Kinda Optimistic
As it stands Kupari is just another guy, Iafallo and his points early were more a product of his linemates, and Vilardi is injured.............a lot, but we got rid of PLD so the trade as of today is still a win.
i couldn't watch last night. but monahan really hasn't elevated past the point it was with namestnikov through end of Dec/early-Jan imo. I do think they need a better player than Iafallo on the wing and with Toffoli's addition they have some real good options now.Stunk up the joint.
Can we talk about how useless the second line has been the last 10 games. Monohan has cooled right off after a few tip goals and doesn't drive play like a proper 2C. Looking a lot more like the limited specialist he was with Montreal.
Anyways maybe trusting completely in vets isn't always the way to go.
kupari showed some promise to start the year. unfortunately the production doesn't match the jump and seem like he's closer to being just another guy out there vs anything special. Vilardi has definitely been better than PLD this year, idk if PLD would've been this bad if he was still here given his last couple seasons with the Jets.As it stands Kupari is just another guy, Iafallo and his points early were more a product of his linemates, and Vilardi is injured.............a lot, but we got rid of PLD so the trade as of today is still a win.
You could see when Names and Ehlers got back together they have chemistry. I would keep them together.
b/c we spent a 1st+ on Monahan so he will get top-6 time. and Perfetti hasn't been good for 2.5 months.I don't know why we haven't gone back to the Name, Perfetti and Ehlers line. It was the best second line we have run this year. Monahan hasn't clicked with any of our skilled players.
Agree about Monahan, no matter what he does he is the 2c for this run. Simply not true about Perfetti. Points haven’t been there for two months but in that time he should have had 10plus points and if he had any puck luck we wouldn’t be having this conversation. He hasn’t been good the last 2-3 weeks but the bad puck luck and lack of trust from the coach have stripped away any confidence that was built up after the great first half. At some point they need to let him play again with top players with good minutes to see if he can get that confidence back.b/c we spent a 1st+ on Monahan so he will get top-6 time. and Perfetti hasn't been good for 2.5 months.

With how deep the team is he may not get a chance for a bit but when he does eventually get a shot I bet he runs with it.
He’s still a huge part of the future so I hope they are communicating with him regularly.
at some point it doesn't matter how you are playing you need to actually produce, perfetti hit that point, he's still going to be a big part of the future he just isn't going to be a huge part of the present
If that’s the case, why is Iafallo in the top 6? He has five points since January 1.at some point it doesn't matter how you are playing you need to actually produce, perfetti hit that point, he's still going to be a big part of the future he just isn't going to be a huge part of the present
yeah it's not like he's been playing with crap all year. 90% of the season including large part of 2024 it's 2nd line.at some point it doesn't matter how you are playing you need to actually produce, perfetti hit that point, he's still going to be a big part of the future he just isn't going to be a huge part of the present
if only the jets would have made a trade to get somebody that can fill the massive hole we have in the top sixIf that’s the case, why is Iafallo in the top 6? He has five points since January 1.
it does matter... that's why they went out and got toffoli at the deadline... I don't think they liked having to play iaffalo in the top six he was demoted before perfettiAgreed. They are trying to force Sean to work and it isn't 5 on 5. Pp and en points are masking just how ineffective he's been at 5 on 5.
Could cost the team in playoffs if that line can't figure things out in 5 on 5 situations.
So why doesn't that matter for anyone else on the second line. None are producing 5 on 5 yet the coach still trots them out for big minutes. And no EN points don't count for me.

or maybe perfetti just isn't ready yet, like many other young players before him..Maybe the center is the issue.
Just seems weird that they kept him there for months and months. Kept Appleton on the third line forever when he went through a cold spell too.if only the jets would have made a trade to get somebody that can fill the massive hole we have in the top six

I think it’s playstyles too. Appleton and Iafallo are similar, and I think they play the game Bones likes, so they get favourable usage compared to players with other playstyles.Could be that as well, but not like Monohan is doing anything with a very good player Ehlers.
It only matters when it's a kid. As seen he wouldn't dare if it's a vet.
I agree but there at e a lot of players who haven’t been producing for a long time. Iafallo playing 1st pp and 18 mins a night has like 3 points in his last 25 games. Apples, Lowry, Barron, Gus, Kupari etc.. Cole is still is 6th on the team in scoring for the season and is still a top pp option for this team. That has to count for something.at some point it doesn't matter how you are playing you need to actually produce, perfetti hit that point, he's still going to be a big part of the future he just isn't going to be a huge part of the present
iaffalo will be on the 4th line and off the powerplay next week and gus/kurpari will be out of the line up as wellI agree but there at e a lot of players who haven’t been producing for a long time.

yeah that's true. that 2nd line was pretty unspectacular. it still hasn't been great w/ iafallo though. however think it will be given a boost post-tdl.do people not remember that when we got monahan that iaffalo was the one who was put on the 4th line and not perfetti? perfetti was kept in the top 6 and didn't produce then the change was made...
