Can everyone hear the flushing of this game

Our "wheels" line of Koepke, Lambert and Names were all a -3.
Course our turnstile Pionk also was -3

Only 5 games but geez we get no offence from our bottom 9.

The bottom 9 not including GV13. I would almost like to see 81/55/13, 91/61/93, 36/17/Gregor. Rosen has great speed but no finish.

The Wild are playing well, this will be another tough game.

Love some of the guessing going on regarding what goalie might be traded to the Rangers after Shesterkin was lost for the year
Course HellB has been mentioned often
However, I do like the possibility of a 3 team trade scenario
Maybe HellB to Buffalo, while they send Luukinen to NYR.
WHO might we get in return

If something like this happens, who thinks that our Jets don't need a goalie in return to replace Mud

Pigskin

Neither teams has anything we would be interested in as a backup.

What a game...  anyone thinking the Perfetti contract was an overpay anymore?  Thinking this could be a fantastic deal...

I'm not convinced we need a new back-up. I don't want a diminished return just so a goalie is included.
My wife is amazing!

Our top dogs came thru again, highlighted by a real nice tip in
by Fetts, who's skills are shining with KFC and 55.

Not overly taxed but Stu certainly was steady

I find it hilarious how all the pundits have and now continue to come up with trade scenarios and it's always "Hellebuyck for a no-name backup straight up". Hilarious.

Keep holding firm :D

Another solid win. However, we still aren't getting any goal support from the 2nd. line. VB61 does seem to have the finish yet, and the Jets haven't found the left winger for that line yet.

The Hellebuyck situation has developed a new twist, that he may be interested in returning.

Guessing that the fact that every day he is suspended, adds a day of the Jets control of his contract.  If he sits a year, a year gets added to his deal.

If he acquiesces and returns, the CBA apparently allows for a "conditioning" term of undefined length, and then a possible added suspension for not reporting.  It could add a month or more to his return.

I think our goaltending pairing and Moose depth, so getting a goalie in return does not seem imperative.

New York needs a goalie for at least a year, getting Hellebuyck would patch that, and then he could be dealt at the draft.  Win/win, really.

Or, a three way deal with Buffalo sending P-lu to the rangers works too.

We could use a top 4 Dman and a top 9 Lwing, and never turn down  draft picks.

Your either in the top 6 or the bottom 6. We need a top 6 forward that has some size and can score. I am not sure we need another D-man. Sol will be back soon and we have a couple of young Swedish D-men that will be pushing for a spot on our blue line soon.

Have high hopes and who doesn't, that Bjorck will become a gem.
Alas my feeling is it won't occur this year.
Feel that a 10 game show will be sufficient and then let him go home, as I don't think an 18 yr old is able to play in AHL.

Tend to feel a strong bodied, fast, middle 6 forward, from a HellB trade, is very much needed.
 Another goalie in return is not uppermost of importance in my view.
