Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2017/2018 Season

[Chris1982]

First of all that's not the official lineup...that's the "projected" lineup based on pre-game warm-ups.  Second, check out the Jets official twitter account from 6:02PM last night, which clearly states the starting lineup as Little, Connor and Wheeler.  Third, check out the players time on ice from last game and you will clearly see that Hendricks did not play on the second line.

Nah... dont feel like it.  Could care less for your condescending demeanor and your over-analyzing the majority of the posts that I make.

lol okay you asked how Hendricks looked on the second line and I explained he didn't play on the second line.  You disagreed, so I provided proof.

And here?s Maurice?s post game comments on the pre game lines:

Asked #NHLJets HC Paul Maurice if he was trying to keep media guessing with the line rushes during pre-game warm-up. ?I had nothing to do with that. That?s on the players.?

Ha. You can tell Paul Maurice is having fun this season.

Laine's price tag just keeps rising.  I'll predict $9 million x 8 years. 

What's crazy is Laine isn't even 20... He's only going to get better.

Winning is fun.

9 is probably the floor of what it's going to take.

Laine pots another to get within one goal of Ovechkin in the goal scoring race, Hellebuyck makes franchise history with his 35th win of the season, and the Jets get another gritty road win.

They also halted Hall's point streak.

And Ovi didn't score last night (They played a late game last night), so Laine remains within one. Both teams have played 67 games. The race is wide open.

Ya, my hope is that he maybe gives us a bit of a discount because he loves it here, and also looking at Stamkos as a comparable. But the argument could be made that Laine is already better than Stamkos.  I think Auston Mathews new contract will impact Laine's as well.

Yep, he's got a totally different demeanour this season during his pressers and interviews.

We all have that hope. But we have a lot of young, dynamic players.

I just hope we make the most of it this year, because I don't know how long we're keeping what we have now together.

it is going to be biiiig...McDavid was 12.5million avg for 8 years - that was done last year...Laine will be close to that when it's time for renewal.

I think one or two of Buff, Perreault or Wheeler will need to go.  A lot depends on whether Trouba re-signs as well.  Laine, Helle and Morrisey are also due for big contract raises...I think a couple will need to be bridged.

McDavid is a centre so I think that adds value to him, and I also don't think Laine is quite in McDavid's tier.  I think the floor for Laine is $8.5 mill and the highest is $10 million.

Also, remember he is on a hot streak right now.  This pace won't continue forever.

Kulikov is out for the game tomorrow vs Flyers...

Noon start...I predict a loss for some reason.

I am wondering if the Flyers are gonna give the start to Mrazek.... he has been brutal in his last 4 starts allowing 18 goals.

Its gotta be worth noting this will be the Flyers 3rd game in 3 and 1/2 days!
They could be beaten up and tired. Jets had a better break heading in.

I think we win comfortably 5-1 ish.
