Is it time for Paul Maurice to go?

I guess the best thing they could do going in to the next season is trading a 1st round pick+Laine for Draisaitl. Then they would have a high end center player that can also play as a winger. An absolute reliable workhorse that scores just as good as Laine. Plus there is no downside, he doesn't entirely stop performing for 75% of the season.

Maurice is the least of Jets' problems right now. It'll be a Gallant-esque mistake if the let him go.

Yeesh, imagine that roster in the hands of Quenneville.

Whatever happens to PaMa, for the love of all things holy, he better not end up back in Carolina... in any capacity
Roster isn’t as good as most think but it’s made worse by Maurice running two checking lines for some insane reason. No team will fire a coach coming off a WSF and currently in first place in their division but Maurice is a bad coach who will be fired eventually when the wins and losses start to match the underlying numbers.
Hot takes anyone? Is laviolette better with his roster? How about Babcock the highest paid coach? Both teams are 2nd in their division.

With a real coach they’d go 82-0 apparently.

I think he is completely mediocre. I think the Jets got as far as they did last year in spite of him. Not a bad coach, but he isn't going to win you a series on his coaching alone. Not a difference maker. There was a reason why he has only made the playoffs 4 times in 19 years up until last season.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence.
More like sometimes teams have fluke seasons and their records regress horribly the next year. The weird thing is, the Jets were tremendous last year. They deserved their record and as good as they did in the playoffs, they somewhat underachieved by losing to an inferior Vegas team in the WSF. All signs pointed to them doing more of the same this year. They’ve gone from being a dominant possession team with a great record to a mediocre to poor possession team with a great record. They will make the playoffs this year with the cushion that they have but if this level of play persists next year and nothing changes, it is extremely unlikely they even make the playoffs let alone be one of the top teams in the league.

Yes, clearly Jets ownership should jettison the coach who is in 4th place in the league after getting to the 3rd round in the playoffs last year. What a morale boost that would be for the players, fans and employees of the team. Great idea!
Major problem last season was more able players (Helle, Scheif and Wheeler for example) were gassed by that round. And the way that Maurice continues to lean on Scheif-Wheeler, he hasn't learned his lesson.

1st place in the divison, 3rd in the NHL.. am i missing something?
Can somebody please explain what is so great about Jets' roster? I'm not saying that it's bad but I don't get the hype.

why u guys want Celebrini, he played like a weenie
By far the tallest and heaviest roster in the NHL. Mixed in with their skill and you have a tantilizing blend of size and skill built for the rugged playoffs.
If you ask most Laine fans, they'll personally drive Maurice to the airport (or just push him off a cliff).
I don't get why he would go, the team did extremely well last year and are doing amazing this year considering Laine has basically disappeared for 95% of the games they've played so far.
If Laine was playing up to his normal level, I don't think we're having this conversation.
Maurice should be given at least one more playoff run, I don't get how you can fire a guy that took you to the conf finals last year and is now having you be a top 3 team in the league.

If you think his play is even a fraction of what it was a season ago, I'm happy for you.On pace to best to best his last year point totals, did you forget to put one of these in your post
