Billeck failing to mention Sip incessantly hounding Perfetti and Ehlers on this board as one of the reasons that the 2nd line got going.

Hope now he can work his magic on Vilardi.

“I’ve never, ever said I wanted to play 20 minutes,” Ehlers said. “I’m fine with 16. It’s when it gets down to 11 and 12, that pisses me off. And I said that many times. It’s not a secret. When it gets lower, that’s when it’s frustrating because I can’t get into the games. I’ve played in this league long enough and played well enough to deserve more.

I thought this line was also interesting:

“The 16 minutes are great for me. I’m not a guy that needs to play 20-22 minutes. When lines do that, you don’t get the whole team involved and you need the whole team to win games in the long run.”

Exactly

Maybe it's Ehlers who doesn't want to play with Schief?

Nobody's really considered that

Yup, I've been a proponent of the top 3 lines each getting 16 to 17 and the fourth getting 9 to 12

Montreal GMKH is apparently making calls, now I really don't want to trade Nik but if he has made the Jets aware that he is not re signing and walking to Free Agency then what better place to trade him to than where his big buddy is.

My guess is that they would be looking for defense, not more forwards. They are dead last in most defensive metrics.

I think they need help at forwards too, almost last with SOG and 24th with GPG. The problem with their D is with exception of Savard and Matheson they are very young and inexperienced, plus they keep putting jack ass on the ice
