6 in 6, same stat line as McDavid lol (2 more GP )5 points in 5 preseason games, playing mostly with Eller and Puljujarvi. Can’t see how he doesn’t make the team at this point.
Look who's preseason leader.
The Jets are going to put Lambert and Chibrikov in the minors who are both close enough level to Rutger. Crazy strategy - NHL development not being the strategy boggles my brain.Supposedly the Jets are a team full of all stars, and he wouldn’t have been good enough to play for them this season in the NHL.
Jets LW depth... Connor, Ehlers, Perfetti, Niederreiter, Barron, Chibrikov. Ehlers shifted over to RW.The Jets are going to put Lambert and Chibrikov in the minors who are both close enough level to Rutger. Crazy strategy - NHL development not being the strategy boggles my brain.
Yeah, if you're gonna give him a taste, put him in a position to succeed...especially since a power play player (these days...) went down. But things change, maybe he'll find his way onto it...get him even more confident at being able to handle this speed and then if/when he goes back down, he'll have a better sense about what he needs to do in the A...Not on PP2 though, which is dumb.
Going to be interesting to see him in RS.Yeah, if you're gonna give him a taste, put him in a position to succeed...especially since a power play player (these days...) went down.

Yeah, I agree. I thought he held up well. Then again, Puljujarvi was a game away from spinning the puck on his finger hahaGoing to be interesting to see him in RS.
Preseason would indicate a guy who is not fazed by speed of the game or where to be but is weaker than his peers at this level. Makes me wonder about how well he can play his style given he wants to be behind the net, at the net front, and in the slot all shift.
Yes, that's what the trade demand was about.Supposedly the Jets are a team full of all stars, and he wouldn’t have been good enough to play for them this season in the NHL.
They really don’t. They have like 3 or 4 wingers that would make me not gift a spot to an NHL ready first round pick. They have a lot of middle of the league roster filler. Maybe that’s why they don’t succeed in the playoffs. How about taking a different strategy for once and trying to develop some difference makers?Yes, that's what the trade demand was about.
And the Jets DO have pretty good depth on the wing. Enough that they were not going to gift him a roster spot.
