Jets aren't in a great bargaining position with Morrissey... and the talk of Myers on the left side doesn't really sound like a great idea

As for Myers on the left side i agree on the other hand you got Dano/Tanev/Chiarot/Laine/Ehlers playing their off wings in your lines. Enuf with the off wings!!! 1 hour ago, Floyd said: Little penciled in a 2C... it will probably be something like...

Maurice JUST finished saying that Myers, Kulikov and Chiarot are all fine playing their either side. Laine and Ehlers played their off-wings for at least half of last season... Laine is terrible when he's on the right side. I've never heard of Tanev playing anywhere other than right wing... You're a bit too hung up on this, I'm afraid...

September 17, 20186 yr Author comment_356380 Myers-Buff seems like a thing... Not sure I like moving form 3 solid pairing to 2 superstar pairings that will eat mega-minutes and be exhausted come playoff time

September 19, 20186 yr comment_356569 I think the idea of Myers on the left is to give him more ice time. Maurice said something about that, giving everyone time. He even joked that Trouba told him he'd play the left side. Morrow is actually pretty solid. He was pretty highly touted when he came into the league, didnt really have the success people thought he would...but he's not a scrub. As others have said, with Niku, no reason to rush him, He's young, has a two way deal, can be sent down etc. I thought Poolman could be too but TSN this morning said he is subject to waivers which gives him an inside shot at 3RHD or the press box. Same with Logan...he can be sent down so no sense in hand-wringing over him yet. He has lots of upside and does some things well. He'll get used to the speed of the pro game in the AHL and be better for it. The D is pretty good this year and has some good pieces moving forward, primarily if they lock up Josh and Trouba long term.
September 19, 20186 yr comment_356580 Logan has pretty snappy passes but would need to see more of him to thrash out an opinion. What's to worry, there is no place for him here anyways. Let the young wine age.

I thought he was waiver exempt still? I know he's on a one-way deal, but doesn't he need to get to 60 NHL games or 2 years or something before he needs clear waivers?

September 23, 20186 yr comment_357560 Looks like Maurice is dead set on sticking Laine with Little....even though last year they had practically no chemistry together...maybe we swing a deal at crunch time for a center who can. Since it looks like Maurice aint gonna give Roslo a chance with Laine and Ethlers...
September 24, 20186 yr Author comment_357611 Wouldn't be surprised if Lemieux ends up on the third line - Maurice loves his grit...

Isn't preseason a perfect time to try out some different combos? Stop trying to ram a square peg into a round hole.

Maurice will never split up Copp-Lowry-Tanev...
