And I don't need to "validate" this to you or anyone. If you can't see what a massive liability Enstrom is out there then that's on you. I dont see it either man. Enstrom's a pretty solid defender. you sure you're not just hung up on the small size thing? He plays sound defensively, has an offensive spark and is usually disruptive with his stick in passing lanes..

I think we're looking at a lineup something like this right now (shuffle up the lines as you please, that's not the point): Ehlers - Scheif - Wheeler Perreault - Little - Laine Matthias - Lowry - Armia Tanev - Copp - Dano So I don't really agree with the premise of the article. That is a full lineup but there are absolutely some spots that could be won with a strong performance from guys like Connor, Roslovic, and Lemieux. Pet peeve of mine is when people insist a guy like Connor is top-six or bust. There is no reason why he can't come in and play on the third line. It is probably good for him to do so.

Maybe Copp slides over to the wing and Roslovic is the 4th line centre for awhile. Or Connor plays 3rd line wing and Matthias goes down to the 4th. There are opportunities for the young guys but the team is maturing and the kids are going to have to earn spots. We're finished with the days where we go to camp with a rookie pencilled in somewhere.

I don't disagree with this. Are you calling the 3rd line the "checking" line here? If so, I agree. I could even see Perreault out there on the 3rd, with Connor taking his spot on the 2nd line. I believe the trio of Connor, Roslovic and Lemieux will all start with the Moose. There will be injuries that will give them opportunities during the season to play for the Jets. Maybe they take someone's spot, permanently.

They tried to do that at the beginning of last season but Connor didn't work out and they needed him in the top six. Checking line... I don't know, is that the third line, or the fourth? The good teams have scoring depth all through their top 9. For me, the ideal situation has some scoring punch on the third line with some checking ability... guys like Lowry and Armia.

Certainly KBF does not have to rationalie his opinion. But there is a difference between opinion and fact. It can opinion that Toby isnt as good as he used to be. But its fact that he's not nearly as bad as some people say, just ask Jets management and coaches. And opposing coaches. Toby is a good D man. Who is aging. And declining. blue_gold_84 1

I was thinking more match-up wise, rather than suggesting how much they actually play. Perreault is always an option at centre but only during as a result of an injury. He's just never established himself as a consistent centre with the Jets. Whether that's on MoPo or not, I'm not sure.

The Unknown Poster Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 I think the idea is to have three scoring lines and the 4th is the checking line.

Goalie Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 Wouldnt be surprised Ehlers Scheif Wheeler Perreault Little Laine Connor Lowry Armia Lemieux Copp Matthias Lots can happen tho. Roslovic could be ready and Connor Roslovic Armia is possible... Bumping Lowry down.. Copp Lowry Matthias. Pretty obvious after Connors comments on Jets TV that him and roslovic "will play together for many years". Its all about if Roslovic is ready... If he is.. Lowry becomes our 4th line checking center. The Unknown Poster 1

Goalie Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 Lowry is the ideal 4th line shutdown guy. I dont think he can be a 20 goal guy but 10 to 15 would be great. Especially in a shut down role. The Unknown Poster 1

Waiting for Roslo to take that 3C.
The Unknown Poster Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 Just read this and found it hilarious: It's been reported that the Jets have reached out or shown interest in Kulikov from the Sabres. This seems to be the Stu.0 (Stu point O) move as the two players are so similar. The upside is Kulikov may be better at suppressing shots in his end and not at both ends like Stu.
