Opening Night Prediction

It's a difficult choice between Heinola and Capobianco. I was only able to watch the game on Monday, but Capo looked like he's going to get plucked if he goes on waivers. He's the ideal 7th Dman. Able to sit in the press box for months and then come in and play a solid game. I suppose it depends on who you want to keep in the future really, and that is obviously Heinola. And I know that Heinola wants to play in the NHL, but it's probably still better for him (and the Jets) long term to play a full season in the A than just a handful with the Jets.

I really hope Jets management waive Stanley though. You can't coach height, but you can't coach Stanley either. He is also playing like he wants to be waived, which makes sense considering he wants a bigger opportunity that he won't get in Winnipeg. Out of the 4 of them, Stanley is the only one who clearly shouldn't be on the roster.

Well said. and to be honest I agree 100% with you regarding Capo. I was at the game Monday and he looked good, an ideal 7th D-man. The only reason why I chose to keep Heinola up is if he gets sent to the AHL, I think that will solidify the end of his time with the Jets (trade request). He believes he's an NHL player (as do I) and I really don't think another year spent dominating the AHL makes much sense in his case. We shall see though, I really hope they don't waive Chisholm because I guarantee he gets claimed (like Kovacevic did last year).
