Ducky Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I am just wondering if anyone out there would like to make a friendly wager about whether Connor makes the team this year or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 how are the Knights so good at getting US talent? The Jets should have somehow helped out Hawerchuk and got Roslovic onto the Barrie Colts. Rather see Barrie win than London all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Interesting. Doesn't playing in the OHL open up some better development opportunities as far as what he can do with the jets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to the OHL would mean the Jets could pay for his travel to be in camp, etc. NCAA would forbid that. However, he is American and from Ohio. Nothing wrong with getting a College education to boot. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 I'm glad he's planning to head back wherever it might be. Should be a good player. Will take time. But has a good chance to be a really good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 My primary concern with Connor is the same as with Mark Schiefele - - - - does he have enough beef and strength on him at such an early age to avoid being a virtual bambi against NHL wolves. Jets got lucky with Mark, as he learned a lot from taking abuse and built himself into a solid #1 line centre (#2 with a lot of other competitive teams) centre. Will the Jets have the same fortune with Connor? Training camp will give us a bit of an indication but keep in mind NHL exhibition games don't have the same level of ferocity as most regular season games, let alone playoffs.

kelownabomberfan Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 imagine how fast a line of Ehlers, Connor and Scheifele would be? How would you skate with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting and finishing 2 diff things. Need defined guidelines here. If he's on the roster when the season starts does that count? Cause he could be sent down and stay there all year. Making the team is 41+ games and either starts or finishes season IMHO. Barring injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I'm wrong because that means he's earned the spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 They wont make the same mistake they made with Petan. Unless Connors really blows someone off that top six, he goes to the Moose so he can play big minutes and build confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Pop Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 The wildcard with Connor is what, if anything, was agreed to by him and the organization when he signed his contract. I don't pretend to know how these things work, but is there not a chance he signed a deal based on the idea he'd be getting NHL time? And if so, would that not mean that unless he has a real poor camp and preseason, he'll be a Jet for the better part of the season? Personally, I'll like him in the AHL to start the year, at the least. We need to start building a winner down there, and a winner that gets W's playing the Jets system, with Jet prospects. Potentially having Connor, Petan, Lemieux, Tanev, De Leo etc down there would sure add some competition. We've got enough skill in the top 6 without Connor, this year anyways, and in the bottom 6 I think there's enough talent to fill the lineup - and keep Thorburn and Peluso off the gameday lineup.

Goalie Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Not sure. But like I said it wouldn't surprise me to see a trade involving one or more of Lowry Stafford Armia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
