And so it begins...

Who’s job is it to start the game day threads?  I’m too lazy. Here’s some news.

If he clears waivers tomorrow just tells me he's a Jet tomorrow.

I'd take Morrow over Bitetto in a heartbeat.

With Morrisey back skating and Niku getting his conditioning up I don't see the need at the moment.  I also feel like Dalstrom should also factor in ahead of Bitetto. 

 

Morrissey-Niku

Heinola-Pionk

Dahlstrom-Poolman

Should be less painful

I'm liking Pionk's game so far. Looks to be a keeper.

If they get Buff back (I'm leaning towards "he retires") that looks a heck of a lot better...

Yup. He likely retires. But yeah.  

Morrissey Pionk 

Heinola Buff 

Niku Poolman. 

Solid. I have Poolman Niku together based on AHL chemistry. But won't happen and buff retires.. We trade a winger for a top 4 D.. ( it will be Wheeler in the off season) (he doesnt fit the next window with our still very young team. ) 

Wheels wants to win. I could see Florida or Tampa or even Carolina being good fits. Yup. NTC.. But.. Does he want to go through a 2 yr mini rebuild?

I don't see Wheeler going anywhere but I agree with everything else...

I don't see Heinola staying here this year, needs to get bigger, stronger. You never want to rush a young dman but he sure has shown he is very smooth and has a great hockey IQ.

Signing Samberg in the off season is a must, whatever Buff decides will effect the Jets this year and in the future, if he retires the Jets stand pat with what they have and next year they go looking for an add, if he comes back hey it's Buff and it changes everything on the back line.

If we don't have a winning record after 9 games, burning a year of Heinola's contract is insane.... no way Chevy is that desperate

We are already in a 'rebuild' year like it or not... make a Stanley Cup run in 2020 without Buff and Kuli's contracts

#NHLJets HC Paul Maurice says D Josh Morrissey is going to be held out tonight for precautionary reasons.

Sami Niku comes in for Morrissey, Dahlstrom is going to stay in according to Maurice.

#NHLJets HC Paul Maurice would not commit to saying he was putting David Gustafsson into the lineup tonight for sure, but it’s definitely a consideration. Maurice spent a few minutes at end of Monday’s skate talking to the Swedish rookie

 

For God sake, sit Letestu and put the kid in!!!

Good for Nogier to get the call.

Oh boy 

 

We would be dominating the AHL

#NHLJets D Sami Niku on dealing with a car accident and groin injury early in camp: "Yeah, **** happens and now I'm good to go." Niku said he's back to full health after suiting up in two games with #MBMoose on weekend

Whose up for a 40 yr old? Chevy put down that phone! Kidding. He still potted 16g last year.
