Ray couldn't keep it between the lines...

 

[None]

Agree. He was always more of an offensive / skill guy who just happened to be 6’7”.

But now we have skill guys who are far more skilled, stronger all round and less risky, even if they are shorter.

But I am expecting the inevitable “The Jets are committed to Logan Stanley“ line to pop up in a Murat piece.

They've clearly tried getting him to play more physically but it doesn't work when he puts himself out of position to make any contact and doesn't have the speed to get back.

It's kind of bizarre how they've handled his development.

He's never been a naturally edgy player... not in his nature...

I kind of feel like he might've been adding it to his game because he knew he needed to bring something more. I feel like it might've hurt his game more than helped because as I said, he has no speed to get back into position when he puts himself so far out of position to make any contact in open ice.

Very fair to say...

I'm impressed with Kupari's speed and agility. Has some decent vision as well. Good cycle and possession by the 4th line.

What the, Mark Stuart is coaching for the Oilers?

Defensive strategy specialist...in the face of pressure...

Chip it out off the glass...

 

[Jetabre]

last season as well

Had no idea, had to do a double take when he popped up on screen

 

[surixon]

That kid line getting crushed tonight.

 

[John Agar]

The Jets have fallen asleep...

Just like HF Jets in this period...

Always go for the hit, no matter the cost!

My first impression is that he's just another dime a dozen depth forward. Shawn Matthias, Matt Halischuk, Axel Jonsson-Fjallby, Mason Appleton

 

[surixon]

4th line looking like it will be a solid line.

Salomonsson can really make a stretch pass. Pretty impressive game from him.

Tree gonna eat alot of popcorn this year...

Probably figured it was thebonly chance to get him in. He clearly was never skilled enough to make it as an offensive first guy.

 

[jungles]

Capo > Stanley. Change my mind.

I wish we didn't have to send him back to Sweden if he doesn't make the NHL. I feel like he could be the 1st RHD call-up and just never look back.

 

[Jetabre]

Stanley defending a 2 on 1, clench-worthy stuff.

 

[surixon]

Real bad stepup by Cappo there.

 

[Highway1]

Oh my. Stanley. Lol

Likely what happened. We've seen that it's basically impossible to break into the lineup as an offense-first defenseman, or at least a perceived offense-first defenseman.

Always go for the hit, no matter the cost!

I forgot about that...
