Goalie Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 My guess is Enstrom will be traded, he's the highest paid Jet and he just can't be making that kind of money. Enstrom will be moved this season or during the off-season, Buff will most likely be traded... Hamonic? I'm not sure a deal is there unless a 3rd team is involved, some talk LA has interest in Buff, perhaps they trade us a Muzzin type and then we move him to NYI for Hamonic but that's really the only way i see Hamonic ending up a JET... if a 3rd team is involved. Jets aren't gonna trade Trouba, doubt they will trade Myers, and Buff is probably as good as gone... You can't tie up half your capspace in D men, that's crazy talk really Scheif will get the long term deal, Trouba will get a bridge deal, Lowry? They will have a decision to make on him, Personally, I think he's probably a very good 4th liner but I'm not sure due to his lack of scoring ability if he's anything more than that.

Goalie Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Semin on Waivers... probably an upgrade on Thorburn on the third line... Not sure how much of one tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Well he's cheap and might play well with Burmi. But I dont see the Jets biting. Caps maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 People are fooled by Stempniak because he is playing first line minutes and power play minutes on NJ. He wouldn't be doing that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Maurice and company have a lot more love for Thorburn then some on this cite. Not the most athletic guy out there but I don't mind Thorburn, plays his role fairly well and chips in offensively now and then. Needs to clean up the dumb penalties but can say that for a few others as well. Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Thing is... Thorburn isn't a top 9 player... He just isn't... He'd be a good 4th liner but... the fact that he's playing on the third line tells me we have no depth what so ever or the depth that we do have, Maurice won't play them. Thorburn is not good, he's a 4th liner at best... actually he might even be the 13th forward on most times... I don't mind him, nice guy, tries hard but... he shouldn't be playing in the top 9... he's dragging burmi and ehlers down with him right now. You got 2 skill guys playing with a plug... it just doesn't work. Ducky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Thorburn is a great utility player. And valuable for that reason. When he played top six last year for Kane, he might not have made the line better, but his hustle and tenacity and effort didnt drag it down either. And thats what I see with him on the third line. He gives 100% effort. He's not a bad skater. In a perfect world, he's on the 4th line and Im fine with that. He's probably been good for Burmi and Ehlers as they got used to each other because he's a smart player who doesnt cheat and kept opposing players honest. But as far as the 3rd line adding offense, he isnt good enough. Would like to see Lowry get back to that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I'd sign Scheif to 8 years if he agreed. Would 40m get it done? Thorbs should be a 12th or 13th winger....Peluso should be brought in for about 12-15 games a season max...lack of depth is obvious this season. Ya, I think they are hoping for Myers to replace Buff's points and Trouba to step up next year. As much as I won't like to see it, I think Buff is gone. If we trade Enstrom, what is our LHD looking like? Morrissey, Chiarot, Pardy, Stuart and Harrison? ouch... We need a 1LHD or 2LHD badly. If we pried Muzzin out of LA for something/someone, I would play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Lowry is the only Jet with NO goals all year... He would not help that line at all. Lowry is what you call, a guy who got hyped by Maurice so much that he believed it, it went to his head, he thinks he is better than he is. The guy has ZERO goals.. the only Jet who has ZERO goals. I'll go this far even... I think Lowry would benefit greatly from being sent down to play with the Moose. He just doesn't look the same this year at all, something is wrong there.

Well he is playing on the 4th line now. He still has upside. And I think he could do well on the wing with Ehlers and Burmi. Burmi has been much improved since going to 3C. Basically took Lowry's job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I think Semin is done... From what i've been reading, it sounds like effort and desire isn't the issue... it's his lack of speed. Don't think he fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think last year was somewhat of a fluke for him, he played with Frolik a bit... Frolik made Lowry seem better than he is. Frolik not here anymore so Lowry don't look as good.

sweep the leg Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Any team in the league would take Thorburn on their 4th line. He's massive and a good skater. I'm not sure I'm a fan of him getting 3rd line minutes, but I do like his game. bustamente 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is also a good guy to have in the room as his teammates really like him, as funny as it sound he is an asset for this team. If the Jets had more depth he would be a fourth liner as he is everything you want in a fourth line player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Well, that's exactly it... I actually agree that he's perfect for the 4th line... But he shouldn't be playing 3rd line minutes that's for sure. This all goes back to lack of depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Missed this tidbit: Scott Campbell @NHL_Campbell I missed fans reactions to @FriedgeHNIC saying Trouba's camp and #NHLJets have amicably decided to no contract talks till summer. Awesome. This is better for Trouba, the way he was playing the first 20 games Chevy was trying to sign him to 'bad play' money. My guess is Enstrom will be traded, he's the highest paid Jet and he just can't be making that kind of money. Unless the Jets are paying for half his salary he's not being traded. He's got 1 more year left on his MOS salary. Stempniak is an upgrade over Semin... People are fooled by Stempniak because he is playing first line minutes and power play minutes on NJ. He wouldn't be doing that here. He was second to Stafford in goals for the Jets upon being traded here was he not? Chevy x'd the pooch on Stempy. Stempy > Copp this year. If we trade Enstrom, what is our LHD looking like? Taller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Stempniak is a winger.. he never played center for the Jets, he was a winger.... Of course Stempniak is better than Copp, Copp is a rookie, but a rookie who is actually playing pretty well, do people expect Copp to put up tons of points playing with Peluso and Lowry now? Seriously... His job is to play good defensively, he has been, his job is to win face offs, he has been. Copp has been good. Why compare Stempniak getting first line minutes with NJ to a 4th line center who is actually doing his job night in and night out. Stempniak signed a PTO with NJ also.. he wasn't exactly in high demand... pretty much NJ was the only team that wanted him... Funny how it was NJ when his wife and kids live in the New York area... The guy wasn't going to sign here to play 3rd or 4th line minutes and he's not a top 6 player on the JETS.... he just isn't... He probably wanted more than a 1 year deal too and no way i'd give him that... and seeing as tho he signed a PTO with NJ, every GM in the league wouldn't give him more than a 1 year deal either, hell, 29 teams wouldn't even give him that, NJ didn't even give him that.

He seems to be lacking confidence lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Let's not forget that this is Lowry's second season in the league. Many players go through the sophomore slump. Get used to it as we add a few rookies every year, you will see inconsistencies and struggles from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
