Also to continue my thoughts from the other thread.

I’d really like to see these -

TT - Aho - Pool

Necas - KK - Marty

Stasny - Staal - Fasty

Jarvis - Drury - Noesen

Or 

Drury - Aho - Noesen

Necas - KK - Jarvis

TT - Staal - Fasty

Marty - S/S - Pool

Honestly, I think it’s ridiculous we waited this long this season to give drury a shot. The kid has fit right in, he plays fast and physical, he plays well in the scheme. Without svech for the rest of this season and probably the first half of next I could really see him stepping into Svech’s roll. He’s 2 inches shorter but weigh’s in the same as svech according to wiki. Don’t relegate him to line 4 get him up their winging for the top 3. Prep him to wing where svech would until he returns, then transfer him to a more elite L4 center when svech is back. 

 

Agree with most of this, except...

TT and Aho need to spend some time down on the 3rd/4th lines.

During last nights ranted, Rod said something along the line of "your best player not even trying..." Clearly seemed like a shot at Seabass, and honestly I'm with him. Turbo is coming back from injury, but Aho has just been bad lately.

You know I wonder why teams don’t play their top players on the 4th line sometimes. Great going against bad. 

Prolly since as soon as you do that the opposing team will do a line change for their top line as soon as they can.

Detroit starting a goalie with no NHL games under his pads (0-0-0).

Canes might get shut out.

72 save shutout with 2 ESPN Top Ten plays, a goalie goal plus catching a falling baby that dove head first from the upper deck after TT, Aho and Poolie fail to get a shot off on a 3v0 breakaway for...

*checks notes*

...literally cannot even find this dude's name.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
