Laine-Scheif-Wheeler

Perrault-Little-Ehlers

Connor-Roslovic-Vesalainen

Copp-Lowry-Tanev

Trouba-Morrissey

Kulikov-Buff

Niku-Myers

Perreault Little Ehlers was pretty good together but u gotta keep Little away from Laine for sure.

Agreed - and Laine needs to be on the top line...

Just makes sense to have Connor-Roslo as the 3rd line

Not sure who's on the right side other than Vesalainen though...  Perrault could be an option if you did Little-Lowry-Ehlers

Can not see Laine/Ehlers playing their off-wings. Would be un-Maurice like.

Tanev being only exception i can think off outside of Laine on the PP.

Laine needs to play LW for his shot...  this works perfectly with Scheif Wheeler...?

Why not? Maurice has had them both playing their not preferred wing now for 2 and 3 seasons

C'mon Frosty.. If you watched any games the last 3 years you'd know this.

Agreed. 

Laine Scheif Wheeler

Perreault Little Ehlers 

Connor Roslo Vesa (Petan Dano) 

Tanev Lowry Copp ( that line likely doesn't change) 

Get the idea of 1st 2nd 3rd 4th lines out of the way.. Its archaic.. 3 scoring lines plus elite shutdown line with TLC

What's the chances of Vesalainen cracking the lineup for this year I wonder.

For a few games to start likely quite high. The entire season? Id guess 50 50.

Whose not playing their proper wing?

Laine and Ehlers.

Ehlers shoots left he's on LW

Laine shoots right he's on RW cept for PP.

Ehlers prefers the RW. 

Laine prefers LW

No way Connor is 3rd line.

Connor Scheif Wheels

Laine Little Ehlers

Then the rest. Little and Perrault may have trouble staying off the 4th line this year. 

Connor-Roslo-Little could be a pretty neat line...

Except its not the 3rd line.. Its another scoring line. Connor and Roslo have ridiculous on ice chemistry. 

Why have Connor with Scheif and Wheeler when u can have Laine? 

Putting Ehlers and Laine with Little is dumb. It dont work.

B/c we know Connor is good for 30+ goals with them and Laine was fine without them.

But what if connor can put up 30 plus with Little or Roslo? What if Laine can put up 50 plus with Scheif and Wheeler?

That would be great. I'm not sure I see Connor putting up 30+ this year if he's not on that line though.

Conflicting reports.  Its true he got a clause where he can return to Europe rather than play for the Moose but I've seen people say in interviews Vesa has said he is excited to turn pro whether its the Jets or the Moose.  Maybe it was something his agent fought for so if he was a bubble guy, Jets would be more likely to keep him up.  Hopefully he's that damn good.

Hope so because I took him in my amateur draft, him and Niku. Am I the only one who plays hockey pools and takes too many Jets because of my love for them.

He likely plays a couple Jets games but sounds like he is gonna stay in Winnipeg either way. Moose

Niku likely Moose too just cuz once 44 signs (soon) they have 8 NHL D on 1 way deals. Niku is on elc 2 way still.

Vesa Petan Dano Lemieux all in group A aka the Jets group for Camp.

Plus with Maurice saying Myers will play LHD you've got a top 4 of Josh, Trouba, Buff, Myers.   He also said he likes Kulikov on his off side and Morrow and Chiarot can both play both sides. 

Little penciled in a 2C... it will probably be something like...

Connor-Scheif-Wheeler

Laine-Little-Ehlers

Perrault-Lowry-Roslo

Dano-Copp-Tanev

Morrissey-Trouba

Myers-Buff

Kulikov-Chiarot

Would Morrissey and agent sit if they don't get what they want? It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
