Would have been nice to see Poolman more in the pre-season... his contract for the next three years is pretty cheap With him and Morrow as RFA, I'd way rather develop them - we've seen Chiarot's ceiling and its just 'okay'

There isn't a need for Vesalainen right now... Scoring on the top 9 is already there and no sense playing him on the fourth Still hoping for the Copp-Roslo-Ehlers line - felt like Copp and Ehlers did well together... Maybe Perrault is the spark for Little-Laine...

Little was 1C for a lot of years with this franchise... at least hang his jersey from the rafters...

Looking like Rosso-Ehlers might be a thing... interesting to see what Niku-Chiarot looks like Would like to see Copp bumped up and Lemieux replace him on the 4th... that's starting to make the most sense to me Based on morning skate, here’s tonight’s #NHLJets line up for Minnesota:Vesalainen-Roslovic-EhlersCopp-Lowry-TanevDano-Suess-LiponLemieux-Reichel-AppletonMorrow-ByfuglienNiku-ChiarotKulikov-NogierBrossoit starts

June Jones is a wild man!!!

Pretty sure you still have to pay him even if he's on the IR... ha Jets aren't up against the cap yet - why worry.

That's not luck, that is random chance - a basic calculation of odds. Winning the lottery three times - now that's luck.

What are the rules with retiring and then mounting a comeback? Surely the team you retired with must hold your rights...

Ah then that's just a normal deal for Sutton... Montreal moves up 4-5 spots Agreed lateral move.

I'm not so sure about our depth at Centre this year... its a big step for Roslo and if he doesn't pan out, then you're breaking up the Copp-Lowry combo

3rd rounder is a pretty decent return for Sutton

$3.3 mill is not an overpay for a faceoof guy that can get you 15 goals and play wherever you want him

I'd sit Fogg... but I don't think you can slot Flanders in - really think you have to run with Lafrance and Augustine If you start Flanders and try to run with 3 NI REC, you basically have no backup if someone's injured

Wow... Sens placer Zack Smith on waivers. He would be an AMAZING pick up for Chevy... either slot in as 4th line C and bump up Lowry or plug him into third line - $3.3 million for three years is very fair Always struck me as another Perrault type

Hasn't Jones been doing interviews like this since day one...?

I totally agree... but I'm not sure Roslo is ready for 2C either - we'll find out in the first 10-15 games If Roslo isn't 3rd C - who's the other option? Maurice will never split up Copp-Lowry-Tanev...

I still think its just crazy not to play Niku this year - the league is full of young defenders now and Niku obviously knows how to score... at least give him 20 games I honestly have my doubts that Morrow or Chiarot would get picked up on waivers anyway... Suddenly you have three defensive pairings with scoring/play driving capability

They probably really really want to prove that their $5.2 million 2C isn't actually just a third line right winger for the next six years

I'd run a rotation of Flanders/LaFrance and Peterman/Thompkins at Field WR If Demski is out, we could be looking at a 3 'rookie' NI REC core...

Wouldn't be surprised if Lemieux ends up on the third line - Maurice loves his grit...

The trouble is we don't have anyone else on the left side that can really move the puck... Morrow is decent at the first pass but he definitely does not put pressure on the other team Myers on the left seems pretty scary to me - especially logging big minutes with Buff... but it sure seems like Maurice wants to force that pairing

BC getting their last game against Calgary works for them in a big way... This title thread probably should be BC-EDM-WPG Crossover Race If we beat Edmonton this week, we're tied... they are probably the most vulnerable team right now for our playoff hopes

Probably right - one forward and one D... Was thinking Niku would get a shot but I think they'll let him 'age' in the AHL this year - maybe until first injury

There's a spot wide open on the third line.... and first call up is definitely a battle

I can't believe LH screwed the bombers again...
