My main issue with the McGroarity situation is that we gave up someone who was likely to be able to be a 2nd line center in the future and have no solution in site to an obvious team weakness. I was hoping due it his speed that Lambert could play the position better than Perfetti. Yes but not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think McGroarty is most likely destined to be a winger. he's a gritty net front presence with good puck instincts, but not fast enough, nor a strong enough puck distributor to play center. 20 hours ago, Colin Unger said: Edited September 30 by Tony Fresco Edited for double post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 (edited) Chibrikov is way more noticeable than lambert Is. Dude plays an nhl style game and has some mitts also. Nino names Chibrikov 3rd line with Lowry and 2 defensive wingers as our shutdown line would be sick but we lack that 2 center so prob Perfetti names Ehlers. Me. I’d try this Perfetti Scheifele Vilardi - smart but slower Connor lambert Ehlers - speed to burn Nino names Chib - speed skill defensively strong and 2 wingers who can dig the puck out the corners Hell Nino Scheifele Chibrikov would probably dominate the puck and 55 would score 55 Gus Lowry Iafallo <- shutdown line.

HardCoreBlue Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 This year it really looks like depth will not be our friend for the Jets. If injuries mount up the statement next man up does not give one a feeling of confidence. The central division on paper looks strong not boding well for the Jets but hey we're all tied for 1st so all the unrealistic expectations are still in place that we can make some noise. The articles I read on predications consistently place us on the outside looking in possibly squeaking in for a wildcard spot. Rebuilding year next year. Ugh. Here's hoping for no injuries, Helle stands on his head, Perfetti shines, Ehlers makes it difficult on us to trade him, our defense pleasantly surprises us, our PP does a 180 from previous years and our PK plays an aggressive box putting us in the top ten of the league for pk percentage. I know, the usual living in la la land to start to the season with heart broken at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played like dog-poo so far. kelownabomberfan and Goalie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has Anderson-Dolan done? He’s a grinder, sure, but I think Gustafsson is more of a true center. I don’t know much about JAD, but he’s been mostly a winger.

Yup and i think we need more grinders, i like Gus but he just doesn't bring enough speed or offense even for a 4c imo.😊 30 minutes ago, BomberBall. said: What has Anderson-Dolan done?

FrostyWinnipeg Posted October 4 Report Share Posted October 4 There is a low bar for scoring on the 4th and Gus/Kupari don't seem like the guys who could pot 10 in a season. Barron used to play C maybe give him a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted October 7 Report Share Posted October 7 It’s sad they keeping 3 goalies. Just can’t waive Comrie. Says it all. Won’t waive a guy who won’t be picked up and didn’t get a minute of preseason but send the kids down. Jets don’t learn. Hopefully we tank and are forced to sell pionk Ehlers and others at the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
