and you have no problem calling out Scheifele not a PPG player today because he wasn’t a PPG player in his “first year” where he only played 7 games? That was your response to me pointing out 6 of his last 7 most recent seasons where he has been a PPG player? This is what you call logic? Take a lap.
Confirmed Signing with Link: [WPG] F Mark Schiefele signs extension with the Jets (7 years, $8.5M)
- Thread starter MMC
- Start date
Makar and picks for Scheifle retained. Who says no?
Makar is a Canadian and a superstar who can fill seats and lead the Jets to playoffs. Aves need another C signed long term since their players are running to the exits.

So your "argument" is that he wasn't a point per game player as an 18 year old on a 7 game trial?
Scheifele has been point per game player since the day 8 years ago when he was promoted to the #1C job due to an injury to Brian Little

Wait so now we've pivoted to "his team made the playoffs?" The same exact thing people said about Eichel lol?
I forgot Dahlin is responsible for the performance of the forwards, goalies, and coaches.
Scoring points is a huge part of contract value. You need to score to be worth that much money.

The guy has 645 pts in 723 games................pretty darn close.
When you look even closer, the last 6-7 seasons he has been a PPG guy.
The Jets had to pay him, and Helly to stay.......and the deals are very reasonable for both the team and player.

"It was just a down year" me when I've never seen an aging chart.
Like its definitely a possibility that he has started his offensive decline now that his age starts with a 3. And he never had any defensive game to begin with. Despite being a skater compared to a goalie, this feels far riskier than the Hellebuyck deal imo

TBH I think he's basically AJF who can play center, but Barron and Namesnikov should still make that a decent 4th line

Same as 30 other teams last year, 29 teams over the past two years, etc... hopefully you get the point
That includes teams that sucked for decades and still didn't win jack shit
Maybe ask the Oilers and leafs how winning the draft lottery has gone for them. Same outcome as the Jets if you only gauge success as cup wins
The roster as it's constructed has a good chance of winning most nights over the next 82 games. That's what jets management is striving for

Winnipeg doesnt care about the Cup.
Their only goal is just to be good enough to be in playoff hunt, they’ve shown that with all their moves.
They’ve been a complete mess the last couple of years and nothing has changed.

So your solution to this is to get even worse and become even more of a mess?

A complete mess would be Ballard's Leafs in the 80s or the Blackhawks 20 years ago
Things didn't quite go as planned for the Jets but a lot of it (Little's injury, Buff retiring, etc) was out of their control. It's not easy to just replace a 2C and 1D at the drop of a hat
Looks like they have things the way they want them... the malcontents are gone, everyone is happy to be Jets and if you go by what was said yesterday, the room is tight and everyone is pulling in the same direction
Not sure I understand what your getting at here - if they traded away their 1c and Vezina goalie would you then see them as being serious about the cup?
Seems kind of backwards to me

I think there's a business aspect to this. Rebuilds in small markets take a long time. Buffalo, Ottawa. Edmonton was languishing before they got 2 Hall of Famers in the draft. Even other Canadian markets like Vancouver struggle to get back to the playoffs once they're out.
There's a good chance that, even if they had sold Dubois for futures, and sold Scheifele and Hellebuyck for futures, it would still take 7+ years before the team even sniffed the playoffs again. When you can't speed up the process by a couple of years by signing some good pieces in free agency to augment what you're building, it takes a lot of luck or a lot of time.
Even this current group, including the time in Atlanta - the team went from 2007 to 2015 with one playoff appearance, getting swept by the Ducks in 2015. By the time the team was competitive, it had been 10 years since the team last looked decent, when they won the SE and lost in 4 straight.

They definitely need a guy on the backend they've been hurting for Byfuglien since he ghosted them. Perfetti looks like a stud and they did well with PLD all things considered but I'm not super high on them and don't think this was the right direction to take. I think with Scheifele in particular it would have been smarter to move on
Could somebody please correct Mark's last name in the thread topic for the love of all forum goers worldwide.
(Schiefele -> Scheifele)
Thank you.
