Thread: The best jets lineup youll see Youre welcome
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jetsrule999999</b></div><div>Hellebuyck has struggled since the Vegas series two years ago when we were a better team and got out goaltended. Also Blake wheeler gets paid to play this game and if that’s where he needs to play to improve this team I’m sure he would not have an issue with that.
Remember Maurice is very stubborn and will never let this happen but he should it would make us a much more difficult team to play against</div></div>

Sure Wheeler might not have an issue with playing centre, but would he be more effective at centre than on the wing? I don't think so. We should play to our strengths, which involves playing Wheeler on the wing. Little can still be a fine 2C if given the right wingers (Connor and Wheeler, not Laine)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jetsrule999999</b></div><div>You’re missing the point that we don’t have a second line center right now that has been our biggest issue for 3 years. Remember how good our team was when we had stastny?
Blake wheeler is the only suitable option we have on this team I’ve also looked at his stats while playing center and he’s very solid and has no issues taking care of the extra defensive responsibility. He is a very smart hockey player and I don’t think you give him enough credit.</div></div>

Yes, we do have a 2nd line centre and his name is Bryan Little. The issue is not Little, and its never been Little. It's the wingers that Maurice has given him. Laine has been attached to Little's hip for the past 2 years, and they have absolutely no chemistry. But it's not Little's fault since Laine is quite poor 5on5. If they just gave him Wheeler as his RW like before, we should have a nice balanced top-six with ESL and CLW.
