April 11, 201510 yr comment_115002 Ed Tait ✔ @WFPEdTait Nik Ehlers has four goals and an assist as Halifax beats Moncton in Game 1 of second round Q playoffs #NHLJets
April 11, 201510 yr comment_115010 Meanwhile Brendan Lemieux played in his first playoff game of the year and got an assist in the Colts win over North Bay, while here in Kelowna Josh Morrissey played his first game in six weeks tonight and got three assists as the Rockets pummelled Victoria 5-0. He's going to be a good one. Defenceman Josh Morrissey, who was playing his first game in six weeks due to a leg injury, made an auspicious return to the Rockets lineup registering three assists. "It took me a little bit to get into it, but the game hadn't changed in six weeks, so I just tried to play simple and I thought our team played a great game," Morrissey said. "When the team does that, it's just easy to play my game, play simple and fit right in." http://www.kelownacapnews.com/sports/rockets/news/299435581.html

April 15, 201510 yr comment_115302 Slightly. Guy has 25 points or something and the mooseheads have scored 35 goals. Been a part of 71 or so percent of their scoring. He's too good for junior
April 15, 201510 yr comment_115304 Jets must keep him and plan for it. So ridiculous that he can't play in the A. I understand the reasoning but for special players it risks hurting their development. The jets will either have to keep him and "rush" him to the NHL or send to junior which is ludicrous. Need an exception rule.
April 15, 201510 yr comment_115305 Pretty sure Chevy is hoping Timo Meier is still there for this year's pick

I understand the reasoning but for special players it risks hurting their development. The jets will either have to keep him and "rush" him to the NHL or send to junior which is ludicrous. Need an exception rule. Honestly I don't think there is anything for him in the AHL. He is ready for the show, he will be a Jet next year. No rush required.
April 15, 201510 yr comment_115314 Well hopefully. But it's possible he needs some seasoning in the pro ranks. Jets have to find a spot for him. I would assume if Stafford is retained he'd switch back to his natural RW position and that opens a spot on the LW for Ehlers.
April 15, 201510 yr comment_115323 Harkins and or looke are 2 guys jets rumored to be interested in drafting. Meier probably not there when jets pick

Need an exception rule. What is the reasoning behind the no-AHL play?
April 15, 201510 yr comment_115327 Jets must keep him and plan for it. So ridiculous that he can't play in the A. I understand the reasoning but for special players it risks hurting their development. The jets will either have to keep him and "rush" him to the NHL or send to junior which is ludicrous. Need an exception rule. What is the reasoning behind the no-AHL play? He has one more year of eligibility in Juniors. So the agreement between the leagues is that if the Jets don't want him on the pro roster, he has to go back to Juniors rather then the AHL minor league team. The argument from the junior teams is that they invest in scouting, drafting and development for their junior programs and if the player isn't going to be in the NHL, they want the payoff of having the player they developed on their roster.
April 15, 201510 yr comment_115334 And I totally agree with not screwing junior teams. But there are, from time to time, exceptional players that get no better from Junior play but need time playing against full grown professional men to improve. There should be some sort of compensation given to allow a team to end a player's junior eligibility early.
April 15, 201510 yr comment_115335 Harkins and or looke are 2 guys jets rumored to be interested in drafting. Meier probably not there when jets pick Cool - I was kind of thinking harkins and chabot would be good targets

I would assume if Stafford is retained he'd switch back to his natural RW position and that opens a spot on the LW for Ehlers. I don't think the coach wants to break up that line of him and Scheif and Wheeler.

I would assume if Stafford is retained he'd switch back to his natural RW position and that opens a spot on the LW for Ehlers. I don't think the coach wants to break up that line of him and Scheif and Wheeler. Maybe but then who is 1RW? Because if they pencil Frolik in there permanently, then Frolik is right to ask for more money. I doubt Ehlers plays here next season as a 4LW. If he can play either side that would help. The X factor might be Burmi. If Frolik demands big dollars, Burmi could be an option at 3RW a lot cheaper than Frolik,.
April 15, 201510 yr comment_115356 You totally have a Burmistrov jersey don't you... Perrault had chemistry with Scheifele and Wheeler too Moving Stafford to third line with Ehlers and Lowry makes the most sense, two guys with size should make some room for Ehlers

They need more ice than that.
April 18, 201510 yr comment_115607 Josh Morrissey had five points last night as Kelowna easily dispatched Victoria in five games. On to the third round! http://www.castanet.net/edition/news-story-137888-51-.htm#137888 Bruce Hamilton envisioned nights like this when he made the bold move to acquire both defenceman Josh Morrissey and forward Leon Draisaitl prior to the WHL trade deadline. Both are studs, difference makers and both delivered when the Rockets needed it most combining for three goals and five assists as the Kelowna Rockets eliminated Victoria 7-3 Friday at Prospera Place. The Rockets took the best-of-seven second round series 4-1. Returning to the line-up after missing the better part of three games with an apparent lower body injury Morrissey played like a man possessed scoring twice and adding three assists.
April 20, 201510 yr comment_115831 Barrie Colts eliminated in five games. I don't get how Brendan Lemieux gets all of those points and still winds up with the biggest minus on the team.
April 20, 201510 yr comment_115850 Can we bench Ladd and play Ehlers tonight? Can we bench Stu and play Morrissey tonight?
April 22, 201510 yr comment_116191 @RickRalphTSN: #NHLJets prospect Ehlers sees his season end. Hlfx beaten in game 7 vs Moncton. 31 pts in 13 playoff games. 100 in 51 during reg. season
April 22, 201510 yr comment_116198 @rinkrant: Nikolaj Ehlers leaves for @NHLJets tomorrow. He breaks news & thanks teammates on bus ride home after Game 7. #NHLJets
