With wheeler out

Description
With wheeler not making the road trip, and seemingly dealing with a concussion, it looks like we’ll see Harkins back in the lineup.
Would be nice to see vesalainen play and just jump into wheelers spot but I’m okay with them giving Harkins some games.

Personally I’d rather see them make a trade for a guy like Bennett, or someone else who could help in the middle six, but it’s unlikely Chevy makes any quick deals.

Who would be your ideal target? With wheeler out indefinitely it could last longer than just this road trip, if Jets want to contend for a cup they should consider trading for a middle six forward.

Maybe there’s a bigger trade to be made for Foligno and Savard??

Play Harkins and send Vesalainen back to the Moose, he needs to be playing not watching, don't trade for any forwards and trust the kids you drafted and developed, if you're going to tout the plan then stick with it.

Not sure how expensive Bennett would be, but if the price was right, I'd do it. He can be a real prick in a playoff series. And he could be exposed to Seattle, so that would help the Jets there.
I think the Jets will not only make a move for depth forward, especially now that Wheeler is injured. Just in case another injury pops up.
I feel like Foligno would be pretty expensive. But he would be a decent addition.
Maybe Dzingel? He can fill in a top 6 role as well. Some salary would have to be retained though.
I think the Jets will make a fair amount of their trades on Monday. Prices will go down on players because there seem to be few buyers out there. I remember TDL 2019 when Chevy made like 5 trades. I think he makes 2-3. 2 defensemen and 1 forward would be my guess.

I like the sounds of that. Would be nice to see Chevy make a few moves.

I like the idea of Harkins playing, vesalainen is only brought up for injury insurance, probably because he doesn’t have to clear waivers. It is annoying that he has to sit and watch though.

I think they should make a trade for a forward. If they want a legit chance at the cup this year, now isn’t the time to play the young guys. If wheeler is out for longer than the road trip, could run into some serious issues. Could use a Sam Bennett now and in the playoffs.

You could put Stastny-Dubois-Perreault and have three Quebec-born players. smile

Unpopular take but Wheeler being out might be addition by subtraction....

Really wish they'd try Appleton in the top six instead of stonehands#9!

Ugh I know, I wish they’d just give apples a chance. He’d be awesome with Dubois.

Also agree on wheeler, sucks that he’s out, but might be okay.

At some point they need to see if there's more in Appleton's game, is he a good 3rd liner or is there maybe a top six guy in him, nows the perfect time to find out but gotta be loyal to the vets ya know!.. Lol

I get Copp and Perreault are having good years but man it'd be fun to see something different instead of what we just knew Maurice was gonna do.

Wheeler hasn't been very good and has struggled defensively, hopefully he's okay, the time off will probably be good for him.

Honestly, I think apples is a middle six guy already. So just play him at 2RW with stastny and Dubois.
