Penalty minutes?

Practice audio:

Players - Laine & Perreault.

Coach Maurice scrum topics - Reflecting on Laine’s First Star of the Week. Why are Laine/Little working now when it hadn’t previously? Update on players not participating in practice today. Is this the first extended stretch that Kyle Connor and Patrik Laine have played together? Does he wish he used that combo last season? Is there a huge difference in Laine’s game now than pre-Helsinki? On Laine chasing most goals in a month record. How many times has he been called Rocket in the last day or two? On much did playing on the 3rd line impact Laine’s play?

Appleton called up.

Inb4 "this would have been Vesalainen's chance": no, it wouldn't have been. Chevy made the mistake of not letting a contract slide with Connor in 16-17, he wouldn't have made the same mistake again.

I don't think Connor was eligible to slide in 16-17 because of his December birthday.

From CapFriendly (who I'm assuming got it from the CBA): "An exception to [the slide] rule is that if the player is 19 on September 15 of the first year of their contract, and turns 20 between September 16 and December 31, their contract does not slide."

 

[Ducky10]

Hmm, Copp must be out for awhile longer. Petan, Rosie, Appleton would be fun.

 

[MardyBum]

Likely just a PB call up, but might find his way into a game.

I dunno. I could see Maurice wanting to get a look at him...

ah right, that late birthday exception rule, I misremembered.
(in the case of a Sept-Dec birthday CHL player signing right after the draft, the contract would slide, but NCAA players don't have that option)

Yes please reunite that line, they were dominant together in the AHL.

Yes they were:

 

[Aggie204]

Yes they were:

 

[DJBiffWPG]

Yeah Copp was really badly missed in the win over St. Louis!

Copp is light years ahead of Lemieux so yeah that’s a big loss.

 

[DJBiffWPG]

As per usual, stats prove you wrong. Copp-Lowry has been the key driver to that line's success.

Tanev having the least impact on that line.

 

[sipowicz]

Copp is light years ahead of Lemieux so yeah that’s a big loss.

Yeah and Perreault with Lowry and Tanev is an improvement over the line with Copp!

 

[DJBiffWPG]

Yeah and Perreault with Lowry and Tanev is an improvement over the line with Copp!

Unfortunately you’re incorrect. Tanev is almost useless on that line.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

Do they call up Appleton to just have him sit in the Press Box?

 

[KingBogo]

Do they call up Appleton to just have him sit in the Press Box?

I hope not as I'd really like to see what he can do, but I'm guessing the kid wouldn't mind a few games making 10 X's his AHL salary even if it is in the PB.

 

[JetsUK]

I think Apples is already an improvement on Lemmers. Smarter player with vision and finishing ability -- they could be a dangerous 4th line.

Hope we see it.

I think Lemieux's penalty in the 3rd against St. Louis probably will put himin the PB for this game. The analytics show that Lemieux is hindering possession time on the line. Although I would not say scoring chances. Reuniting the top line of the Moose last year might give the Jets that 4th line spark they are looking for, especially against a softer team like the Pens, who can also bury you with their PP.

He's damn well earned it! Welcome to the show Apples
