October 15, 20186 yr comment_361858 Jadakiss? Now, that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time. They should roll the Oil. Better upfront, better in the back and better in goal. Edited October 15, 20186 yr by JCon Typo
October 16, 20186 yr comment_362249 Did I hear, on the radio, that Lemieux was getting reps on the '4th' line, in practice? Perhaps he gets a shot tonight.

Said in the paper he would replace Vesa on the 4th line with Roslo/Perreault. Who's the tough guy on the Oil? Edited October 16, 20186 yr by FrostyWinnipeg

Khaira isn't a total goon but is showing a lot, and Nurse can be a tough dude when he wants, but being thin on D has kept him from really having the ability to sit in the penalty box for 5 minutes.
October 16, 20186 yr comment_362326 I hope they send Vesa down. Sitting in the press box is obviously no good and he could get some quality minutes with the Moose.

Sitting one game isn't bad. He can see different things from the press box. Send him down and he may end up back in Europe, which is in his contract. Ideally, he's playing top line minutes with the Moose for a few weeks before coming back to the Jets but the reality is he may bolt. Edited October 16, 20186 yr by JCon

Yes, I didn't mean one game in the box would be a bad thing, but if it stretches beyond a couple? I would imagine the Jets have a pretty good feel for what Vesa would do if he's sent down to the Moose. I'm sure someone has had a conversation with him. Hopefully he's acclimated well to Winnipeg and realizes his best bet is to play top 6 minutes in the AHL.
October 17, 20186 yr comment_362417 Vesa looked overwhelmed.... let him watch a few games I kind of see Maurice's plan - if he's letting Vesa and Lemieux watch the games at NHL level and he thinks both are ready... getting used to the atmosphere, etc is prob just as important...
October 17, 20186 yr comment_362418 There's not really anyone in the Jets forward corps you want in the pressbox for a stretch of more than a few games. It's no better for Lemieux to sit there than Vesalainen. Who else can you really sit... Andrew Copp, Brandon Tanev, Jack Roslovic??? Not likely.

There are a lot of players on that team who look like they don't belong in the NHL. I'm chalking that one up to a Jets collapse. Got to see McDavid live for the first time. His speed is ridiculous. Wasn't impressed by Draisaitl though. Never would have noticed him if I wasn't looking for him. Obviously just one game though. He looks much bigger than his listed 6'2 208. Must have big shoulder pads... Also thought Edmonton D looked slow. Edited October 17, 20186 yr by sweep the leg

Time to make a play for Nylander? Anyone see a line of Ehlers - Nylander - Laine? Leafs seem to want D, who would we offer. if we were interested? Trouba is the obvious one, but would he be enough?
October 17, 20186 yr comment_362502 Time to make a play for a competent 2nd line D man......our bottom 2 D pairings look like junk.
