I think Arnott may slow down the team a little more than they’d like but it is an interesting idea. I wonder if the team is okay giving up on Little at center. I feel like they’ll give him this next season to prove himself.

Thanks.

It is a really good question. They may choose to put Ladd in front of the net and Kane on the goal line on the strong side. Then have Byfuglien on the weak side for a one-timer and Enstrom at the top of the blue line. I could see that group putting the puck on net very well but there would be a possible passing deficiency.

The second group could be a combination of Bogosian, Little, Wheeler, Antropov and a forward or defenseman.

Many may move Wheeler to first group and that could be right move.

Good read. I wonder if the Jets have a plan to bring in another big center Through free agency or trade and push Little to RW. what if they signed Arnott and put him on the 2nd line? The line ups would look like this:
Ladd/Jokinen/Wheeler
Kane/Arnott/Little
Poni/Antro/Burmistrov
Thorburn/Slater/Machachek
Pure speculation obviously but it would add ridiculous size down the middle and get the Jets off the floor. Just spit ballin on a lo day

nice piece.

Thinking of the possible top PP lines, who do you see Joki centering?
