At this point it wouldn't hurt to put the Swedish meatball line back together as a 4th line.

The plan looks to be to conserve cap space and not risk losing anyone to waivers.
Ya, when you have such a dominant bottom six, you sure don’t want to risk losing anyone…

Honestly I think we are at the point where you run 11 forwards and 7 D... sit Pionk, Schmidt or whoever is playing with they their head up their ass that game and get Heinola back here

Or Chevy trades for another forward upgrade or 2? I get the feeling the organization is giving Heinola some stability and letting him be the big all situation minutes #1 D-man on the Moose. As opposed to being mostly a PB guy in the NHL.

Those bottom 2 lines are still bad. C'mon Chevy we need another couple forwards.

Yup, still need a center and a winger to push the likes of KK and Lowry down to where they belong.

Agree, there isn't anything in that bottom 6 that gives me hope they will win their matchups.

I want to believe... but we have all seen where CSW ends up - padding stats and no D.
Let's hope there's some sort of bounce... that bottom six still looks dead in the water.

I've been wondering if something similar to what PLD went through two years ago was bugging him again. I think it was a groin or a hammie

Fawk, imagine that. Big conference game. Adam Lowry you're up to 2C. Kevin Stenlund 3C. Jets can't even get Gustafsson back on the roster unless someone goes to IR, or they demote Samberg for a game.
Then look at the Kings roster, and imagine how good they will be when they acquire another defenseman, like Chychrun.
At least the Jets will have the edge in net?

Lowry's still 7th among forwards for scoring, and the only shutdown centre the team has. I'd be surprised if he gets pushed down the lineup, since he's not the guy responsible for getting scored on, but the guy preventing the team from getting scored on.
He has 0 goals in his last 33 games. An NHL goalie has more goals than him. Being at 7th when Ur bottom 6 is composed of gustafsson, stenlund, Barron, Khulman, ajf etc whoopdeedoo.

Who's your shutdown defensive zone centre? Stenlund? Max Domi? The Jets need good defensive players to be a good defensive team. If only there was a commitment to being good defensively team wide. I don't think Adam Lowry is easy to score against, that hasn't changed. If he could get Kuhlman off his wing, for Appleton, he might get some chances. He was scoring back when Harkins was on his line, some 33 games ago.
I like @WolfHouse's idea of bringing up Heinola though. I was watching the 1985 Jets vs. the Oilers last night, without Ducky, Bowness behind the bench and Arniel in the lineup, and they gave the Oilers a run in a couple of games, running 7 d-men.
Heinola would improve a PP that is running at about 16% right now. When goals are an issue.
