That's too bad. Not sure how Chairot has jumped past Poolman on the depth chart since the start of the year. I get right side vs left but give Poolman a few games on the left with Buff, I think the kid would do just fine, he would not only adjust well but probably thrive playing with Buff.

I like Poolman more than Chiarot for sure but PMo will stick with his known entity.

Some Good Buff Moments
LOL, there is no one in the League that could do half of those things other than Buff.

I predict that your initial prediction was too conservative, and the winning streak continues
i think you look at Poolman having a higher ceiling so you want to give him some tastes.
let's not lie to ourselves. Chiarot's playing some pretty good hockey all things considering (all things being his skill level). i haven't been wowwed by Poolman's game so far. still has a lot to learn. he's playing "hanging in there" hockey and hasn't been as solid in his zone as i'd like. happy he got a taste, and now back to the A for some work.

Yeah but look what happened last time we forced a young rising star to play on their off wing/side....
Except he won't go to the A, he will go to the pressbox if he's not on the ice until Enstrom comes back.
Very much not the same situation. Poolman isn't good enough yet to surplant Buff, Myers and Trouba on the right side. Trouba was. (not that I condone how Trouba did it)

It seems that (on paper) Buff usually improves his partners performance. Poolman's one LHD game was a stinker for the Jets most of the team looked bad and that was with Myers during his shaking of the rust / tire fire stretch.
Let Poolman play 2 or 3 games with Buff and I would assume that he would look good there and give us some better play then Ben. Poolman's up to be resigned this off season so it would be good to know what we have in him and to make sure he likes playing here.

Great GTD again Zham! My favs are Stonehands, Forgotten & AHL Smurf. That Vanity guy is pretty good too. GJG - what a team we are when guys are determined to play properly.

Which one was that? I think Mo has asked all his rising stars to play on their off wing.

Happy its only -15 today so my bus ride home won't be so brutal, excited for this game with the way the Jets have been playing without Scheifs has been very pleasant and I do have a lot of respect for the Avs as everyone wrote them off to start the season yet they have produced a solid first half and continue to surprise. This game could be very close, both teams are young, fast and exciting, hoping for a Jets win. 5-4 Smurfpeg win over the Gargamel's of Denver.

A pint of dark matter, please.
Love the GDT theme!
Here's a random sonnet, to be slathered on liberally:
O thou, my lovely squad, who in this hour
Dost control Time's fickle pucks, his strength, and power;
Who hast by scoring grown, and also show'st
Thy mastery of smothering D as thy sweet self grow'st;
And in thy Nature, exert sovereign mastery o’er the Avs,
As thou goest onwards, will forecheck thee back,
Wheels keeps thee to this purpose, that his skill
May time not disgrace and wretched minutes kill.
And not fear MacKinnon, and even lo! - transform him;
To thou minion of your pleasure.
Helle Boy may detain, yea verily still keep, his puckish treasures:
Our second line’s audit, though delay'd, answer'd must be,
And Little’s quietus explode to render thee.

you know what you have in Poolman.
you have a guy that needs more seasoning and that doesn't have to happen when your team's in a legit top seed hunt.
right now, i'd choose Chiarot over Poolman based on current play. and you know that Enstrom and Myers are made of balsa wood and chewing gum, so that means that Poolman will be back up within a month.
Let him take some of the things he struggles at and work on it with the Moose

Great GDT! 
Last year's Avs had several players with career worst seasons in the same year. This year's look to be the exact opposite with some of those same players having career best seasons. Looks like MacKinnon has arrived as expected.

I don't want to be a bad spirit. GDT and the OP with his insight are artistically great and sincere, representing true art (as far as it can go in this context). Truly. However, Winnipeg Jets is NOT Smurp, and that hidden, between lines hubris makes me uneasy...
Without underlining said above, I hope I'll be wrong.
I don't want eat those mushrooms (anymore).
Go Jets Go!
