i do think connor-scheifele-ehlers needs a bit more jam or bite to that line. i think when ehlers is the feistiest forward of the line that's a bit of a problem 
but that line should be v good on offense.
bowness did reference perfetti needing some size to accompany him - no disagreement there. looks like he likely will not be C this year, i don't think he's there physically, or atleast to the point bowness prefers.
no scheifele+wheeler though

Im excited to hear coach interviews that are kind of boring - except I feel like I understand what was said by the end of it... been a while.

I thought Bones today had some swagger going in the scrum today, he has some charisma I like it. Straight shooter type I love

I liked Rick's interview. I like that we are going to be more aggressive and I love that we will see more from the defense. Glad he touched on our terrible zone entry prevention stats. Thay needs to change and being more aggressive in gaps should help there.

Echoing my thoughts. I've been on the Essymont bandwagon since watching him with the Moose. Amazing pest, would like to see him get a shot on the 4th line, the Jets need a player like that.

Certainly
Certainly in many respects, again as I’ve said before obviously ya know I think with respect to ya know again each and every player in all aspects certainly ya know our focus is again obviously how we’re certainly fortunate to have an opportunity in many respects like we’ve said before.

Again, y’know. Lot of moving parts. The Scheifele’s, the Morrissey’s. Y’know again, salary cap world. Certainly, it’s a process. Y’know, again.
He seems like one of those players that just bides his time, then gets a shot due to injury and never gets sent down again.
Chevy's on the board!
Must say I prefer the Bowness direct style to the High Oratorical PoMo:
Bowness: "We've got a good team here, plenty of skill and desire. We're gonna be a lot more aggressive through the lineup, especially from defence, and we want a bit more offence there also. Looking for more activation through the zones, and ways to tighten up the gaps coming back."
PoMo: "Well, there's more than one way to carve a turkey. Some of these young guys they want that big ol' 'lectrical carving knife straight away, and then you're gonna get all the gizzard, right, and none of the good cuts. So what we're gonna do is the ketchup -- who in the big bright beautiful world eats that on a hotdog? Which by the way isn't something Big Ronnie Francis would ever do, before he hung 'em up, now there was a player boyo, could skill past a guy or blow him right up... These kids, right? Earn it, that's what I tell him. That's the Soo on a Saturday night. Polish up the car keys? Heck no. Back to the factory floor, Punky. Show me some blowing guys up. Show me boardwork. Then you get to peel that big ol' stats padding onion on PP1."

Looking forward to this season -
If Bowness can get through with his message, we should see a completely different game from the same players.
That's asking a lot and will take some time - it's more than just understanding the message, it's also transitioning that message into their game - consistently.
Personally, I'm much more interested in seeing what this roster can do before we decide it isn't good enough.
It might not be pretty in the early stages - I can see us looking a little sloppy until the players adjust - I'm ok with that but will require patience.
Training camp is step one and it looks encouraging - once the season gets started, my time will be spent watching to confirm who is buying in and who isn't - hopefully I don't have to worry too much about the later.
IMO, the major unknown at this point, for both Bowness and the players, is accountability - talk the talk, walk the walk.

Yup.
It's easy to talk, much harder to do. Lets see what this team looks like early in the year.

Really like what I am hearing from TC. Optimism rising. Bowness a clear change from PM and saying things I like to hear.
Zhilkin seems to be making a very strong impression for an 18YO just drafted in the 3rd rd. Speed and skill.
Its early TC. I'm sure a variety of line combos will be tried.
