Jets really won. Moved up 4 spots. Jackets move up one spot. 

VNcouver fell two

 Calgary fell one 

Most of Laine's highlights are from the left wing or as left D on power play...  

 

 

I hope it's Laine it's a lot easier to spell

Sweet - lets play him at LHD all year so then everyone can stop crying about why we need that bum Enstrom.

I was thinking the same thing.  I can only imagine all of the mis-spellings of Puja-alphabet if we pick him instead of Laine.  Assuming that TO picks Auston Matthews.  I still wouldn't rule out an offer from Arizona to get Matthews.  It would have to be pretty huge.

so now what does Chevy do?  Package up some excess baggage and wrap them up with Chicago's 22nd overall and trade up for a shot at Tkachuk or Chycrun?

I'm not sure anyone top 7/8 wants to trade their pick.

Feel like buying a lottery ticket now.

Since when does it feel so good to be #2? Since when does a Winnipeg sports team nail that very lucky prize?

Well, today to start.

If there's someone that Chevy wants bad at #10 or #12, maybe worth doing.

Jets get rewarded for playing hard right down to the last game. 

Ehlers-Schiefele-Wheeler

Connor-Little-Laine

Damn that looks sexy...

That's elite top end talent 

Love to see us pick up a LHD at 22nd...

but looking at the top 30 - one of Fabbro, Gauthier, Thompson, Bellows will be there...

Quenneville and Stanley there in second round

Kale Clague with Brandon would be nice at 22 or 36. He's LHD. Should be a couple decent LHD at 22 and 36 

Some decent D-men to be had with our second 1st round pick...

This years draft could be the best ever so far for Jets 2.0

So. 

Last game of the year.  Jets down 3 0. Lose and we get Calgary spot in the draft. They come back. Tie. Scheif wins in a shootout. We lose and we ain't picking 2nd. 

Laczynski or Peeke from USHL might be on radar

HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!! That's all I can say ... with Conner in all likelihood joining the big club next year and the 2nd draft pick probably as well we get TWO franchise changers coming in at the same time! Sorry I started that tanking thread

I just got ho me and checked the lottery results..........wow!

I can't believe our luck.

TO definitely takes Matthews which leaves us Laine....wow!

He will do his army stints in the off-season.

ESW

Perreault Little Laine

Connor Petan Armia

Lowry Copp Dano

 

I'd love to see Chevy move up from 22nd and take Chychrun, Juolevi or Sergachev around 9th or 10th.

I just can't believe our luck. My apologies to Goalie, he called a top 3 pick and here it is.........wow!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BTW ... good thing Ladd moved on, he would have been the third line LW this year!

I don't think 22 plus Burmi or stafford gets you top 10

I'd consider moving myers to edmonton for pick 4 tho if they would go for it. They want rhd. Myers for 4th and we take Chychrun Sergachev Juolevi there works.  Myers plus 22 for 4th. 

Edited May 1, 20169 yr by Goalie

They'd be looking more for a Petan or Lowry and I don't think Chevy would be willing to do that.

Edited May 1, 20169 yr by IC Khari

I'd consider petan or Lowry.  Fact is both are probably bottom 6 easily replaceable players. I'd consider it 

Myers, a proven NHL d-man and a Calder Cup winner, plus a first round draft pick, just to get an unproven commodity.  Sorry, but that's just dumb.  Move expendable parts, not a top D-man, if you want to move up.
