Absolutely great news for this organization, he hasn't proved anything yet in the NHL but he and Heinola are great prospects

I hope Heinola put on 20.

 

Morrissey-DeMelo

Heinola-Pionk

Samberg-Poolman

Beaulieu-Niku

Demelo UFA so not given.

Speaking of UFA...Hamonic

Samberg is 6'4".  Under 200lbs now but give him a year or two...

215 according to UofM-D stats.

Not huge, but not small either.  Excellent.  Re-signing Demelo is really important moving forward.

I think Samberg will offer more at the NHL level this year than Heinola.  Heinola should play heavy minutes and run the powerplay for the Moose next season and maybe get a few callups. Samberg is ready to contribute and add some size.  Could be 6'4 220 by the start of training camp. That's an inch taller and 17 more pounds than Trouba.  They all look small standing next to Buff.

Remind me how we have the luxury to leave Heinola with the Moose...?  He showed well as a raw rookie and then went to Finland and stalled - the trend in the NHL is to move D ahead sooner than later...  We can't install Samberg as our 2D unless you're suggesting re-signing Kulikov or Beaulieu...???

So you're like well DeMelo may or may not sign here so we shouldn't list him as a potential D... but Hamonic has family in Winnipeg so pencil him in!!

Jets have 6 guaranteed for next season. 

Morrissey, Heinola, Pionk, Samberg, Poolman, Niku, Dalhstrom. Heck 7 if Dustin cares.

UFA's 

Beaulieu(plus leader - my fave stat), DeMelo, Kulikov, Sbisa, Bitetto

I’d sign deMelo and go looking for another top 4 D.  Maybe Hamonic.  If we’re signing fringe guys then no issue with Beaulieu.  Jets probably sign bitetto.

I think Chevy targets lefites like Joel Edmundson or Brendan Dillon - bigger, D first, partner for Pionk... someone who will beat the crap out of Kane when he runs him

 

Ahh talking hockey..fing i miss this!

Ville the kid is ready offensively for the NHL but I don't think he's big enough or strong enough yet and he did stall a bit in Finland. I think he would benefit from spending significant time with the Moose playing heavy minutes and power play time. It would be good for his development.  I don't think that Ville is so good at this point that it would cost the NHL team all that much to do what is best for his long term development. I think the jets will invest in two free-agents. Hopefully DeMelo and someone else.  So are we a really going to be utilizing Ville on the 3rd pairing early on in the season when we could be giving him heavy ice time with the Moose?

I wouldn't be surprised if both Ville and the Sandman are in the A to start next season. I'd be shocked if they weren't. 

Logan Stanley.. Whens his contact up cuz theres a real chance they just let him go.

From listening to the Moose PBP guy,  it sounded like Stanley took a big step 2 seasons ago ,  but then this season (the one that just was cancelled) he regressed.   He kept talking about the organization being patient with him and willing to give him time to grow.

He's our new Patrice Cormier...  we'll see him on the Jets for a few games here and there for the next decade

Yes. Ive heard from non working for the team directly folks who say they are losing patience with him tho . Im sure they will keep him around cuZ higher pick but eventually if it aint clicking u move on. I mean lets be honest.. Moose pbp and Jets pbp guys like Munz are def company men and rightfully so. I mean lets be honest would be pretty much career suicide for them to go on basically Jets radio and go against the Jets message. 1290 sucks imo for this reason.. 2 many extremely homer "insiders". Nobody really ruffles feathers. Lawless did. 

Now tho.. Fired tv guys like toth.. Kevin O etc.. I mean not exactly riveting listening

Edited June 9, 20205 yr by Goalie

I think it's Mitch Peacock.... when the company guy isn't giving a positive endorsement.... that's not good at all.    I'd assume the Jets at this point are hoping he can at least be a decent 3rd pairing d-guy? 

Its going to be a critical year for several Jet signings. Stanley will probably get another year in the Moose-Jet jerseys, but Niku and Rosolvic have to be on the bubble. Neither have lived up to their potentials and could be trade bait.
