Thread: I hope one of the RFAs sign so the dominoes start to fall
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jamiepo</b></div><div>We will have to wait for training camp. RFA’s are waiting on marner. When he doesn’t report to training camp we will have to see if any of the rest are willing to hold out.</div></div>

I do believe in the domino effect and I think Marner is deffinetly the one to watch, but I think its almost a two tier market. The top being Rantanen, Marner, Point and then the second being Tkachuk, Connor, Laine , Boeser and Konecny.

I think we are likely to see contracts follow for those who are closer to a comparable for the player who signs first. So if Marner was to sign, I believe that we would see Rantanen and Point follow and then have some sort of traction begin on the secondary RFA tier situations, but I do not think that makes the contracts fall immediately or potentially close after.

But time will tell I guess.

Keep in mind that I only mentioned the high end forward RFA's

Thread: Trade for Jesse Pulj
As a Jets fan this is pretty reasonable in my eyes. Love Perreault but we simply cannot afford his cap hit next year, we can definitely sign Jesse to a team friendly contract and I would be okay with giving up a second round pick in 2021 if he can find his game and start producing top 6 points for us.

I think the conditional pick is actually extremely likely in almost any case as a team will need to develop him under their system from square one and build his game which will take a year or two, and then if he fits the bill and is productive a team would not mind paying the conditional. That is unless a team is willing to give up a first or good prospect, which I think is too high of a gamble and unlikely.

On Edmonton's side they are getting a versatile player who can play and produce anywhere throughout their lineup and if they end up with a second round pick, come out alright.

I like the gamble!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>I like the potential of the 2nd line. Wheeler can drive that line as well as fill in defensively at C or for FO's
I'd like to see an "all vet" 3rd or 4th line to use in shutdown situations like a
Matty P-Lowry-Little
leaving Copp to C Veslainen and Appleton</div></div>

I think we may see something like this closer to the second half of the season if Roslo can take the next step, but I do agree that Wheeler could be a key factor in Roslovic finding his game as the 2C. Copp centering Vesa and Appleton would actually be a great line in my opinion, that may help Copp begin to flourish as a C which would be key for us.

We could potentially come out of next season with great in house positional depth at C if all pans out.

Thread: How about this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>partially true, but he's 21. Im a jets fan and ticket holder and there are stretches when he is dominant on the boards and everything seems to go in. He started becoming a little more physical as well. To be honest he scares me a little when it comes to his contract and what he could be.</div></div>

Huge Jets fan here, wish I could make it to more games but sadly I am not local but I catch most of the games. I totally agree and if you watch his progress from last season you would see that when he was not scoring he worked on other areas of his game and he was miles better than the previous year in the other areas. Obviously there is still room for improvement on the defensive side but you can teach that. What you can't teach and what people forget most of the time is that he is also an excellent passer and a pure goal scorer, he knows they will come as long as he is doing the right things.

From a contract point of view it scares me as well with what he can demand on his second contract because if he refines the other aspects of his game, he will be in line for a huge pay day.

Thread: WINNIPEG ROSTER
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>masterjuddi</b></div><div>Maybe the jets can just throw the line of Ehlers/Veslainen-Roslovic-Laine together as a 2B line and allow them to grow? Roslovic really hasnt had the chance to play with those guys and it's clear that Little doesnt fit.
Connor-Scheifle-Wheeler
Matty P-Little-Ehlers
Veslainen-Roslovic-Laine
Copp-Lowry-Appleton</div></div>

In my opinion I think it looks somthing like this. This spreads the wealth and also allows younger players to develop while having some veteran presence to guide them.

Connor Scheifele Laine
Ehlers Little Wheeler
Perreault Roslovic Vesalainen
Copp Lowry Appleton

In a perfect world that gives us a 1A 1B 3A 3B setup. I think Little will benefit by having Wheeler as the play maker and Ehlers as the legs to drive the line.
I also think Copp gets some time at centre as he had some success last year when he needed to draw in.

As a Jets fan I am actually pretty happy with that lineup to start the season, we did lose Tanev who I did like but now we have room for younger prospects to slot in and ramp up their development, I think our young players will surprise this year.

Thread: 2 Year Plan Part 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rooney</b></div><div>I honestly couldn't even take a guess haha. I am definitely interested to see as well. I feel like a short team friendly deal might actually be a good option OR I could see him playing a year or two in Minnesota as he is from there and it's close to Winnipeg anyways.</div></div>

Yeah I agree, I mean I love Buff he is the spirit of the Jets and would love to see him stick around but I also like to think rationally and take a guess at what we could potentially get in return for him.

I think we will be doing just fine in regards with the development of our younger D over the next few years so I also wouldn't rule out us moving him, getting some pieces and having him come back as a UFA to finish as well, but time will tell.
