And then you're over the cap next year if you're the Pens...

Not after they trade MAF at the deadline and they have to trade him.

Is it me or have the Jets been playing much better defensively since Enstrom has been out of the lineup?

Watching Morrissey and Trouba actually move players out of the slot is enjoyable.

Been playing better since they up'd the anger.

Playing better since they stopped with the Pavs nonsense.

Playing better since Helle stopped playing bad.

Those 2 games 2.5 months ago? 

They Are playing better because they are using their size and speed better

2.5 months ago? More like a little more then a month ago when he gave up 3 goals in the 1st period Jan 11th and 13th. The reason why Pav was brought up.

Garret Hohl over at Jets Nation was pondering the same thing.  The fancy stats say that it is not the case, but I prefer to rely on the eye test and anecdotal evidence.

A very strange argument...  he cites WAR from 2011-2016 - which shows Enstrom's decline from top pairing to mid-pairing

Then, almost as an afterthought, acknowledges that Enstrom's WAR numbers this season are that of a #4-#5 defender...

Enstrom 'was' under-rated and good but this year and last year, he's being put in situations that he can't handle.

Enstroms days as a top 4 d-man are fading but as a 5-6 he is more than capable for a few more years.

They've been playing better IMHO because they've been hitting again.

With bonus points to a better Helle.

Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice confirmed goalie Ondrej Pavelec underwent a scope on his knee Monday.

Maurice added that recovery time for this type of procedure is usually 2-3 weeks for a player but could be longer for a goalie.

 

Goalie won the Pavelec lottery with this news.

 

................and Pavelecs career as a Jet dies with a whimper.

and Toby is essentially done for the season

 

 

And Trouba is injured likely because of the fight last night, 

 

which kind of begs the question that I won't turn into a thread but.....is Trouba becoming a goon?

it just shows how stupid fighting is in the first place.  In two games our "fighter" fought a fight that meant nothing and our captain and our best D man fought.

Moose be out of their slump now.

The time of year when guys with potentially playable injuries get shut down for surgery and rehab so they can be ready for next season. 

Paul Maurice said a decision would be made about whether surgery is required for Paul Postma (lower body) in the next few days.

Oh what the hell Paul, give him the surgery!
