Player Discussion: dylan samberg

[Joe Hallenback]

He is something we are missing with all the departures the past year. Size,skill and Mobility. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up playing with Pionk next season

 

[surixon]

OK for all of you guys that were panicking, saying trade him, despite every sign the kid was happy to join the Jets REMEMBER THIS FOR NEXT TIME .

Lol, well I was never that concerned that we'd be able to sign him but did include him in some proposals for a young top 6 center as you have to give to get.

He's a nice addition to the teams defense and gives us a different type of skill set for the top 4. I hope Heinola is back next year and plays for the Moose where they convert him to RD.

I like the looks of this in the future top 4:

Morrissey Heinola
Samberg Pionk

I am hopeful that next season looks like

Morrissey DeMelo
Samberg Pionk (by mid season or sooner)

I know some people are wondering how Samberg will adjust but I am not that worried. He is going into his Draft +4 season which is the same year Morrissey joined the Jets. On top of that Dylan is physically developed so that won't be an issue. Lastly its not like he is bumping a rock star out of that spot (notwithstanding possible summer acquisitions). My guess is Heinola is 1 to 2 seasons away but who knows.

I agree PS.

And there’s really no need to rush Heinola. He can play next year in NA, or stay in Europe another year. He just needs time for his body to mature, his game is pretty sound.

Edit: signing DeMelo would solve the short-term issue of needing another RH Dman in the top 4. A 3-4 year deal would allow a draft pick to develop into that role.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Are we even allowed to have good news anymore???

I am so glad this kid signed. Given our D, do you folks figure he's a lock to play on the big club next year?

 

[Buffdog]

Extend DeMelo now please

That is how I see things by the middle of next season. Not sure if Samberg will immediately make the top 4 but I think he grows into the role throughout the year.

I also agree about Heinola. He likely needs atpeast another year of seasoning imo.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I could see him playing on the right side with Morrissey, but I could see him having amazing chemistry with Neal Pionk.

The other thing I can imagine happening is Travis Hamonic taking a massive long-term discount.

 

[Jets 31]

Haven't seen much of him and the NHL is a whole different game from college but i always have faith in our scouts and Chevy so i'm happy . Hope he's the next Trouba . The Dude likes this .

I think i would rather have DeMelo than Hamonic .

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

Play him with heinola on the moose for the first half of the season and then bring them up together when injuries happen

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

I think i would rather have DeMelo than Hamonic .

I'd take both, but we don't know what the cap will be long-term. Signing Hamonic for cheap is possible, but also possibly harmful over a 3-4 year period if the cap goes down by a few million.

 

[EXTRAS]

Very nice news.

A young d core of Morrissey, Pionk, Samberg and Heinola looks pretty solid on paper.

Maybe one day Niku will be allowed to play too.

 

[rubikscube]

Morrissey-Pionk
Samberg-DeMelo
Hamonic-Poolman/Niku
Beaulieu

All of a sudden we have a decent d-core

 

[larmex99]

Maybe one day Niku will be ALLOWED to play too.

You spelled “good enough” wrong.

A roster spot on "flow" alone is not a given, he has upside but he game needs a little more work.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Great news. Now the chicken little's can stop trying to trade him.

I posted a trade question yesterday - but not a Chicken Little one.

Glad he is signed now. Even if a trade would be a good one, I think it is moot now as Chevy is not the sort to sign a young player like that and then flip him.

Samberg is NHL ready. Heinola will be a top pairing stud, but likely starts with the Moose next year.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Good news that he is a Jet now.

Now go out and sign DeMelo Chevy!
And while you are in the office, give Brisebois a call and get Cirelli. Then you can go back to the cottage and put your feet up.

 

[Adam da bomb]

Morrissey-Pionk
Samberg-DeMelo
Hamonic-Poolman/Niku
Beaulieu

If we sign harmonic are u giving him to Vegas when we can only protect 3 or are forced to give a high pick to protect him?

 

[Whileee]

Great news. Samberg is just what the Jets' D needs - a big, minute-munching defensive D that can limit high danger scoring chances and move the puck efficiently. I think he might be ready to step into a top-4 role and core PKer fairly soon.

A reminder about his game, from an article from February 2019 by Mitch Brown in the Athletic... Why Jets prospect Dylan Samberg has the making of a...

Note that Samberg has put in another season of experience, and was the top D on UMD in ice-time this past season, while also ramping up his point production to 0.75 points/game.

 

[Adam da bomb]

You can’t be strong every position. I’d rather have a good top 4 d than a good 2c. Let ehlers carry a weaker centre as csw dominate league.

 

[Atoyot]

Maybe one day Niku will be allowed to play too.

I'm with you that he hasn't been given a chance, but if it didn't happen last year when our lineup featured players like Bitetto, Sbisa, Dahlstrom, and Beaulieu I don't think it's going to happen. I hope he gets traded, I'm curious to see what he can do in this league.
