Hmmm.... Whats he done in the nhl? He was invisible vs scrubs at the olympics. Id be happy to see him come over because he'd be dominated defensively in the NHL
March 24, 20187 yr comment_324746 There was no fight. Things just hot heated like they do every practice. Has anyone ever gone to one? This stuff happens almost daily

Hmmm.... You'll find that most pundits have held Tolvanen's season in very high regard, with many polls/articles having Tolvanen and Vancouver's Elias Pettersson (drafted 5th overall) as the best prospects outside the NHL among forwards. I'll leave Pettersson out of the discussion as he has just had an historic year for a teenager in the SHL, but if you compare Tolvanen's and Vesalainen's seasons, the numbers are pretty interesting: Tolvanen Player Vesalainen Nashville Team Winnipeg 2018 - 30th Overall Drafted 2018 - 24th Overall KHL 17-18 League Liiga (Finland) Jokerit 17-18 Team HPK / Karpat 49 GP - 19G - 17A - 36 pts 17-18 Stats 49 GP - 22G - 21A - 43 pts 0.73 17-18 Pts / game 0.88 5 GP - 1G - 5A - 6 pts 17-18 WJC stats 5 GP - 2G - 4A - 6 pts Now, the KHL is generally regarded as a higher calibre league, so while Vesalainen's regular season stats are better on the surface, Tolvanen's season would be viewed as stronger. Small sample size but their World Junior tournament stats are pretty much a wash. The thing that is interesting to me is that Tolvanen burst out of the gates, scoring 4 pts in his first game, 30 points in his first 31 games, but only 7 pts in his last 20. Vesalainen's season was the opposite, starting slowly and gaining momentum as the season went on. In any event, I'm not going to claim Vesalainen is a better prospect. It is way too early to make that kind of statement, but there are lots of reasons to be pretty excited about another Jets prospect. Oh yeah, one other thing, Tolvanen is 5'10, 180 lbs, while KV is 6'3, 210.

Hmmm.... So, they're going to burn a year on his ELC, for what? They don't have depth, I guess. Roslo is going to have troubles getting into the Jets line-up and, right now, he's better than TheotherLaineN. Edited March 25, 20187 yr by JCon
March 26, 20187 yr comment_324821 I generally liked rick Ralph. He’s funny. But he’s doing his best to make this fight a bigger story than it is. Anyone with close friends or anyone who has plaid competitor sports has been in a fight or witnessed fights. It happens. And the description by wheeler that they hugged it out and then joked about it is exactly what I’ve seen many times among my own friends. No conspiracy here.
March 27, 20187 yr comment_324952 and the Isles are out. looks like it's just us and the Leafs representing Canada in the playoffs, the flames just got eliminated Edited March 27, 20187 yr by iHeart
March 27, 20187 yr comment_324967 Not a conditioning stint either. Interesting to send him down. Makes me think his career as a Jet is over.

I kind of think he's better off as a Moose, now the first thing I'm thinking is, oh is Mason all better? but if he was then Comrie would be going down too
March 27, 20187 yr comment_324969 I think Hutchs attitude plays a role. Hes done as a Jet. Wonder who signs him this off season if anyone.

He's been acting like a crybaby all year, refusing interviews, claiming the Jets never gave him a real shot in all his time here, etc. I don't think that's at play here though. I think the Jets and Hutch both know he won't be back so they are letting Comrie and Mason run with the backup job.

I think the Jets and Hutch both know he won't be back so they are letting Comrie and Mason run with the backup job. It probably plays a minor role. I dont think they want that attitude in the room. But i tend to agree that Hutch is gone and they would rather give guys with a future here a shot.

As far as I'm concerned if he's in the AHL he doesn't owe anyone a soundbite. His play was also outstanding with the Moose so that shows a good attitude towards the game itself. That said, it's still a bit of a shitty attitude. A true professional doesn't act that way publicly.
