I am fine with Stan getting chances now rather than 2 weeks before the playoffs while supplanting a pairing that is working like last season. As long as the Jets decision about who plays on that pairing longterm and who gets waived when Heinola is healthy is based on merit.
I prefer Fleury but Stan gives the Jets size. I don't know a lot about St. Louis's lineup seems like they have some speedy younger guys and a few bigger slower vets.

I hope Stanley plays well. Pionk is playing well so he might be the most hated Jet on these boards.

I don't think anyone is getting waived. If anything might waive Gus and carry 2 extra d-men and to give Heinola sheltered 7th d/PP minutes when he does come back because that's what I'd expect him to get, having proven very little to date.

Fleury is too good of a PKer to lose. I think the Jets want some depth in that role, especially on the left side where there are no prospects to call up. I still think his speed gives an element to the team, that Stan can't bring, but who knows this might be a chippier game than the Jets have played so far. Separated by 2 points in the standings, it should be tight. Hopefully the boys start off the road trip the way they finished their home stand.

I think eventually some moves are going to have to be made when Heinola is ready for action, Fleury's good play might make someone expendable

I dint think there's any way the Jets don't carry 8 D this year. I don’t think anyone would clear and it's beyond stupid to lose defensive depth.
Agreed. They have been forced by waivers to lose players in the past. I would think they want to avoid being in that position again.

Scott Arniel said in preseason that he wants to run a 22 man roster (probably for cap benefits). So I don't know if 8 D is an option under a 22 man roster.

I can’t see that happening if the choice is risking losing someone they don’t want to.
