September 5, 20159 yr comment_149132 I wonder if we sign this kid Jiri Fronk was supposed to be drafted but slipped through. Is he this year's sleeper?Isn't he like 23 2421 played one year USHL was draft eligible put up a lot of points played on the line with a Jet draft pick Erik Foley.

Is he this year's sleeper?Isn't he like 23 2421 played one year USHL was draft eligible put up a lot of points played on the line with a Jet draft pick. Let's see what he does with the young guns next week, nothing really to lose if anything could be a good project player
September 6, 20159 yr comment_149278 Copp I think has a job in much of the way Scheif had one. Who else can be center? Other then that maybe Lemieux. It's Moose/Junior for everyone else although I can imagine Ehlers getting a 10 game stint to start.
September 6, 20159 yr comment_149282 Well there is the strong possibility in my opinion that the 4 centers to start this year are.... Little. Scheifele. Lowry. Burmistrov (He is a natural Center) Let's just do a little updated pretend line up... one last time.... This is my final guess... Ladd,Little,Stafford Ehlers,Scheif,Wheeler Perreault,Lowry,Petan Lemieux,Burmi, Thorburn
September 6, 20159 yr Author comment_149303 I know you are really high on Lemiwux but do you honestly think he makes the team before Copp?
September 6, 20159 yr comment_149307 Armia, Kosmachuk and Copp are the oldest prospects with the most experience... I would expect these guys to get a hard look this season Don't expect crazy changes... Ladd-Little-Stafford Perrault-Scheifele-Wheeler Ehlers-Lowry-Burmistrov Thorbs-Copp-Peluso (Armia/Halischuk) Enstrom-Myers Stuart-Trouba Chiarot-Buff (Postma/Pardy)
September 7, 20159 yr Author comment_149556 Lipon was born in 93 as was Armia and Serville (no chance to make the Jets). Copp in 94, Kosmo in 94, , Kitchton in 92, Hellebuyck in 93, Olsen in 94, and Phillips in 93. Armia has to **** or get off the pot as does Lipon and Kosmo, they at least have to show great improvement. Serville won't make the team...Copp has a great chance...Hellebuyck is a matter of when and Olsen and Philips stillhave time......Kitchton has an important season coming up. He has to play well or he will go waaaaaaaaaaaay down the prospect list. Ladd - Little - Wheeler Perrault - Scheifele - Stafford Burmi - Lowry - Armia Petan - Copp - Thorbs/Peluso/Hali Enstrom - Myers Buff - Trouba Stuart/Chiarot - Postma Pavs Hutch
September 8, 20159 yr Author comment_150321 http://video.jets.nhl.com/videocenter/ Lowry talks about getting off to a better start. I couldn't agree more. Starting off on a good run of wins can mean the difference between making the playoffs or not.

Starting off on a good run of wins can mean the difference between making the playoffs or not. Be interesting this year to see who better center is...Lowry or Scheif.
September 9, 20159 yr Author comment_150508 I'm not sure but I would bet Scheifele gets the bigger bucks in their next contract.
September 9, 20159 yr comment_150568 Just overall. You need to define/quantify that......such a broad term, "better".....
September 9, 20159 yr comment_150573 I'm expecting 55-65 points from Scheifele this year, maybe 25-35 from Lowry. Lowry is the more physical player of course but Scheifele has a higher skill level and is also stronger defensively. Scheifele just needs to get a little tougher but for now he is a tier above Lowry, for sure.
September 9, 20159 yr comment_150576 I think Lowry is ahead of where they expected him. I think they ceiling'ed him out as, at best, a decent 3C, more probably a very good 4c and the fact he came into his rookie year and played himself into that 3C role is pretty remarkable and did a very good job of it. The expectation for Scheif is higher with him being the guy they want to be their franchise 1C as the years progress. I'd like to see steady progress from Scheif as far as offensive consistency goes. Im okay with a "good" year this season but he really will need to embrace that top offensive centre role soon.
September 9, 20159 yr comment_150599 55 60 points is Damn near an elite center. Days of 100 plus point players is coming to an end.
September 9, 20159 yr Author comment_150622 Last season, the top 5 scorers had 81-87 points so ya, 100 point centermen (players) are VERY rare.
September 9, 20159 yr comment_150652 I would say you expect 55-65 from a number one center.... Not really elite, depending on your definition of the term, I suppose.
September 9, 20159 yr comment_150653 Well, for sure.. but if Scheif puts up 55 60 as #2 center, that's pretty damn impressive and honestly, i see no reason why he couldn't. It also really depends on your teams make up really... Like for example, would you rather have 1 50 goal scorer or maybe 3 30 goal scorers instead? Would you rather have 1 guy with 100 points in a season or maybe 2 with well over 100 combined. Really depends on your teams make up really. Would I like Ovechkin on the Jets and would i like it if he scored 50 for us? Yup, but... at the same time, I'm fine with a bunch of guys scoring 20 goals too.
September 9, 20159 yr comment_150654 Well, for sure.. but if Scheif puts up 55 60 as #2 center, that's pretty damn impressive and honestly, i see no reason why he couldn't. Sure, and that's what I'm hoping for. The team needs him to step up in a big way. Chevy is putting a lot of pressure on the young guys to carry more of the load.
September 9, 20159 yr comment_150661 Well, The young guys are our future and so far... the young guys they have drafted and developed like Scheif,Trouba,Lowry for that matter have all looked good. Hopefully a couple others come in and continue the trend.
September 11, 20159 yr comment_151331 Great analysis of prospects... http://www.arcticicehockey.com/winnipeg-jets-top-prospects-list
September 11, 20159 yr comment_151524 YoungStars tournament is going on right now, Winnipeg vs Calgary. Streaming live on the Jets website. 2-1 Calgary at the end of the first. Lemieux scored right before the period ended. Gotta love his style out there.
September 12, 20159 yr comment_151544 Lemieux Petan Comrie Hellebyuck Ehlers and De Leo looked good. Kostalek and Morrissey too. Lost 3 1 but still.
