Speculation: 2024/25 Trade Rumours, Speculation etc Thread

According to money puck the Jets second line has 11 GF this year with one of their Fwds having 0. The other two top 9 lines have 13 GF each.

Yet the player with 5/11 goals is the problem.

Yeah I don't agree that anyone on that line is a big problem. We are a .800 pts % tram right now. We can use some of that good grace to let a young guy play his way out of a slump.

I'm not opposed to Perfetti being a trade chip for a dman. Beats sending our former top ten pick to the press box again.

In all honesty the second line has played better the last 10 games then they did the first 13. They are generating a lot more and giving up less. But they have seen a regression towards the mean in terms of their finishing. They were never going to continue to finish on 12% of their shots that they did the first 13. They also aren't going to continue to finish on the 7% of their shots they have the last 10 games either. They will likely trend back up towards 9%.

The third line will start to see a regression in their finishing as well as they were also finishing around 12%.

Names on pace for 51 points, Perfetti on pace for 55... Names possession numbers are pretty strong - I wouldn't mess with things too much

I still prefer the Nino-Names-Ehlers line but Im also not sure Perfetti is ready to play a shut down role against the opposition top guys

Perfetan is playing a shutdown game against the Jets, the pretend top sixer belongs on the 4th line!

I think it's important to emphasize they aren't hurting us much, even when they are not scoring...

5 goals against in 23 games

This year, and last year combined from moneypuck:
57 games
400 minutes
22 goals
11 goals against

Not expected goals, not advanced stats, not per minute, just how this trio is doing on the scoreboard.

We should start discussing them like they are part of the engine driving this team, not one of the pieces holding it back

Still disappointing you never picked up on Confetti as his nickname

One thing to consider for the Jets is that they have a particular style and system, and they need players that can fit in (especially if they are in the bottom-6. Appleton isn't great, but he's fast and smart on the forecheck and he's not expensive. The Jets made the mistake last year of acquiring Monahan and Toffoli and they didn't play the high-pace, high pressure style that had been so effective. I think that they could plug Chibrikov or Lambert into a winger position this season and they would do fine. If they are going to go for a big upgrade, it should be for a big, fast and effective 2C (for Ehlers and Perfetti) or a difference-maker on D (instead of DeMelo, maybe). The only caveat is that it would probably be Miller that would end up in the press box and he's actually been been one of the better D for the Jets. DeMelo has struggled a lot this s season, but will likely not be benched if they acquire another D.
