Peter Tessier: Dallas vs Jets- The luxury of roster depth edition. If and when Scheifele returns how does Maurice set up his lines? This would be the first time the forwards are basically all healthy and some one will have to sit.

Maurice saying Roslovic out tonight. Think I heard he's keeping Copp at center and Little on the wing so looking like 81-55-26, 27-25-29, 18-9-85, 13-17-40. Still a bit surprised that they aren't reuniting the Lowry/Copp/Tanev line but maybe that will come down the line. I like Armia with Little and Perreault, adds some good size to that line

Dallas at the end of a bad road trip watch for some bs from Roussel etc.

Roslovic taking a break is fine, Tanev can be a pest and draw penalties (will be tough to scratch in the postseason)....never thought I’d think that.

Maurice scratching the best penalty killer the Moose had (Roslovic) to keep the worst penalty killer in the entire NHL over the last two years (Tanev) in, because “Tanev kills penalties lolz”, is the most Maurice thing ever.

That said, Roslovic should be sent down. I’d rather he crush the AHL with Petan and Appleton than get stuck playing 4th line minutes, or riding the bench. If we let Maurice Dano him, I will freak out. Mo’s hard on for Tanev will never die, so it’s probably best to make the Copp/Lowry/Tanev 4th line again, with Armia next to Little and French Jesus.

Quick question, who do the Jets waive when everyone is healthy? Logically, Hendricks and Morrow get the axe instantly, buuuuut one was a deadline acquisition, while the other is the hardest narrative ever pushed. Matthias has to be done now. Chiarot is another Mo-rection, so he’s safe. If they waive Dano, that’s 30 claims. Who even knows.

He actually only draws a penalty once every four games so not game breaking

I am interested to see how that 3rd lines lines up. I have advocated for a long time to try Little on the wing. The only bummer is that my boy Armia gets demoted to the 4th line as a result. Roslovic has been good and could probably use some more seasoning. I like this line-up.

@ the game so I will see how that 3rd line works.

Nobody gets waived, no roster limit after the trade deadline.

Chairot had a good game, he is definitely trending the right direction at the right time. He laid a couple of big hits and we all know when playoffs start, it becomes a grind.

Wished I could say the same of Enstrom, hesitant to go into the corner or along the board. Its fine if he can beat the opposition to the puck but fighting for the puck near the wall, he doesn't want to go there. I wouldn't lay too much blame on Laine for the second goal, Enstrom was hesitant to go in for the puck. Granted first game back and there is rust to shake but hope he can stay healthy once playoffs start. HIs 3rd period looked better than period one and two, his first period penalty was real bad.

Buff is a beast, peaking as a monster at the right time. Was sitting on the south east side row 12, Lowry just crunched a Dallas player at the start of the game, he looked good.

Time to cycle guys in and out, reduce potential injuries, get some rest, give guys like Dano and Mathias game time because we know injuries happen. It seems that once a player is injured, the incidence for a re-injury skyrockets. Look at Trouba, or even Lowry when he came back, Scheifs, Kuli, etc. Need to rotate other players in and out right now and stretch them all out. D and G as well.

I agree Charlie, we need to be rotating guys in - especially the 4th line, but Mo is terrible at doing that. Dano should have been rotating in all year. Fresh legs are so important and help prevent injuries, but Mo only puts guys in when there are injuries and he has no choice.

In my humble opinion. I think that Chairot is better than Enstrom right now.

In that one game? By a little. Chiapet has a solid game. Overall? Enstrom crushes him across the board. It’s not even close.

I don't see it that way at all. Enstrom is never out of position, uses the stick well and plays consistent pure hockey. The only thing Chiarot is stronger at is physical play and a heavier shot - in a similar amount of games Chiarot has 2 goals, Enstrom has 1. Chiarot has 5 more assists. Enstrom also draws in against stronger opponents.

I like to watch for what happens and who has control of the puck about 2-3 seconds after the puck is passed. Enstrom finds targets that have time to respond and make another good play. Chiarot is less consistent at making clean passes to the player in the best position to continue.

I like Chiarot in the lineup and suspect he will be in for the rest of the year (and first 3 playoff rounds) while waiting for Kulikov.

Chariot and Enstrom are two different players. They bring different aspects and abilities to the game, each excels in different areas. I admit, I like a hard hitting guy that can still make a play and be misearable to play against like Chiarot. Enstrom is more cerebral player. Enstrom has rust to shake off after injury. By third period, he was looking better.

It doesn’t really matter at this point now because this is all we have for D so this is as good as it’s going to get. When Chairot first came in the league he was paired with Buf and was very reliable. Then he was very average for a year or two maybe, but he is becoming a very steady and miserable sob while adding some points at the exact right time of year.

So is Jake the Flake Trouba hurt, or is it just his lack of compete, again?

At least Chairot shoots the puck at the net. Enstrom never does. Always passes. He needs to get more pucks to the net. That will never happen

Enstrom is actually the leader on the blueline for Corsi/rel. at a +3.7 (2nd place had a +1.2). So, even if he isn’t shooting, the Jets fare a hell of a lot better on the shot clock with him out there.

That, and I recently saw a piece by (working from memory here) C.J. Turturo showing Enstrom to be the 3rd most dangerous passer among NHL Dmen.

Rather have Chairot come playoff's. Enstrom will get killed out there. I remember the Ducks deliberately throwing the puck into Enstrom's corner because they knew they could pound him. He caved like a cheap suitcase.

not worried about that at all. We have more depth at back end. Enstrom is not depended on to be a 1a or 1b anymore. Morrisey, Buff, Myers and Trouba share the load

One thing that I will say about Chiarot, is that he doesn't crap his pants when put into a situation where a shot on goal is required.
