March 13, 20169 yr comment_188276 Boston was foolish with the three picks in which they passed on him.
March 14, 20169 yr comment_188355 From TSN... Seravalli Winnipeg Jets prospect Kyle Connor became the first NCAA freshman since Thomas Vanek in 2002-03 to hit the 30-goal mark in a season on Saturday. Michigan's Connor, 19, has four more goals than fellow freshman Jack Eichel notched for Boston Univ. last year. Eichel finished with 26 goals and 45 assists for 71 points in 40 games. Connor has 30 goals and 31 assists in 61 games. Connor will carry a 23-game point streak into the Big Ten tournament this weekend in St. Paul, Minn. With an early exit from the NCAA tournament, the 15th overall pick could well make his way to the NHL to close out the regular season with the Jets. It's hard to imagine Connor, the odds-on Hobey Baker Trophy favourite, has anything left to prove at the college level.

That's not what the Jets need.
March 14, 20169 yr comment_188365 Connor is something else, wow. They say he's 6'1", 175lbs and his size is the only issue. But he has a good sized frame. Once he gets with the Jets' fitness development guys, he should hopefully pack on another 25-30 lbs. The Jets will likely take it slow with him, I'd say 3rd line to start the season. But it wouldnt surprise me to see him be a consistent top six guy next year.

Look at Mark Scheifle at that age, compared to where he is now.

Yeah absolutely. Knowing he's tall, I feel pretty comfortable he will fill out. But he might get a rude awakening in the NHL next season playing with guys who are north of 200lbs.
March 14, 20169 yr comment_188389 You can be small n light in this league but you have to be a goal scorer. Look at Johnny Hockey.
March 14, 20169 yr comment_188392 by the time he's 21-22, prob 6'1 190lbs... that's not small n light Edited March 14, 20169 yr by Floyd
March 14, 20169 yr comment_188393 how many NHL teams that drafted ahead of Winnipeg in the 2015 draft are doing this right now: and this: Edited March 14, 20169 yr by kelownabomberfan
March 14, 20169 yr comment_188396 one of the biggest steals in the draft or still yet to be decided.. any which way ya slice it, wow the kid has some game at the junior level.

Ehlers is a special player and was just starting to get things figured out before he hurt his eye. I really want to see what he can do a whole season with top six guys. IMO he was still the right pick to make at that spot.
March 15, 20169 yr Author comment_188421 I think his ceiling is higher than Larkin's. Both really good players. Besides, we have Connor coming and he is putting Larkin's numbers in the NCAA to shame. If the draft were re-done, Ehlers would move up to at least 5th spot and arguably 4th.
March 15, 20169 yr Author comment_188427 Does anyone know if Jamie Phillips's NCAA season is over? Buffalo signed Kasdorf.

I like their size, as opposed to Toby Dinklage.

I think Glover is a great prospect but he hasn't shown any real offensive upside yet... looking more like a Chiarot type right now also think Kraskovsky has potential, really liked his game at WJC.
