1) Wheeler: A+: awesome season. Best Jet night in night out
2) Scheifele: A+: another great season for the hockey geek. Posts & Crossbars prevent stats from being padded even further.
3)Ehlers: B+: first half of season B- / 2nd half an A. Great things are coming.
4) Little: B: high expectations not met, but solid regardless
5) Perreault: B+: another player whose fantastic play last season had fans wanting more this season. No more injuries please!
6) Stafford: C+: personally like his game. strong leader who still scores timely goals
7) Armia: C+: things seem to finally be coming together for him. Next year will be a breakout season for him.
8) Dano: C: great aquisition. will be a big part of the teams future
9) Burmistrov: C-: another frustrating offensive season. Played much better after the Ladd deal, but still leaves one wanting more. Will never reach his potential. Would love to see him stay in Canada during the offseason & train with Scheifele.
10) Thorburn: C-: Yes he's a plug, but nowhere near as bad as made out on these boards. I like his effort.
11) Copp: C-: gifted a spot on this team. Should have been on the Moose all year. I saw his play improve the moment his minutes went up. Can we please roll 4 lines like the rest of the NHL?
12) Lowry: D: A sterotypical sophmore jynx & the Jets biggest disappointment by far. Looked horrible in the first half & certainly deserved his demotion. Hoping he bring more to the table next year.
13) Petan: C: Still needs seasoning. Defensive game remains lacking.
14) Peluso: F: Has no place in the NHL.
15) Halischuk: B: Hustlechuck. Love his effort. Hopefully he's content being a Moose leader & a call-up when needed.
16) Ladd: C: recovery from surgery very apparent in his play. This team may have been playoff bound had he been ready from game 1. I planned on him returning, but the strong play of the youngsters in his absence has changed my mind.
Buff: A-: his best season as a defensemen. Would get an A+ if he could stay out of the box.
Enstrom: A: Offensive numbers in decline, defensive play on the rise. Still a big part of this team.
Myers: B-: his best season since his Calder year, good enough that I may prefer to keep him should the Hamonic deal happen. Another defensement with a higher grade were he able to stay out of the box.
Trouba: C: I thought his game improved significantly once moved to his offside & away from Stuart. Torn as to what to do. Pretty convinced either he or Myers are traded to the NYI before the draft.
Postma: C-: The rust of sitting in the press box daily for a year clearly showed. The poster boy for any perceived mismanagement by the coaching staff. Having a player like him in box for nearly a full season has hampered his development moreso than anyone on the team. Many blunders, but none enough to warrant the unparalled benching he received.
Chiarot: C-: Thought he started strong, you could see the off season training helped. Still alot to learn.
Melchiori: C-: Quite a surprise for me. His game has translated well from the AHL to the NHL.
Stuart: F: Gross. Can't move the puck, can't play a positional game, no gap control, too many penalties. Worst player on the team not named Peluso.
Pavelec: D: Typical Pavelec season. Hot & cold. Not steady at all. He's now a veteran & needs to be displaying much more consistency. Here's to his last season in Winnipeg.
Hutchinson: D-: I don't think he's capable of playing a backup role. To me the type of goalie that needs to be playing every night. His road to the NHL was paved with overwork. Has never recovered since losing the starting spot right after last years All-Star break.
Hellebuyck: B+: Future looks bright with him!
Maurice: C: Refusal to roll 4 lines, unable to get the defense to stop taking bad penalties, overuse of Stuart has me questioning him. Gets an A for his interviews.
Huddy: D+: Sorry, but it's just not working. Defense is far more talented than the on ice results he gets out of his players.
Vincent: F: I don't think I can write my feelings here without being heavily modded.
Chevy: B: Solid draft choices, good signing of Byfuglien, great deal with Chicago, nice to see Connor signed. Needs to improve his media relations. Easily the most scripted, tired, boring interview in hockey.
