Chib. back to the Moose.

That's crazy.

That's crazy.

Ehlers' return ostensibly made him the odd man out. Tough position for him considering how comfortable he looked with the big club.

I get that he might not be ready and getting sent down was the inevitable conclusion.

But just from a player development standpoint; sending a kid down when he's experiencing this much success seems like a buzzkill. Ride the hot hand for a bit. Give him a reward.

We already have a reputation for keeping our young talent down for too long.

I don't agree with the move, either. But I think the organization's hands were tied here with Ehlers' return and it became a numbers game. I sincerely don't think it had anything to do with him not being ready. He's looked the part in every game he's played in the NHL.

Chibby sitting in the press box doesn't make sense, nor does breaking up the 4th line and putting him there. At least with the Moose he'll get a ton of ice time and can continue developing.

It's not exactly a bad reputation, IMO. Letting prospects develop longer is better than the alternative, especially for a team that needs the draft and develop model in order to succeed.

Chiby develops better on top line minutes with the Moose than 4th line / press box with the Jets.  Very, very simple.

But now the jets know if they have a long term injury to a top 6, he's available.

Yager looked good for Canada last night.

Yager looked good for Canada last night.

So excited to watch the WJC this year.

Stanley out again until after Christmas. Samberg getting ready to start skating.

[Jockitch]

Taking a beating with some blocks that really smarted
Unfortunate as I thought his game had really been improving

[Jockitch]

HOORAY ..... nice team victory
Arniel really spread the time on ice which was refreshing to see
Connor and Vilardi didn't even register a shot - WOW
