Lemieux Lowry Copp/Dano would be good 2. Add some grit with lemieux. 

I'm thinking Matthias-Lowry-Armia is probably going to happen again, as long as Matthias is healthy to start camp.

Maurice is old school and likes a tough guy or intimidater in the line up. They love lemieux. Wouldnt shock me to see matthias pressboxed as hes pretty much a trade candidate. 

Jets arent done yet tho. Wonder how much rope maurice gets this season... Id suspect american thanksgiving will be an indication. Jets in a playoff spot? He stays.. They arent? Hes done. Chevy had a darn good off season so far.. Now its up to Maurice. Not sure if hes the right guy... 

Its definitely interesting that Maurice has not been extended yet.

Matthias is not a trade candidate. They've been adding depth and he's exactly the type of depth they need. Only way he's traded is if they have someone who is much better but that can sit in the pressbox for stretches. I don't see that on the team.

I tend to agree.  A good player that adds depth.  Doesnt have to play every game.  Doesnt cost a lot.  We'll see where we are next summer when his contract expires and hopefully one of the kids can take his spot.

This is a make-or-break year.  Maurice has all the players he needs to make the playoffs.  The talent is undeniably there.  If there is no playoff appearance, Maurice is gone.  If there is a slow start, Maurice is gone.  He hasn't earned an extension but he can this year.  I hope they wait.

Wasnt Chevy openly talking about extending him near the end of last season?  I just find it odd that they'd tell Maurice to "prove" himself.

I think they will announce an extension before the season.

The risk/reward rests entirely with the organization. If the Jets do well, it may cost a bit more to keep PoMo but if they don't they're not paying beyond this year.

I hope they wait too.

Lots of chatter that its the Oilers.

The Los Angeles Kings announced they have added former NHLer Pierre Turgeon to their coaching staff specifically in the role of "Offensive Coordinator".

For the first time in LA Kings history, there will be one coach dedicated to an "Offensive Coordinator" role.https://t.co/6CUVkWAI4w

— #LAKings (@LAKings) July 10, 2017

"We are thrilled to bring Pierre Turgeon aboard to join John Stevens and our coaching staff. For the first time in LA Kings history we will have one coach strictly dedicated to an 'Offensive Coordinator' role," Kings President Luc Robitaille said in a statement released by the Kings.

 

Im sure the LA Kings will revolutionize the NHL.

LA should have the Kings playing football and the Rams playing hockey.  May work out better for them in 2017/18.

I would have hoped we'd have more talent than Tanev to sit in the press box... like Matthias or Sgarbossa...
