Oh! I didn't realize you are a Jets guy!!!
I used to add a bunch of Moose prospect stuff years ago cuz I could see them live a few times each season in Chicago.
I don't think he can skate that slow.
Full marks to you & the other folks here for Posting very respectfully on the HF Jets PGT. More evidence of why I appreciate your Board.

Jake Neighbours had a fun start to the season, but this is the big leagues kiddo. He has no stamina whatsoever. At least Kostin is in shape for the long haul.

Did Neighbors play tonight? Is it too late to send him back? Hope we aren’t messing with his development. He’s clearly not ready.

I feel bad for saying this, but if Schenn can't play he needs to be on the LTIR.
Schenn to LTIR
Rosen to AHL
Neighbors to Juniors
MacMac+Perunovich to NHL
Neal-RoR-Perron
Saad-Thomas-Tarasenko
Kyrou-Barbie-Buch
MacMac-Bozak-Kostin
Perunovich-Parayko
Scandella-Faulk
Walman-Bortuzzo
When Sunny and Krug are ready.

We are putting Perunovich on the first pairing already? I mean, I'm excited about him too, but let's pump the brakes a little here, lol!

Kyrou with Buch and Schenn was dynamic. Schenn looks to be out, but they looked pretty good with Barbie.

That's a lot of moving parts.
Kostin is playing better than Neighbours, but is also fading a bit. His conditioning is better than Jake's, so I'll place more trust in Klim. He needs to sit for one game, though.
I like Dos Maquis, but I'm leaning toward Dakota Ice.
When Krug and Sunny are back, Barbie and Vlad still need to be together and same for Kyrou and Buch. So, for the sake of ease, flip Tarasenko and Buch.
Not sure I wanna see Perunovich at this point in the season and the Blues current situation. Might be a necessity, however, if Mikkola continues to falter. Faulk will be asked to play a more defensive role, if Perunovich is called up.
Bozak needs to sit.

It's probably already been covered, but why was Rivers in for Pang?

I like the look of this. That first line is slow af but at least the other lines can scoot. Maybe Neal would have success with those guys because he doesn’t fit on the 4th line at all.

It's a testament to this team to have a lot of players out, some coming back, and still pulling out a win. Granted, it's solely because of Binnington, but we will need a few of these games every once in a while. Neighbours, unfortunately, has hit a HARD wall. He's not as quick as he was initially, isn't as strong on the puck, isn't creating offensive chances anymore. I wasn't sure how he would hold up long term, but he'll likely be sent down. Some people feel Kostin is slowing down a bit, but I honestly think he's getting into a groove. He continues to hit and be physical, he should've had 2 goals against Anaheim, and he's at least creating chances with Barby and Buch and doing well in the corners once he's dumped it in. Honestly, if he can be more consistent shift to shift in digging pucks out of the corners as well as get more comfortable shooting and passing, then I think he can become a legitimate scoring power forward instead of an energy guy.
Rosen looked awful against Anaheim, and he looked bad on the Connor goal, but I didn't get a chance to watch him for the rest of the game because of work. I'd rather not be playing him, but he made a few heads up plays. ROR might gripping the stick too tight before that shootout goal. Could've had 2 tonight but the timing wasn't there. Hoping he can get back to where he was and get that first line going again. Everyone jokes around here, but we definitely miss Krug. Just moving the puck and getting opportunities in the o-zone and on the powerplay, He really solidifies the left side of the lineup (imagine having a true #1 in front of him).

Good teams find a way to win on their worst nights.

Mikkola continue to faulter ?? He has played in 1 or 2 games. He has more defensive upside than walman

Perhaps a poor choice of words. The Blues had a slot open and ready for him, but he did not take it. One game, two games, whatever. It was his and he failed. Not to say that he will never be on the Blues again, but our track record suggests that Mikkola needs to grab his spot now or else.
Whether Walman is better than Mikkola is not the issue.
That neither Walman or Mikkola have risen to the challenge is the issue.
I don't blame the Blues. They gave those two an opportunity. Still time for Jake and Niko to grow, but we need to act now to get a solid bottom-pairing defenseman.

I just hope for your own sake that he didn't hear you. Berube is a scary man, my friend...you're braver than me yelling at him
Good game tonight. Your d-core looks a lot better, seems like Schmidt is a good fit and Morrissey is gonna have a bounce back year. Enjoy watching Connor light it up this year, I think he can hit 40!
I thought Rosen has looked decent, but you're right we really miss Krug's passing and puck movement from the back end. Agreed on Neighbours, he looks out of place. Not worried about him or his development moving forward, but he's not ready to be an NHL regular yet.
Agree with you on Kostin too. If he can keep up the consistency and not get discouraged when his minutes decline or the puck isn't going in then I think he can really be an effective player for us.
