Player Discussion: Ehlers

[Weezeric]

Shed the non contact Jersey. No comment on the lines

Love the lines! Now play the top 9 equal minutes.

Nice to see Ehlers back.

 

[Mathil8]

So glad to have Ehlers back, any word on Perfetti?

 

[Jets 31]

Could give us 3 really good lines but i would like for Ehlers to be on the 1st PP instead of Wheeler . Just happy to have Ehlers and his speed back , he's way faster than Laine.

Our most skilled player.
Get him on PP ahead of 26.

Awesome to get Ehlers back
I don't love the lines but I'm fine with not breaking up the good combinations yet

Nice to have the little Dutch kid back! I guess 3rd line with Lowry and Copp until he gets his sea legs under him. Probably replaces Stastny shortly with 55 and 26.

My dream (today, changes often) (lines aren't 1-3, just 3 scoring lines):

Harkins-Scheif-Wheeler
Connor-Dubois-Svech
Copp/Stastny-Copp/Stastny-Ehlers
Toninato-Lowry-Brooks/Ves

Top 9 has obvious weak links. If we go behind, load a top 6, otherwise be dangerous every shift.

Before anybody mentions Lowry scoring more than Harkins, Harkins scores a bit less than double what Lowry does per minute 5v5.

And yes I'm not a fan of keeping Wheeler and Scheifele together either but even in my dreams I sometimes have to make concessions.

Agreed, just want three scoring lines and this has potential.
With Perfetti back I would love to see the Jets run
91-55-27
81-80-71
9-25-26
12-17-93/21.

Honestly, that’s possibly 4 lines that can score. Especially when you consider the match ups that 4th line would typically get.

That's one of my favourite lineup suggestions - potentially very dangerous offence

Very curious to see what happens with our lines when Cole also comes back. Especially if he is back prior to the deadline.

Imagine if he played PP1...

The problem is the coaches we've had, can't imagine it, and seem to have no idea of the talent this guy Ehlers has. In my opinion he's a for sure 90 point per year man if used properly. You can't get better young wingers than Ehlers and Connor, and both are fantastic.

We need a coach that recognizes talent, and deploys it properly. There has been a real problem with this in Ehlers case, but no so much Connor.

Imagine if he played PP1...

He has been playing on PP1 and he’s doing the exact same thing he does on PP2, get the puck at the blue line, skate in on the left side and shoot.

It’s almost like 5v5 slot shot volume has no barring on the PP.

Its been three games since he replaced Wheeler on PP1 and he has a goal and an assist. Our power play is cycling now and looks totally different.

I never said he can’t produce on PP1? I said he does the same thing on PP1 as he does on PP2 and that 5v5 shot volume has nothing to do with the PP.

If you’re going to say he “replaced” any player it would be Scheifele not wheeler considering he's playing more or less in Scheifele’s spot.

Of course PP1 is going to look different when 40% of the players on it are different.

As I continue to say he should be the 2nd player over the boards for the PP#1 right after Kyle Connor. This is a mind numbing blind spot of our coaching staff. Zone entries are critical for the PP and we have one of the best in the league on the bench watching. Dynamic offensive weapon waisted.

To be fair though, he looks pretty small waisted…..

And by some people they mean the entire coaching staff since he was drafted.

No no you see they've figured out how to maximize his production because he gets super tired when he plays too much toi

Shhh Mark Scheifele is suddenly our 1C again...
