Mods are lame
Regarding Eyssimont, he is 6 points behind Stamkos in even strength scoring; compare their linemates and ice time. I think that puts things in perspective a bit.What’s Jeannot signed for, $2.1m for this and next season? I’m keeping him on the odd chance he can ever stay healthy. If he can, it’s a nice luxury to have a feared fighter who can chip in some offense from the fourth line. Sadly, we all just have to put that horrible trade in the past and not succumb to expecting (or even hoping) he’s anything more than Maroon’s replacement.
Motte is meh. He’s fine. A low-impact player no matter where you put him. Definitely a fourth-liner for a good team, which says something about us playing him so much as our 3C. I don’t dislike him at all, but he’s less noticeable than Glendening, and we really only need one of their type.
Hopefully Koepke can stick this time. I’m happy to have him and Chafee getting IT because our bottom six just sucks.
Sheary is obviously an albatross and im not alone in scratching my head over why the hell JBB ignored free agents like Evan Rodrigues who had top-6 experience on two playoff teams and cost $1 million. Wtf man? The disparity is enormous.
But I’m also frustrated with Eyssimont’s inconsistency. Maybe he’s the poor sap who’s stuck with garbage linemates, but I don’t see him raising anyone’s game either. Just to rub more salt, Ace is scoring at a .29 PPG clip this season while old friend Vladdy Namestnikov has been a reliable .5 PPG player for the Jets since JBB started tinkering a year ago.
I know we all want Sheary gone yesterday, but we likely have to wait until the deadline in case there’s any chance of dumping him. Ugh. What a frustrating season
His energy and ability to chip in offensively is much appreciated by me.
