Exactly. Thank you!


Yes we missed out on him because we wanted him and didn’t get him. That’s a weird thing to argue about. If chevy was comfortable with Names at 2C I wonder what position he wanted Nelson to play?

You can't miss out on something you had no chance of getting

Go to a bar in LA filled with supermodels... I'm pretty sure you won't be saying you "missed out" on picking one up when they all turn you down

Pfft maybe he won't but I don't have that problem, I pick up LA supermodels on a daily basis like it ain't no thang.

Oh, so they utilized their LHD top end skill and depth to optimize pairings and cover for their RHD deficiencies?

Heiskanen is a freak of nature. One of the best defenders in the league when healthy. Harley is also coming into his own as an elite dman. Lindell is a safety blanket type of partner. I gave that left side their deserved flowers.

Anyways, my entire point was based on what's at their disposal.  If the Jets had a RHD depth chart of Lyu, Ceci and Dumba, there would be fans pissed off if nothing was addressed heading into a Cup run.

I'm not sure what's outlandish about that.

Maybe Im misinterpreting but you were using Dallas as an example of crappy RHD depth... except without their injuries they are not.

We have crappy RHD and LHD depth with zero injuries...

The teams we have to compete with to get to the cup finals have very solid D-cores - ie third pairing is not an afterthought.

Toews-Makar
Girard-Manson
Malinski-Lindgren
Johnson

Middleton-Faber
Chisholm-Spurgeon
Bogo-Merrill
Jiricek/Brodin

Vegas and Edmonton depend on Theodore and Ekhom getting healthy... then they are deeper than us as well.

I agree that waiting until the deadline to overpay for whatever is available isn’t a great option. It’s also indicative of a team that wasn’t good defensively. I’m not sure we’ve solved that issue either.

It’s easy for people who bristle at any criticism to point out the team is doing very well. But it’s also a fact that Names is not a 2C on any other team. Missing out on Nelson and pretending we never needed him anyway is silly.

Not good defensively? The Jets are in first in the league and have given up the least amount of goals in the entire NHL. Every other team wishes they had their defensive problems.
