What can I say? His personal SH% is unsustainable in long-term but the Jets' shooting percentage when he's on the ice is stable so his point-production seems very legit and he's done everything right and what you could ask for the guy. Last season his current pace would make him 3rd in the league for even strength points relative to his TOI. He's beating competition even though both Little and Wheeler seem a little weaker defensively. Last season LLW and GST split the top-line match-ups but this season Noel has been leaning almost exclusively and very extensively on LLW.

Good: Never in his career has Little had better even strength production than this, while facing the toughest of match-ups of his career.
Bad: Never in his career has Little been out-chanced by his opponents or have negative possession numbers... until now. Little's usually one of the stronger PP point players on the team, but we all know how the Jets' PP is going.
I still think this guy is a top-notch RWer, and found his best production and moments were on the wing. If we can end up with two top end C or even just two high-end 2C, we can have our wings set with Ladd, Kane, Little and Wheeler.

1.604 | -4.0 | 2.56
He hasn't stood out as much as last year... even though he's scoring points like a brutal force. His defensive numbers have gone down, which matches the eye test as he seems to be struggling to get the puck out of the zone and gain his stride like he was last season.
Evander Kane A-

0.360 | 7.5 | 2.48
Kane is being far less sheltered than last season. His goal scoring is consistent to last season and his primary assist production has nearly doubled... too bad barely any secondary assists or his point production would be similar to Ladd, but you don't have much control on that. Leading the league in shots on goal shows that this should be the Kane we see for a long while, and good. I dearly hope that one day either a) Kane figures out how to work a PP or b) Jets' learn how to use Kane on a PP, because right now he scores goals at even strength like the best of them and could be a regular top10 goalscorer if he learns the PP.
Olli Jokinen D

-0.670 | 1.8 | 0.61
Believe it or not, Jokinen is scoring goals at even strength at about the same rate per minute as he has over the last 4 seasons. Also, Jokinen is (barely) out-chancing his opponent which is rare for him. Problem is he can't seem to setup anything... He has almost no PP production being the QB there and has yet to get a single primary or secondary assist at 5v5. Hopefully this changes soon or we're going to have 1x2C (Little) and 4x3C (Antro, Joki, Welly, Burmi).
I honestly don't think he's bad enough that he'll be without 5v5 assists forever, and as the Jets' PP comes together (which last few games have looked way better) he should be notching some poitns there... but until then, D.

Noel obviously defensively trusts the kid, as no matter which line he's on (2nd or 3rd) becomes the line to get the toughest match-ups after LLW. It's worked well too, as almost every player has had better possession and outchanced their opponents when with Burmistrov. Currently Wright and Burmistrov are the only players with more takeways than giveaways in the team's middle 6.
Unfortunately the offense still isn't coming as he still isn't doing all the things he needs to do in the offensive zone. It has improved, but it needs to be more. I'm hoping for somewhere of a 1.60-1.75 P/60 for him (ROR's numbers last season).
He get's compared to ROR at times, so looking at O`Reilly's even strength numbers last year... Burmistrov has scored more goals per minute of icetime thus far, but he needs to pick up the assists and learn how to use and set-up Kane a bit better to make that jump.

He'll always be a streak goal scorer as he's a pick his shots kind of guy. His personal Sh% is hurting him but man I really wish that Jokinen and Wellwood turned out like they should have, so we'd our USSR line still going. He's still setting up more goals than anyone not named Kane or Little, with having the 3rd best primary assist production.

This guy was supposed to be a point producer under sheltered minutes while pushing the play forward for guys with bad possession like Jokinen. Well he's done the later quite well, with best possession numbers on the team, but the former he's has halve the points per minute as Burmistrov...
You need two things to win games: maximize your chances (and score) and minimize theirs. Welwood is getting the second done but he needs both or you'll be seeing him play in Europe next season.

The guy was a great find for the 4th line and with Slater is 2/3 of a 4th line I'd want... problem is Jokinen and Wellwood's underperformance has sent players into positions of responsibility over where you'd want (Burmistrov, Wright, Peluso, and Wright)... although in those two guys defense the Jets' shooting percentage with them on the ice has been well under average and in an 82 game season would (usually) jump up.

The other 4th liner I like. He's a good goal scorer for a 4th liner, as long as you have someone there to set him up (maybe Peluso + Wright in time). As a FO specialist who is shoved into the D-zone he'll never have good possession numbers, but does the dirty work to help others.
Chris Thorburn F
It's not even worth showing his stats because you know what he is. He's a nice guy whose value is all in his intangibles, except with the problem that his intangibles never seem to end with the results that help the team win... I hope Peluso can madly upgrade this dude.

Amazing offensive production in even strength and PP... but oh man did his defensive fall down hard defensively when Bogosian and Byfuglien were both out. HARD. Understandable since Hainsey is a #4 on a team that rolls 2 pairs, but instead Enstrom-Hainsey were being used hard like they were Suter-Weber...
Dustin Byfuglien A-

I feel mean giving Enstrom and Byfuglien minus' as really, neither would be if they had spent the whole season together, but oh well. Offensive dynamite and much better defensively over last season. Luckily for him, when Enstrom was injured Bogosian returned so he's gone to the second pair as Bogosian-Hainsey are taking all the tough minutes... so his numbers haven't quite colapsed in Enstrom fashion as at least we have three of our top 4 instead of two.

Those aren't good results... but similar to Slater, whatchya gonna expect? The guy is being leaned heavily as a defenseman possibly could when really he's not Weber...
Second minus was for his butt.

Still small sample sizes for him. I'll agree with Holden that he hasn't been as dominate as last season, but that's unfortunately the case when you have a D structure that needs it's top4 to be healthy.

For a guy that I **** on a lot last season he's done a lot better. He's still no top 4 guy, but this season he's been an OK bottom pair. He brings grit and determination. He still gets out of position at times for blocks and hits but I'd say less than last season.
One complaint I do have is: oh god is he terrible with the puck. With Ladd and Kane being our two top players, the puck ends up on the left-side quite often, and when it get's cycled back to the D... it seems to be Stuart WAY too often... and he's terrible with it. I'm surprised he even has his one goal.

I think he's done well for a rookie. He's brought a lot of offense and has killed weak match-ups. As long as he stays sheltered this season he should be good.

He screws up at times and he does well at times. What you'd expect from a depth defenseman. Too bad the Jets' seem to have no luck keeping their top4 healthy.
Ondrej Pavelec C
Ondrej Pavelec's report card would look similar to my high school report card... Lots of fails but some amazing marks.
Hopefully he becomes like me and eventually removes all those fails as he gets wiser
Last game looked promising of that.
Al Montoya B-
Small sample size, so really I'd might incomplete him also, but he seems to do ok for a back up. Really all I wanted from him was good enough numbers to push Pavelec, which so far has been the case.
