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.

If Vesalainen is converted to centre with Armia and Laine as wingers, would that make them "The Finish Line"?

The Finnish Line. 

The scouting report on Cederholm is that he has virtually no offensive upside but skates well, is good 1 on 1, very aggressive, impressive reach and strong leadership skills.  Might not make the NHL but seems worth the effort.  Could be the next (but larger) Chiarot.

Stanley?

Stanley has more upside but is certainly a project. 

Well Im surprised. Likely means he signs with the Jets this summer. I guess being good defensively is good.. No O ability at all.. But guess we will see. Good for him. But definitely surprised. 

Moose signed Jordy Stallard to an ATO also. 

Congrats to Jets prospect Dylan Samberg and Minn-Duluth on winning the NCAA championship

Stallard/Cedarholm are the first rookie teammates to be named 1st Team All-Stars since 2017-18.

Cedarholm is one of six rookie defencemen to be named a 1st Team All-Star in the last 44 years. #GoMooseGo

12:32 PM - Apr 5, 2019

So we have the top defenseman in the AHL, the AHL ROY and a highly regarded prospect like Vesalinin among our prospect pool, all you can say to that is sweet.

Who said that??  AFAIK the only knock on McKenzie is his size.

Yup. Thats his only knock... Hes a little feisty tho so that's fun.

Hey I'm all for McKenzie, Suess and Welychka showing enough to make the Moose next season...  I hope all of them end up as Jets...

Welychka was released. Suess has a 2 way deal next year. Jets or Moose. McKenzie unless he goes back for his final year, if hes eligible.. 2 way also.

It was a joke

McKenzie is Petan 2.0  but not as good!

Good luck to both.

The only comparison between McKenzie and Petan is height and the WHL team they played for. Petan is slow.. Hes kind of soft as in he doesn't go to the dirty areas.. More of a playmaker type. 

Mckenzie is similar to Brendan Gallagher... Feisty.. Will go to the dirty areas and muck it up.. Has a good shot.

Petan also had much more points and offense then McKenzie

Goalie has been on this Petan is 'slow' kick for a long time... best to just let him be

Oh? Where? In Junior? Playing on a stacked team? Cuz Petan done eff all in the NHL. Most overrated prospect by far. Hes literally been given chances and has done nothing. Why is it relevant how many points a guy put up in Junior?

Is Petan even a prospect anymore? Cuz hes not making the Jets full time anytime soon. 

Big difference between Petan and McKenzie? You can play McKenzie as a depth/4th line guy and he will actually be noticeable.

McKenzie is to small to play on a 3rd or 4th line ...  he'll most likely succeed as a 2nd liner in the AHL.
