Thread: explaining the 2022 lineup
Perfetti wouldn't be a good fit with the two stonehands at all, I have major doubts that Perfetti makes the team this year, let him play in a lower league and put some weight on, no point in rushing him.
Vesalainen probably gets put with Lowry and Copp, don't know if that's a good fit for him either but that's likely where he ends up.
Wheel will remain on the top line, Maurice isn't changing that line unless injuries happen or they really struggle, even if they struggle Maurice will likely keep them together and make some excuses for it.

Gotta think Schmidt will be on the top pair with Morrissey and DeMelo will be paired with Stanley on the third D pair.
Stastny will be 2LW with PLD and Ehlers.
The 4th line will likely be Toninato or Gustafsson with Nash and Harkins.
It's unbelievable that Heinola appears to be the odd man out on this defense, he won't be happy going down to the Moose or being the #7 dman.

I agree with all of this. I am looking forward to Vesa with Copp and Lowry though because I think he's a great finisher and IMO that is what that line needs. Copp/Lowry to cycle and hold position and the 3rd guy to be fast and able to finish chances.

Suddenly the D is bursting with quality NHL players and blue chip prospects. Heinola likely won't be happy going back this year but he's going to have to wait for injuries to get his look and then run with it like Stanley did last year. With all the term on the guys currently in front of him he's going to have to steal a job and force the Jets to trade someone else. Nothing is going to be given.

Thread: Jets
My worry is if they can score enough, basically how much of an age regression will there be for Wheeler and Stastny and will Copp and Lowry return to their means, if that happens I question where the goals will come from. A breakout season from Vesalainen could makeup for Wheels/Stastny declines Lowry/Copp regressing to their averages and big bounce back season from Dubois would obviously help too, honestly so much will come down to Dubois having a big season. I don't think Perfetti is going to be a Jet this season and no matter how good of a 4th line the Jets have they'll always be mostly a non factor with Maurice as coach for a few different reasons.

So having said that could they win the cup, anything is possible and the Western Conference looks wide open to me, so many Western teams have big question marks surrounding them, this could be the Jets year to make some noise if some things go right.
