https://www.nhl.com/news/matthew-tkachuks-game-reminding-many-of-nhl-dad/c-783155 Danton Cole, who serves as an associate coach for the U.S. national junior team, likes what he sees in Tkachuk at this stage of his career. He believes the 17-year-old left-handed shot will gradually improve as the level of competition gets even better. Wow - another old Jet name. I had completely forgotten about Danton Cole. Looks like the new Jets have quite the network of old Jets feeding them intel.

throw him into the trade for Bogosian and Kane and it might get done!

I know nothing about the Finns but I now am seeing a lot of interest in Matthews. Since he seems to have already turned pro somehow he should be ready to make the jump next year, especially if a team like Winnipeg with a strong need for a center picks him. Other than Matthews, I don't know enough about the other guys (other than Tkachuk who apparently we don't need as he scores too much, but only because of everyone else he plays with) to make an assessment. So right now I'd say the only players to make the jump next year would be Connor, and maybe Morrissey.

They might want Lemieux, I am hearing good things about that kid...

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

I saw a notice about this today: http://www.donnarcisseallstarevent.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Kelowna-AllStar-Event-Registration.pdf I am not sure why the Roughriders are holding this camp in Kelowna, but I thought I would post it in case there are any kids interested in going, as it sounds like a pretty cool event for kids who play football.

lowry, copp Lemieux? Isn't Lowry a center? Why would he play LW on the fourth line? seems like a waste. Now, Tkachuk, Copp, Lemieux sounds like a really interesting third line.

and Stafford!

ok, well I don't really know what your point is above but I think you are ok with drafting an RHD in 2017? Anyway, no need to over-analyze it. I'm just saying that I watched Adam Foote's son on Friday night and he was quite impressive, very big kid with a lot of skills. I was really impressed with his timing on pinches, and he almost always came up with the puck in one-on-one battles. Kind of the anti-Enstrom.

how was this kid still available at #17?

I agree Staf isn't a play-maker but he is finding a niche as the garbage man on the Wheeler/Shief line. With the amount of pucks that Wheels and Scheif get to the net, someone has to be there to pick up the garbage. Phil Esposito made a good living as a garbage collector in front of the net.

7 pm my time.

Good energy from Kosmachuk, sets up the winning goal too. Kosmo!

Offer him Dressler or Smith...?

Watched Adam Foote's kid tonight playing for the Rockets. He's going to be a good one. Should go high in 2017. Unfortunately he's a RHD (oh no!!) so the Jets don't need him, apparently. http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=247895

Blue boy ice cream!!! Is it still around?

BC's got some big guys, including a 6'2" up and comer named Terrence Jeffers-Harris, who might be a keeper.

That woman needs to buy a No-No hair removal kit asap. She must be Jamie Farr's sister. And $45 was a lot of money back then. You would have to be pretty serious about that jumpsuit to plunk down that kind of dough.

Worst suit you've ever seen? Clearly you don't remember the 1970's.

And how many players on the Jets right now should be with the Moose? When Marko Dano is in your top six you ain't winning too many games. That being said, I have liked what I have seen from the kid the past few games. Any word on Ehlers?

I can't believe we've tanked past Edmonton. Toronto must be just crapping their pants right now as they can't figure out how to suck any harder.

only Milt could pull off a get-up like that one!

now now, no need to get the Rider fans all worked up....

I think you mean drafting him, and if that's the case, all of the credit should go to Casey Creehan on that one.

He's back!!! Lock up your baby-sitters...
