Brian Strait Recalled (Yeah I'm Serious)


Goalie

Recommended Posts

5 assists in 27 games for the Moose and possibly their worst d man.

 

Called up...

 

If Toby can't go tomorrow, our top 4 D will consist of 

 

Buff Morrissey 

Trouba Strait/Melchiori/Stuart

Postma/ Strait/Melchiori/Stuart

 

You think the D zone play is bad now, OHHH boy... Hawks are gonna steam roll us.

Winnipeg Jets defensive depth...

2011

Buff, Bogo, Enstrom, Oduya, Stuart, Hainsey, Postma, Clitsome, Kulda, Flood

2017

Buff, Trouba, Myers, Morrissey, Enstrom, Stuart, Postma, Chiarot, Melchiori, Strait

I guess there's some progress...  I guess.

Nothing in the pipe for another 2-3 years though

Poolman and Niku look like they will be good players. 

 

Gotta start drafting more D men tho, Valimaki would be a guy I'd hope they look at this draft. 

At this rate, we'll draft Liljegren.  

Given that we're essentially out of the playoffs anyway, I'd be fine with that.

I'm not surprised we would bring up Strait.  We are down to our 10th defenceman... can't expect them to be pulling a superstar out of their butts.  I'm not expecting much but don't think we have any better right now.  Maybe Czuczman I guess but as mentioned he is not Jets property.

For the most part when college guys go the FA route it's to play closer to home.  

For Poolman the closest city to home for him is Winnipeg 

This is a guy who has come to all our Development camps... who has said he stayed at ND because 1. His dad is part of the staff and 2. His brother started playing there this year. He is not some bright lights big city kid... he's a prairie kid from Grand Forks.

I think its 95 percent likely he signs here.

In our playoff year, around this time of year... the Jets were fielding a D core of Pardy, Harrison, Brouillette, Kellerby...  and winning.

Harrison or Pardy would have actually been an upgrade for this year's 'depth'

Agreed.  The depth is not as good now as it was then.  But we're younger... that's what everyone always wants, isn't it?

Actually, it is.

Our most responsible defencemen are 21 and 22 years old.

Our tire fires are 31 and 32.

Byfuglien is our best defenceman so I know you're not referring to him. 

But hey, losing is awesome!  We're number young!  We're number young!
