Everyone that’s not sheif Wheeler and connor could have the same beef as heinolaIf I were Heinola, I would ask for a trade for the way he’s been handled.
One thing this has proved, is Maurice was so completely full of shit when he repeatedly said how tight the room was. How many times did he say “the room is tight, it’s a tight group in there”.
Man that guy was a snake oil salesman of the highest order.
Yep. His snake oil was so good that he managed to quit on the team AND GET PAID OUT FOR IT!!! He snake oiled all the way to the bank.
I guess this could be the reason Maurice walked away ... the players had enough of him.
Different rules for different players would cause a mutiny.
Scheifele used to say all those things repeatedly. I will never trust a word any of these guys say ever again, i'm too hurt.
Totally agree and Chevy or Chipman or both were quite happy with him, Maurice quit Chevy or Chipman or both didn't even fire the guy. Chevy and or Chipman are just as much at fault here as Maurice if not more.Well they aren’t going to trade half the team so a few people need to relax in here. If guys like Svechnikov and Ves want out, who gives a crap really. Svech was brought in on a PTO ffs and Ves hasn’t done a single thing to prove he’s worthy of an NHL roster spot. Dillon, replaceable, Schmidt, replaceable. There might be a couple of big moves like Scheifele, but the rest are going to be the natural turnover you see in a lot of rosters, especially unsuccessful ones.

Kompon is the one I'm concerned about - with his wife's situation hope he maintains good health insuranceI know I'm sure HF Jets board memebers are attacking the titles and positions of these people. (coaching staff etc) But Lets remember these are human beings.
He's also been with Chevy since CHI.maybe we kept Flaherty to maintain that relationship with helle
If we're trading Scheif and Helle we may as well blow it up because we are not going to be contending for a few years minimum.
Identify who is going to be here long-term, move the rest and rebuild around the long-term guys.
Ehlers, Connor, Perfetti, PLD (hopefully), Samberg, Morrissey, Heinola.
If you get a good return on Helle and Scheif then add those assets in, a high 1st round pick in 2023 draft (which is stacked), and you could turn it around fairly quickly.
Honestly though, if this is a rebuild why wouldn’t we deal Hellebucyk now when he’s in his prime and decent value? He’s not going to be in his prime when the new core is ready to contend. A Helle trade could be a great kickstart to a rebuild.Marek name dropped Helle again too in the segment. I think he must be another that has made his displeasure well known, but that TNSE would be unwilling to move him unless another team offered the world.
Heinola hasn't proven himself, guy looked mostly overwhelmed, Samberg is the real deal though!There is still a lot of time to cut out the rot and make players buy in again before the puck drops. Attitude and buy-in are crucial, and can be the main determinant themselves. Step one is hiring an accountable coaching staff.
Scheifele - be gone
Wheeler - demotion or buy-out
Vesalainen - he’s barely AHL material
PLD - should be coaxed to stay and given a large role
Stastny - not convinced he wants out
Hellebuyck - give him a defence this year
Heinola - give him 2nd pairing minutes
Schmidt - seems like a good guy, but a massive liability this year. I’m fine if he wants to leave.
Dillon - likewise.
Svech - not sure he gets many takers
I would be okay doubling back to Copp, and maybe even Laine in a trade for Scheif.
Morrissey - Pionk
Heinola - De Melo
Samberg - Chisholm/Gawanke/Kovacevic
Stanley
We could still use a #1 on the right but they’re hard to come by.
