Winnipeg Jets Discussion - 2021/2022 Season

Jesse · May 13, 2022, 02:39:27 PM

Murat Ates has said that, speaking with multiple people - both within the locker room and close to the locker room - that no one sees any malice in Scheifele's comments and recognise the intent behind them - that's he's a veteran player and wants assurances that the team will stay competitive moving forward.

No one wants to waste their prime.

Ates is such a beauty. His articles consistently hit the mark and he does his homework with regard to covering the Jets.

His most recent article is no exception: https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Ftheathletic.com%2F3300230%2F2022%2F05%2F13%2Fwinnipeg-jets-roster-scheifele%2F

Ates put together a decent read

I hope someone is sending a bottle of Pepto to Chevy today, hoping the Jets get the Trotz...

I'd love know how his "interview" went today.

A friend of a friend of a friend of mine said it's a done deal.

So there's that.

KC81 in the running for the lady Byng. Good Luck KC.

He's the obvious winner, imo.

Pigskin · May 18, 2022, 08:22:45 PM

Slavin: 79 Games. 4G/38A PIM 10, +42

Spergeon: 65 Games. 10G/30A PIM 10 +32

Connor: 79 Games. 47G/46A PIM 4 -3

I would have to agree. KC81 has had a great year and should win these award.

Jockitch · May 19, 2022, 10:36:27 AM

Connor should definitely walk away in the voting and win the Bing
Certainly allotta love, from Jet fans, towards the idea of Barry T. taking the helm for the immediate future

Will Chevy move Scheifele for a more checking style Center who he would pencil in 60 points.
Jets can win a lot of games if PLD gets 75 points & next Center 60, Lowry 35 & 4th 20 points

Lots of if's. PL80 at 60 points,-6 this year, and AL17 had 21 points and a +1. Are there any 60 point centers that play better play +D at 6M. Connor had 93 points this year and still was a -3. Is it the players or the system??? New coach, new system.

Who's a "more checking style" centre available who can take the 1C spot? There's also no data to suggest Dubois is ready for that spot, either.

Bold assumption, though. And even bolder of you to assume the Jets win a lot of games next season based on nothing more than point totals down the middle. Scoring hasn't been an issue for this team; it's been defending and preventing scoring against.

Barry T. in Philly today, and it sounds like he will be listening to other offers in the coming week/weeks. Doesn't sound like signing him will happen soon, if at all.

Did you watch last season, or the IIHF tournament? PLD80 is ready for #1C...

One key to trading MS55 is re-signing PS25, which will not be hard to do. AL17, CP91 and a plethora of prospects at C ae champing at the bit to move up. Two years ago, with PL29 instead of PLD80 on the roster, no. But now, it will depend on if the new coach is on board with keeping MS55 or is OK with moving on from him... and I guess it also depends on whether MS55 is on board with the coach they choose... which might not be the case if they land Trotz
