My roster to start the year
Wheeler/Scheif/Connor
Perreault/Little/Laine
Ehlers/Roslo/Vesa
Copp/Lowry/Tanev
Trouba/Morrissey
Morrow/Buff
Kuli/Myers
Dano/Lemieux
Chairot
Helly
Brossoit
Honestly its a stupid strong lineup. That 4th line is a nightmare against any team. Ehlers/Roslo looks really good and Ehlers is really driving that line. If Laine gets any kind of Chemistry with either Little or Perreault then the sky is the limit for us this year.
I think Vesa gets a long hard look to start the year if he falters, I think they can go with either Lemieux or Dano there as both have been good in the preseason. I think Vesa has gotten better and better as the pre season as gone along. I like his direct game and his board play is real solid. Lemieux for all the worry about penalties has taken zero minors this preseason, I think the fact they have him playing both the PK and PP is a sign that they really want to see what he can do. Dano looks much better then last preseason, he is skating hard and seems to be in control of his shift length. He can slot anywhere in the lineup as well if they need him too.
On defense the only thing worrying me is how slow Kuli has looked. His skating seems slower then last year. The only positive is he will be playing on a bottom pairing and his ice time will be limited. If he can get up to speed then I think things will be fine back there.
Goaltending looks solid. I think Brossoit looks like a real solid backup so I dont have worries there
The first call ups
Petan
Suess
Appleton
That is if they want to call up a prospect I think it probably falls in that order this year.
Griffith
Everberg
That is if they need a guy for PB duty. Both have been good in the preaseason.
Niku
Poolman
I think Niku deserves to be the first call up. Yes he needs to work on his defensive play but I am not too worried about that.
Comrie
He has something to prove this year. He better be lights out in the AHL because I think his time as a Jet could be at and end after this season
