Feel good win in last night's preseason opener against the Oilers. Both lineups expected to be significantly beefed with more high-end talent.
Say what we will about Scheif, I'm really excited to see what this top line will do tonight! Actually quite a few intriguing combos there.
Also nice to see the game on tv rather than that glitchy chromecast I was using last night.
Jets Projected Roster, from Illegal Curve:
Connor - Scheifele - Vilardi
Barron - Kupari - Namestnikov
Viel - Gustafsson - Ford
Torgersson - Lucius - Reichel
Morrissey - Salomonsson
Samberg - Pionk
Stanley - Capobianco
Brossoit
DiVincetiis
GO JETS GO!

I guess Oilers had a few more regulars in their lineup yesterday.

Like the board work by Vilardi. Good fight in him.

Looks like Viel has a lot of pent up energy...guys like Gus are going to be left in the dust if they don't up their game.

Unless the Jets trade a defenseman, I am thinking there is really only one open spot (pressbox) for AJF, Gus, Viel, Harkins, Toninato, etc.
**Side note: read that Gus worked on his first 3 steps in the off-season to try to improve his speed.**

Like the board work by Vilardi. Good fight in him. He uses his body to block out the opposition really well. |

Yeah it's going to be quite a battle for that spot. Viel may have an edge over any of those guys if he brings the toughness he's reputed to have. I think Bowness will like that.

I was leaning towards Jonsson-Fjallby because he signed a 2 yr contract, but just noticed that Viel makes $775k whether he's in the NHL or AHL (one-way), while AJF makes $775k in the NHL, but only $225K in the AHL. The 2nd year of his deal is one-way. |

1st PP goal of the year belongs to Connor. Sweet dish by Vilardi.
