So looks like Wheeler will be back with Mark, no real surprise there.

I hope we can get some more scoring from the third with Stastny on it. Ves just needs to play like he did in the third.

Let's hope that McIntyre is right and Reichel is only a placeholder. Without PLD, we don't stand much chance against the rat-led bears.

He missed the last optional skate a couple of days ago as well. I bet he plays.

Permission to borrow?

I *think* the rat is injured.

Bruins? Ugh. Can we just forfeit?

(I'm in quite the pessimistic mood today)

I think sooner or later the Jets are going to need a 4 line contribution. Especially on a condensed road trip. Without a speedster the checking line is going to be a lot of dump and chase. Vesalainen gets the promotion, Harkins gets the demotion. I hope Svetchnikov gets in over Poganski.

Any word on defense yet? Once Wheeler comes off LTIR somebody is getting demoted to the taxi squad or the AHL, you would think? Jets will only be able to carry 21 + Ehlers under the Cap, and then have taxi/emergency callups. This would seem like a good time to put Beaulieu on waivers, if you need more manoeuvring.

Didn't Ehelers get put o LTIR? That should give us enough cap space for now.

No just IR, which is probably 2 weeks. I just saw it on Cap Friendly this is the Jets opportunity to waive Beaulieu and pickup Kyle Turris on waivers.

Gotcha, must not be as bad as Wheeler's injury then which is great news.

Yeah I'd wave Beau as well. Does Turris really add anything? He's been pretty bad for a couple of years now. Granted that might just be because its Edmonton but I haven't been super impressed with him in 4 years now.

Sat & Sunday - both opposition teams 8-2 in last 10. This will be tough

I can't answer that one either. Pretty steep decline for a guy who was the #1 C in the ECF Sens team, and #2 centre for the Preds for a couple of years.

My shorthand calculations came out with the cost of waiving Beaulieu and replacing him with Turris at this point of the season, as $240 000 more than we would pay Beaulieu for the rest of the season.

Still I think something is going to happen. I'm not sure how much the Jets saved in Cap space with Wheeler being on LTIR but they were pressed to the Cap before. Which affects Samberg in particular, as he tries to make the team. Just saw Ehlers put on LTIR when Wheeler came off it, so that gives the Jets some roster flexibility for the next couple of weeks.
