Noeller Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 It's a low end draft year...no real high end guy like McJesus or Crosby. Patrick is/was consensus #1 guy, but it's a low bar this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 14 hours ago, Goalie said: I'm not convinced he does. I think it depends on who is drafting first overall. I think there's a real possibility Liljegren goes 1st overall. Patrick's ceiling they say is 2nd line center. Be nice to have but... there's a few more interesting prospects for sure. Nico Hishier ( spelling) from Halifax. People say he's the Swiss ehlers but a center. Hes a guy I'd take... not 1st but 4th 5th 6th ish I would This coming from the guy that said the Jets might not pick Laine and might go with Puljujarvi instead...

kelownabomberfan Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 I was just looking at the 1988 draft year and I saw that Chevy was drafted only six picks after Teemu.

I like how you act like what ever you suggest always happens and what everyone else suggests NEVER does... considering you are trading players every other day and making line ups in your own little fantasy world, this is truly what is referred to as the POT calling the Kettle black.

Poolparty will probably start to really blossom next year and narrow the gap, but right now there was no question who the Jets should have drafted with that second-rounder. So glad to see Laine in a Jets uniform and not in an ugly Oiler or Columbus uniform. Floyd and The Unknown Poster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of a difference between trade proposals and you saying the Jets might not take Laine at 2nd or Patrick won't go 1st overall, no? A trade proposal isn't predicting anything. Predictions? I was the one that said Connor would start with the big team and Thorbs shouldn't be dressed. Also said Petan deserved a chance to be called up just before they called him up. I have also been a BIG supporter of Armia and he was playing really well before his injury......those 4 things are what most people on here jumped on me for saying and all came true. Same as last year in late November when I said the Jets weren't going to make the playoffs. I'll be the first to admit that i didn't think Tanev would start with the big team or they had the balls to send Pavs down although I said it is what should be done. I didn't think they would sit Stu for as many games as they have either. Oh ya, I remember you trying to lecture me why Staf deserved tobe on the team this year too..hahahahhahash. Almost as laughable as Werenski taking the Calder over Laine if it were decided now...hahahahhash... Puljujarvi wasn't in junior?

A 19 year old defenceman playing 22 minutes on the best team in the league - that WAS one of the worst last year - with 20+ pts and massive fancy stats... he deserves the Calder. sweep the leg and Goalie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 They're being patient with PoolParty. No need to rush him. It's worked out really well with Dr Drai so far... kelownabomberfan and Ducky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Werenski has been outstanding so far this season. I'd vote for Laine b/c I'm a homer, but they're both having great years. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 It wasn't until the juniors and really the Finnish championship series that Laine pulled ahead of Puljujarvi. At this point last year Puljujarvi was the number 2 prospect behind Matthews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted December 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Hirschier scored a 2 goals for Switzerland against Canada. I didn't see the game but a buddy told me he was dominating most every time he was on the ice. Foley got 2 assists and Roslo got a goal for USA.

It was a game winner for Spacek, too. Not bad. Carter Hart had a dreadful game for Canada tonight. That score really flattered the Russians.
