Now the final piece of the puzzle to build off what Bones helped build needs to be found, and to finish deep in the playoffs with the final ultimate goal that we all know of and want.

I'm glad he was our coach. Started his career with the Jets (1.0), ended his career with the Jets (2.0).

Just worried now we settled for Arneil and it will be Lowry 2.0

With the solid 'look in the mirror' face slap the season ticket issue has given the Jets. I hope they realize going with the boring, historical connections wont cut it. Arniel, seriously?

As the other poster said, clear house with the coaching staff and start fresh. Keep Hellebuycks goalie coach. The rest, gone.

They have a decent shot here at a refresh with the team. If they could sign Monahan, I'd probably be interested. I'm not sure about Toffolli, he'll likey be gone. Clear out the defence. Have yourself a new look team.

I don't follow the AHL to closely but looking at the coach of the year candidates I wonder of Mitch Love or Todd Nelson get a look. I like Nelson of the two seeing as he has been head coach of 4 championship teams at different levels. Tons of playoff experience as both a player and a coach. Only 54 years old.

Also was assistant under Bowness in Dallas...which is interesting at least.

Some interesting names on that list as you go through it.

If it's Arniel, I'm okay with that, as long as we fire Lauer, the special teams coach, since our powerplay and penalty kills have been weaksauce at best.

Although I know there are more experienced coaches out there. Berube comes to mind since he won the cup with St. Louis in 2019.

Again, just need to fire Lauer for the incompetence of special teams and we are set.

They were the best defence in the league through the regular season, I wouldn't clear them out just because they got coached into oblivion during the playoffs.

I think the team defense thing was the reason for the stellar run of defensive play. Our defense though, needs a re-boot. Keep Morrissey, Dillon. The rest can be replaced. Give Heinola a shot.

Heinola is never going to make a difference IMHO. He was drafted 5 years ago, and can't make the roster FT
However that Swedish guy we drafted in the 2nd round in 2022 looks very promising.
