Has anyone noticed that now that they signed Poolman, it seems the media is no longer highlighting the Jets needing to acquire a top 4 D? For weeks on end the general consensus is the Jets needs (a) A 1b goaltender and (b) A top D - preferable on the left side (and to a lesser degree a penalty killer). There was even talk of the Jets trading some of their assets to get another defenceman. Funny how Lawless today made no mention of this at all on his "what the jets need to improve" segmant after months of saying we need a top D.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we signed Poolman and I'm hopeful that he can compliment our 5-6 slot. But I do think we should still try to get another top pairing D if we can. I wonder if the reason Chevy was trying hard to get Poolman signed ASAP is because if Jets do nothing this off season to improve their blueline, he can say " hey remember we got Poolman so we are improved"
