Tanev-Lowry-Copp needs to be the Jets 4th line.. I hope the Jets acquire a 3rd line center for Perreault and Armia.. I could also see the Jets getting a top 6 forward and pushing guys down the lineup and someone like Copp into the press box..
I actually did not understand the call at all... So the puck was playable, ok... but is that not a high stick? And okay, it's below the waist or cross-bar... is it still not slashing? Even if the puck was loose, doesn't a penalty negate the goal?
How is that not the definition of slashing... even if you're trying to play the puck.... I thought the Jets' locker-room comments in response were perfect... all in sync and all about how Neal could break his stick over Hellebuyck's head and that's somehow ok.
Watch the league issue some kind of stupid apology in a couple of days... Or maybe not, who knows. Terrible call. Even after review, holy cow.

Last night they mentioned Rick Nash.... and let me tell ya, I would rather see Connor at 18 mins a night with Scheifele and Wheeler than Nash...... the names available are WAY past their prime, or the Paciorettys of this World are way too expensive, probably costing at least a Roslovic and then some.. maybe even a Connor... and I don't think the Jets are doing that. I could see them moving Vesalainen, but it has to be in a Pacioretty type of package, not a Nash...

They would quickly regret trading Vesalainen. Two years from now, I can see Vesalainen being better than Pacioretty.
I'm not sure Winnipeg needs to make any major moves. They have four excellent forwards, four excellent defensemen, good amount of depth, good goalies... They might be better off giving their youngsters bigger minutes instead.
I agree with both of you AZ and JP..... I'd love toget Pacioretty but not at the cost of Roslovic or Connor..
JP, do you really believe Vesalainen is going to be better than Pacioretty in 2 years time?? Wow..

Yes I do. It's partly because I think Pacioretty is declining but Vesalainen is a stud prospect, and Winnipeg will be very happy they got him so late in the draft. He's having a great season in Liiga, and he was very good at the WJC as well. He'll challenge Connor for that #1LW spot soon enough.
Guys on HockeyCentral today said that Scheifele might be back this week?

Get Connor back on that top line!!!!!!!!!!
Roslovic scored a beautiful goal tonight, though. I still think he's a better fit at C.
Perreault is fit for the 3rd line. Put him with Copp and Armia. Experiment over. Even then, he had a few brain cramps late in the game, including trying to go for the empty net whilst clearing the puck straight up the middle....!
Laine - Scheifele - Wheeler
Connor - Little - Ehlers (if Little can keep up with them)
Perreault - Copp - Armia
Hendricks - Lowry - Tanev
Worst case, bump Hendricks, bump down Copp and have Roslovic on the third line, though I think the Jets want him only in a scoring role, which makes sense, but I think he is going to be a good two-way C, like when Plekanec was good.

I was at the game tonight, can you say "sloppy".. Wow.. This was definitely a trap game, just glad we got the two points.. I didn't mind the dano-petan-lemieux line to be honest.. Not sure how they would do against a upper echelon team though..
