Goalie Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 No. They are saying it would be close between Eichel and Matthews but once they thought about it for 20 minutes, It's eichel all day every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 McDavid to the Canadian team and Eichel to the 'Murican team......that's pretty much how I wanted things to go, in my mind.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postma will see time and I wouldn't be surprised if another d man started some games while Stu is out too. If we finished higher than 28th, I will be surprised. Leave Helle in the minors. Call Harrison up and play him on the first pairing. Play Hutch the rest of the season....I want Matthews. I knew it wouldn't take long for Postma to draw in... Is it because of Pardy's play or does another team want to see him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Thought Pardy was ok the last game he played, as good as Postma was last game. Didn't get much ice time. Hard to say, maybe a team is interested in Pardy? I don't know, maybe the Jets themselves want to see what they got in Postma? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostyWinnipeg Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Who will be in for the next game? Pardy? Maybe Morrisey for Tuesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Morrissey might get a few games but it won't be until after the trade deadline, probably in March sometime. Not until the Jets are actually eliminated since they aren't actually tanking. Postma Chiarot or Pardy Chiarot for now for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted February 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Just gonna add, since the topic is originally about STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU The PK sure looks much better without him doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 It sure does. Maurice took my suggestion about Armia on the PK too. Glad he comes here once in awhile, don't know where we'd be if he didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 Worst Corsi on the team, worst PKer in the league, 2.625m per year for two more years and he's lost a step since last season.....why is he on this team again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 H&L think Stu should be on the farm teaching the kids to be professionals and the first call up.........interesting thinking. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostyWinnipeg Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Well with Harrison gone the oldest guy is what 26? They could use a vet player/coach like this guy... Edited April 23, 2016 by FrostyWinnipeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a lot to bury on the farm but I can see him staying with the organization and becoming a coach on the farm and who knows, maybe with the Jets one day! I don't think Stu is an unintelligent player, he is just slow and makes poor plays with the puck in his zone. The Jets have lost Kane, Bogo, Ladd and if the lose Stu, that is a lot of big men to take off of your team. Replacements are Dano, Myers, Morrissey?, and Staf (soon to not be here). It looks good for Lemieux to make the team with his size and attitude. We've lost a lot. I know we are going smaller and more skilled but you can't get too small. I can't wait for the freaking draft!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted April 23, 2016 Report Share Posted April 23, 2016 If he's willing to accept that with a positive attitude, that could be a win-win. Still makes his money, contributes to the teams development and is available if half the D corp gets injured. I read somewhere (probably here) that he is married to a Winnipegger. So its a way to stay in town too, if that is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted April 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 His wife actually worksfor TNSE. NHL seems to be going towards a more skilled player these days. Don't think size is a big issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'll just ignore that since I'm not 16 anymore. Nhl is going to a more skilled game. We already have size in Lowry buff trouba for that matter. I'll take the smaller skilled guys over guys like thorburn Peluso Stuart every day of the week.

Ducky Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I would too but given the same talent every GM will go for the bigger body every time. We lost a lot of size and grit is all I'm saying. This could bode well for Lemieux. If Petan had size with his talent, he would have been a top 10 pick. As far as D men goes, I like lotsa height and weight on the blueline. Enstrom is the only smaller D man in the lineup. We ice a D corps with some attitude in Buff and Stu and Trouba too to a point. Chiarot has a bit of a 'tude too now that I think of it. All big guys, even Postma (not very nasty tho). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Interesting to note that there is some talk that Laine could go 1st overall and the World Championships coming up could be a huge determining factor in who does go 1st overall, Laine is ripping it up, 10 goals 15 points in 18 playoff games in Finland also playing against MEN, Matthews hasn't played in a while. C'MON DRAFT LOTTO GODS... GIVE US A TOP 3 PICK SO we can really really get a game changer... Laine,Matthews, Puljujarvi would be awesome to have in a Jets jersey, any of the 3.

Ducky Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) I'll make you any bet you want that Matthews is 1st overall.....anything you want to lose in a bet I will cover. A top 3 would be SOOOOOOOOOOO nice. I honestly think Matthews and this young team would be serious contenders in less than three seasons... but what do I know. I thought picking up Jokkinen and Seto were good moves. Edited April 27, 2016 by Ducky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Definitely heard some talk that there are people out there who wouldn't take Matthews first overall but I'll be shocked, SHOCKED I say, if he isn't number one. And I know there is a shot at the top 3 but my heart tells me the Jets will pick 7th overall. Maybe we can get Chychrun or Tkachuk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) TSN had a little piece on the draft and released their rankings, Chychrun actually has fallen quite a bit since his pre-season ranking... Some concern there about his hockey sense which is quite high on the JETS wishlist of things they want in their players. They interviewed 10 random scouts and i believe only 4 of them had Chychrun in the top 10. Something off there with that kid, Not sure what it is... I think a name to keep an eye on for the JETS if they are picking in that 7 range would be Tyson Jost, a center who looked like the best player by far at the U18's in Grand Forks... think he's the type of guy the Jets would definitely go far. He's a riser, much like Scheifele was throughout his draft year, Just screams Jets type of pick to me, I know LHD is a concern but... with Chicagos pick and our 2nd, there should be a couple LHD or D in general to pick from with those 2 picks, Guys like Dante Fabbro, yeah he's a RHD but... who cares what hand he plays, he could be there at 22, was named one of canadas best players at U18's along with Jost and Howden i think was the other guy. Whatever, whoever the JETS pick, I'm sure will be fine but... i'm starting to really believe that they don't go D with their first pick... There is nothing really there seperating the big 3 LHD, Chych, Juloevi and Sergachev, they all have potential to be very good, so unless you are absolutely convinced 1 is better than the other, I'm not sure you pick one of those guys just cuz LHD is an area of concern... I also don't think any of them (chychrun included) would make the team next season, i think they all need a year or 2 even still in junior... I'm fine with whoever they pick but having a high 20's pick and a high 2nd round pick also, well, i dunno, tells me they might lean towards BPA at 7 (if thats where they pick) and maybe grab LHD or D men in general with the other 2 picks. I dunno, drafting for need isn't really what you do in the NHL is it? You generally draft the best player available when it's your time to pick, will that be Chychrun when the Jets pick? Will it Jost? Tkachuk? Dubois even? Who knows, that's for the scouts to decide really. They get to talk to these guys behind the scenes, in person, see what they are like as people, I think that plays a role in who they will pick, theres been lots of fallers in NHL drafts gone by because of how poorly they interviewd or what teams learned in the interview about them, there have also been some risers (scheifele) being one based on all those intangibles also. I don't think you go in to a draft saying we need help on LHD this year so let's take the best LHD man available, You have to think longer term with the draft cuz outside the top 3, it's pretty unlikely that any of these guys are on a roster next season.
