About as chalk as the forward lines could be. Zero changes. Zero surprises.
Scheifele line...
Lowry shutdown line...
Untrusted "scoring" line...
4th line for leftovers...

His defensive metrics here and in LA suggest he is a top defensive forward. He seemed to help most lines he was on.
I see the value in having him replaced for his salary but that would likely require moving out picks with him, as you said.
he wasn't at practice today no update yetIs JAD also still here?

I am shocked! Shocked! by these line combos.
Sure generates excitement for the fanbase, doesn't it? I know it isn't the coach or GMs job to sell tickets, but if I am a fan on the fence for attending games (not describing myself...I will go regardless), a chance to see some young prospects might move the needle. I can't imagine a less inspiring sales pitch than "same team that wilted in the playoffs, but maybe slightly worse!".About as chalk as the forward lines could be. Zero changes. Zero surprises.

Vilardi racked up some bad metrics when he was on the same line as Scheifele and Connor last season at 5v5.How transferrable are defensive metrics from team to team, system to system?
Vilardi for instance had great defensive metrics with LA but the info I saw had him below average on the Jets
I didn't really see top defensive forward (top relative to what /whom) from Iafallo last year tbh.

In 197 minutes together, Vilardi was 70.67 CA/60, 3.94 GA/60, 3.60 xGA/60.
In 154 minutes without, Vilardi was 57.12 CA/60, 1.17 GA/60, 2.01 xGA/60.
There's just no one on CSV who can push play the other way enough to overcome their shortcomings.
Last season the Jets were at their best and moved way up the standings without that top line, and they struggled when they put Connor and Scheifele back together.We just came off a season with 110 points. I don't think they need to do much to the lineup. If it doesn't go right its far easier to bring in your younger guys then.
The reason they have trouble selling tickets is a much more far reaching problem for society in general then they need an "exciting" team for people to come out too and watch.
Yeah, Ehlers seems to be good enough at zone exits and entries to tilt the ice the other way when he's on with Connor and/or Scheifele.Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Ehlers with KC/Scheif get it to positive numbers?
Couldn't agree more with all of this.Last season the Jets were at their best and moved way up the standings without that top line, and they struggled when they put Connor and Scheifele back together.
I'm okay seeing how they start with that top line but I can't help thinking they are leaving some value on the table by not augmenting Lowry's line with more scoring on RW. We got a glimpse of Nino's scoring last night with Ehlers and then Vilardi setting him up for goals. If Scheifele's line struggles defensively in the first 15-20 games, Arniel needs to have the fortitude to break them up.
At least the PP looks like it will score more this season. Without Dillon in think they'll need more offense to offset a likely dip in defensive performance.
As I said this org has a template and they haven't moved off it in over half a decade no matter who the coach is.
Fans tend to want to see the “young prospects” until they actually have seen them. Then, maybe not so much.Sure generates excitement for the fanbase, doesn't it?

3 months ago, who would have thought we'd be talking about Lundmark possibly being claimed. I'd say 60/40 he clears, but at the same time he'd be a good pickupHopefully Lundmark makes it through. Whether or not he can some day fill in as a 3rd pair guy, it would be good just to have the depth in case of injuries, and also to help with the Moose.
