Newly minted lines with Wheeler out:

I wonder why there's no official word that Wheeler's gone on IR and that there isn't a forward call up. Beaulieu's probably playing in that 4th line LW spot tomorrow regardless of call up just because that's how Maurice works but it's strange that there's no call up.

PP units are apparently:
Connor-Copp-Scheifele-Dubois-Pionk
Ehlers-Stastny-Lowry-Morrissey-Schmidt

Likely maximizing the cap. I guess we should hear about Blake from the Coach fairly soon.

I think it's unlikely to matter, I doubt there's any reasonable way to even spend Wheeler's entire IR cap space with call ups with only 3 roster spots available once Wheeler goes on IR. To maximize it they actually need another million dollar contract on the books anyway.

Newly minted lines with Wheeler out:

These lines make no sense to me

Mo will do everything except reunify Connor-Dubois-Svech

 

[Guardian17]

Heritage jerseys!

 

[Gabe Kupari]

4th line Beaulieu

Maurice really will use a plug who isn't even a forward over a kid. Just unreal really.

 

[SUX2BU]

Christ, those lines

Connor-Scheifele-Copp
Stastny-Dubois-Ehlers
Harkins-Lowry-Vesalainen
Beaulieu-Toninato-Svechnikov


Hey Maurice
try this!

Stastny-Scheifele-Ehlers
Connor-Dubois-Svechnikov
Harkins-Lowry-Copp
Heinola -Toninato-Vesalainen

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Bombers are resilient and Champs.
Jets give up down by 2

Oshea wouldn't put a frigging db on the oline so this 4th line Beaulieu crap can't be real

 

[None]

Christ, those lines

Connor-Scheifele-Copp
Stastny-Dubois-Ehlers
Harkins-Lowry-Vesalainen
Beaulieu-Toninato-Svechnikov


Hey Maurice
try this!

Stastny-Scheifele-Ehlers
Connor-Dubois-Svechnikov
Harkins-Lowry-Copp
Heinola -Toninato-Vesalainen

Heinola on the 4th line is a nice touch

 

[Gabe Kupari]

How is Chipman and or Chevy ok with this.

Honestly

How?

 

[gojetsgo]

 

[Gabe Kupari]

He will still play Beaulieu over the call up

 

[Weezeric]

Seems like there was a legitimate issue that prohibited the Jets from recalling a player from the moose. I’m sure glad no one rushed to judgement and blamed Maurice.

 

[surixon]

Yikes, so my guess is they are trying to determine if surgery is necessary or not. He's likely getting a second opinion done.

Well rhe explanation as to why they haven't called anyone up makes perfect sense.

 

[JetsUK]

Cross-posting, just in case

The silver lining is that it increases the chance of following the TB strategy if there's a surgery involved (and it means Wheeler would get better sooner, and not play "semi-injured" like he has historically done). What if we had a fresh Wheeler just in time for playoffs, plus his significant cap hit available to bring in a ringer for half a season?

Where's best place to buy tickets now days? I remember we had a thread going where members would sell, is that gone?

I guess my main concern would be if he needs surgery at his age will that have any lasting impact on his already reduced speed on the ice. I'm not sure he can really afford to lose another step and be effective.

Maybe just maybe Beaulieu is helping the PK. I'd put Beaulieu on the top PK unit over Stanley after some of the PK goals Stanley has given up in the past two weeks, if anyone is really paying attention.

 

[DRW204]

beaulieu revenge game. guy went from being a scratch in buffalo to top-pair here within a week, what a story.

 

[Do or Die]

Beaulieu could be the power forward we are looking for..
Glug, glug....

7d is better anyways, because you have all these skill guys that would probably like to double shift. Also means the coach has to coach the bench, instead of just flipping over the same personnel shift after shift. Main thing for the Jets is don't give up more goals on special teams than you get, because that negates any 5 on 5 momentum.

Oh that’s horrible if he needs surgery, the backlogs are terrible.
That’s going to affect a good outcome.

Surgery at his age would be the death knell to his game.
