I don't think Jacob is doing the Ottawa thing either.

Looks like you want some Ultimate hot takes. I am not surprised that Villardi is already injured. I did call it this summer that he would be an injury prone player.

So now that Vilardi is out for 4 - 6 weeks, do we need Connor Garland?

I think we need to get rid of some of the dead weight on defense first.

Agreed. Start with Pionk ....and there is little doubt that Nate Schmidt is not too far behind. Bring in some new blood, or give some playing time to Chisholm and Capobianco until Heinola gets back from injury.

I think Schmidt is headed for a buyout next summer.

His cap hit if bought out is $2.7M in 24-25 and $1.6M in the 25-26 season, if he is indeed bought out the Jets will have $5.4M in dead cap space in the 24-25 season with Schmidt and Wheeler's buyout cap hits.

$5.4M of dead cap will be pretty painful with those awful extensions for Hellebuyck and Scheifele kicking in.

I think Schmidt would top my list..... he doesn't bring much of anything to the game anymore. Pionk is not far behind but I would flip them starting with Schmidt..... couple of bad contracts there.... ouch

Was at the Moose game Friday..... Luscious stood out imop, was engaged, didn't float, hard in on the puck, hard back the other way..... skated hard.... no slacking off

Lambert showed some flashes of speed and skill.... both looked like they are more adjusted to AHL this year so we will watch going forward

Chibersov..... looks like he is adjusting.... didn't really stand out but season is early

But Kane is not happy with the coach reducing his ice time and let it be known publicly..........

Can't believe how dead it is here, or is my device just not showing me new comments for some reason?

Anyways, the Jets special teams really suck and need an overhaul, that defense needs some upgrades too!

Edit: The league punishing Ottawa for the Dadonov trade list thing is a total joke, the NHL looks so very Mickey Mouse from that situation, the league has to approve all trades, how is a guys trade protection list not confirmed before the trade is finalized AND how does it take almost two years to settle the whole thing ffs?!?!!

Also they didn't give McAvoy or R.Andersson nearly enough for their dirty hits, both should've gotten more then four games.

Not sure if anyone reads this blog, but the Jets are playing great!

I hope we do not get a blogger as it seems to be good luck not having one

I'm still here... lol

They are playing good, hope they keep it up, the West isn't great so 1st place isn't out of the question.

5 on 5 is great....... just need to fix the special teams, add another winger like Anderson and playoff bound!

4 lines contributing is a treat after numerous years of spent plugs on the 4th line, this version is looking good and rounds off this team!

Go Jets!

Btw, I was at the Boston game and what a joy to my heart sending all the Bruin jerseys home terribly disappointed!!

It's truly hard to believe the the best hockey team in the NHL ( ....and the WORLD ! ) right now is the Winnipeg Jets and yet we have no representation on HockeyBuzz as we have no writer covering us. Such a shame. The guys that run this website are completely asleep at the switch.

Yesterdays headline was "what can the Leafs pay Tavares"?? lol, who cares?

There are only 21 writers now on HB, this site has likely ran its course and has basically fallen off the map. Sayonara HB

Agree. Only a few teams' blogs on here get any responses. This website will be bankrupt by next fall.
