The jumbotron video this afternoon at the jets game basically confirms it How's this ESW Connor Little Laine Perreault Lowry Armia Lemieux Copp Dano If we get Laine (I'd rank him 3rd and Puljujarvi 2nd), I agree with those players, maybe not the same lines but the same players. I like that Stafford is not there. It's nice to see some young players finally coming in and doing well....Scheif (drafted 5 years ago) only made the team 3 seasons ago so for 4 years of draft and develop, that isn't bad. When I look at some of the young players we have coming up and where we might pick this upcoming draft, I can't help but wonder how good this team will become.
March 21, 20169 yr Author comment_189375 I forgot to thank Ladd for Dano and that first...........hopefully a third too.

March 22, 20169 yr comment_189579 You know as far as drafting the number one overall, having Kyle Conner on a line with Matthew Tkachuk wouldn't be anything to sneeze at either. Whichever position we draft in I think the Jets will be getting very good in the next few seasons ... Edited March 22, 20169 yr by IC Khari
March 22, 20169 yr Author comment_189594 Aren't they both LWers? I like Tkachuk but not until 6th or so.
March 22, 20169 yr comment_189603 Tkachuk is over-rated. Because he plays with good players. Apparently Motte and Compher are total broken down bums that Connor has to carry on his shoulders while skating through entire teams and potting goals single-handedly. I was wondering why all of his goals are unassisted. EDIT - I see that Motte is a pick of the Blackhawks - should have tacked him on with Dano instead of taking that 2018 pick. Connor and Motte together again! Edited March 22, 20169 yr by kelownabomberfan

Connor and Motte together again! Let's not forget that Compher and Motte are both 21 and playing their 3rd year for Michigan. Connor is 19 and in his first year while setting records. Nobody said Tkachuk is no good.......most have him rated 5th or so.....

I've seen at least one poster say that Tkachuk is no good and that he is over-rated. Several times. Anyway, I do get that we have more pressing issues elsewhere. My desire to see Tkachuk drafted isn't just about him being a great player (and he is) it's about having another Tkachuk playing for us. Nostalgia.
March 22, 20169 yr Author comment_189613 You can still be a good player and be over-rated. Lemieux was just on H and L. Speaks about being excited for his young friends being called up to play on the Jets....how excited he is to be going into the playoffs and that he and some other vets got a 3 game break and had a time to rest and re-load. They are meeting Kitchener in the playoffs. He speaks about learning to play the pro game and play with an edge but keep the penalty minutes down. Being a leader on the team and being disciplined. He has worked on his defensive game. Moved from standing in front of the goalie on the PP to the half wall and moving the puck more on the PP. He suggests that his agent, his dad and he asked for the trade to work on other parts of his game. He also speaks about making sure his hits aren't to the head area and they are good hits. I think he stands a good chance to make the team next year, especially since we have been getting smaller since the Kane trade.
March 26, 20169 yr comment_190047 I hope the game against NDSU tomorrow is on TSN 2 so I can watch it. Poolman vs Connor - epic battle!!
March 26, 20169 yr comment_190054 Winner moves on. Loser gets an ELC with the Jets probably. As for Tkachuk nobody said he wasn't good. All I've really said about him is there are better players in the draft. Ones that fit the Jets needs more. Jets picking top 4? Tkachuk? Not a chance. Top 8? They might just take him. Jets draft BPA it seems... Matthews Laine Puljujarvi Dubois are better. Chychrun Sergachev Juolevi fit our needs. Tkachuk? Not so much but if he's there and he's the BPA they probably will take him. Tkachuk goes top 8 for sure. Just unlikely he goes top 5. Size isn't an issue anymore in the nhl... they are moving towards a quicker paced skill game instead of crashing and banging all night long. Soon. Guys like thorburn Peluso Stuart... they will be extinct cuz they just won't have the speed or skill to keep up. Edited March 26, 20169 yr by Goalie

March 26, 20169 yr comment_190127 watched the first period - Poolman playing well and Connor with the blazing speed, looks a lot like Ehlers out there. Caggiula with the nice goal, looks like he's a free agent. Worth a free agent signing?

March 27, 20169 yr comment_190147 Mac also says he be exempt from a possible 2017 expansion draft, but would require protection in 2018. Let him turn pro next season.
March 27, 20169 yr comment_190148 One game burns an entire year? Really? Was that the case for Copp who played one game?
March 27, 20169 yr comment_190151 In the big picture really doesn't mean anything, if he wants to turn pro sign get him up here and into our system
