GDT: Preseason game 6 - Jets vs Wild

[HannuJ]

Hey our coach is great. This team was already decided before camp started. The same every year with PoMo.

Niku has lots of talent on O, but let him spend a bit more time honing an actual d zone game

I don’t think there’s any doubt that Brossoit is the backup, and one pre-season game won’t sway it either way.

No way are they getting another goalie for more AAV when they just paid to dump Mason’s salary.

It's possible they look for a backup with an AAV not far from Brossoit if they feel he can't cut it as a backup. Pickard for example is almost guaranteed to be available at $800,000. Neither salary is high enough to effect the cap if one gets buried on the Moose.

For me it's nothing personal against Chiarot and I have no problem with him as a 7, he's a decent plug and play option when necessary, although as @surixon points out he's not that cheap for a PB guy and Morrow is a better option. I just don't want him out there unless that is the scenario though, if bodies are healthy we have better options for the bottom 4, one of which is Niku. I don't want him in the PB either, he either plays regularly or he should be with the Moose.

Ya I forgot he got a raise this year. He will be out next year with both Niku and Poolman ready and cheaper

Agreed. This very likely Chiarot's last season with the Jets. If Samberg has a good season in the NCAA he likely signs and plays for the Moose next season becoming the next in line.

Niku is obviously superior to Morrow & Chiarot & likely Myers.

Niku looks promising for sure. But, the under appreciation of Myers is painful. The guy is a horse back there, was a major difference for us last year. Niku is not better than Myers, maybe in years from now, but not now. Looking forward to seeing him in real games, and see how he adjusts to the speed and physicality.

With all the Niku talk I totally forgot about Samberg.

• Hope you got enough pictures of Sawyer, cause he is doing all TSN Jets games for the year

 

[Eyeseeing]

Oops
Good try by Copp

 

[bustamente]

As Sip would say"wrong net Copp you dummy"

 

[Daximus]

Buff literally knocked it right into the net...

 

[Deedog99]

Bad buff back.

 

[AlphaLackey]

Oh that's an own goal there. Check the replay again. Look at thesharp change in angle. F'n Buff.

 

[Afterburner]

D'oh

 

[AlphaLackey]

Say it ain't so, Buff.

 

[Daximus]

Maybe Buff didn't get contact on it.

Hope isn't reverting to his Getting Pockets Picked by smaller players days again...

I didn't hear that, well it's good in a way I hated the revolving door we had last year.

 

[Daximus]

Kuli makes some dumb decisions sometimes. Touch that puck dude. It's a high stick not a high danger shot...
