Played solid last night. Agree about his gap game. If he can tighten that up and play with more confidence he will be beast to play against.
I think last night his hands were on display as well. He made some silky smooth plays for such a big guy
Also enjoyed the way he destroyed Evans as well
Trending up that is for sure

Do they move to protect him now? Interesting times.

We keep waiting for Stanley to get exposed, didn't happen against the North Divisions two top teams!
If anything a couple of Jets top 4 D men got exposed!

he is playing against fwd lines lower down the line-up.
was curious who he out there against the last 2 games
So, from what I can tell, Beaulieu was kept in the lineup at least in part because of his physicality. Stanley is becoming much more physical as he's gotten more comfortable (hit on Evans, for example). Looks like he will be mean with his size, unlike Myers. He should (obviously) stay in the lineup.
Not sure if your point is he isn’t as good as we think, which he can only play the minutes he gets.
If you are suggesting he should get a chance to play more and against a wider range which I agree with
Or if you generally were curious and it’s a huh moment. In that case, I’m not sure why you are surprised a rookie being sheltered.
Maurice is bringing him along how he should be.
Let him learn the position in the bigs on the 3rd pairing with limited time and semi-sheltered. If he continues on the upward curve, he will start playing against tougher competition.
I want to see him with some serious PK time because if we have Slamberg and Stan the Man on our PK1 and PK2 in a year or so, it will gove JMo more time in other areas.
Also, if he continues his upward trend and DD doesn't improve his game by the end of the season, I'm protecting him and exposing DD.

Your world frightens and confuses me
I'm at that point right now, if for no other reason that we've only scratched the surface with Stanley, but we've already seen the ceiling on Demelo. Stanley as been extremely sound in all the fundamentals, but you can't coach someone to be 6'7''. He has potential to be a very unique force in this league for many years to come. Why in the world would we ever protect anybody other than Morrissey or Pionk over him is beyond me.
He needs to pk so there is no reason to bring boo boo back in.
They could do a swap back with Seattle to protect him especially with uncertainty in draft.

Who he plays against will help determine where he is in his development and if he is improving(which he clearly is doing). Not a complicated aspect. People were making hot takes like he was our best D while playing 12 mins a night and extremely sheltered. Now he’s given more free reign and responsibilities.

If necessary. The bottom line is that I think the sky's the limit with this kid. He may not become Chara, but I've already been impressed with the way he moves the puck and his hockey sense at his age, size and experience level. Of all the defensemen we have to protect, I'd let any of our non-Pionk/Morrissey guys go at this point. Heck, there's no reason that Heinola couldn't step in now and take a spot from them (IMO).
He was the best d last night against the competition he was given the minutes he was given and the partner. Where he gets played and how much is coaching decisions not dictated by what the player is capable of.
I mean if u just go by what pomo sees Stanley should be on the bench and boo boo playing.
Agreed. I’ve thought for awhile now the Jets won’t risk losing Stanley. He has developed very nicely and the Jets have invested heavily in his development.
Whatever one might think about the decision making process that led to moving up to pick Stanley in the 1st round, it's hard not to be happy with how the Jets have developed his game. Of course, Stanley had to put in the work, but he's developing very well.

We will not be losing Stanley in Xpansion, I can guarantee that.
You do not invest the assets, time and resources to obtain and develop a 6"7 project only to let it walk out the door right when he starts paying dividends.

I’m not fat. I’m cultivating mass.
I also noticed that his skating is improving also , along with is confidence in his stick handling. A lot more hanging onto the puck and delaying. Instead off the boards or glass.

Easy fix to that, protect Stanley. I doubt they take DeMelo. It would then be either Harkins or Berdin.

It’s good to see so many positive comments and Stanley’s development up to this point after so much negativity regarding the pick. He had some hick ups along the way with injuries but seems to have moved past them and I agree that I think the sky is the limit for this guy. He’s got a great, seeing eye shot (it has yet to seeing it way into the net though) but every shot is literally, right there and for a purpose, whether through a screen, a deflection or a fake shot/pass. He’s got great hands, is a good skater and as soon as he builds up that confidence and is given a bit more leash to open up the physicality, he will be an absolute beast to play against. He may not be a T2 defender, but I’ve always seen him as a second pair guy who can PK and grind out the other team. He is exactly what we need!
Agree, but then they've got to start playing Harkins, at least for the 10 games he needs (there are other good reasons for playing him, of course).
Harkins only needs to play the required games to help the Jets meet the minimum requirements for the expansion draft. He could still be selected by Seattle if he doesn’t play the required games and the Jets don’t protect him.
Just curious at his matchups that is all.
Have you missed my posts on page one about his game? He's been solid in his role. and aware he's 3rd pairing/sheltering which there's nothing wrong with given his limited nhl experience
