Thread: BRB going to cry
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>Where tf is Perfetti and Heinola during a game like this? Perfect opportunity to call them up and give them a chance against an awful Arizona team. </div></div>

I don't think Chevy would ever do this regardless who the coach is. Also there's no way to get both up, and the only way to do it without waiving someone is to send Ves down. I' said on a previous thread you tagged me in that they should have waived Nash two weeks ago for Gus, Heinola won't come up barring a D man going on LTIR

But yes, something has to change. Whether it's Gus, new lines and new power play units or something more drastic, I don't know what will happen. But if I was a betting man it wouldn't be on the coach getting fired. I just don't see the organization doing it

Thread: Lines for tomorrow
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>Well if that isn't an indictment on the value of underlying numbers/analytics then idk what could be, Wheeler is clearly struggling, the play is often dying on his stick, he's gettting stripped of the puck and rarely wins a puck battle and most of the shots hes taking are low percentage ones that are never going in, even the most average hockey fan can see it.

I agree that Wheeler is getting too much hate as everyone on the Jets have sucked lately other then Helly and Comrie but a night or two off to rest might be best for all involved, some time lower down in the lineup probably wouldn't hurt either.</div></div>

All benching Wheeler would do is create more vitriol. The entire team's analytics have been good this year, which is why this losing streak is different to the one last year. I'm fine with Wheeler on the 3rd line

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>Once again the same issues tend to come through. The team looks lost. They had a solid 2/3 of the first period and then it just fell apart. I’m honestly lost as to what they should do at this point. Maurice 100% is on the hot seat and if it was up to me, he’d likely be gone if they lose to Calgary tomorrow. </div></div>

I highly doubt Maurice gets fired, it feels much more "True North" to wait until the offseason when there is a team option and simply not extend him. I think the only way he gets fired is if they are out of a playoff spot either at the Olympic break or the trade deadline.

Our cap situation makes change difficult, but at an absolutely bare minimum put Nash on waivers and recall Gustaffson.

Oh and play Scheifele on the 4th line lol, dude came back from asymptomatic covid and talked about playing 18 holes of golf at his home golf simulator every day. Quarantine throws people off, we saw it with PLD, but his effort tonight was pathetic. Wheeler was symptomatic and he's getting shredded.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>jimmyjets</b></div><div>I get this isn't serious but there are problems with every single move made here and ultimately we are over the cap at the end anyhow.

That Nylander trade is very unrealistic even though you've retained 50% on Wheeler. A 2nd round pick in 2024? I'm sure they'd think about that long and hard....

Preds just extend a guy and give him a NMC and then you ask them to retain salary for 8 years on a guy they just signed that would never waive his NMC anyhow.

For the Beaulieu thing I get you just picked the Flames to be the team to claim him off waivers but did you maybe mean the Oilers? Anyhow, the point is that you waive Beaulieu and he is claimed... I'm not sure that he would be.

Then you sign Dubnyk who for the last 2 seasons has put up less than a .900 save percentage and is 35 years old. Comrie has been good. In fact way better than expected as he's rocking a .920 save percentage over 5 games this year and is 3 - 2 so getting another goalie isn't an issue at this point. I want my backup to win 60% if the games he starts and Comrie is doing that. With a bit more goal support this team is one of the top in the league. The goals will come. I'm not worried.</div></div>

Thank you for some level headedness and sensibility about the Jets current slump. People are losing their mind over a team that has controlled the flow of play every game they've lost.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GeauxPreds1</b></div><div>I wouldn’t do that for just josi. Josi isn’t declining any time soon and will be a top defenseman in the league for years. I don’t value morrissey that high so a top prospect that’s unknown and a low first doesn’t get you josi. If you don’t think an offer would get hedman it’s not gonna get josi.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>So where's the compensation for NSH retaining half of Josi's contract for 7 seasons?</div></div>


It's a bad trade for both sides. No way Nashville does this and the retention is laughable, but at the same time the Jets have traded alot of picks in recent years and so need to keep guys like Perfetti to navigate the cap crunch by having guys on ELCs. This whole AGM is a mess

Wheeler is not the issue. The KFC/Dubois line has nearly identical underlying numbers with Svech and Wheeler on it. Having said that I would personally move Wheeler to Lowry's line and create more depth. It's frustrating to see him take the blame, he's one of the only ones skating hard and back checking up front besides Copp and Dubois. Connor has been lights out this year but he floated on that back check today.

Scheifele told reporters that he built a golf simulator he was so bored during covid, maybe he should start playing like the guy who was asymptomatic with covid because right now it looks like Wheeler was the one who didn't have symptoms.

I 100% agree with you on Stastny, specially the power play has been non existent since he was hurt.

The Jets underlying numbers this year are good for the first time in years. I think the team will come around but there needs to be some adjustments up front. And time to risk losing Nash on waivers and bring up Gus.
