He's good on a call up for a few games but that's about it. Usually fizzles out after game 5.

Maybe Harkins turned a corner last year. He had 25 goals in 44 games with the Moose last year. That's pretty damn good. I think he deserves a good look this year. He certainly deserved a shift in overtime last night but Bonehead decided he needed a better look at Nino, Namestnikov, Lowry and Appleton.

Every team needs a few energy guys. 4th line should exclusively be guys like this. AJF, Ford and Sonic the Hedgehog would be a top shelf line.The Jets need a energy forward like this guy, reminds me of Tanev and we haven't had a guy like that since Tanev was traded.We have a Chevy , may as well have a Ford too .

Yeah Tanev seems like a good style comp for him. I'd be pretty happy if we got an equivalent caliber player out of him.

Honestly
Connor Scheif Vilardi
Nino Perfetti Ehlers
Iafallo Lowry Apples
Barron Kupari Names
The D is tougher tho
I think you could see a vet moved out here if Ville keeps showing he's improving
Chisholm? I think you waive him. He's not the answer here. Stanley you can waive also, dude is just a mess. I honestly think they both clear. Capo is hurt so maybe IR him for now
Morrissey demelo
Samberg pionk
Dillon/Vile Schmidt/Ville
Run 7 D and get Ford and Gus staying as extra forwards

Lines look good.
Ville I think can play his way onto the team and still be waived, if the chatter about the org still holding out hope for Big Stan is legit (see Murat's recent TC column, etc).
Not sure they risk losing Chisholm, pretty sure they're happy with how Capo handled his PB ringer role last season, tho he may be less chuffed about doing it all again this year.
If I had to guess on D, they either try to squeeze Chisholm through or run the risk of waiving Capo in order to keep the candle burning for Logan Chara 2.0, however implausible it seems.
Ville has the magical waiver exemption, is promised that next year is his year and he's first injury call-up, and heads Moosewards.
Yeah I don't see any way the Jets don't leverage Heinolas waiver exemption, fair or not.

You are missing Heinola showing why he was a 1st rd pick.
A few others looking good, including Salminen and ........... Parker Ford!
Well, if we're going to be honest about it, your forward lineup might work if the 3rd and 4th groups (lines) get equal ice-time. However, based on history, I expect they won't and in my opinion both Barron and Namestikov are better players that Appleton, who I think is one-dimensional (straight-line fast). Of course, this is just one fan's opinion.

It wasn't about losing Mikey. It was who was kept instead.
One game does not a season make, but based on what I mostly saw last night I can't help wondering if Tyrel Bauer is going to make it easier to put Logan Stanley on waivers.

And let’s not try and make him into something he’s not.
He looks like he’s worked hard during the summer and it’s paying off. But his bread and butter will be offense which includes taking some chances. Most of them work out but there will always be a few that go wrong.
I hope the coaches don’t just focus on the few that obviously didn’t work.
Just be happy not paying him and banking the cap would be a win.

Ville gets waived but is still the actual #7. When there is an injury, Ville gets called up and plays. PB guy stays in PB. That's the way to use the waiver exemption.
I'm still trying to figure why they re-signed him. At best he's a 7th defenseman and you can find those for less than they are paying him.

Should have been traded long ago when "you can't teach 6'7"" still carried more value.

Never really understood this organization being smitten with Logan Stanley. But now it's starting to become worrisome. There's a few that offer the same or better options, yet we re-sign the guy and we may wind up losing Chisolm to waivers and - if he demands a trade - Heinola.
It's really baffling.

I was thinking the same as most of you going into camp, that Heinola's contract would keep him in the AHL this year.
I don't think that any longer. From what I have seen, Heinola hasn't just made the team, I believe he has cracked the starting lineup. Yes that will bring tough decisions on the futures of Stanley, Capo, and Chisholm but Ville simply makes us a better team when he is out there. He has arrived and I think the organization knows it too. We might be looking at a scenario where Schmidt is the #7 D and the Jets maybe keep only one of Capo, Stan, and Chisholm, pending waivers.

He's been a lot better than I expected. (low bar)
After another year or two in the AHL he might actually be able to hold his own on a 3rd pair in the NHL. In that case his other talents might be worthwhile.
Unfortunately, until the NHL improves both its rules and its refereeing there will still be a place for enforcers. Bauer is a good one.
If/when the NHL gets serious about protecting the health and the careers of its star players the suspensions for plays like what we saw last night will be measured in years and lifetimes, not games. But there is no sign of them getting serious about it.
Bauer looks a couple of leagues in over his head. He'd be a solid ECHL player. Just a pylon in the NHL...

I don't disagree but I do think there's been flashes that give me some hope that he could eventually stick. Not too dissimilar to how I viewed Stanley about 4 years ago.
The bonus (and difference) is that Tyrel Bauer only cost the Jets a 6th(?) round pick in opportunity cost.
That was part of my point I was making. If you put yourself in a position to lose players to waivers along the way you will lose players you don’t want to lose.
