Personally I’d want better but I wouldn’t be opposed

Skinner/Thomp/Tuch
Mittelstadt/Cozens/T6 addition
Engvall/Krebs/Quinn
Peterka/Jost/Greenway

He’s fantastic behind the net too. Probably the best on the team at finding open guys

I am open to trading him for a need, but I'd strongly argue that if you get this version of him next year, you will have a difficult time replacing him for the value.

You can run that as well

I just wouldn’t break up that top line but if Quinn forces Granato to keep him there then I’m all for it.

Yeah we are WAY past trading him just to trade him.

I'm very curious to see how they handle that '4th' line in the offseason.

They talk every day about playing fast, Kyle no longer fits in there. They have an opportunity to mold something different.

Personally I think they want to have Greenway slot into the middle 6 to create room and free up pucks for scorers.

Which makes me think Tom Wilson, while being a cool as (frank) addition, may not be priority 1 way to spend assets.

Free agency and mid picks I think we can fill out a strong, fast 4th line with Jost in there. If Olofsson can be used to acquire a top 4, you do it.

They'll stick to their plan, but I would be hard pressed to think Kevo won't further advance this team in the offseason while staying within his ideals. No, I won't say principles.

This is about as weird for me as Thompson being a 60 point scorer. It still really hasn't set in.

Mittelstonks are set to hodl

I’ve defended Mittelstadt most of the year when people wanted to send him and Olofsson to the moon

Mittelstadt has been excellent with different linemates since

Olofsson is killing his linemates

Guys like Jost have made me really rethink how I approach analytics of newly acquired players.

Like yeah you get an idea of what they're able to do, but you have no idea how they're going to be used, their linemates, ice time, QoC, QoT, coaching... sometimes, it matters a ton. Not to mention age and developement.

Look at Selke Eichel under Ralph.

Granato is a good enough coach to get all of these guys to play/develop 'playoff style'. He could have just let Krebs dangle in the top 6 and get his poop pushed in when the games got hard.

I've always been a Krebs supporter and am super excited to see where he goes with his game.

WHL Krebs is starting to show up and it's glorious.

I still think hes a little light for his height. Couple more lbs would go a long way IMO.

It would be worse when you lose on your own instead of needing help and losing out.

Next years lineup:

Skinner Tage Tuch
Mitts Cozens Quinn
JJ Krebs Olofsson
Greenway Jost Z-Train (I think the team brings him or Okposo back for a year)

Missing tuch really did screw up the lines big time.

Olofsson in a more 2nd line role is failing big time.

I’ve liked hinostoza and his speed. No issues with him

Greenway after 1 game shouldn’t be on the 3rd line. 4th line him till he improves or figures out our system.

I just don’t see the talent or skill from greenway. Think varada. Just taller

I want nothing more than the Jets to trade draft capital right now

They're are posed to be good if they can get a long term QB figured out. Trading for Rodgers for a year or two and giving up at least a 1st and probably a 2nd round pick doesn't get them to where they really need to be IMO.

Last year you can see Rodgers either mailed it in, or his game is really starting to falter
