Winnipeg Jets Training Camp

[Inanna]

Pionk and Schmidt will be jumping on and off IR all season... never at the same time... I mean if Chevy can convince Chipman that they should LTIR one of them until the playoffs so we can add another forward at TD - I'd be down

So, now what happens in Vegas......is tried by other teams around the league?

“The most important thing is ‘has a veteran played so poorly that he’s played himself off the team?’ No,”

Why is that the most important thing? "Sure the kid is lighting it up, but the vets have been no worse than last year!". Yeesh.

What would you like to be said publicly? The coach is opening the door for the kid, to expect a pillaring of a vet at the same time is a little unrealistic.

We aren't exactly losing the mark stones, Jack eichel or Robert Lehners to injuries here

Where would Heinola fit?

Morrissey, Demelo, Pionk, Schmidt, Dillon, Samberg, with Heinola as the 7th with Stanley waived/traded i

As for Heinola I have to hand it to him, he took the perceived flaws and critique in his game and has came back this year ready to knock down the door. Confident and steady on the backend to go with his offensive play bodes well for the coming years. Does he unseat a vet? maybe he should but that's not the Jets way of doing things.

If my math is correct all 82 games divided evenly among 7D comes to 70 games each. Maybe there’s hope for Heinola playing a full(ish) season for once!

Except they are not going to divide up the games equally among 7 defenseman. Heinola will need to be seen as having pushed into the top 6 or there are enough games due to needing an injury replacement where he gets inserted into the lineup, for him to get a full season in the NHL.

 

[DRW204]

I highly highly doubt they will implement this sort of rotation among all the defenseman

[bustamente]

Hey if Heinola can continue his preseason play I would be happy if he got 50 games this year

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Ville has earned his opportunity

Time for Chevy to make a move

If the Jets keep Heinola as the 7th D, and Bowness is open to using him in somewhat of a platoon role (i.e. play him for certain match-ups, etc.), then I think that along with the inevitable injuries Heinola will get plenty of playing time to justify keeping him up. The "big" question mark on D right now is what the Jets plan to do with Stanley. Keeping him on the roster at the 7D is undeserved, in my view.

My guess is Heinola pushes into the top 6 at some point. I also think we see a defenseman moved. Just my guess.

IF they keep Heinola (and they should), and even if they run 13/8, they'll have to waive one of Chisholm or Stanley. If they prefer the more traditional 14/7, they'll have to waive them both

That also assumes that Capo is waived... maybe they waive all 3 at the same time and hope that there isn't a huge demand for depth LHD so they'll only lose one of them?

It'll be an interesting few days around here

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Pionk or Nate... pionk probably is perceived to get u more. Maybe pionk for a prospect and pick but I feel nate is the guy they move. Maybe sj or Anaheim

 

[ffh]

trades take time if thats what they decide. heinola being waiver exempt gives them some time to move someone if thats what they decide to do. he wont be kept up to sit in pb that wont help him at all.

 

[WolfHouse]

Schmidt is our best option for a trade imo - he's a locker room guy and his metrics on 3rd pairing are pretty good... If I was a GM I wouldn't trade for Pionk

Do you mean Stanley deserves to be in thebtop 6 or that he doesn't deserve to be on the roster in general?

I am very interested in what management is going to do here. Has Ville usurped Schmidt's position and if so I doubt Nate will be happy to sit in the PB.

You have to think Chevy has to make a move here.

Schmidt's been dealing with something hasn't he? Like flu or a minor injury issue.

There is a good chance none get claimed as there is a waiver wire flood the last couple days prior to final cutdowns. There may also may be players made available the Jets are interested in which may force additional guys going on waivers if the Jets make a claim.

Agreed. I think a move is coming. Though if it is Schmidt it likely requires a sweetener from us and retained salary. Maybe Stanley gets a mid to late round pick?

 

[DRW204]

I don't think Schmidt is healthy to play to start the reg season.

Mental gymnastics, poor VH
Bowness loves me....
He loves me not....

 

[AtomicJets]

Heinola has made the team. Bowness may not have expliticly said it but it was clear, he was basically beaming about Heinola. Billeck is just trying to stir up the fans as usual.

 

[fmrdh]

If I was Ville and I was moved to the AHL to ensure that Stan wasn't on waivers, I'd be pissed quite honestly.

Let's hope something like that doesn't happen.

Pionk is the one we SHOULD move but I agree Schmidt would be easier to move - if he is healthy.
