DiVincentiis with a nice little bounce back to start of 2024 on back to back nights with back to back wins for North Bay.
Thursday Saves 25/27
Friday Saves 21/23
McGro is 1-2 years away... so ease lambery in as 4C i. 2024... then 2025-26 looks likeHow do the jets get their younger players into the lineup next year without letting vets walk. I can see schmidt getting bought out, but there is no way we get better by losing demelo of dillon. Up front lambo, chib, and mcgroarty will be knocking on the door, those guys are middle six players, I don’t see much room in the middle six, or expiring contracts for them to step into.
That could work next year. No way that McGroot spends two years in the A though. I think he would be ready next year if they were not already so deep. I guess with Schmidt getting bought out that makes a bit of space on D, its not so backlogged once he has moved on.McGro is 1-2 years away... so ease lambery in as 4C i. 2024... then 2025-26 looks like

Maybe mcGro as 2C or 4C - if lambert and chib have chemistry I'd leave them togetherThat could work next year. No way that McGroot spends two years in the A though.

Chibrikovs development in the KHL was weird. IIRC he made his intentions clear that he wanted to be in North America ASAP. In Russia he was bounced from the equivalent of the AHL and ECHL.One thing I worry about Chibs is how much patience he's going to have for staying in NA in the AHL if he isn't called up next season. I think he is the closest of making the NHL rosters out of those guys as he can fit in a checking line role but you gotta think they either have to give him a shot by next season at the latest.
It is quite a conundrum...being an NHL GM is so hard these days.McGro is 1-2 years away... so ease lambery in as 4C i. 2024... then 2025-26 looks like

and before he considers playing out his four years to free agency, i would sign him asapHopefully McGroarty signs in April and becomes an option for the Jets and Moose potential postseason runs
Barlow doesn’t play till 2026, sign ehlers this summer to 6 x 7.25 , let iafallo and apples walk to ufa, sign names, and kupari.It is quite a conundrum...being an NHL GM is so hard these days.
Balancing contracts, CAP compliance and getting the best product on the ice without getting scorched by UFA's leaving or players demanding trades etc.
Just look at the forwards
2023-24 all healthy
Ehlers - Scheifele - Vilardi
Connors - Namestnikov - Perfetti
Nino - Lowry - Appleton
Iafallo - Kupari - Barron
Axel, Gus and Toninato as extras
Iafallo on the 4th line is nuts
Everyone signed next year (Perfetti and Gus RFA's)
2024-25 - big year
Chibrikov and Lambert pushing for jobs
Ehlers - Scheifele - Vilardi
Connors - Namestnikov - Perfetti
Nino - Lowry - Chibrikov
Iafallo - Lambert - Appleton
Barron, Kupari and Gus extras - Axel and Toninato waived
UFA contract year for Ehlers, Iafallo, Appleton, Namestnikov, Axel and Toninato

Apples is the cheaper Iafallo... but Barron and ajf might replace bothIt is quite a conundrum...being an NHL GM is so hard these days.

Appeal of Russia isn’t what it was.One thing I worry about Chibs is how much patience he's going to have for staying in NA in the AHL if he isn't called up next season.

Can't go back for two more years without Jets' permission. Got jerked around a lot while he was there. Not overly concerned.One thing I worry about Chibs is how much patience he's going to have for staying in NA in the AHL if he isn't called up next season.
