That might get us one.tTypical answer around here
Perfetti, Stanley a 1st and a bagel.
We'd have to give up a lot more to get both.

Okay I’ll upgrade to a donut with sprinkles.That might get us one.

Still rather have Miller (offside) or Fleury ahead of Stanley.1st + Heinola + ?
For Laughton and Risto @50%
Connor - Scheifele - Vilardi
Ehlers - Lowry - Iafallo
Perfetti - Laughton - Nino
Barron - Names - Appleton
Morrissey - Risto
Samberg - Pionk
Stanley - DeMelo
You might rather, but, more realistically I think Flappy’s line up is more likely what they’d do.Still rather have Miller (offside) or Fleury ahead of Stanley.
What pairing is Ristolainen on in Philly? I don’t know that he immediately supplants DeMelo.
He's on the 2nd pairing right now, playing behind sanheim on his offsideStill rather have Miller (offside) or Fleury ahead of Stanley.

I did not realize he is a RD that plays LDHe's on the 2nd pairing right now, playing behind Manheim on his offside

Sorry, meant sanheim on his offside Risto is a rightyI did not realize he is a RD that plays LD
definitely doesnt look too bad
which is weird the gap control thing as you know Stan will be playing over d with better gap control. Good point bout Kupari.The Jets have one of the best defensive systems in the NHL and it relies a lot on closing gaps. I think Risto would fit well in the system because he is big and fast and closes gaps. He would add a more physical D that can get stops in board play and control the net-front.
He's not good offensively but that might be okay since his role would be more to shut down some of the big, fast forward groups in the Central. In a way, he's like a Kupari on D. Kupari lacks offensive polish but his speed and size helps the Jets smother opponents by taking away time and space when he's on the ice. As a purely defensive forward, Kupari is actually one of the Jets' best.

I think Arniel and coaches are pushing Stanley into the lineup for three reasons. 1) they think the rest of the Jets' D lacks size and can't handle big forward rosters along the boards and net-front; 2) they want a player other than Lowry available for fighting, if necessary; 3) they don't want Morrissey on the PK and think Stanley is better than Heinola, and possibly Fleury in that role.which is weird the gap control thing as you know Stan will be playing over d with better gap control.

Stan doesn’t fight that often. I’ll believe Stan isn’t a part of regular line up when k see it.I think Arniel and coaches are pushing Stanley into the lineup for three reasons. 1) they think the rest of the Jets' D lacks size and can't handle big forward rosters along the boards and net-front; 2) they want a player other than Lowry available for fighting, if necessary; 3) they don't want Morrissey on the PK and think Stanley is better than Heinola, and possibly Fleury in that role.
I think Risto addresses the first and most important need. Risto can also PK and that might free Pionk from that role. They might need to consider another LD, but maybe Fleury or Heinola can succeed alongside a bigger RD like Risto.
Fighting is a rare need. Risto isn't a fighter, but isn't a shrinking violet. He is a big physical presence. In any case, if the Jets need a fighter during the regular season, better to use Stanley sparingly for bitter matchups or add a 4th line forward in that intermittent role.
