and yeah its been bad but its probably 2 early to fire Maurice. Im all for Maurice being fired.. And the entire staff but... At some point you gotta look at guys who have been here longer and say maybe they are the actual problem. I know it might be hard for ppl to accept but.. How many coaches can buff wheeler little toby go through until you realize its time to move one or more of them out first. But at the same time... Its on Maurice for allowing these guys to do whatever they want with no consequences. Buff was floating last night.. His consequence was 25 minutes of ice time. If im scheif ehlers laine jomo trouba and i see my leaders floating with no consequences then really... Why cant i? 

Should have got rid of Maurice last year....The players don't have any respect for this guy and until that happens you can expect the losses to mount....When will this club ever learn....

He was averaging .5 points per game last season before getting injured.  Fine numbers for a guy who isn't necessarily an "offensive" defenceman.  He's got a cannon from the point and he plays an aggressive big-man style game.  I expect his numbers will increase this year as well.  There's nothing to be worried about.  He will be an NHL defenceman.  Probably not a top-pairing guy any time soon but he'll be a 3rd-pairing guy for the Jets within 2 years and top-4 within 5 years.  Just has to keep working on his footwork.  And that will come in time.  Being 6'8" at 18 years old isn't easy.  
The usual criticism comes from non-athlete stats guys and older guys who had a taste of junior hockey who now think they're experts but I don't take that very seriously.

I always love it when people make these big, definitive statements. I have no idea where Stanley's going to end up, in terms of ceiling, and I'm okay with that.....I do know that D take a lot longer to develop than any other position.

He wont make the Jets ever.. Maybe a game or 2.. But not as a regular. 
 

LOL. Seriously? C'mon man. Poolman is a project, that appears to be 3rd D pair money for sure that he signed for but... I highly doubt Myers moves anytime soon...Quit over rating our prospects, Poolman is good but he's at best maybe a 2nd pairing guy in the future but in reality, hopefully an improvement on Postma. 
 
He can also play the Left side so keep that in mind. 

There is some scoring punch there, with Copp and Matthias.  Definitely far from the worst 4th line we've put on the ice.  Hendricks... meh.  There's no way Hendricks plays more than 50% of the games anyways.  It could easily turn into Petan-Copp-Matthias or something similar.
And that has nothing to do with the third line so the bottom six comment is a little 'out there'.  If the third line turns out to be Connor-Lowry-Armia, that could actually be pretty decent.
