Me. I think the Jets also like Poolman more than Morrow. I think some of it is about Poolman being developed for next season, though I would see him as depth for the playoffs too. I like him a lot more than Morrow.
Agreed & I'm sure the majority feel the same way. Despite this I would hope we've seen the last of him this season. He has no hope of displacing anyone with a healthy lineup.
With regards to next season, the Poolman issue is much larger than drawing ice time away from Morrow. I firmly believe Poolman takes regular shifts at RD next year. The big off season question in my mind is who he displaces at RD. Cap space has to be created for the 8 RFA's on the main roster. We've all crunched the numbers & even with bridge deals we'll be awful close to the cap limit leaving Chevy little wiggle room, not to mention if the Jets end up banged up & become forced to spend serious dollars beyond 23 players due to injuries.
I guarantee you we aren't spending $16 million+ on RD next season.
Trouba, Myers, Byfuglien. I'll seriously eat crow...literal dead crow (although I'll insist to shoot it myself...outside city limits of course), if next season begins with all three still on the opening day roster.
