The most important question to answer right now is do we think the Cup parade will end at the Forks or Portage and Main? I want to set up some lawn chairs so I get a good view 
So if we read into this, Connor - Scheifele - Ehlers is line 1. Toninato - Gustafsson - Gagner is line 4 and Morrissey - Demelo are likely a pairing

This is a great thread -- nothin' but positive vibes!
This will be the first time outside of Covid that we've missed the TC week. So watching the thread with interest from the UK. Thanks all for the updates!

Your world frightens and confuses me
Just have your great grandkids wheel you there themselves when it happens.The most important question to answer right now is do we think the Cup parade will end at the Forks or Portage and Main? I want to set up some lawn chairs so I get a good view
Agreed. Positive vibes already.
I have been a Jets fan since… 93? (I was 4).
The more updates the better, especially for us so far away!

Connor-Scheif-Ehlers. Amazing that something so obvious was so scarcely tried. Very excited to see what Ehlers does with this opportunity. I feel like giving him a larger role and Wheeler a lesser role will be an immediate improvement.

Interesting that they are trying Heinola on the right side
My only issue with that line is that all are shot first players. They all deserve the minutes but I worry about duplication of skills.
Meanwhile the second line has two pass first guys in Cole and Blake and Dubois who is more of an in close net front scorer. So I worry about duplication and fit for that line.
I sincerely hope these lines (or something similar) work. Connor Scheifle Ehlers sounds great. But only if Connor and Scheifle help on Defense. Hopefully we can get to that point. *hopes*

Finally having a new coach and seeing everyone at TC has me all excited. Time will tell how the season goes but it's been too long since the Jets last played.
I was going to say something like this, but you beat me to the punch.
I wonder if Scheifle/Ehlers can become that pass first player. Ehlers already plays good defense. Or perhaps it would allow Scheifle to stop fleeing the DZone too quickly if he could focus on being the passer rather than the threat of scoring (yeah, he’s got a great shot, but now he’s not the great shot on his line, that’s Connor/Ehlers)
Also, I really hear you on that second line. No great shot (Perfetti is probably the best of the three from any significant distance). Maybe Coach wants Perfetti to be a goal scorer to round out his skill set? Not sure if that works, but it’s a theory.
Well Cole can shoot but prefers to pass. He was more scorer at the U18 and his first year of junior when that is what is required of him. So maybe that will be his role this year on that line. I'd still prefer to have one of our natural shooters on line 2 but I'm definitely interested in seeing how each trio looks.

Makes sense with our log jam on the left, not sure why this wasn't tried more last year.

Scheifele and Ehlers weren't shoot first until recently. They're both excellent playmakers who can read a play and decide whether it's best to pass or shoot. Hell Ehlers is the only guy on the team the past couple years who can properly execute a 2 on 1. Having more options is good, if you're designating one guy as play maker, one as the shooter, etc it's easier to defend.
People seem to be forgetting how excellent of a play maker Scheifele was when he entered the league before everybody was coached to do the exact same thing every time they entered the opposing zone.
True but there is also only one puck and putting your three best players on one line isn't always the best way to go about it. But I'm interested to see how it looks. It's an awful lot of speed and skill.
I agree, I've been stating that he is likely Schmidt's long term replacement so should be developed as such.
