If it was up to me stafford Burmi Thorburn Stuart Pavelec Peluso would all not be on the team this season but it's not... so therefore pavelec Stuart thorburn stafford Burmi will be on the team this year. I doubt they trade anyone before the season starts. It's 1 more year of development for sure. Then next season when pavelec thorburn stafford Burmi aren't here cuz their contracts expired... Jets will start to be playoff contenders. I'd expect that by Laine and Connors last year of their ELC that this team should be a legit playoff team but that's 2 years away still.... we will see what happens but I'd honestly suspect that we struggle this season... I think a few players will have very good years but I think because we are still very young that growing pains plus a combo of pavelec in net probably equals a lottery pick next season

Then he shouldn't be playing. **** happens. I doubt it will be needed tho since he will probably be signed by then

Laine probably has the best chance to score 25 goals because he is a goal scorer .. will he? Maybe. Maybe not. More than likely not tho because he's a rookie. He's going to be a very good player and so will Connor and even Ehlers but you know what? It takes a while to be a very good player. I wouldn't put ridiculous expectations on Laine or Connor... they are kids... they have some maturing and growing to do still... I guess you can say... they are just boys still playing against men. Look at Scheif .. he needed a couple years to really find his stride... it's gonna take Laine Connor and for that matter Ehlers a couple years to do the same I'm not sure I'd Lol @ Laine scoring 25 tho... it's possible. He's pretty much a once in a generation talent from Finland so who knows. If Connor puts up 15... that will be a good season for him. Why should we replace stafford tho? I mean... he's a 20 goal guy and if the kids ain't ready for a top 6 role... Stafford is there. He's a good 1 year stop gap. It's not even all about scoring goals tho... it's about being responsible in both ends of the ice. .. Laine pretty much is but like Ehlers last year... Connor will be learning to play D on the ice. Lower the expectations. It's better to be surprised than disappointed

I would imagine it would be negotiated between the NHL and the agent... It won't be for Millions and Millions of dollars tho.

Expectations seem to be high for a team with a ton of youth on it. I mean, If Connor has a similar year that Ehlers had last year, that's a good year, same for Laine, Yeah they both have natural goal scoring abilities but they are gonna be rookies, rookies have good games, they have bad games, they have good stretches, they have bad stretches, This idea that Laine and Connor can replace Ladd plus Staffords goal scoring is far fetched, They will be ROOKIES. Lower the expectations a wee bit here, who was the last Rookie to put up 25 30 goals? I honestly can't even remember, it just doesn't happen these days very often. Armia on the second line is definitely LOL... not a chance, he's a third or 4th liner for sure... the hype Armia has gotten is just... I don't get it actually, is he a good player? sure... has he shown the ability to put up points tho? Not really... not at all actually, Armia played twice as many games with the Jets than Dano did, they each had 4 goals a piece, Dano is more of a top 6 candidate than Armia is and it's not even close. Surely tho, one of these line combos will be right, because pretty much every possible combo has been mentioned now... but it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see these line combo predictions all be dead dead wrong... But since this is the thread... what the heck right? Ehlers Scheif Wheeler Laine Little Stafford Connor Perreault Armia Matthias Lowry Dano No Burmi, No Thorburn, No Peluso.. No Lemieux. Thorburn in the Press Box since Lemieux is probably better served playing actual minutes with the Moose. Wouldn't shock me tho if Connor starts with the Moose also, just because he can... and despite what maybe 1 or 2 people might think, The Jets aren't gonna be playoff contenders this year either, Do i hope they are? Sure, But reality is, with so much youth in the lineup, it looks to be one more year of developing and that's fine. I think next season is the year they will be ready to compete for a playoff spot. This year? Unless Pavelec isn't the starting goalie and unless all the young guys step up and have seasons to remember, i don't see it happening.

Omega has that Brian Pillman feel to him, He's a star in the making for sure. He's gonna be big, When he decides to go to WWE, He will be main eventing in no time.

Tough call. I think I'll go with Messam

Pavelec. Hutch. Stuart. Buff. Enstrom. Wheeler. And everyone besides scheif trouba Burmi and little say hello also. Really... 90 percentof the "current" roster didn't.

1 year 2 way

Bilukidi for Jensen and a pick

Pederson had credibility? Since when.

I believe Mr Dee was not so subtly altho I suppose maybe 2 subtle for some, suggesting we trade his rights to Ottawa

Rider Pride? Sounds more like SDS to me... you know what that means? Very odd medical problem... Small **** Syndrome

Still makes no sense considering little is better than Staal and only a year older. What makes even less sense is talking about our future centers but then trading not 1 but 2 guys who could very well be 3rd and 4th line centers or better in the future... plus myers plus Stafford to Carolina of all places who have a bunch of very good Young D men. Fleury? He's just a prospect. He's worth way less than Myers. Staal for 7 more years? Why. He's not that good plus he's overpaid for what he brings. I wouldn't trade for Staal ..and I highly doubt Chevy would either. Why. I don't get the why. Explain it all you want... it still makes No sense for both the Jets and Hurricanes

Oh no. It's a huge conspiracy against the riders. I mean ratio violations.... standing at center field.... being a douchebag coach.... having 30 other players or more around practicing.... yeah... it's a conspiracy against the riders. It's not cheating and getting caught.... it's a conspiracy. Cuz the Great Saskatchewan Rough Riders are hated by the league Don't you know? Saskatchewan and it's tiny population is what keeps the league going.

Ripper.. I get you are a rider fan and you will defend them to death but... at what point do you take off the Homer glasses and realize that they are quickly becoming the biggest gongshow in the league

The future? Staal is 27 turning 28. Little is 28 turning 29. Really not much thought put in to this one Ducky plus Carolina is stacked with D. Not a good fit. Myers is worth more than a 28 year old overpaid center that's for sure. Fleury? He's just a prospect... basically at this point a throw in to a trade. Adam Larsson got Taylor Hall. Myers is worth more than Staal and Fleury. Leave Lowry and petan out of it and it's closer but still pointless to do.

Justify all you want but rhd on good contracts like Myers gets you more than you think. Throwing stafford Lowry and petan in? Why? Do you not like depth?

Turnovers and improved OL play = huge difference Nichols or Willy or Davis or Bennett... irrelevant who just needs to be average. Manage the game. Nichols hasn't been spectacular. He's been average and that's enough when you get tons of turnovers

It will last for another week for sure. Montreal after the bye? Hmm

You serious? And the Winner of the HH goes to...

When the Jets drafted Stanley they specifically said... 2 more years of junior then 1 year in the A at least. Don't think LHD is a huge issue. . It Will come down to the young guys the special teams and goaltending

HM to Moe for the dagger

Not sure why this thread is still going. But... Nichols looked awful to start and then picked it up. Not one of Nichols better games tho. Major props to the D. When you get 6 turnovers a game the last 2 games pretty much... you had better win.

1. Fogg 2. Denmark 3. Oline plus Harris
