Winnipeg Jets going into the 24/25 season

100% - but Jets are trapped with Lowry as 3C... guy is heart and soul but he's an anchor for Lambert or Chib.... then he also turns Barlow or McGro into career 3rd liners... maybe Barron-Lowry-Chib works but the team is married to Iafallo and Apples... gotta be a crazy dynamic in that room

Im the Barron version of your Perfetti fandom... I just see TNSE going down EXACTLY the same road they went with Copp and developing a solid player only to take him to arbitration this year to save a fkn pittance - and alienate him from the org... then basically bury him.

I think stuff like that gets around the league far more than signing or not signing guys... arbitration should be avoided at all costs when you're developing a guy. Jets seem fine with it

Save $50 to lose $500...

Dont like the word "trapped" for Lowry. As you said, he is a heart and soul player on the Jets. One could argue that our coaching has been inordinately fixated with certain pairings over the years:

Connor - Scheifele
Lowry - Appleton

Add copp-lowry to that list... trapped with a checking line - I say trapped because lowry is heart and soul so we can't move away from him but his line is really one dimensional - as we are seeing more and more shutdown lines also need teeth
