So did Chairot, Clitsome, Pardy, Morrow, etc.

Pardy didn’t play 20/game, doubt Morrow did either

The only series lost due to inability/unwillingness to match intensity was the play-in last year. Schiefele injury was the nail in the coffin. There was enough size up front to compensate for less physical play but the back end got demolished every play. This year’s edition has the same flaw. Stanley is the closest thing we have to a solution. Space in scoring areas will be a war zone and our guys are like bringing the cavalry to a tank battle.

So what is the deal with Scheifle. Looks disinterested last game, gliding around with no sense of urgency. Can't play head to head with McJesus or Mathews line.

We know he had ruffled feathers earlier, Wheeler, Connor make money than him, etc, coach has allowed him to play an offense game with little emphasis on back checking, so what is the deal?

Is it the coach? Or other guys make more than him? Wants out of Wpg? Use to be this nice genuine kid, now hard to handle, what's his deal? Anyone have an answer?

Scheifle or Eichel? Who is the better center considering one team has been decent and the other terrible? Would a GM go there?

I would trade Schiefele + if we could get Eichel back.

Someone is gonna steal Eichel from BUF. He’s become a real whiner these past couple of years, but he’s a top-five talent when healthy.

It would take a lot though. Start with Scheifele + Heinola + 1st, and go from there

St.Louis didn't? You didn't see them pound the Jets into the ice in round one then I guess.. Lol

Goodrow is a 4th liner and nothing more.

The Jets are easy to play against, it's obvious to most everyone else but you apparently.

The Jets outplayed St. Louis in that series. It was close, mind you, but St. Louis had better goaltending.

I would rather trade PLD + 2021 first round pick and 2022 CBJ 3rd round pick for Eichel!

Ehlers out for the rest of the regular season, hopefully back for the playoffs, I hope he isn't rushed back, they're likely a first round exit anyway.

Copp-Scheifele-Appleton line. Nice move by Maurice here instead off keeping Stastny in the top 6.

Scheifele has a M-NTC. Even in a good year, I believe most these guys have Buffalo on their list of no trade teams. After the season Buffalo is having, and rumours of a possible rebuild, I can't image anyone leaving Buffalo off their list of No trade teams, or adding them to the list of teams they would accept a trade.

If it’s modified and based on when the contract was signed, it’s quite possible it doesn’t have Buffalo. This speculation is based on proximity to T.O. And being a hockey market.

I’d probably make an offer at Schiefele + Samberg + 2nd. That contract of Eichel is hefty, so dollar for dollar Schiefele provides much more value. Maybe I’d bend at turning the 2nd to a 1st, depending where it slots.

It took injuries to Ehlers and Lowry for Maurice to finally roll Scheifele-PLD-Stastny down the middle. Nice to also see Appleton and Copp finally getting rewarded for their stellar play. Too bad it took injuries for all that to happen.

It’s the only trade that makes sense. Why would Buffalo want to get older?

Smith outplayed Helle so bad last night, a save here and there would be nice. Time to give Berdin a game, at least he can shoot the puck off the glass and clear the zone.

Difficult to watch a stanley cup finalist slide, lol. Jets gave McJesus two breakaways last night or was it three? The team gives up at least 3 breakaways per game, like 3 penatly shots per game for the last what, 8 / 9 games?

Amazing how the Oilers D was so bad before and now the Jets D is just simply terrible and inept.

Josh Morrisey is over rated around the league. I am not saying this is fair, but I honestly believe Morrisey and Shief for eichel would be accepted by Buffalo. And I’d do it in a heartbeat!!!

That's not going to get it done. You would also have to throw in Perfetti and probably another first

It's a modified, and this is the first year it kicks in. Every year he gets to submit a list of 10 teams he can't be traded too. I think Buffalo will be very high on the No trade list.

explain? why are so many under valuing Sheifele? he is not old, has a top 5 NHL contract for the next 3 years and has been consistently a top 15 NHL scorer for how long now?

seriously, take any player outside McDavid and compare them to Sheifele over the last 3-4 years and explain why eichel is worth Sheifele plus a million pieces?

for the record, im not trying to get rid of him or dont like him, its more i want to shake up our core of 55, 26 and 44 cause they are co coaching this team and the dynamic isn't working here anymore. Jets need to build around PLD, Ehlers, Heinola, Helly, Pionk, connor, samberg and Perfetti now.

If you really wants to shake up the core, why not just release Maurice and have Seattle sign him and while we are at it, ask Wheeler to waive his NMC so that he can be taken by the Kraken.

Win-win situation. Ron Francis apparently really like Maurice and so does Wheeler. Judging by Scheifele, Hellebyuck and Copp’s comments of late, they do not really seem to think too highly of uncle Paul.

I think Scheifele is a very good player, one of the best in the league. Top 20 for sure.
Eichel though is 4 years younger and could be top 5 in the league, he is that good in my opinion
