Actually, the last game of the regular season is against Tampa, so we will see them again.

1. If Allen is a target would it be as easy as a draft pick and then recouping that pick back by moving Oduya?
YES

2. Should shoring up the defense be a bigger priority than scoring for Chevy if he is to make any moves.
NO, WE NEED MORE CONSISTANT SCORING..... BUT WHO'S OUT THERE?

3. Would fans be okay if no moves are made and this team is given the backing and support by management to try to win as is?

YES, THIS YEAR ONLY.

4. Would you trade Wellwood or try to re-sign him?

RE-SIGN HIM. CAN PLAY C OR WING AND IS RELIABLE TWO-WAY PLAYER.
PLUS HE WON'T BREAK THE BANK.

5. Every team the Jets are chasing, Toronto and Florida, have games in hand. Is it realistic to make moves in hopes of catching these teams?

YES. WE HAVE TO SHOW WE'RE SERIOUS AND GET THE BALL ROLLING. LET THEM PLAY CATCH UP. C'MON CHEVY.... TWEAK AWAY.

1. Potatoe Potatoe
2. No. If Oduya and Hainsey are your number 5 and 6 you're pretty solid. Prior to this homestand scoring on the road was the biggest issue.
3. Yes. I'd be ok with a tweak or two but no moving any kids.
4. Meh for what you'd get for him, I'd rather keep him and try and make the playoffs.
5. Yes. Both teams are struggling. Fla's first line is Weiss, Versteeg and Flesh. They were well above their heads at the start of the year but struggling now. Toronto has some big issues in net and in secondary scoring.

Ha ha.. honest mistake, I only knew this because my brothers have tickets to this game and have mentioned it about a million times. How it could be epic seeing them clinch a playoff spot on the very last game of the season (didn't go check the sched to see if you were wrong or anything)

Yes...the Canes do have great cheerleaders...

Having said that...I think we're catching Tampa at the right time...no Vinny and No Downie make for a one line team...

We absolutely have to take advantage of this...

They better not trade Wellwood, in fact they should try to sign him asap, and moreover, try to get his brother out of Philly.

I never knew a hockey player could piss me off as much as Mr.Hainsey...

Almost threw my remote through my tv last game...

That is all friends.

Go jets make the playoffs as a rookie (I know it's not really true) franchise and give the fans an awesome ride!!!

Just not at the Pens expense though!
