GDT: All things training camp

[DRW204]

Yeah, if he can get up to speed for mid November that's really not too bad. I was thinking half a season and then he'd take a while to get ramped up to NHL mid season form


Appleton is awesome, fast tenacious winger playing some of the toughest defensive minutes in the league and scoring 35+ points. Perfect third liner honestly

i am not going to act like there's no conceivable way the Jets may upgrade from Appleton. however, the grouping of him in the category of Gus or Kupari is ridiculous in my view.

Just a further note...I'm really not sure why we kept Iaffalo around to be a 4 million dollar fourth liner. Would prefer more speed/youth there like Kupari, JAD, Chib or Lamberlainen.

Because he gets the job done. Good defensive players aren't pariahs...

After showing struggles, has time run out for Lambert to make Jets' roster?

Aside from a heads-up assist to Simon Lundmark late in the third period, which marked the Winnipeg Jets’ fourth goal in their 5-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday, Brad Lambert wasn’t noticeable in a positive way.

That's what I would roll. I suspect Arniel's gonna do something similar.

Intrigued by what Arniel chooses to do with Lambert. As a fan, I'd rather see a fast, gifted centre like as 4C instead of a guy like Gus, Kupari or Toninato. I suspect Arniel will not choose that and send Lambert down.

It's more logical to have Lambert playing big offensive geared minutes in the AHL and be the first callup when one of our top 6 good down than having him play 10 grinding minutes a night with plugs. JMO.

I was slightly disappointed with Chibrikovs preseason but thinking about it a bit more logically I'd bet the assignment for him was to work on his defensive aspects and puck management.

I can see a scenario where the coaching staff told him they know how skilled offensively he is, but they want to get him to a place where they can trust him all over the ice.

He's shown good maturity and hockey sense, and it's likely they see him as one of those super versatile players who you can put anywhere in the lineup.
