January 24, 20187 yr comment_315053 Buff is a rapidly declining asset. If someone offered you a half decent return for him (not sure why they would) you'd have to look long and hard at it...

Maurice loves Roslo... more ice time than Connor Maybe Enstrom and Stuart were the problem on our PK... 5 minutes for Dano and he still managed to be awful
January 24, 20187 yr comment_315056 Stop complaining. The really good teams win games that they were outplayed in.

Hes 2 slow. Maurice seems pretty adamant about Roslo being a RW on the big club. You have to wonder how he's going to get time at C when we're healthy. Considering he's on the wing now & we're down Scheifs & Lowry. I'd flop Roslovic with Perreault and roll your lines.
January 24, 20187 yr Author comment_315112 Notable Notes: Bryan Little who wears #18 scores 18 seconds in to start the game and scores 18 seconds in overtime to end the game . What are the odds? Tanev/Copp/Armia/Myers +2 each Roslo/Byfuglien -2 each

The thing is, we basically have our top 3 centres set for the next 5 years unless we move on from Lowry... and that doesn't seem likely. So putting Roslo at wing just gives him the best chance to contribute. If it was 2012 Roslo could play centre on our second line but those days are gone Jimmy, let it go.

That contract extension the Jets gave him two years ago sure isn't looking that good these days. I fear the team is stuck with him based on what remains (3 years, $22M).
January 25, 20187 yr comment_315198 A guy that big just can't maintain his physical dominance as he ages....it catches up so much quicker with big guys. That 2009 Hawks team was a LOOOOONG time ago, in hockey years...

Jets would get a huge haul for Buff. Wouldn't surprise me if Buff is dealt this off season.

January 25, 20187 yr comment_315226 Yeah, I don't know if anyone knows for sure, but logic would dictate that he can't maintain his physical dominance because age is going to slow him down...

Hes actually gotten away from that. But when he decides to he lays ppl out . His problem is between his ears.

He dominates when he wants to. He makes poor decision about length of shift and gets sulky when his ice time is decreased. But he can still dominate at times. If he plays "off" during the playoffs, to me thats the signal its time to move on. Because thats why you put up with him all season, is to have him in the playoffs where he's a weapon no one else can deploy. We shall see.

Wouldn't surprise me if Buff is dealt this off season. His cap hit is roughly 10% of the cap ceiling and is currently the fifth highest among NHL defenseman, which is noteworthy considering the company in that top 5. Has he lived up to expectations the last two seasons? I'd say not so much. I'm not convinced teams would be lining up or that the Jets would get a huge haul to trade Byfuglien, but I'm only seeing the situation through a fan lens. With the depth in the organization, maybe he gets moved sooner or later. I just don't see it happening, that's all.

Or it could be Enstromitis. This team has never been better and he should be 'All Buff" at this point. Edited January 25, 20187 yr by FrostyWinnipeg

But they're a pairing that's played well in the past before, and in a more prominent role. FWIW, his advanced statistics so far this season are slightly better than last.

January 25, 20187 yr Author comment_315302 Just now, JCon said: Enstrom's stats? More worried about Roslo's +/-
January 25, 20187 yr comment_315303 I just wasn't sure if you were talking about Entrom's or Buff's stats. For Buff, I heard his stats were lower than previous years. Dom Luszczyszyn was on the TSN 1290, and although he's still ahead of Trouba and Morrissey, that the reason is because of his previous year's stats and that he's trending down. I have no idea, I don't follow the fancy stats closely or know what he was measuring.

Random player lets say Dano goes to change.. While thats happening the other team comes down the ice.. Dano steps off... Roslo steps on.. Other team scores half second later.. Roslo = -1 eventho he just literally stepped on the ice for half a second.
January 25, 20187 yr comment_315312 Buff was a plus 2? But was on the ice for 3 or 4 sharks goals... Irrelevant

And to be clear, I'm referring to their advanced stats (Corsi, Fenwick, PDO) and not their point production. Edited January 25, 20187 yr by blue_gold_84 clarification
