I don't think he is a first class jerk, truth be told. But I we will see what big NHL money does to him. And yeah, he's going to be a good one. I am so happy we ended up at #2 as we get the best player in the draft now, without being forced to take the second best just because of hype. Laine is just a better fit I think.

June 18, 20169 yr comment_201403 It's 95 percent likely He's a Jet. The other 5 would be I'd Toronto took him then oh no not Matthews. Jets can sit back and let Toronto take Matthews or Laine and then take whoever they don't
June 19, 20169 yr comment_201553 I can't wait for the chants when Toronto comes to town: "Laine is better" "Laine is better"
June 19, 20169 yr comment_201555 I remember that game.... "Crosby is better".... Even Alex Ovechkin laughed on the Caps bench. That just made it better. He took it like a good sport.

Toronto is in a position to second guess themselves, we are not. Unless of course, Chevy goes off course and picks the next Alexandre Daigle.

Pretty strong draft year.

June 19, 20169 yr comment_201618 Oh well. Then we get Matthews. A potential 1 2 Scheifs Matthews for 8 to 10 years would just be awful. If we were picking first 95 percent chance we take Matthews. I'd almost even say 100 percent chance. Edited June 19, 20169 yr by Goalie
June 19, 20169 yr Author comment_201628 As good as Laine will be, the Jets would be far better off with Matthews.
June 19, 20169 yr comment_201632 Agreed. Matthews is a center. A legit franchise Center. Laine is a nice consolation prize but if the jets had the first pick and took a winger over a franchise Center I'd be pissed
June 19, 20169 yr comment_201645 Laine v. Matthews = Don't care... without the lottery, we'd be debating Juolevi v Chychryn

June 19, 20169 yr comment_201746 Even if they pick him, Matthews as a consolation prize isn't a bad thing.
June 21, 20169 yr comment_202078 I personally would rather have Matthews on the Jets, but that's just me. Either way, you're getting a really good player.
June 21, 20169 yr comment_202079 Laine, Matthews, who cares Like Floyd said, at least we're not debating lower level guys. We get one of the elite.
June 22, 20169 yr comment_202221 Quote Selanne, one of the most popular athletes to ever play in Winnipeg, believes the fit there will be good for Laine. “I think Winnipeg is the best landing place for him,” Selanne said. “They have a great history with Finnish players and a great appreciation for Finnish players, the fans. I’m so happy I started there, and I can only highly recommend it. It looks like he’s going there and he’s going to enjoy because of the passion people in Winnipeg have for hockey.”
June 23, 20169 yr comment_202428 FWIW Bobby mac from tsn thinks there is a very real chance the jets take Puljujarvi because of his better 200 foot game.
