Kyle Connor has 48 point in 27 games an average of 1.7787 points per game .

Dylan Larkin had 47 points in 35 games for the same team last year for an average of 1.343 points per game .

Jack Eichel had 71 points in 40 games in his last year of college for  an average of 1.775 points per game .

I see Connor making the team in the fall and actually signing in March and getting a couple of weeks on the Jets roster at the end of the season.

I am hoping to see Connor on one wing with Wheeler or Ehlers or Armia on the other wing with Scheif or Matthews at center.

Going forward... Connor Scheif Wheeler Armia Ehlers and Matthews/Laine/Puljujärvi look like a pretty solid top 6 for a few years.

Lemieux, Roslovic, Petan, Copp, Lowry, Harkins, De Leo,  Lipon, and Spacek will be fighting for roster spots sooner or later.

We have Comrie and Helle and Phillips for depth in goal and look to be set for some time.

Our D, on the other hand, needs some help on the depth. Besides Morrissey, there isn't much coming up the pike on the left hand side and I fully expect the Jets to take some LHD at this draft or trade for one by this time next year. There is Sami Niku and not much else. The RHD right now is very good but not a great deal coming up the pike. Hopefully Kostalek makes the team in at least a 3rd pairing position and hopefully Glover and/or Poolman and/or Nogier turn out.

 

Jets just need to keep up the suck....landing Matthews won't even require a "miracle" if we have a 10% shot.

 

hahahahhahaha

good line

Natural hat trick for Connor in the 2nd period. 3  goals in 8 minutes and 21 seconds. He's gonna be fun to watch next year.

I really hope this kid is the real deal and along with a top 3 pick we should have a nice young core to built around, but please do not rush any of these players that mistake will bite us in the arse.  A few bonafide goal scorers and a blue chip goalie and we are on our way.

See Edmonton Oliers as a reference.

4 goals for Connor. Wow.

including a natural  hatty....the kid's gonna be something.

He's also a winger. LW. He can play center but him on the wing would be the best spot. Needs to play with a playmaker.

Ehlers Scheif Wheeler 

Connor Matthews Armia 

That's nice. 

The kid is stepping up big time in the playoffs.

Nice goal to tie it.

Boy Wonder

1.917 ppg.......wow.

No way is he not in a Jets' uni next fall.

If we don't get Matthews, I wonder where Maurice places him? Fourth line with Copp and Thorbs? Just kidding...

I'd like to see him with Scheif and Armia but Maurice will probably say that is too young at the wings. Armia and Scheif are both very good defensively and I think it would make a hell of a line. Unless he plays him with Wheeler and Scheif?

This situation didn't start this year and won't be resolved this year. The makeup of the jets had to be addressed for the long term when they arrived here from Atlanta. Does anybody not think the Jets "organization", in its totality, is better off now than when they were a franchise in Atlanta? Did fans really believe because the Jets made the playoffs last year that 'powerhouse team' was just around the corner?  From where we were, to where the Jets are headed, I believe this team is way ahead. Now, what has to be addressed is the right mixture of heady vets and ready rooks. There's talent there, we just have to have it complemented.

I just don't want us to become another version of the Edmonton Oilers with season after season of losing along with big promises of great things on the horizon that never materialize. I really thought the Jets turned a corner last season & were on the up & up as a team but then Chevy changed directions last summer. You just get the impression that fans think that having a team of young kids will be better but there's no guarantee that a young team will mature into a great team. Again, see the Edmonton Oilers.

Veterans like wheeler, little, buff will make us better than the oilers.

I'd like to see what Little and Connor can do together.  Leave Ehlers/Scheif/Wheeler alone.

Yeah been 24hrs since Connor's last game and no contract yet?

He's still playing in the tournament. 

Michigan is still alive. They won the big 10 but now move on to play I almost want to say Farris State. It's on the 25th tho.  

Michigan is playing Notre Dame
