Posted this in St Louis thread but it seems slow.
Anyone see the Winnipeg game? I know Jake Allen started and won. But how did he look? Is he getting his confidence back?
Me neither, though I think that is a 4th line and not much more. A great, speedy 4th line with some scoring pedigree. From what I have seen from Petan, I don't think he develops into more than a depth player. 3rd line guy who skates hard and contributes offense, almost like Perreault.
Once Scheifele and Trouba are both back, this team will be flat-out ridiculous.

Allen looked ok last night.. He really didn't get tested too much as the Blues played really good defensively infront of him.. He only had 22 shots on net but obviously did enough to get the victory!!

Missed the game against WSH. Saw Connor played 18+ mins with 5 SOG. Is he back on the top line or was it PP time?

Forward lines at practice:
Connor – Scheifele – Wheeler
Perreault – Little – Roslovic
Ehlers – Copp – Laine
Petan – Hendricks – Armia
This is basically what the lines were at the end of the last game. Connor and Roslovic looked fantastic. I like Ehlers a lot, but he's really got to cut out the overly cute plays and turnovers in the neutral zone. Laine, too, to a degree, and he's got to work on his quickness and effort level every game. They'll both see their ice-time rounded up a bit via the PP.
At any rate, I'd expect Connor and Roslovic to put up some numbers if these lines stick for a little while.
Ohhhhhh I hope Tanev comes back and Petan heads back to the Moose!!

I would love to see
Connor – Scheifele – Wheeler
Ehlers – Little – Laine
Perreault – Lowry – Roslovic
Petan - Copp – Armia
Hendricks
And Petan Eventually traded for a big, strong, slick defensive 3C, with Lowry shifting to line 4. Petan is a decent prospect but the top 6 opportunity just won't happen for him on a team so deep in WPG. If they could get a Couturier equivalent (like a poor man's equivalent), even if he was a little older... Like Mike Fisher at age 30+ or something for Petan, I would do it.

Yeah, I think Petan's trade bait at this point. He's still got value for a team shallow at forward skill depth, but there's no place for him with the Jets. He's still young enough to make a career for himself in the right situation, hopefully. No idea what he could garner, though.
They definitely need to get some experience on this squad. Now's the time to make a deal..
Last time they were in contention for the playoffs, Chevy acquired Stempniak and Tlusty.. I expect something to happen soon and I feel Petan and their 1st will be heading elsewhere!!

Petan and their 1st would be enough to land Hoffman... but the Jets don't need that kind of player. They need an experienced, defensive centre. They clearly do not need scorers...

Dominating performance last night by the Jets. 4-0 in St.Louis. Scheifele-Wheeler-Connor had the puck on a string most of the night.. Is it just me or is Byfuglien playing really good of late??
I am so interested to see what move or moves Chevy is going to pull off.. Something is on the brink of happening here..

I would love to see McDonagh in Winnipeg but I think they can only acquire a rental because they'll have Ehlers jumping to $6M, and Trouba and Hellebuyck to re-sign. Maybe Jack Johnson?
It sounded like they were after Brassard, so maybe they would acquire someone like Plekanec for that #3C spot.
Not very sexy names but those are probably their best options if they're only in the rental market which would make sense because I don't really see them trading someone from their active lineup right now.
