My Opening Night Roster

This team is very mediocre.

Good thing is that if they are struggling to make the playoffs (which I think is probable), they will have a lot of value in Hellebuyck and Scheifele as deadline rentals. That's at least 2 x 1st round picks and 2 x good prospects.

DeMelo, Dillon and Niederreiter would also net them some value at the deadline as well.

I think this team has better depth than last year (made playoffs) and looking at the Central Division, they should be a playoff team this year, most likely Wild Card. With that being said, if the Jets are in that position, they'd be smart to recoup some assets with the players you mentioned. If one of Helle/Scheif choose re-sign, I could see them trying to make some additions at the deadline. One thing Chevy has made very clear is their goal is to try and win. I do agree with you though. looking at some of the top teams in the West, this roster is a bit mid.

So you've already given up on the Perfetti at center dream I see... 😉

Two fringe centres in Perfetti and Vilardi that both have back issues. Neither will stick at C and jets will have the same hole at C they always seem to have an issue with.

I miss Bryan Little... ☹

Yeah I have doubts about Perfetti being able to handle it even without his injury troubles, he's small and slow, the IQ is there but the frame isn't, will be interesting to see how Lundell develops cause I remember saying "draft Lundell" when the Jets pick came up in 2020.

Did you hear Chipman's interview the other day?
