He can play Center. He's rates as Center and WInger. As for who can play what position, etc... look at Laine in CBJ. Sometimes they just need a shot at it. If Schmaltz doesn't like Center or do very well at it, the Jets can move guys around / up and down. Lambert, Limoges, Barron and Stenlund all play Center as well.

Ullmark is going to win the Vezina because he plays for Boston. Sarros is the best goalie in the league and should win it. Helly won so many games the jets didn't deserve to win. He's the main reason they won most of their games. Imagine that kind of "AMERICAN BORN" goalie playing in Boston who can drag a team like WPG into the playoffs. As for MS55, don't worry about him. He just needs a change. As we all know, when players go to Boston, they change. They adopt the mindset and personality of that organization. Scheifele would go there and blend in. He would stop taking all the pressure and thinking it is all on him. He just needs the change.

I can assure you one thing...Xhekaj most certainly does not equal Perfetti & Stanley.

This has to be a troll account...

Get out from under the bridge before you say things like that.

Schmidt mainly played as a RD

Please do me a favour and take a look at other WPG AC-GM's, your value's are completely off and other users are simply going to think you are trying to troll.

The Jets need to get younger and grittier. They need to make spots for younger guys. This is about being competitive now and having a future.

The Jets need a change.

I'm desperately trying to figure how to get Konecny, but I doubt the Flyers would let him go.

I want speed and grit for the Jets. Disagree all you want, but as an elite youth sports coach and manager, I build teams with balance and the right elements. The opposite of Chevy and other GM's that just grab the best player that's available or whatever is available to fill in roster spots.

There needs to be a vision. Disagree all you want, but calling names is pointless.

I've looked at other builds, teams, etc... but this is my vision.

Is it ideal? Will it work? Who knows. But I would rather shake things up and change the dynamics and get younger and grittier than doing nothing.

Hey man, I'll be the first to admit a change is needed. I also agree that the Jets lack grit, this is something I would like to see addressed in the off-season too. I just think that IF the Jets were to move any of the players above, they could get a lot more value in return than what's been proposed. Like you said, the Jets need to get younger...moving your top prospect in Perfetti doesn't really fit that mold.

I LOVE Perfetti. He just worries me. Like most Jets fans, I was happy to get Perfetti at #10 (I wanted Lundell, but happy with Perfetti). He's got SO much going for him. Again, his hockey IQ, Vision and Passing is off the charts. Those are gifts you just can't buy for anything. I just cringe watching him because he's lacking the speed and mobility to get where he needs to be all the time. He uses his brain and angles (I swear he's doing trigonometry all game) to get to where he needs to be at the right time. But, he also doesn't move or pivot fast enough when he lets the puck go and puts himself in HORRIBLE spots against the boards, etc. He must know that he's going to be targeted because he's not fast or big and is crazy talented. Will he get it together, increase his speed and awareness? I really hope so. I do. But, back to the Jets getting grittier, etc... sometimes you need to give to get. I don't want to lose Ehlers and I want to bring up Big Bad Brad and other guys, so there will be speed and talent coming up, so Perfetti is my man out. Can edit and make a different trade, but he's the guy I'm using to help bring someone like Kidney or making a different trade to get someone like Dach or Konecny. I'm probably going to make a new team and post soon. Stay tuned and Troll me again then.

I agree with a lot of the above. I always enjoy seeing different takes on what people would do when it comes to the Jets so I look forward to seeing your next team! That’s the whole point of CapFriendly, sharing ideas and rosters and being able to have thoughtful discussions even if you don’t agree 100%. Apologies for initially thinking you were trolling, my bad man.

He can play center, but in his 7yr career neither the Hawks or Yotes have wanted to play him there. Somehow though he magically will figure it out in WPG



This whole post tells me you didn't actually watch Ullmark play this year. There were many nights where Boston had no business being in the game, but Ullmark stood on his head and kept them in it. Not only that but why wouldn't Boston just go with Swayman (also American born)? Over the last 3 season each guy ranks:

SV%
JS: T-5th
CH: T-12th

HDSV%
JS: 8th
CH: 30th

GSAA/60
JS: 7th
CH: T-10th

Swayman is 5yrs younger and playing at a high end level. Before you say "he plays for Boston"......people had them as a wild card team this past season before it started. The Bruins the year before were actually a wildcard team. Lets not sit here and act like Boston has been some unstoppable juggernaut over the years.

As for MS55, I want him no where near this organization unless its to play against them. To go along with be a locker room problem, he's below average in face-offs and leaves a lot to be desired in the 200ft game.
