I think Roslo is what's best for the team and that he is better then Armia offensively already.I think it’s time Armia gets real shot in the top 9 with skilled players.He has some chemistry with Perreault and will bring some defensive help and puck control to that line and he may even find his scoring touch with a little confidence.
Connor/Scheif/Wheeler
Perreault/Little/Armia
Ehlers/Stastny/Laine
Copp/Lowry/Tanev
Roslovic can slip into the line up replacing Tanev or Armia depending on who we are playing and team needs.Roslovic will be a top 9 guy soon enough but we need to do what’s best for our team in the short term.
Oh, we do. The entire autumn was spent arguing whether the red hot first line should be broken up to "fix" the dysfunctional second line.We don’t look at, talk about or even think about changing the Stas line. If anything we give them more minutes.
I just can't fathom how some people can be so clouded by Maurice. His decision-making and line utilization has been poor at best. The mistakes are still there and he doesn't seem a whole a lot better coach than he was during 16-17. We have now clear evidence of ELL being one of the biggest, if not the biggest mistakes of the year yet he would overlook it (regardless or not by his own will) for frigging half a season. The biggest differences coming from 16-17 to 17-18 are improved net minding, somewhat better defense and of course special units. When you look at netminding, did P.Mo coach Hellebuyck to become All-Star level goalkeeper? I think not, they have different coaches for that. As for defense, that's the only improvement I can find to give the guy thumbs up, but then again the team hasn't suffered through an injury spree of 16-17 (and hasn't had the previously mentioned netminding issues), so who knows the exact difference. Now should we look at special units and power play in particular, he promoted Laine to the first powerplay unit and what happened? The Jets improved from 18th to 3rd best in the entire league. That begs the question - why was Laine, who's shot in particular was desperately been needed even back then - not playing in the first powerplay? Most likely answer: because he was a rookie. This worship he has for veterans has always been a trademark for Maurice and is even today which to me signals that he fears losing the locker room. Insecurity isn't a strength for someone that is supposed to be a leader. We watched him ice his guys who where by far the most unreliable against the Preds at the last minutes and this blind trust cost the team 2 points vs a team they pretty much the least wanted to lose against. At the end of the day he was given one of the best rosters to work with in the entire league, arguably one that's top 3 on the paper (and even better now than then). I have little doubt that most of the coaches could and would have achieved what he has or even do better given the exact same tools to work with.
If you want to "fix" the second line, throw Wheeler in there. Voilá – the line is fixed. Little and Wheeler have proven success together, and Wheeler can get any line going with his relentless work effort and leadership.Oh, we do. The entire autumn was spent arguing whether the red hot first line should be broken up to "fix" the dysfunctional second line.
The notion of breaking up the Stastny line to fix Scheifele and Little's is absolutely ****ing valid, for we seem to have two lines that are struggling to get going (particularly the second line). Applying the same logic in this scenario, there should be a horde of posters calling for ESL being split up at this point.
You missed the point in its entirety, but other than that, a decent suggestion. I wonder how Connor-Scheifele-Roslovic would work, though.If you want to "fix" the second line, throw Wheeler in there.

Agree and not agree the different is we have 3 great offensive centers and a Roslovic now Stastny and Roslovic makes the different.. we can have 3 great lines and a shutdown line now.. Before we only had Little and Schefele.Oh, we do. The entire autumn was spent arguing whether the red hot first line should be broken up to "fix" the dysfunctional second line.

I didn't have time to skim through the whole conversation, so sorry for that. I would just really like to see Wheeler play with Little, since I believe that Scheifele can work with pretty much anyone and that could give us 3 high scoring lines.You missed the point in its entirety, but other than that, a decent suggestion.

Where was this mindset when CSW was tearing the league apart in November? It was all about "maximising the results" back then, and somehow, the central part of that approach was to break up the one successful line we had to fix the others. Now when the shoe is on the other foot, it's all dead quiet on the front that once was so vocal.No, no, no...
You don’t risk hurting a young players confidence when they finally get it. If the Jets want to balance out the lines they should consider putting Wheeler on the 2nd line for depth and tbh Roslovic has been playing really well lately so he deserves a shot with Scheifele and the big 5v5 minutes.
When Jets have secured the playoff spot, do You think it would be good to try to put Roslo to center and Little to his wing? Little is after all moro goal scorer than playmaker. MP would still be the other winger.
Roslovic is not even at Copp's level yet offensively. He's a step closer to Moose after each game.I think Roslo is what's best for the team and that he is better then Armia offensively already.

As if I expected anything else, but boy oh boy, Laine's production and the general panic about the line combos sure seem to correlate.
Yes he may be better offensively but that isn’t everything.I think Roslo is what's best for the team and that he is better then Armia offensively already.

It is for a second liner. Armia is fine as a 3/4 liner.Yes he may be better offensively but that isn’t everything.
Nope. Because the Stastny line has now combined better excellent offense with also very good defensive play. Although sample size is still small, but of course you don’t split a line that has both offence and defence going on really well. The talks about splitting ESW or CSW earlier this season came mostly because those lines were seriously bleeding at their own end, so you couldn’t really say that they were that great in anything else than offence. And even then it should have been questionable to split them when their offence was going on really hot. Most of us were really demanding to do just any kind of line changes with the other lines and to at least somehow break up ELL , as that line was just the worst kind of a misuse of the three players playing in that line.Oh, we do.

The main key in "fixing the 1st line is getting Lowry back. That alone will fix a lot.Not for me they don't. I'm extremely worried about our first line. They need to get to November levels. This is March.
I have been pretty vocal about PLE, but looking at PLR closer, it seems I was wrong. PLR seems to be a stronger line, although more games will of course show us more meaningful data.
Now all we have to do is fix the first line, but if we can't touch the other lines, we can't do that, unless we put Armia in the first line.
I think the key here is to start with something other than CSW eating the big minutes. We need a better line combo in that spot.
This is an interesting idea.think it would be probably good to put Perreault with Scheifele and Wheeler, and have Connor play with Little and Roslovic at the moment. At least try this for a couple of games.

Trouba and Enstrom won't hurt either.
