Petan's shootout attempt sealed his fate.

TSNGO was down 1p so no tell how game went + WBB game was on.

Why would a guys shootout attempt influence Maurice's decision to keep him with the team?

No doubt. Petan and Connor should both make it cuz they are better at hockey than Tanev and Hendricks and other "bottom 6" 

 

On to cuts and the regular season, should be a couple of interesting days around the NHL and especially here with the Jets, Copps injury could change things and I think every other regular made it unscathed tonight.

yes couldn't have cared less about a Jets pre-season game on Saturday night. 

No one beats Nashville, not even close.

 

Copp skating.  So..hopefully he saves us from Third Line Tanev.

Ehh... doesn't sound like Tanev is going to be coming out of the lineup any time soon.  If Copp plays, we're more likely to see Petan or Dano take a seat.

I haven't followed the Jets closely over last season and this pre-season.   But based on the guys from 1290 they seem to really put Tanev at the bottom of the list.   Possibly lower then Hendricks.       Is he really that much of a drag?

He has very little offensive skill.  On the other hand he is still developing and his skating is excellent.  If he can become a great penalty killer, he could be a long-term, low-cost asset for the Jets.

Try the reverse angle...

The reason the "Tanev-hate" is strong is because he just doesn't provide much when he's out there.  One hell of a skater, prob one of our fastest guys.  Other than that...... ???  There's a reason he went undrafted with that skating ability. 

If the practice depth chart of this week is an indicator of things to come, most think we're hooped just because Tanev will do very little to make that 3rd line better.   Maurice has said he wants 40 goals from the 3rd line.  If Tanev plays there regularly, you'd need Lowry to hit 25+ to get to 40.  #NotGunnaHappen 

The best summation I've heard about our FW group is that we've got plenty of top 6 FWs and a bunch of 4th line options, but very little if any "true" 3rd line depth.

Yup.  The hope is Connor is a third line option or, even better, a top six option pushing Perreault to the 3rd line which makes Armia and Lowry much better.  Copp could surprise people with playing time on the 3rd line as well.  Same with Petan.  But I think maurice is willing  to sacrifice goals for defensive responsibility.  So be it...we shall see.  Its a long season.

Many teams wanted Tanev when he became available.  And he has talent.  Lets hope he surprises.  Maybe he is what Lowry and Armia need to up their totals.

He did have that great game against DET with 2 goals.

Except the league is moving away from 'true' 3rd liners... more and more teams cycling three scoring lines

If Tanev can scrape together five goals, I see no reason why Armia/Lowry can't put together an additional 35.  Both guys are capable of 15-20.

Of course, you're never going to see a line stick together for a full 82 games anyways.

I think Ray Ferraro put it best when he was a guest on 1290 the other day.  If you have two dynamite scoring lines (and the Jets do), and your goal as a team this year is to reduce goals against moreso than increasing goals for, do you lean towards a 3rd line who can be more defensively responsible or one who can be more of an offensive threat?  The answer is obvious... you go with defence-first.

Now.... can Tanev be that defensively responsible player?  I don't know the answer to that.  Maybe.

KConnor sent to Moose. Hendricks on IR.

Pavelec back up for NYR. Hutchison in minors

Every time Tanev steps on the ice, he is the hardest working player on the ice, for either team.  He is 100% maximum effort, every second of every shift.  That's why Maurice likes him.

 

The Jets were 6th best in goals scored last year.  They were 4th worst in goals against.  Whomever ends up on the bottom two lines, they first and foremost cannot be a defensive liability.
