He has it in him to be dangerous with motion and switches in the ozone.
Declan seems to be the type that can spearhead a bottom pairing with his game. I think he gets another opportunity next year and makes a lot of noise with it.
I wish the Jets could have the movement the Moose had on the PP. I'm not sure the Jets have ever moved like the Moose do.
I hope the next coach gives him the chance. Under Maurice he'd probably see that Chisholm has offensive talent and he'd end up getting locked into a top 4 or bust role.
Heinola, Samberg and Chisolm all look ready to contribute in some way for the Jets next year. Kovacevic could even get a few games with some luck. Jets need to move one or two of the expensive vets (Schmidt is who I would move) because Heinola and Chisolm can do what he does for a fraction of the cost. Samberg easily takes Stanley's spot.
Barron and Reichel will play games in the bottom six. Barron could push for a regular 3rd line role and Reichel will need some injuries etc to the Jets to see more than a few spot games.
Impressed by Samberg, Chisholm, Heinola
Unimpressed with basically everyone else and every forward besides Barron.
I expected more from Gustaffson tbh
He missed last few regular season games and wore a yellow, non-contact during practices the week prior to the start of game 1. Based on how he played he was 100% dealing with an injury but trying to play through it. Will find out tomorrow at end of season media availability.Gus : 5GP - 1A
Was at all the home playoff games, and I was expecting more as well from Gus. Maybe the Gus Bus was stuck in the garage?
As for the team, I know we were missing Perfetti which obviously could have made a difference, but JMO, I saw no one in the forward group other than Barron, based on their play, that you could point to when you needed a goal.
Malott had 1 point in 5GP, Eyssimont had 1 point in 5GP, Gus had 1 point in 5GP
Chisholm also sent a beauty back-door pass that the forward failed to convert.Heinola set up 2-3 golden cross ice chances in the latter half of this game and the Moose just don't have the shooting talent to capitalize on those setups.
Samberg set one up in the last 5-6 minutes too.

Doesn't really matter. Whoever won this series was just destined for a beatdown by the Wolves.The over hyped Manitoba Moose could only manage 2 wins in a 5 game series to a team which finished below them in the standings!
So much for the long playoff run....more True North wishing on a star!
Gus is really having shit luck with all these different injuries. Given that he was able to play with this one, I'm hoping it wasn't too bad and he can recover and get close to a full offseason of summer training in.I didn't think Gus looked all that good in the playoffs either, but now hearing he was playing at all with a high ankle sprain, that says a lot.
Forgot to add this:
Still hasn't been confirmed by Jets or Moose.
