Oh and about almost getting Nelson last year? Great, that sucks, but they didn’t have to go make the team worse by bringing in Schenn and Tanev because of it.

Things they say publicly, like Connor and Scheifele should never be separated, run completely contrary to measures of what makes a good team. The Jets add up point totals. Other teams look at what happened when players were on the ice (shots, chances, and goals). It’s all wild.

The Jets had Salomonsson in the AHL this year and outright admitted he wouldn’t have factored in here without injuries. For a team that’s going to need major prospect contributions in the next 3-5 years, an organization with that philosophy needs major change.

You’re missing the point. It’s not about Stanley, it’s about how the org ended up at these decisions. The Jets made bold claims about Stanley being a budding top 4 dman after a tiny sample where he scored 2 goals in an elimination game. A smart organization doesn’t highly weight a tiny sample.

The comments about Logan Stanley as well show a complete lack of understanding of how to properly evaluate players. It’s the type of analysis I’d maybe expect from a casual fan. The Jets need someone smarter running the ship.

Ever since the Arniel quote about Salomonsson having been already cemented into the AHL this season, it’s been clear to me that the Jets need a complete overhaul of their front office. Anywhere a philosophy like that one comes from needs to entirely purged from the organization.

Brad Lambert up to 4 points in his last 4 games (2g,2a)

I wonder if there’s a lesson somewhere about letting prospects find their legs in the NHL and not giving up when they don’t score at will in their first few games

Listen I need the Jets to give up 3 goals in the 3rd here. I personally need McKenna or Stenberg on the Jets.

This feels relevant right now. Literally the whole point in taking Bryson back in the trade was so they could keep Ville out of the lineup I guess?? I don’t think I’ve ever seen an organization actively go out of their way to make sure a player can’t get in the lineup like the Jets have here lmao.

A lot of improvement throughout those NHL games. I was curious because Micah McCurdy’s sG model which takes multiple seasons into account really likes the player. This is far from rigorous analysis but on the surface Ville clearly seems to be a top 6 calibre NHL defenceman.

Starting from the beginning of last year, here’s Ville Heinola’s single game expected goal shares:

77.34%
3.53%
21.22%
13.99%
69.08%
35.35%
17.29%
24.92%
61.13%
73.11%
40.85%
63.2%
73.36%
81.52%
56.65%
26.23%
33.61%
66.37%
81.03%
43.95%
75.85%

Overall: 53.3% with mostly bad D partners.

At the end of the day despite scoring more this year Logan Stanley was still not a good overall defenceman, and Luke Schenn was very bad. Rosen is a solid dart throw, and the 2nd and 4th round picks carry more value than a player you can easily get an improvement on via waivers. Chevy did well here.

The only debate about Helle now is where he ranks among the greatest goalies of all time.

What a scam

Regardless of result Canada is so far and away the better team, it isn’t close. Helle at his best though is the most impactful player on the planet.

NOT CALLING PENALTIES TO NOT HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE GAME = HAVING AN EFFECT ON THE GAME!

What the actual fuck refs this whole game is a scam

Get Mason Appleton out of Nathan MacKinnon’s jersey please

Hellebuyck are you kidding me?

Best timing with this hahah

Such a panic play by Tom Wilson. Yikes.

So when do the officials call the exact penalty they called on the Canadians against the Americans? They’ve done it 3 times now with no call.

Changing the line combos here is so misguided for Canada. They were the better team until the penalty.

I can only hope to be so good at something they’re still giving me credit for how good I was at that thing 10 years ago.

lol no, hockey people are just not efficient decision makers.

Team Canada starting literally the worst statistical goalie in the NHL this year instead of a statistical top 3 goalie is an incredible choice.

That’s a big signing, and if Ceresna can find his pre-injury form the Bombers’ o-line and d-line both just got a lot better.

They better not make the same mistake with Salomonsson and Yager. I believe they’ve already have with Lambert and Chibrikov. Would either of them hit with consistent NHL development? Maybe, maybe not. Would the team have been worse? Unlikely given that Kupari and Tanev got regular minutes last year.

Obviously development doesn’t work that way. AHL development can probably push a player to be marginally NHL level, but no further. The thing with Ville is he’s been at a marginal NHL level since he’s been 18. That was a golden opportunity to develop a player on a team without other good options.
