Is Peluso just going to take that ugly hit from Malkin? Hope he brings some retribution next shift
I can't even believe it. But I guess without Ladd and Little this team is definitely a very good contender for worst team in the NHL.

I love Stemp. I wish we signed him. I really, really do - have always said so.
But...
He's not 1st or 2nd line on the Jets. It's not possible to figure out where he'd have fit in terms of points, given that he would not have had the same opportunity here.
Underrated considering the defense/style the penguins have played with throughout his career
I just can't believe only losing Frolik and Stempniak changed the way the team plays. Obviously our goaltending was much better last year. But the tight checking, defensive first, physical and heavy Jets? What happened to that.

Because you can't translate his points in NJ as points he'd get playing on the 3rd or 4th line in Winnipeg. His production would be different.
At this point, it's pretty clear this team is more than a Stempniak away from being better. It might work out better that he wasn't re-signed after all.

Almost beat them at Consol in Noel's last year. That game was a gong show, some of the worst defensive play and goaltending you'll ever see.

I wouldn't go that far, but very solidly in the bottom 3rd of the league. The center depth right now is pretty bad, but compared to the other tankers like Leafs Columbus Oilers we are better at every position
I'd love to see him signed to displace Thorlusochukurmi.
Time to start clearing the crap out of the bottom 6.

They love Stemper in NJ. They re-sign him for sure. I just wish him the best. For whatever reason Chevy didnt see anything in him.

Chevy would just replace him Burmburnchukeluso.

There's been a sense of something rotting with this team for awhile, since November. But at this point, it can be mostly explained by roster strength.
This team currently looks terrible on paper, and they look just as bad on the ice.

The entire Jets team seems snake-bitten this year. Even Stempniak would not be scoring if he had been signed in the off season.
Just a terrible season, nothing seems to go right. Pinning the other team for two minutes, then the opposition gets one rush and it's in the back of the net. Story of the season. I've seen (or heard) that so many times this year.

Kessel has been a bit of a blow out this year, 38 points with dat contract?
19 goals for $8M per for Kessel
17 goals $850K for Stemp

I don't know ... our roster doesn't look that bad on paper compared to a lot of teams that are above us in the standings including New Jersey. I think most agree that Stempniak would not have been playing on the first line in Winnipeg if Chevy had signed him.
And "on paper" I'd expect Lowry to be the beast he was last season, and Chiarot to be much better as well. We still have lots of good pieces on this team this has just been one of those seasons where everything has gone wrong and confidence is totally in the toilet. I predict a much better season next year with just a few minor changes.
