The Jets are going to have a logjam for the bottom 7 (one in the pressbox) positions and I am wondering who gets sent down.

Let's assume that Little, Wheeler, Scheif, Ehlers, Staf, and Perreault are here and don't get sent down. I am also assuming we don't draft a forward that starts next year.

Lowry, Copp, Burmi, Tanev, Thorburn, Dano, Armia, Lemieux, Connor, Peluso, Petan, De Leo, Lipon, and Kosmo are all vying for a spot.

Who stays up and who goes down....not who do you want to stay but who do you think the team elects to stay?

Thorburn - They won't send him down.

Lowry - Maurice is intent on developing him as a checking center.

Copp - I've heard Maurice say too many good things about him to believe he will be sent down.

Burmi - I don't think he goes down but I sure hope he is on the 4th line.

Armia - He showed well and if he doesn't screw up in camp, he should make the team.

Connor - This guy starts on the big team and doesn't look back.

Dano - Showed well and I think Maurice keeps him up with the big team.

So, if Thorbs sits in the pressbox our bottom six might look like...

Connor Burmi Armia

Lowry Copp Dano

Although I would much rather see both Armia and Connor in the top six. (How much better would our lineup look with Matthews in it?)

 

That leaves Tanev, Lemieux, Peluso, Petan, De Leo, Lipon, and Kosmo to play for the Moose. I'd really like to see Lemieux making the team and Burmi getting moved. With these guys going down and a new coach down on the farm, I see a winning season for them next season.

Does anyone see Chevy sending one or two of them somewhere with maybe Chicago's pick for a roster ready LHD or to move up in the draft? Burmi, Staf, Chicago's 1st and our 2nd from next year for a 6-10 pick? We could even sweeten it a bit if need be.........add De Leo or Lipon? Getting Chychrun AND Juolevi would be really nice.

I can't spell after I drink beer.

More like signing bonus. I think on July 1st of every year Ladd will get most of his money. So let's just say it's 5 million. He'd probably get 4 on July 1st. I think that's how his deal works 

Send Stuart to the Moose today and Trouba will resign tomorrow.  LOL just kidding I think?

It's not even about Stuart. It's about Trouba wanting a top 4 role and quite frankly... Buff Trouba. Enstrom Myers. Postma Morrissey is a Damn good d group. 

Trouba should be top 4. This isn't really about Stuart or Chevy for that matter. It's about Maurice.  Maurice needs to stop with his love of the veterans.  

Pavelec. Stuart.  Thorburn should not get that much time on the ice. It's Maurices biggest downfall as a coach.  Relying on 3 guys who should easily be replaced by younger talent who are a part of the future

I'd be a little worried if that's our 3rd pairing - don't get me wrong, better than Stu in the top 6, but still..

If I had to send a critique Chevy's way this offseason, it's the lack of additions to the blue line.  Strait isn't a viable option for the big club IMO.  Morrissey is unproven (so far) and Postma is a 27 yr old journeyman with all of 120 NHL games in 5 years.

Hopefully Trouba is locked up & maybe more player movement happens - until then I don't think our D is good enough to get back to the playoffs. 17/18 feels more like our year...

Whether we make the playoffs depends on three things...

Goaltending, special teams, how well the rookies (Laine, Connor, Morrissey?, Lemieux?) and younger players like Amia, Ehlers, and Dano? play.

 

Not sure Dano starts with the team as he can still be sent down.

Ehlers, Scheifele, Wheeler, Perreault, Little, Connor, Laine, Stafford, Lowry, Thorbs, Armia, Burmi and Matthias will probably start with the Jets.

ESW

Laine Little Staf

Connor Perreault Armia

Matthias Lowry Burmi

Thorbs pressbox...

unless of course they keep 2 extra forwards and only one extra D man.

or something like that.

I dont expect to make the playoffs this year. Not this young of a team. Not with LHD &, goaltending short-comings.

Postma/Morrissey? Aiiiee. Postma's got the O but lacking in D and at 26 he's only ahead of Cormier in terms of chances.

is Logan Stanley going back to junior?  Or will he stick with the Moose?

If a player has any junior eligibility left (which Stanley should), there really is no choice in the matter.  He has to go to juniors.

He's 18 years old.  It's either OHL or NHL for him.  So back to Windsor for him.  I think Windsor hosts next year's Memorial Cup so he should get some good playoff games in.

Logan probably another 2 years in j.

Yeah, Trouba's days with Stu are over.  The only issue would be if he really doesn't want to play LHD. And I doubt thats an issue.

When the Jets drafted Stanley they specifically said... 2 more years of junior then 1 year in the A at least. 

Don't think LHD is a huge issue. .

It Will come down to the young guys the special teams and goaltending 

We gotta stop agreeing like this...

Drew Willy

Ehlers Scheifele Wheeler Little Staf Perreault Laine Mathias Burmi Lowry Armia Connor Thorbs will be the starting forwards...add Copp if they keep 14.

 

Buff Trouba Myers Enstrom Chiarot Stuart Morrissey will be the starting D if they keep 4.

 

Pavs and Helle for goalies.

Dano is good enough but probably starts with the Moose.

Last couple years Jets have had 2D/1F as the extras so factor that into the thinking.

 

I think they keep 2F and 1 D this year.

Connor is really making a case for staying up with the big team as is Morrissey and Tanev.

Ehlers Scheif Wheeler Perreault Little Stafford Laine Matthias (injured) are locks to make the team.

Lowry Armia Connor Thorbs Burmi Copp will probably make the team.

Petan Dano Tanev Peluso  and the rest will probably be sent down.

Buff Enstrom Stuart Myers are locks.

Morrissey Chiarot Postma likely stay with big team.

The rest will probably go down as I think the Jets only carry 7 D men this year.

No need to rush any prospects, the only guys out of that pool that will start with the Jets are Laine and Morrissey. Everyone else can go back to the Moose or Junior, or course a trade or 2 may change things up.

Who am I rushing, Connor?

Connor will make the team. Laine will. Morrissey will. Tanev might due to his hustle and PK ability. Right now I'd have Copp also. I don't think I see a place for Thor other than the press box

If Matthias is still injured at the start of the season, I would think Tanev stays up or maybe Petan. This is based on the few games they have played and I know nothing about practices so... lots can change by the opener. Hell, Trouba might sign!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously though, the Moose should be a lot better this year. Tanev, Petan, De Leo, Dano, Peluso, Thorbs (if I had my way), H,  P, or H (one of the three goalies), Howden, Comrie and Lemieux who has had a tough break.

What happens with Phillips? ECHL? or Tulsa or wherever? If Pavs were gone, he could back up Comrie on the farm.

Lemieux has had a tough break?  How so?

Isn't he injured?????
