Where are we at with JP right now? Any news?

He skated with the team today.

He has a long road ahead. Very few players have come back from the type of procedure he had. Patrick Kane is the only one to make it back. Same surgeon did both players.

Also Kane still possesses world class vision, playmaking, and shot abilities. This guy never possessed any of those skills, ever, at an elite NHL level. He did some shit under-20, but not at this level. At least not for any length of time.

I'll take the 6'4 Bison King over Nieto in our bottom six any day.

Yes, he didn't reach his potential, but he was still a useful player when healthy and he's still only 25.

In other words, he's the same age as Drew O'Connor and only Puustinen, POJ and Ludvig would be younger than him on the current roster.

Can I play like an all-star any more?

Of course you can.

Well I couldn't before!

[deakka]

Good. Then he can see some game action!

 

[Kristopher Letang]

The longest of all long shots.

Hope it works tho.

 

[Goalie_Bob]

This team is so bereft of prospects that it is worth the shot. And yes, I would agree he is beyond the prospect stage of his career.

 

[Ulf5]

The longest of all long shots.

Hope it works tho.

So true. But like Dubas said, this is the next step of the process. See how he handles a few WBS games. If it goes well, maybe he gets a Pens' contract.

 

[The Old Master]

The longest of all long shots.

Hope it works tho.

not much hope but if he's willing to go through the abuse. you got to pull for the guy.

 

[mattihp]

How did his first AHL game look?

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]

How did his first AHL game look?

Minus 1, roughing penalty. No clue how he looked though.

Also Kevin Porter is an assistant coach. First time I ever fired up the ole ahl website in the last 20 years.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

If his size led to some screen goals that'd be nice, even if he's not getting points himself. Don't believe that's part of his game though.

That was a big part of his game in Edmonton.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Good. That would be very helpful. This team can't finish to save their lives. Need to take the goalie's eyes away.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

I feel like he mostly screened goals because he really had no idea where to be and was mostly just in the way.

If Fartjuiceparty was a LW I'd be curious about this more, but I really don't give a shit as we have a RW that deserves 100% more of a shot than Jesse does.

In 17 games he had 2pts while getting a lot of chances in Carolina. Meanwhile Puustinen is getting f***ed over and has produced better than Jesse's stint in a new scenario. Throwing him on the top line unearned is dumb, 0pts in 2 games so far, lol.

I mean you'd think they ease him in with a few shifts on the 3rd line, then to the 2nd line for the rest of the game and assess after that and go with a different approach for the 2nd game and moving forward. But nah...

 

[The Old Master]

good, sully will play him at point on the pp and on the pk.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

good, sully will play him at point on the pp and on the pk.

All Sully cares is that he's a veteran in comparison to Puustinen and will demote him for Poopjuicefarty for no reason.

 

[Lambo]

My prediction his future is not in NA. Maybe in NL(Switzerland).

Wow. AHL defensemen look like pylons.

 

[BusinessGoose]

Nice semi breakaway... Somehow... Cause he did not look fast at all

It looked an awful lot like when the opposing team tried to give me a pity goal at hockey bockey (Swedish shinny with a bandy ball) but I fanned on the ball..
