July 6, 20178 yr comment_274488 Vanek would be interesting. Put him with Lowry and you could see something. Guy lives in Minny so we probably would be an option for him. I dont think it happens but id be ok with Vanek as a 3rd line guy.

He's a more talented Drew Stafford - a floater and a finisher. I don't want to those guys. Only guys left to sign are guys who 'were' top six players 3-4 years ago and are now done. Dwight King would be a good gritty 3/4 liner. Purcell should rebound with the right team. I'd add Doan to this list - he might be the right guy for Connor-Roslovic-Doan on 3rd line Edited July 6, 20178 yr by Floyd

Vanek had couple more points in 20 less games. No see the need.

Doan is the perfect example of a player who doesnt know when to quit. Should have taken the celebratory retirement with the Coyotes and kept a job with them. Although, its his business if he wants to keep playing (or try to). And if we're going down that road, I'd rather rather have Jagr.
July 6, 20178 yr comment_274562 Kovalchuk and Vanek are locker room poison. Selfish players. I'm not really sold on Doan tbh - I wouldn't sign any of the old guys... but at least Doan and Jagr have shown they can lead and could be a positive influence on rookies.
July 6, 20178 yr comment_274566 Yeah, I'd pass on Vanek too. This team has had issues with consistent "give a F" effort in the past, I don't think a part time player / floater is a good fit. Plus, I don't see much room on the wings in our top 9. I may be in the minority, but I don't know another forward is a must anyway. More depth at comfortable AAV/term, yeah I'd be down. Not essential tho, IMO. Of course, I'm pretty high on Connor & Roalovic too. I see one or both being a key cog with the Jets all season.
July 6, 20178 yr comment_274569 The only thing I could see is a skilled center, of which i dont see many left other than Duchesene or someone like Jokinen because of his effort and faceoff work. They might want to improve on faceoffs especially with Little having been injured. If they feel they have enough depth to over-come losing Little's offensive input (if injured) they might want to have more faceoff depth.
July 6, 20178 yr comment_274571 Jussi seems like a good fit. I'm all for adding more Finns even if only to keep telling Laine he's not leaving Wpg...ever. Certainly would be a juicier signing than Olli.

You literally just posted a lineup with Dano playing wing in the top 9. If that's not "room" then I don't know what is.

July 6, 20178 yr comment_274579 The Jets have enough veteran leaders to help out the young guys, ones who aren't in the twilight of their careers. Hard pass on Doan.

If it's only about who'll produce more, I'd take Vanek with more points than Dano in 17/18. The more I read about him, the more I like TBH. Pretty solid production, only made $2.6M last season. Very good on PP, too. I guess in that scenario, we'd just dump Dano for nothing then? He's scooped if you send him down, and there's only room for him AND Vanek if Connor & Roslovic are in the A all year. I'd still rather a FW who's known more for D zone work & who can win some faceoffs over a FW who's primarily a goal scorer.

I'm of the opinion that there is no need to rush Connor or Roslovic into the lineup. They are waiver-exempt so let them come up naturally, when there are injuries or someone is playing so poorly that you need to get them out of the lineup. Laine - Scheifele - Ehlers Perreault - Little - Wheeler Vanek - Lowry - Armia Matthias - Copp - Dano Start with that. Petan and Sgarbossa in the press box. Let Connor and Roslovic dominate in the AHL and bring them up if and when it is necessary.
July 6, 20178 yr comment_274616 If the Jets are looking at a depth forward signing, someone capable of playing centre or wing would be nice. Versatility in the bottom six is never a bad thing, IMO. Someone like Pirri or VandeVelde could be a nice fit. Even Nestaril could come cheap. If it's just a dedicated centreman, perhaps Winnick... Although, I would expect he's looking for a decent payday. Cheaper options could be Desjardins or White.
July 6, 20178 yr comment_274617 I think we need Connor to make the big club and do well this year. Perreault is sort of that weird 2/3 line guy. He stirs the drink on the 2nd line but we're probably in much better shape if he's an everyday third liner.
July 6, 20178 yr comment_274618 Winnik hasnt played center in years.. I think him and pirri are options tho. Then again.. When was the last time anyone at tsn was right about the Jets.

Connor and Roslo have amazing chemistry. MP is a top 6 guy.
