Yeah on the Leafs. He was awesome on the Avs. They were idiots to let him go for this price. Even more so to a division rival. Avs are the Vancouver of the Central now.

This is a good signing. Its about time the Jets BEEF UP their roster and add some size.
Winnipeg has been one of the bigger teams in the NHL for awhile now...

Well, that pushes Burmistrov out the door. Matthias is a pk beast at C.
Who wants Burmistrov for a pick?

I really dont think Peluso is that bad, I'd rather him then Thorburn for sure, Matthias is a great pick up though

Lol Matthias plays like powerforward with a beanpole for a body. Do not expect any physical assertion from him.
If we assume Matthias plays center then I think we can realistically expect a lineup like this:
Perreault Little Wheeler
Laine Scheifele Ehlers
Connor Matthias Dano
Petan ? Thorburn/Armia
That leaves us with 3 centers in Lowry, Copp and Burmistov. I`m extremely curious as to how they`re going to balance these lines, especially with the Jets penchant of keeping a face puncher in the press box.

Much better player than Thorburn or some of the other vets Maurice seems to love to play so much.
This guy won't make you vomit your entrails when your coach gives him 1st or 2nd line minutes.
He's got a good compete level and speed but cement bricks for hands.
You'll see a lot of great plays fizzle but not result in scoring chances against.

Winnipeg rounding into a pretty solid team. They already had solid pieces IMO, this is pretty good depth.

Petan goes back to the Moose to play top line minutes.
Stafford will be on that 3rd line unless they trade him.
Matthias could end up on the 4th line.
Thorburn / Sniper / Nose will be in the press box.
Roslovic, Lemieux and others likely get lot in the shuffle this year because of all of the depth we know have.
The Jets "5th line" is now better than our 3rd line was in 2011.

Uh...What? The Jets have been one of the bigger and more physical teams in the league for the last few years now.
Goaltending and more recently special teams have been the problems. Never size.
Was great with the Avs in his short time there. But I'm happy with Colborne. Would have been happier with both tbh

So out of touch.

He's Mr March. Other months he'll have you pulling your hair out. SOME tools , but no toolbox. Gets to tough areas but can't finish. Type of player always leaving you wanting more.
Likely his last crack at full time NHL gig. In saying that, deepest team maybe he's ever played on now with the Jets.
