Morning Papers Jan 30th

Barron placed on IR, Ford likely to take his place. More to come after today's morning skate (10:30AM CST).

C'mon.

Feels like everytime a player has a good game or starts to put it together, they hit the IR.
My wife is amazing!

I didn't even know he got hurt in Montreal. The team's been really quiet in that regard, which is somewhat concerning.

Sounds like he will be out for a week. I did see him block a couple of shots. Could be related to that???

Confirmed by Arniel this morning, listed as week-to-week.

Seems like a safe bet he got hurt blocking shots.

Another road win for the Jets. Nice total team effort. Now on to Washington, this should be a good game.

Were the Jets that tenacious ....... probably yes and the Bruins just sloppy
However, a great Victory it was

Congrats to young Ford

That early SHG in the third could've been a turning point, but this team said no and imposed their will. Scheifele had monster game and watching Ford get his first NHL goal with family and friends in attendance was pretty special.

Since Arniel called them out after that loss in Utah, this team has been playing some excellent hockey.

And they're back atop the league standings, which makes tomorrow's tilt in DC all the more interesting.

Ehlers is a playmaker just from his ability to change the flow of the play in a heartbeat.  I just love watching him take it end to end, or around the O zone and then make the no look pass tape to tape for an open chance...

I don't know how we re going to keep him with KC ahead of him on the DC.  Someone is going to give him first line time and money.  Lets enjoy him while we can.

The Jets have won 9 games in every calendar month of the 2024-25 season so far.

Model of consistency.

That's pure speculation at this moment in time. If some random GM wants to pay Ehlers a fortune to try and plug him in to a dedicated top line role, the Jets lose him. But it remains to be seen if Ehlers is a bonified top line winger; Connor has established himself as such. It's difficult to know if a GM out there is willing to take that gamble.

Is it reasonable to compare the two apples to apples? They're both top 6 wingers, but their respective playing style and skill sets do set them apart in unique ways.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get Ehlers for 8 years, $8mil here.  But there are 31 GM's out there trying to upgrade, and he's an upgrade on at least some of the 1RW out there.

Does he fit better at #2RW?  It probably lets him play his style a lot more.

Some mention of him wanting to play with Liane... might be a mistake going to Montreal long term for that, who knows how long Liane will be playing.

32 teams, 25 players.  How many have more than 2?

He's a LW.
