Pretty much the only positive thing Stanley did in that game. He really struggled.
Is anyone still thinking we should use Stanley on the power play?

If Stanley had any control over his shot he'd be a lot more effective. He's awesome at getting it through, not so awesome at getting it to good locations for a goal or a rebound.

I think that would a good idea. He needs to see more mintues to see if he's worth protecting in June.atleast the guy has somewhat of a original nick-name
i think forbort's play has been kinda underwhelming lately, top 4 look for Stanley? please?
I appreciate that sentiment. I definitely do not want to lose Stanley. This does underline a theme of these boards - after all it's called Hockey's Future. Unproven prospects are always valued higher than established players. Sometimes, it's a no brainer, but with Stanley there is still a lot of question marks. He could absolutely turn into the next Chara - no doubt. However, maybe he's peaking right now? I don't think that's likely but it's not out of the question at all. Guys like Myers, Bogosian, and the list goes on and on came into the NHL performing at a much higher level than Stanley is now and then kind of fell into an average or below average player - or a player with a ton of warts.
In a normal season, of course you keep Stanley, no doubt. However, this is a very complex situation. Not only must we expose a very useful player in the X draft, but we have 3 (4 if Chisholm is getting close) defensemen that are banging down the door to play for the Jets. Whether philosophically you agree with the Jets org about how they bring young players in, we know they aren't going to have 3 or 4 rookies in the defense for this team.
So, you have to look at this wholistically and logically. Do you let an established (and more rare RHD) top 4 proven guy go, or do you expose a young guy (a LHD)?
- If you keep Stanley and let Demelo go, now you are sentencing Samberg to at least another year in the A, and Chisholm gets pushed back even further.
- Next year, you have Stanley (who is still at bottom pair guy), and Heinola (who would likely play in the top 4 but will struggle with the physical demands of the NHL).
As much as I don't like it, the logic falls with exposing Stanley.
Its still early in his NHL experience. Lots to learn and gain from mistakes and short comings. Lots of highly regarded, high role, high $$$salary playes on this team have struggled to keep up to and overcome opposition any given game. Look at Captain Wheels defensive numbers and eyetest lack of compete and execution in our own end on numerous occasions this year?When he gets more minutes and other teams can get some mismatches it shows his lack of footspeed and his limited ability.
Logan's current problem is he doesn't wait for the right time to shoot. He would be an ideal player for the Habs to juice their possession stats because they've never met a bad shot they won't take.
At least he is not giving away at the blue-line for opponent out-number rushes against! He shows alot of poise for a rookie and is "trying". He will get better, mark my words here. His shot is trending to improve to a scoring-threat-level closer to effective of Buff, than not. Give snother 1/2 year of experience and I bet we will all be impressed again. He has personally worked harder on some key areas NHL needed skills for todays game, than most current Jets. For a big man on defense he is proving compete and tempo, quickness required to succeed, with more experience and an improvement in overall team ( 5 player unit) defensive stucture play this is more probable than not, to occur.Logan's current problem is he doesn't wait for the right time to shoot.

I like that Logan can get it through but his next stage is getting it though when his teammates are screening, in position to tip, or he has a better chance to score.
Maurice is probably going to give Tree the Heinola shine treatment, but he may be saving Tree for the playoffs..Barring any injuries to the defense, I’d be surprised if he dresses for more than 2 of the remaining 10 games and will be on the outside looking in for the playoffs.
Does Logan have to be protected in the expansion draft?
Now, I believe Nogier, Green, and Niku are actually not exempt, they can be selected, but if they’re exposed they won’t count towards the minimum players that the Jets need to expose.Yes. He's played enough games.
As it currently stands, the ones Jets will have to choose between:
Morrissey
DeMelo
Pionk
Beaulieu
Stanley
And also technically, but UFAs, Benn, Forbort, and Poolman also.
Exempt dmen are Niku (unless 21 more GP including POs), Green (27 GP), Nogier (27 GP), Samberg, Heinola, Chisholm, Gawanke, Kovacevic, and Lundmark.
My bad!Now, I believe Nogier, Green, and Niku are actually not exempt, they can be selected, but if they’re exposed they won’t count towards the minimum players that the Jets need to expose.
Not that it really matters haha, they ain’t getting taken unless the Jets do some messing aroundMy bad!
Morrissey's contract is looking really stinky. Of course that could change with a better partner like DeMelo or a coaching change, Huddy and Maurice leaving or better yet, both things. Even though I can't image that Seattle would take on that much term and money Jets history says they protect him.Yes. He's played enough games.

None of Dmen overall get pucks through to the net or near the front close for tap-ins or deflections.If Stanley had any control over his shot he'd be a lot more effective. He's awesome at getting it through, not so awesome at getting it to good locations for a goal or a rebound.

Morrissey has a great shot (sometimes) but what is not great is 9 out 10 good setup shots of his miss the net completely and set too high for deflections.
Disagree about the limited ability. That's a false narrative based on all the negative stuff said about him when he was drafted.When he gets more minutes and other teams can get some mismatches it shows his lack of footspeed and his limited ability.
That will happen.If Stanley could learn to control his harder slapshots and keep them low he could create some real chaos in front of the net and would likely get a lot more tips.
