Jee-zus... What just happened in this thread?

It's five games in, folks... That's the only small sample size worth discussing. And the team has three wins.

Suggesting trades after a small sample size deserves ripping...  I chuckled about it and you lost your mind...

But yes, I'm sure Chevy will pull off three blockbuster trades to resolve our defensive issues ha.

Incorrect.  I made a post and you, fresh off of eating a bowl of piss-laden cornflakes apparently, went nuts.  I dont know why.  But here's some free advice, this is a hockey forum and part of the fun of hockey forums is people make crazy trade suggestions all the time.  You can tell the difference between a very serious suggestion and a crazy one, in this case, by the preceding words "crazy trade suggestion".  

You might have a point if trade discussions were wildly unusual at this point in the season.  But they arent.  So chill out.

You're under no obligation to reply or exchange messages if you dislike the content and dont want to discuss.  Just ignore.  Its easy.

I might be less patient today because I've seen it far too many times with certain people jumping all over posters (some posters have been really beat up).  This is a fan forum.  Chill out.  Cause if you want to go nuts over a hockey post, Ill give as good as I get.  And we can throw it around all day until Rich has to come in and clean it up and chastise us both. 

How 'bout we save him the effort?  Im pretty sure the moderators will agree my post did not deserve a "ripping".  If you want to rip, dont be sensitive when you get it back.

Last years playoffs really jaded some thinking that the wins would come easily this year, last years results mean nothing this year, way to early to jump off the ledge.

People want a winner.  Same thing happened last year.  We were all ready to fire Maurice after the first game.

I just hope people remember, this is a discussion forum.  Ill quote The Walking Dead  "You're a good person.  Good people can disagree."   We've seen people actually bullied into not posting here.  People are free to think the sky is falling while others are free to plan the parade.  

Unlike what's going on here :), this specific game was rare in there were no real skirmishes or big hits to be seen other than Ferland briefly pushing a jet from behind and a Morrisey hip check along the boards. Other than that a very clean game with little violence. Just a random observation of no value other than the game can be entertaining with only speed and skill.

3) Yes we are missing Toby because we're missing that smart first pass out of the D zone.  Since you agree Niku might work witb Buff, you're actually agreeing with me.

 

Yes we are missing him not going in the corner and just conceding the puck to the other team.  That I don't miss at all.

Delete this post please

Bottom line.. He was a top 4 legit top 4 D. Chiarot and Morrow are not. Are we missing him? I dunno.. Personally i think he'd likely be on IR right now as injuries started adding up so.. No maybe we dont but in terms of being better than Chiarot and Morrow.. Yeah.. Hes missed.

he's so good that no NHL team signed him and now he's playing in a second-tier league in Sweden.

If you knew the reason why he decided to go home maybe you wouldn't be so dickish.

Oh good grief, what a silly comment.  "Dickish" - what nonsense.  Tell us all oh great one why Toby went home.  It doesn't change the fact that he's just not that good., and the Jets are better off.

OK ****, thanks for the update ****.   I didn't realize you were his best bud in the whole world ****.  And we are better off cuz he isn't a very good player, and with Chiarot and Morrow we at least have some physicality on the ice ****.

I think if you asked 1000 hockey experts, the vast majority would say Toby is better than Chiarot and Morrow, both of whom played a lot less pro games then Toby.  The argument that no NHL team wanted Toby when the argument is him vs those guys doest hold a lot of water since the only team that wanted them seems to be the Jets.  

I like both guys, but we're missing Toby's skill set more than we're benefiting from Chairot's and Morrow.  Im not even criticizing the decision to walk away from Toby...there is age, money, injuries etc that play a part.  But we're missing his skillset right now.  Perhaps Niku comes in and provides that same skill set in a younger, cheaper, faster package.  Then it's moot.

I recall reading Toby had interest from other teams but chose to go home.  Who knows.

And maybe this is true, and good on him if he went home because his wife has cancer.  He probably can play a lot longer in Sweden without getting injured, and that makes a ton of sense.  I do think Niku is the future, and it was time to get a spot for him open on the team.

Toby was very good defensively tho. Niku isnt that guy. Niku could be a Finnish Erik Karlsson tho. Really good Offensively strong D man and deadly in OT cuz kid can skate. 

Stanley in a couple years or Dylan Samberg could be. But they are a few years away still. 

 

Chia and Morrow aren't a good enough 2 3 LHD. 

Niku Chiarot is potentially a better than avg 2 3 tho. 

Chiarot would be a fine 3 lhd and Morrow is ideally depth. 

Myers Chiarot is a bad pair tho. Poolman Chiarot? I dunno. Avg 3rd pair in todays NHL. 

Meyers has been the real story thus far, he and Morrow both -3, worst among D on the club.
