Agree with this. Copp and Tanev weren't going to play for the Jets with this line-up so might as well send them to the Moose. Burmi is waiting to be traded, and Thorbs and Stuart are veterans who are now just depth players who might play if Maurice wants to bench someone to send a message.
My big questions about the roster and future moves revolve around RD. Is Myers' injury going to be all season? Career threatening? If he's not coming back, will the Jets be able to sign Trouba long-term? Or will they look to trade him.
One fun fact... Stuart needed to play at least 6 games this season (he's played 10) to meet the requirement that the Jets expose at least one D who is under contract for next season and played at least 70 games in the prior two seasons. Postma and Chiarot are free agents after this season and they might want to protect Trouba and Myers (Buff and Enstrom are protected with NMC).
According to Maurice he'll be undergoing some testing this week to check his status, so possibly find out from there. Hopefully there is some progress, I am guessing if the injury is season ending the Jets do not protect Myers at the draft. Well at least that is what I would do, seems like it would be too big a risk for Vegas to draft Myers after missing most of a season. I guess if the injury is career ending then that opens the door for the Jets to trade Trouba for a RHD if he wants out, not much depth there for the Jets.
Why does everyone assume it's career ending?
Who did? Whileee brought it up as a 'What if?' scenario, otherwise it doesn't appear anyone has assumed that here.

Nobody is assuming it IMO. But Beyak did let it slip on 1290 that there is some concern in the Jets org that it could be.
It could be really bad. I understand TNSE trying to keep it quiet though. All you gotta do is look at the facts and the history. This type of injury with his build is a nightmare. My fear is that its more than just rumor and speculation.

The pessimism over Myers is premature at this point - even for an avowed pessimist.
This tells me you don't truly understand pessimism. It waits not for facts, nor is it selectively applied. Every day, in every way, it is always there. The eternal nameless dread of what's to come. It is only by expecting the absolute worst that we can derive those fleeting moments of semi-happiness when we see the **** only hit the base of the fan.

What was Myers original problem, torn labrum?
well Myers' hip can't be any more the mess than Zach Bogosian the player is.
Kane has it going now so hopefully some team will roll the dice on him and give the Sabres something decent. LA scouts have been tailing the Sabres checking out Kane.
Any news on Dano injury?
