What about pushing Heinola into a Pionk type of role and using Pionk as a trade chip for a guy similar to Phillipe Myers.

Thread: Chevy missed his big swing

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>Totally agree, I just don’t think it’s worth moving him. Heinola is Morrissey’s successor. Like I think in 2 years Heinola will be all around better. So I’d rather see the Jets use perfetti to get a RD. I’m sure you could find some interest from teams that can move a top 4 RHD with term. I’m sure Perfetti + Samberg and a 1st would have many teams interested.</div></div>

The thing is, Morrisey is tied up at 6.125M for 8 years, defense is gonna get really expensive if you got PIonK, Heinola (done with ELC), JoMo, and a possibly top 4 RHD

The only way this team can get a top pairing RHD is if they draft one (still don't have that player) or trade assets for one with the term (that was not supposed to quote you)

American defencemen are a lot better at being physical and compared to Finnish defencemen, Heinola won't be the guy to go into the corners with big power forwards while Makar can. That's the difference

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bunzy1034</b></div><div>Yeah and that's not happening. We may have gotten pretty much nothing at the deadline this year, but trading Heinola would probably be the dumbest thing Chevy could possibly do. He is the future #1 dman on this team.</div></div>

I hate to break it to you but he won't be that, he's gonna be similar to Pionk. In order for the jets to succeed they need a player similar to what Trouba provided but without the attitude. Heinola is too small of a player and that's gonna be a liability come playoffs

Thread: Dear jets fans

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>I would've preferred Gudbranson, Jakanpaa or Bowey rather then Benn if there were no bigger trades to be made for a better dman.

I'm usually opposed to trading 1sts for rentals but I would've been fine with the Savard trade, this year's 1st is a total crap shoot and the 3rd and 4th that TB traded are long shots to ever amount to anything anyway.

Pretty disappointed, glad we didn't trade an A-prospect away but we could've done better then Jordie Benn for the same cost or slightly more,
winter came back to Manitoba today so guess Chevy thought he should take a Dayoff and not risk coming into the office!</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MBJenucks</b></div><div>If the Jets would have added a top 4 RHD like Manson or David Savard this team would definitely have beaten the Leafs. The Jets D is very weak.

Especially when Heinola gets playing.</div></div>

Moving Heinola might be the sacrifice that has to be done to get a big RHD with term

Forum: Winnipeg JetsMon at 5:32 pm

Thread: Dear jets fans

Can anyone confidently admit they have faith in this team doing something this year? Jordie Benn is frankly not what he used to be and either it will be Poolman or Stanley out which I'm curious to see. This feels like another wasted year and its frustrating as a fan because we finally had a perfect forward group the goaltending was good and here we are in the second year of this defensive issue and there hasn't been a major upgrade on the defensive pairing. We have so many decent prospects that we could have used for a good rental and maybe that was a sacrifice this team should have made. Today was nothing but bitter sadly. All I hope for next season is that either Heinola or Pionk is moved for a big right-shot defenceman and I know fans love those two guys but something has to give, its very risky having 2 small offensive defencemen on a team when the team doesn't even have a number 1 RHD yet. It's a crappy situation for this team but something has to happen.

Thread: With this defence itll be another first round exit

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arafay</b></div><div>Enstrom and heinola are very very different players. Heinola makes a career out of “making the smart play”. Enstrom made a career out of defending against the rush, specifically odd man rushes. Heinola is an offensive d-man who’s good in his own end. Enstrom was a defensive d-man who could move the puck in the offensive zone. And heinola is an elite skater, while enstrom was merely very good. I do think that heinola can succeed in the nhl with his current build, but I’d rather have had his elc slide. To be honest, it probably still slides and Maurice won’t play him</div></div>

Hes too small of a player imo, if he was 200lbs it would be a different story

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arafay</b></div><div>I wish they would play heinola. He would easily be our best puck mover and 3rd best d-man. Also he’s like 180, which is a good weight for his size and age. However, they won’t play him because his elc can slide another year. Ughaaaaaaaa[/q

He is just finish Pionk on an ELC, he's a puck mover and that's it, if they play him in the playoffs big players like Folingio will just keep hitting the kid so he coughs up pucks. That's what teams did with Enstrom back in the day</div></div>

Thread: Heinola vs Samberg

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooney</b></div><div>I'll give you my prediction for the following years on defence:

2021-22:

Morrissey - Free Agent (looking at a big body like Savard)

Forbort - Pionk

Heinola - DeMelo

2022-23:

Morrissey - Savard

Samberg - Pionk

Heinola - DeMelo

I think Samberg goes back to the left side as he seems like a flawless choice to be paired with Pionk for all the reasons you stated above. I think Heinola will be ready before Samberg so that's why I re-signed Forbort for 1 more year.</div></div>

My only wonder is a guy like Heinola be on that bottom pairing? He seems way more fit to play the top 4 similar to Pionk role
