ya no idea where he'd pencil in
think one of our top 4 Cs need to move to the Wing in that case. Lowry has been to good to relegate for 4th line mins. keep him at 3C where he's been stellar
so it's either stastny or dubois to the wing imo

You are also assuming the minutes are spread the same. If Lowry is on the 4th the 4th plays more. A fresher Wheeler is a better Wheeler.
Until Maurice evenly distributes for a handful of game I'll continue with that assumption.
You want Wheeler on the shut down line against the other team's best lines?
Leave PLA alone. They are doing great.
Lowry and perreault would carry wheeler.
Problem is having wheeler and Connor on thr same line.
I'm fine with keep PLA the same. Just thinking how'd it look if Appleton got some top 6 burn.
Appleton has been a very good surprise this year ......

Is Appleton a lock to be protected in the XD at this point?
Harkins exposed no doubt I think.

I’d keep Apple over Copp same production but cheaper and under team control longer.
Think we need to start sheltering them 5 on 5 by matchups rather than linemates otherwise we might really hurt our ability to score at even strength.
Appleton must really like Winnipeg. Playing like he doesn’t want to be exposed at the expansion draft.

Is Appleton the late round gem that outperforms his contract that so many contenders have ???
It’s starting to look that way.

There is a bit of a difference Apple looks like a great 3rd liner.Helly who was picked in the 4th rd looks Venzina. Aho who was picked in the 2nd rd is a 1c.

I exclude goalies myself as the majority are late round picks. Still a great one though.
bradyn point comes to mind. Datsyuk or zetterburg too. These type of late round steals

No. I was just saying he might have the potential to be a late round steal for us as they were.
He’s already outperformed his draft position, and could get better

Has Appleton surpassed Copp/Lowry the 5th best Jets 2.0 drafted forward yet or still too early to peg him ahead of the aforementioned two players

That would be premature but like everyone else I am loving what I’m seeing.
I love to see him doing well! His effort every night is top notch!

Awesome player – he fits with this organization.
Coincidentally re his hair colour:
"According to the Wisconsin Historical Society, Wisconsin means "river running through a red place" (the red place referring to the red sandstone bluffs of the Wisconsin Dells)...."

Definitely not premature to put Apple over copp especially when u include contracts number of rfa years left.
Good, likeable player with a strong all-round game that the team has needed for a long time now, and one that he should able to keep up going forward. He's always been a really hard worker with decent skill and good smarts and was a top PKer for the Moose also. I think he with Gus and Vesa/Harkins could become a new-gen Lowry line at a lower cost.
more goals, points, and better toi efficiency than wheeler. who'd have thought that'd be the case half-way through the year? (at 5v5 hockey)
id still like to see him get a bit of a top 6 look with more skilled linemates. could be vying for a top 6 role next season.
