Seth Jarvis

And honestly, you've got to keep an eye on the light.

The guy I'm really keeping an eye on is Seth Jarvis.

He's got three points in three games, averaging 16 minutes, still kind of getting his legs out under him after coming off his shoulder.

You know, recovery, so turning it back into the flow of things, playing on that third line.

But for me, I'm looking at Bussey if he's going to be starting in that.

I'm looking at Sean Walker, which is how underrated he's been.

definitely keep an eye on shane gossiper obviously you're looking at seth jarvis hopefully this is the you know where he starts really starts clicking and starts moving up the point charts looking at sebastian ajo has been on absolute fire he's close to hitting 20 points on the season already going into game 15 of the year and of course jackson blake on a four game point streak and he's got 14 points in 14 games to start his third season which is crazy to think about but He's playing some great hockey.

A lot of these guys are, and that's what helps with the fact that the Hurricanes are 10-2-2 on the season.

I'm included in that.

Yeah, if he comes back, maybe he plays with Jarvis and Kokuniemi or Jankowski down there on the third line.

Martinooks had to cycle in kind of as a third line center with the injuries that he's had recently.

Now Jankowski's back, so I don't think he'll have to slot in.

uh in the dot for the time being with him back in the lineup but uh and then you've got Jarvis kind of playing like bottom six role right now as he's kind of recovering from injury and again the carry a thing on the top line has worked out so well that they don't need to rush him back into that spot and force him into kind of a big role right off the hop as he's still kind of getting back into the flow of things in the regular season after coming back from surgery so There's no need to rush any of these guys back that are dealing with injuries because, one, like, it's a regular season.

You've shown that you can kind of handle business and either tread water or even still have, like, a really great start and play really elite hockey, even if you're missing a couple of these guys, but...

You don't want to risk potential long-term effects for these guys either for when the games really do start to matter, like down the stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs.

It's unusual because of who is out there.

And it was worth playing because it was cheap and now it's really expensive.

And I feel like the offense is even, a little bit more spread out with Seth Jarvis returning.

He's just going to continue to get more acclimated in the lineup.

But that's probably the only thing I like here, that Columbus is there.

Yeah, I mean, the fact that Taylor Hall tried to return and then got hurt is a very good sign for the viability of the second line, in my opinion.

Because if Seth Jarvis moves up the lineup, it's obviously for Will Carrier.

Like, there's just no other world where anything else makes sense here.

So, like...

The only thing that's somewhat surprising is they're doing it in the midst of a bunch of injuries.

Jordan Stahl, Taylor Hall, Seth Jarvis was out eight, nine games or so.

But Carolina, they are just a juggernaut.

And this is a tough, tough venue.

Yeah.

And even playing without Seth Jarvis as well is now back and doing well.

This team is just juggernaut central.

I can see them being the Colorado Avalanche from last year.

young guys you don't give up guys that are part of your really really impressive core at this time of year in order to try to get to get that goaltender but i think they think they right now if he stays healthy they have one in kuchetkov that can do it

well it would have been convenient for those boys in winnipeg if seth jarvis who was rumored to be in the package would have been included Instead of having to travel to Raleigh all the time, they

would have been just walking down the street.

There's not a chance Seth Jarvis was going to be in any package.

I'm just saying his name was out there, and it was a good thing to bring up.

Come on.

I'm just thinking of the fellas.

Even if it's the truth, it doesn't get in the way of a good story.

You lose Marc Jankowski against Winnipeg.

You get Seth Jarvis back.

backed by the edmonton game so you have like two games with him on the road so you have to play the first three without him so you're down your top you're down four key forwards three of them are usually on the penalty kill so you're having to find a way to get stuff done and still manage and the hurricanes exactly did that so it's For me, I think the Hurricanes are fine.

Like, the Hurricanes are showing why they're the defending cup champions, why you feel like they didn't really have to make roster moves because you're bringing the same group back.

They still find ways to just win games.

And don't look now, but they just got Seth Jarvis back in the mix, who was so important to their run last year.

He started the year on injured reserve.

And he's played three games.
