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.

 

Nice to see Stanley chugging along

Berdin. Yup.

he let in 4 goals?? 

 

Great celebration. Especially liked the Vince McMahon walk at the end!

I wonder what they do in the future with all these goalies....  I assume Phillips might be the odd man out?

All what goalies?  Comrie hasn't proven he is NHL ready... who else do we have?

Mason doesn't re-signed after his contract. Helly gets an extension of 5 years @ 4.5+ this offseason even if he falls back to earth. Mason, Hutch are now off the books and you hope that Comrie is NHL backup caliber. Comrie has been tagged as a potential NHL player but I really don't see it personally. Prove me wrong please Comrie. Can never have too many quality tenders in the NHL

Comrie is/was looked upon to be a better prospect then Hellebuyck.

Yeah, draft position wise for sure.

I think this is one of those "goalies are voodoo" cases. Comrie as a full timer had .906 and then .907 career avg while Helle sported back to back .921 and .922 in the A. Granted Comrie is having the best year of his career and has reached .920 (for now). If he could maintain that we could have one hell of a duo in a couple of years when he's ready.  

Statistically Helle just blows Comrie out of the water and at the end of the day that's what it comes down to regardless of draft position.

As Brandon said Comrie has been considered a better prospect than Helle and I’ve read in some circles for a year that Berdin is better than both.   But with prospects you never know. 

Good problem to have.

What? You absolutely 100% can. That's exactly what gets better goalies more playing time

How is it apples and oranges? You're comparing two players who play the same position.

At different times with a different set of players... The Moose these season are light years more talented then what they were the last two seasons.

But Hellebuyck played with different - and inferior - players during his time in the AHL, too. And he posted excellent numbers in his two seasons with the Ice Caps and Moose, respectively.

And the two played together in the AHL during the 2015-16 season, with the exact same roster. Hellebuyck's numbers that season were superior to Comrie's.

Hellebuyck: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=144065

Comrie: http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=132742

Comrie is also 2 years younger then Hellebuyck... so if we compared the stats based on where they were in development..... Comrie is right on par with what Helle had done. 

Comrie was also drafted 3 rounds earlier...

Most NHL experts also have suggested that Comrie has the higher upside.  

The guy is a top prospect and could be the starting goalie of the future.

 

Clague looking like he'll be top pairing for Canada WJC

Still so crazy that we could have had him AND Johansen as LHD prospects...

I'll take one great prospect (Stanley) over two pretty good ones (Clague and Johansen).

I was with you until you mentioned where they were drafted like that actually matters. 

No. Most have said Helle is legit. Comrie has yet to prove anything in the A. This is a big year for him.. This and next...
