Ducky Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 16 minutes ago, Goalie said: ESW Connor Matthews Nor sure yet but probably not little Connor is coming for sure. The jumbotron video this afternoon at the jets game basically confirms it How's this ESW Connor Little Laine Perreault Lowry Armia Lemieux Copp Dano If we get Laine (I'd rank him 3rd and Puljujarvi 2nd), I agree with those players, maybe not the same lines but the same players. I like that Stafford is not there. It's nice to see some young players finally coming in and doing well....Scheif (drafted 5 years ago) only made the team 3 seasons ago so for 4 years of draft and develop, that isn't bad. When I look at some of the young players we have coming up and where we might pick this upcoming draft, I can't help but wonder how good this team will become.

Ducky Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I forgot to thank Ladd for Dano and that first...........hopefully a third too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) 2018 3rd. Rather hope for Blackhawks to lose in first round and get a higher first this year Edited March 21, 2016 by Goalie bustamente and Floyd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IC Khari Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) You know as far as drafting the number one overall, having Kyle Conner on a line with Matthew Tkachuk wouldn't be anything to sneeze at either. Whichever position we draft in I think the Jets will be getting very good in the next few seasons ... Edited March 22, 2016 by IC Khari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Aren't they both LWers? I like Tkachuk but not until 6th or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Tkachuk is over-rated. Because he plays with good players. Apparently Motte and Compher are total broken down bums that Connor has to carry on his shoulders while skating through entire teams and potting goals single-handedly. I was wondering why all of his goals are unassisted. EDIT - I see that Motte is a pick of the Blackhawks - should have tacked him on with Dano instead of taking that 2018 pick. Connor and Motte together again! Edited March 22, 2016 by kelownabomberfan Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connor and Motte together again! Let's not forget that Compher and Motte are both 21 and playing their 3rd year for Michigan. Connor is 19 and in his first year while setting records. Nobody said Tkachuk is no good.......most have him rated 5th or so..... Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen at least one poster say that Tkachuk is no good and that he is over-rated. Several times. Anyway, I do get that we have more pressing issues elsewhere. My desire to see Tkachuk drafted isn't just about him being a great player (and he is) it's about having another Tkachuk playing for us. Nostalgia.

Ducky Posted March 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 You can still be a good player and be over-rated. Lemieux was just on H and L. Speaks about being excited for his young friends being called up to play on the Jets....how excited he is to be going into the playoffs and that he and some other vets got a 3 game break and had a time to rest and re-load. They are meeting Kitchener in the playoffs. He speaks about learning to play the pro game and play with an edge but keep the penalty minutes down. Being a leader on the team and being disciplined. He has worked on his defensive game. Moved from standing in front of the goalie on the PP to the half wall and moving the puck more on the PP. He suggests that his agent, his dad and he asked for the trade to work on other parts of his game. He also speaks about making sure his hits aren't to the head area and they are good hits. I think he stands a good chance to make the team next year, especially since we have been getting smaller since the Kane trade.

kelownabomberfan Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I hope the game against NDSU tomorrow is on TSN 2 so I can watch it. Poolman vs Connor - epic battle!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) Winner moves on. Loser gets an ELC with the Jets probably. As for Tkachuk nobody said he wasn't good. All I've really said about him is there are better players in the draft. Ones that fit the Jets needs more. Jets picking top 4? Tkachuk? Not a chance. Top 8? They might just take him. Jets draft BPA it seems... Matthews Laine Puljujarvi Dubois are better. Chychrun Sergachev Juolevi fit our needs. Tkachuk? Not so much but if he's there and he's the BPA they probably will take him. Tkachuk goes top 8 for sure. Just unlikely he goes top 5. Size isn't an issue anymore in the nhl... they are moving towards a quicker paced skill game instead of crashing and banging all night long. Soon. Guys like thorburn Peluso Stuart... they will be extinct cuz they just won't have the speed or skill to keep up.

kelownabomberfan Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 watched the first period - Poolman playing well and Connor with the blazing speed, looks a lot like Ehlers out there. Caggiula with the nice goal, looks like he's a free agent. Worth a free agent signing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
