Idk man, with Perfetti in the NHL and Lucius soon to be, do you really want to lock Trocheck for that 2C for years?
Absolutely, Wheeler is in decline and both of those two youngsters are inexperienced and who knows if they'll be able to handle the 2C job or given this organization's history with young forwards will they even be played at center?!.. lol
I can see it already, both Perfetti and Lucius will be put on the wings and the talk in Jetsland will be the need for more centers in the organization.. haha 😄... I was firmly in the leave Perfetti in the AHL playing center and slide his ELC, bring him up for a few games at the end of the season, with how everything has played out and the talk of Scheifele possibly being moved I think my take was right, would be in a way better position for next season if Perfetti had spent this entire season in the AHL playing center and going on a Calder Cup run. Oh well, just another misplay by Chevy and his crew.
Also I don't necessarily mean Trocheck specifically but before this season started I was saying the Jets absolutely needed at least one more top or middle 6 forward if they really wanted to compete and with Wheeler getting another year older, Stastny a UFA and Copp gone they're still going to need at least one.
Really wish they'd made the Buchnevich trade and only acquired one dman instead of two, would be in a way better position now if they had.
Injuries happen and a good team needs depth to survive, the Jets depth just doesn't measure up compared to other teams.
I can't get over how bad the Jets secondary scoring is compared to good teams, adding a Trocheck type would help in fixing that which if they want to compete absolutely needs to happen.
So yeah I think even with Perfetti and possibly Lucius in the fold I do think the Jets need to add at least one Trocheck type in the offseason and if it's a guy who can play center or wing that'd be even better, sorry for the long winded response.. 🤣
