Thread: Winnipeg Jets signed Andrew Copp (1 Year / $3,640,000 AAV)

The leafs and Oilers are both have better top end players but the Jets are the deepest and the best goalie so I'm tempted to agree.

I think the key questions for the team are:

1) centres. Part 1 Can PLD be a game changer centre as he has been for months at a time in his career but not yet consistently?

2) centres part 2. How much more does Stastny have left in the tank? The Stastny of the last two years is a good 3 C and a passable if necessary 2c. But he has shown clear decline from his best days in his early to mid 20s. How much more does he have in the tank? And is he going to have to play 2c because PLD isn't doing it?

3) their D. On paper I like it. They are doing a better job of what the leafs (my team) are trying to do, which is build a deep core of good players, if no superstars. Morrissey is a first pairing defenseman, but no superstar and Pionk seems to be hitting stride at similar. They have about 4-5 more guys who are #2-5D. All that being said I liked the sound of Schmidt in Vancouver and other D that haven't panned out. They've made a lot of changes. It needs to prove it works on the ice not just on paper

Otherwise Scheifele is grossly underrated league wide. Their wingers may be best in the league. And they have a world class goalie.
