Game one of the rookie showcase.......

 

Decided to watch...

Copp-Lowry-Wheeler line would be a pretty amazing 2nd line...

did Perrault shave again?

I don’t think Lowry has enough skill to play on the 2nd line.

Connor-Scheif-Laine

Copp-Lowry-Wheeler

Perrault-Little-Ehlers

Those are three good lines...  Lowry is an extremely under-rated player

This Russian guy looks like he's skating in molasses...  how he got a shot on the first line is baffling

Chibsov has been very good. Lol top line in preseason? 

Hes been noticeable tho. Lowry isn't exactly quick either. 

Niku Josh Heinola Poolman all standing out also. 

Honestly.. Chibsov has prob been our most noticeable forward. 

Or Perreault for other reasons tho.. Penalty box

and Brossy let one in

Morrissey scores (maybe I should just reserve that More More More vid for whenever Morrissey scores, but that might be overkill)

Suess scores. man I would hate to be whoever decides who gets sent to the moose

Man, could Heinola make the team...?

I like Lowry, but he is limited in skill.  Good faceoff guy and solid grinder/cylcler.  Maybe it would work.... What the hell do I know?  I don’t want Little there and Maurice doesn’t seem to want to let Roslovic or Copp play centre, so....

I’d like to see copp get a real look at 2C

Lowry as second line centre with Copp as his wing? So, Wheeler has to carry that entire line? 

But then we have our best zone entry winger on the third line, playing in his own defensive zone all night?

Your view of lines is a bit out-dated...

Many teams carry three balanced scoring lines 

Wheeler will not be 'carrying' Copp and Lowry

He could. He is signed to an ELC. So yes he could. Maybe in the A to start tho.

He signed an ELC a month ago. 

Heinola deserves a year to develop - ridiculous to rush him... and he’s not ready

chibisov could be a good fourth liner - would way rather see spacek and Luoto getting a chance with Scheifele

vesa should have come to the A last year - he’s terrible so far - looks lost

mo-Niku 

kulikov-pionk 

beaulieu-Poolman 

thats our D right now...

I thought Niku was smaller. Pleasantly surprised.

Take Poolman out of the equation and we might have the smallest D in league. Speaking of Poolman, he's made the team.

Now as to who our 7th dman is... 🤔 It might be someone on this team or the next waivered dman. Not sure.

The Jets could use a veteran RD, IMO, even if Byfuglien were to stick around. Dan Girardi comes to mind.

Was it Niku they said gained almost 15 lbs since last season?  Should come in handy!

Niku is actually taller than Morrissey so yeah.. Not sure where this hes small stuff came from. 

 

As for Heinola.. Hes our 2nd best LHD RIGHT now.

Yeah calm down...

Beaulieu and Kulikov are still better - Kuli played well last night

I will agree that Heinola is our best LHD prospect - but he needs a year to develop, will get out muscled badly in the NHL

Our cusp guys in that last game are Heinola, Spacek, Chibisov

Griffiths, Vesa did not impress at all

GAME DAY: Jets vs Blues (Preseason Game #3)

7:00 pm CT - TV: TSN 3; Radio: TSN 1290

Niku breaking out year? If so, it would be great timing all things considered. .
