At the end of the day the Jets always play it safe.

He doesn't need waivers, their other PB level F's do. See you next year barring multiple long term injuries to F's. Moose are looking pretty damn good this year if Salo goes down too eventually.

Agreed. But I really don't see how relevant a few game sample of advanced stats in preason is. It doesn't say much of anything.

I agree preseason doesn't matter for Vets, but wasn't the narrative he needed to show he could play well in the NHL during the preseason?

Well he showed it. If he were one of the worst F's in preseason people would be using it to say he wasn't ready .

I get they're afraid to lose Kupari or Gus. Again, they love to play it safe.

I think BBB earned a few games to start the season, esp given the Q of C in that first stretch of games. Chibby also.

I get kpping Salmo up given the crapness of the D in early showings, though no idea how Coughlan has stuck around so long given his play.

Hopefuly C and L can dominate the A early on and come back in as callups as the injuries mount up.

Arniel looking like a safe pair of hands atm.

Anyway I'm likely to get to watch only a handful of games over the year, except when on vacay. Hope the Jets and Moose get off to strong starts.

Oh Agreed on that. Thought he got better as camp went on and put himself in a spot to be the 1st callup. If Namestnikov doesn't gwt it done I'd be calling him up early in the year.

 

[Skidooboy]

GODDAMNIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Kid did the job. and it feels like we could have him in the lineup today and be better than we are without him.

It won't be long until he is called up IMO. Either things just won't work with the players starting , or more likely, injuries will happen. But, I think one thing Lambert needs to improve on is not taking lazy hooking penalties when he finds himself a step behind..

pfft...

if were pointing spotlights on single plays and calling that a reason to hold someone back...... ..then Ehlers should be in the ECHL after his defensive play in every single shift of the playoffs last year

But I miss Blake Wheeler!

 

[buggs]

But I miss Blake Wheeler!

Just think of it as vintage Jets 2.0 style. Lazy hooking penalties were all the rage at one point...

 

[Thechozen1]

Speaking of Wheeler, wonder if/when someone will sign him.

In camp I wondered if he'd get the call with an injury in the top 6. The good news is that it looks like he might get a look there

The bad news is that this might mean that Ehlers is out longer term

 

[Moloch]

This is a huge opportunity for brad and I hope he really comes out firing on all cylinders.

 

[Jetabre]

Big opportunity for Brad. Show us what you got!

 

[KingBogo]

Too bad for Ehlers. Big opportunity for Lambert.

 

[BoneDocUK]

Here's hoping that BBB can pull a Connor and run so far so fast with his chance that he sticks as a Jet forevermore.

Also hoping he plays well and doesn't get clocked by some St Loo goon.

 

[blueandgoldguy]

Pretty excited for Lambert. I hope he gets a legit chance...not like 10 minutes a night.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Lambert < chibrikov? Or is this a positional need?
