    Roslovic and Connor are taking over that team. They have been mostly split up lately and are still doing well individually.

He's making good team plays and some of his goals look like they're just coming so easily to him because he's in the right position. I think there is still a significant jump to make before he can do the same thing in the NHL, but he looks to be showing the effort required to take his game there. I like what I'm seeing on this trend. Especially in a year where, like I mentioned above, he had to deal with an injury which slowed him significantly. He seems well past it now.
    How is he in his own end and along the boards? Those seemed to be his greatest weak points, from what I saw. Of course, finding his footing in his strengths at that level are important to his development and confidence, too. His +/- seems solid, considering the team he's playing on.

    You nailed it on the +/-. This is a bad team, or at least a mediocre one. They don't do particularly well in their own zone and their goaltending is not good. It helps to explain it in part. In his own end he looks fine. He will never be confused for a defensive specialist, but he looks strong on his skates and when he gets a hold of the puck he gets it out quick. I don't know how any of this will translate to the NHL. The AHL is a much slower league and it is way more wide open. That said, it's a good sign to me that in that environment, he is at least displaying what you would want to see (or what I like to see anyway). He is faster than many of his peers, both on his skates and in the decision-making process with the puck, the latter of which was one indictment from Maurice out of camp. His second half has looked very very good. If he had a first half like this in the AHL, I firmly believe he'd be hitting 40G. He just oozes offense.

    In the NHL, the same kind of season would probably have translated to 20-20 or 25-20.. for about 45 pts, which is a very good rookie season these days. If he continues trending upwards like this, I think he can give us 25-25 next year and I also think that would be pretty darn good. He is not a career AHL type player. I know it's early, but he is better than his peers on his team. On a stronger team, he would have better +/- to go with his offensive totals, which could even be bumped by 5-6 pts if that was the case. By next camp, I think he is ready to make an impact at the NHL level. Reminds me of a faster Jakub Voracek when he skates around (his build is also similar to a degree), but with a laserbeam for a shot. I think if he turns in Voracek type of production, you got yourself more than value out of your draft pick if you're the Jets.

    Wow, that's a pretty telling stat. Really coming into his own after a very, very slow start.

    Enough with Maurice and his line combos already. When is he going o admit that Lowry is not a PP1 guy? When is it time to move Perrault off the top line and PP2? Let the big dogs do what they do and put the puck in the net.

    I agree.

    But I'd say Maurice' real problem isn't coaching his forwards - it's giving a damn about defense. The defensive talent is not the problem either - it's a decent defensive lineup. It's coaching.

    Perrault is very good. I dunno what games you’re watching, but none of the Jets problems have to do with Perrault.

    Well, I didn't say all of the Jets problems were Perreaults fault. In fact I said they due to Maurice's decision making. Perrault should not be in the top pp. doesn't mean he isn't any good, there is just better roles suited for his type of game. Short handed and defensive zone are his wheel house, and he is amazing in those deployments.

    Dellow: It's pretty obvious who belongs on Jets PP1 and it's not their young stars https://theathletic.com/103037/2017/09/18/dellow-its-pretty-obvious-who-belongs-on-jets-pp1-and-its-not-their-young-stars/

    I mean I can link you to this, where Dellow basically proved it’s much more likely that Scheifele, Laine, and Ehlers shouldn’t be on PP1 but Perrault definitely should be, but I’d assume if you’re a Jets fan and you had an Athletic subscription you probably already would have.

    That's fine RA, if you need an online publication to inform your opinion, that's fine, that works for you. I make my assessments from watching the games backed up with my knowledge of how the game is played from having played at a decent caliber level. I don't need fancy stats to tell me who should play when and where, I can see with my own eyes.

    Agree to disagree on this.

    I'm not able to read the article but based on what I've seen, I wouldn't want Laine and Byfuglien on the same PP unit. They both love shooting but can't seem to make passes to each other to set up the other for a one-timer. Maybe they're making bad passes on purpose so that they can shoot it themselves, I don't know. I'm not really sure which one I'd take off PP1 and who my replacement would be but that's just my take on the situation.

    Has Ehlers been on PP1? I thought it was Byfuglien, Laine, Scheifele, Wheeler and Perreault. Maybe Ehlers would be my replacement for one of the shooters actually.

    EDIT: Forgot it's Lowry on PP1, so that would be another change I would make. Put Wheeler in front of the net, he can handle that role for sure.

    There's nothing wrong with their PP. They've moved the puck well and had plenty of chances. Lowry and Perreault are both fine on the PP. Lowry's a tank along the boards and in front of the net, and I think the team is right to try to develop him in that role, because he's got the size and tools for it. Perreault handles the puck well, he can distribute it, and he's got a great wrister from the circle that is always a threat. The goals are going to come with this team. They've already hit about 7 posts/crossbars, and there's way too much talent there for them to not score.

    The problem is team defense, both 5 on 5 and on the PK. On top of that, they currently lack the mental toughness to bounce back from a bad goal or any kind of push back from their opponents. Mason having a bad start has really hurt the team in that department. Not to pin the problems on Mason, but if he had been solid back there, the team could have found its way a little easier. Now, they have no confidence that their mistakes won't end up in the back of the net, and it's hard to work out the kinks and nerves in that scenario.

    I have a hunch that Hellebuyck is going to step in and play really well. I suspect the team will even out and be fine, but the question is whether or not they do it before they dig themselves too deep of a hole to regain lost ground.

    Lol.

    Score one for “watch the games crowd”.

    I’m sure your junior A knowledge is adequate for NHL caliber hockey. Some people are smart enough to KNOW they aren’t smart enough to know everything.
