Jets guy, stats guy. That’s pretty much my whole personality.
We are in an era where the Jets front office will have to mandate patience from the coaching staff, something they’ve shown they’re incapable of since about 2016. Anyone expecting a saviour next year is about to be disappointed, but if we are patient it will pay off in spades in future years.
“If the team starts to regress.” “They’re not there yet by any stretch.” What kind of reality do these guys live in? They experienced more regression than any team in the league this year and it makes sense they regressed because they’re the oldest team in the league. What are they expecting?
That’s a big signing, and if Ceresna can find his pre-injury form the Bombers’ o-line and d-line both just got a lot better.
Logan Stanley is scoring, but his overall game is still not good at all. This is a glorious sell high opportunity for the Jets.
You’ll never guess which of these two players is coming out of the lineup
Adam Lowry is a great example of why points don’t tell a full story, or in a lot of cases don’t even tell much of a story at all offensively.
You’ll never guess which one of these players was more expensive to acquire via trade. This also likely undersells just how bad Schenn has been this year since it takes prior years into account as well.
Kyle Connor: good, but not $12M good. Positive take: the way he plays he’s likely still effective into his 30s. Negative take: if his finishing ever declines this goes from a potentially problematic contract to a really bad contract. I think the org sees themselves as a contender and I disagree.
Why would you ever sign this player? There’s not a single thing he does better than average and he’s one of the worst defensive forwards in the league.
The Jets could have let Pionk walk and traded for Spence and they would have saved $5.5M in cap space *and* improved significantly at the position.
Man if that was Ehlers’ last game as a Jet… truly shameful deployment. I can’t imagine this won’t leave a sour taste in his mouth heading into the offseason.
Well considering the difference is significant using his playoff .902 save percentage you can certainly can the difference is significant using just the last three years. At the 5% level of significance, Helle is a different goalie in the playoffs. “Argument from authority” 😆
The one in the net has -9.6 goals saved above expected plus another -0.92 in this one and an .848 save percentage these playoffs. With all due respect, we already have worse than the Appleton of goalies in our net atm.
Whether it hits the goalie or not is irrelevant. They don’t even know their own rulebook.
We need to make adjustments in the middle 6. This is… yikes. First order of business ought to be putting Iafallo back with Lowry.
Bizarre that Arniel never considered putting these two together
This is not the player you give a long term deal to ever. Without Samberg he’s just a bad NHL defenceman.
This one I can’t say I understand hahah. Apparently winning in regulation tomorrow decreases the Jets’ chances of winning the cup.
Colin Miller has been left to play with Stanley and Fleury all season and done a remarkable job. I’m worried that taking him out is gonna cost the Jets dearly. He’s very good!
The Blues have been on a hot streak lately but the peak was against weaker teams here. They don’t scare me that much. The Wild have struggled more lately but with Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek back soon they’re a completely different team. I’m not sure it would matter to me which of the two we play.
Luke Schenn is a major downgrade on Colin Miller. Major. Colin Miller is actually very good and not a player the Jets should at all be looking to replace.
I really don’t care who gets put on waivers. This is a much better bet than Stanley, Fleury, Heinola, etc.
I don’t think the argument is Ville needs to be put in an exact situation to succeed. The problem has always been how can we expect a player to be that good when he barely plays? It’s near impossible to do inference with these sample sizes but there’s *some* good in there with 3 different partners.
Picking up Laughton especially for a significant price would be quite the error by Cheveldayoff. He needs to have a really good trade deadline and acquiring Laughton would be the opposite of that.
