Interesting going back to the first several pages of this thread and comparing it to now
He’s got the better attitude it seems out of our 2022 first round picks and seems to be reaching the potential initially envisioned

did as deep a dive as i could watching this kid and i’m pretty impressed. to my eye he looks like he slots in to the lineup above Appleton and Baron
i’d like to see him on Lowrys line

They should give him every opportunity to win the 2C job in TC this fall.
KC Lambert Ehlers would be an interesting line. Might need some more size though.

I think Lambert could have a hybrid role, playing RW with Lowry and Nino for long stretches and playing C on the 2/3 line. Reality is that the Lowry line is de facto 2nd line in ice time. Lambert would bring a lot of the attributes of Appleton but faster and with more offensive punch.
Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers
Nino-Lowry-Lambert/Vilardi
Perfetti-Namestnikov-Vilardi/Lambert
Iafallo-Barron-Kupari
Gus
(Yes, Barron at C, maybe)

I highly doubt they dump Appleton. Although if he was with Barron and Iafallo, that would make a great 4th line.
If Lambert makes the leap...
Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers
Perfetti-Namestnikov-Vilardi
Nino-Lowry-Lambert
Barron-Kupari-Appleton
Gus
If the Jets keep Iafallo, then maybe a fourth line of:
Iafallo-Barron-Appleton
They had Barron play a bit of C last season.

Lambert as a winger might hurt his development, like with Roslovic.
Kupari in the NHL still looks weird to me

There’s lots of good options. I don’t hate the idea of this:
Connor-Scheifele-Nino
Perfetti-Lowry-Ehlers
Namestnikov-Lambert-Vilardi
Three balanced lines. I wish to god a Jets coach would try this

Expect the worst, you’ll never be disappointed.
If it was to happen, they would probably give it only 4 shifts.

Faster than orleskys husband, but softer than Dan Robersons gut.
0 we'd have to sweeten with pick.
Mangiapane got a 2nd, I think we could maybe get a 3rd or 4th for AI

He may have more value to the team than in a trade. He's a real Swiss army knife that can slot in anywhere in the line up (although you don't want him in the top six for very long)
He's like a grinder version of Names. Those guys can be super useful
That said, if Chevy needs to clear some salary, he'd be the guy to deal. Somebody would give up something for him
Yeah I think he's one of those unsung guys.
If he can play with the right guys on the 4th line and he can produce 15 40 while not giving up much hes worth keeping. His salary is a bit high though but it's not a big deal.
It depends on the trade timing. I think he would hold higher value at the trade deadline (especially with a bit of salary retention) than he would now. If the Jets trade him now it would most likely be to a rebuilding team with young players to clear some cap space for the Jets, but I wouldn't expect much return (maybe a 4th or 5th). If he has a strong season then he might return a 3rd at the TDL from a contender, especially if the Jets retain. But at that point, the Jets might want to retain him for their own playoff run.

Kupari out, Gus in.
Kup has shown nothing except skating. Should be waived.
A bit strange putting Lowry with Perf and Ehlers, but interesting. Thinking outside the box.

Maybe. Gus and Kupari are the same age, and neither have shown much at the NHL level. I included Kupari mainly because of his right-shot and more speed, which I think the Jets' system demands. However, I like Gus fine and his speed has improved.

Gus has shown he can be a decent 4th liner.
Kupari looks good but accomplishes nothing. Maybe he improves but is that likely at 24 YO?
He's like a Vesalainen clone.
Sucks, I had high hopes for him as maybe the surprise of the trade

I think Kupari is being a bit underrated here. He lacks refinement because he was rushed to the NHL, but he has great wheels, plays an aggressive game, and doesn't mind looking to make plays with the puck. He might be able to carve out a role like Appleton, who didn't really make a dent at the NHL level until he was 24 (Kupari's age going into next season).
