Jets are back to practicing. Essymont has been called up and is practicing.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I think it's borne of necessity
I guess I'm saying I'll wait to see what happens and why before claiming that it's the same old same old with this coach.How necessary is it when they just reintroduced the taxi squad?
To me there's only two scenarios
1) It's a financial decision (taxi squad players are still paid their minor league salary as long as they're there and not on the active roster).
2) They think Beaulieu is useful in a very diminished role on the 4th line.
Edit to add: If the latter is the case you could probably also argue that Lowry's view on the team's depth is basically that there is none beyond the top 9.

were missing wheeler vesa copp svechnikov and our first-second call up is at the world jrs, I really don't think it's going to matter who is on the 4th line as they will be getting 2-3 mins until we get people backHow necessary is it when they just reintroduced the taxi squad?

Is this game actually happening?
They should still be practicing with actual players that play the position. In any other year where we weren't against the cap they would be playing with those AHL players and not sticking an extra defenseman there.
They have the opportunity to do so with the taxi squad and temporary cap relief right now and aren't.
AHL players aren't even back in the city yet. I think that is the reason they are being forced to prep with Beau at forward.
