they have also been rebuilding for how long? I think looking at percentage and ignoring the roster he had to work with is not the way to go

That's fair. I'm fine with honestly anybody else. Lauer was not the answer here, that's for sure.

 

[None]

Was he in charge of the PP when he won a cup in LA?

Primary role was with the forwards and power play with LA - Same stats but LA:

19.9% (10th, 12-13)
15.1% (27th, 13-14)
19% (11th, 14-15)
20% (8th, 15-16)
19.1% (15th, 16-17)

16th overall in that timespan, Jets were 28th.

Unleash the POWERKILL.... except this year that will refer to our penalty kill not our power play. Hopefully

I'm bracing myself for similar numbers on both PP and PK - both really low.

Yes, I'm a pessimist.

 

[Buffdog]

Jets were 45/240 on the PP last season. It's crazy how one more PP goal every 8 games or so (10 more PP goals) in the same number of chances would put them in the top 10 in the league

Doesn't seem like it would be that hard to do with the talent we have

 

[CorgisPer60]

I have no idea about either of these two guys, so this is a hearty shrug emoji for me. Hopefully the PK is much better this year.

 

[cbcwpg]

Dean Chynoweth... thought that name sounded familiar... remember at the time when the NYI drafted him just 2 picks before Joe Sakic...

But, he's not here to play, he is here to coach, so hopefully these guys can help this team get better numbers.

Looks like he coaches to around the level of his talent on the pp. I imagine for us a mid level pp should be attainable.

Really happy that the other guy runs an aggressive PK.

He usually has pretty valid points

It is great that Arnie got to choose the assistants.
Maurice and Bones didn't.

 

[Mud Turtle]

I see this as great news. Arniel is willing to make the tough decisions. Lauer is gone.
Maybe now we’ll see some movement on both the pp and the pk.

 

[MarkWheeler]

I know nothing about these two guys at all, but just on some quick research it’s hard to get too excited about hiring a guy who ran a poor powerplay in Ottawa to fix…our poor powerplay.

ottawa has been rebuilding for years

He also won a cup running LA's PP, so how much is on personnel?

Gotta take the TNSE brand for that, Arniel took it long ago!

 

[Jets 31]

Nice that we will be running a aggressive PK and hopefully our PP is a Payne in the ass for other teams this year.

 

[Hobble]

Wait, is Reynolds saying our PK was aggressive? How would a passive box be aggressive?

we rolled out the red carpet and allowed them into our zone for free

At least this shows they were willing to let Arneil choose his associate coaches. Now to see if his nose for talent is a good one.

It was passive aggressive

 

[Jets 31]

we rolled out the red carpet and allowed them into our zone for free

And then they never left.

 

[DRW204]

a Davis Payne & Dean Evason combo would have other staffs shaking in their pantaloons

And then they never left.

It was the in-law PK
