this is almost the same roster we started with last year that had us near the top of the central, if we can fix special teams which tbh shouldn't be that hard considering how bad they were and the young guys take another step and stay healthy(vilardi) then we should be fine, I still think we make a trade though and use that cap space

Yup...

Out: Dillon, Schmidt and Brossoit
In: Miller and Kahkonen and Comrie

Samberg is likely to replace Dillon on the 2nd pair. Miller is an okay 2/3 RD to replace Schmidt.

Jets are banking on Heinola and/or Stanley stepping into the 3LD role, which is sort of what fans and media have been clamouring for.

Up front, the forwards are unchanged. Perfetti is likely going to be a bit stronger and faster and more capable of a top-9 role. Kupari and Barron and Gus are likely to improve. Lambert is waiting in the wings. Maybe Vilardi can stay healthy next season.

Everyone seems to forget that the Jets basically use Lowry as the 2C. Namestnikov is fine as a 2/3 C, based on his performance with the Jets.

This is what I want to see. Take a step back and trial your young players to get them their NHL legs. Kovacevic and Chisholm are good examples of the logjam of excess. Wish he would actually deal from strength to address weakness, though. The team is a strong contender for the bubble.

Chevy: Young players = Appleton, Barron and Gus. ;)

I'm not sure the team will be as strong defensively this year as they were under Bowness. We can hope that the special teams improve. Hellebuyck is going to have to do even more heavy lifting. We'll likely see Connor and Scheifele together all year.
