I've been saying since his first NHL game Lowry is nothing more then a 4th liner and this team desperately needs a third line that can do more than just waste time so I like that part and wish they'd do something like this but I'd have Harkins on the 3LW spot instead of Barron.
Harkins has shown when not put with 4th liner types that have limited offense in their games like Lowry and Toninato he can produce so with Wheeler and Rodrigues he could probably put up some 3rd line level points which is what they need.
Also Barron is waiver exempt and Gus isn't so Barron should continue developing as a center in the AHL and Gus should be playing in the NHL as he's no longer waiver exempt, the Jets need to stop turning centers into wingers ffs!
I agree about the D pairings. I'd shop Heinola in a package for a legit top 4 D though.
My lines in the unlikely event Rodrigues signs with the Jets would be:
Connor-Dubois-Perfetti
Ehlers-Scheifele-Appleton
Harkins-Rodrigues-Wheeler
Lowry-Gustafsson-Gagner
