Trouba or Forsberg? Give me the RHD with #1 pair potential. Chabot was phenomenal in the WJC this year... that's about all I know of him... I wish he was in the Jets system but to say picking Connor 1 spot ahead of him was a mistake is revisionist history and I don't care to partake in that nonsense... I still believe Connor will turn out to me a good NHL player... JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Speaking of Poolman: The comment about Lemieux was in response to someone asking if he'd be called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Really hope we can get Poolman signed. It would be a big loss to our prospect pool if we lose him. What has Lemieux done to deserve a call-up? Maybe if we are out of it at the end of the season he will get a look on the 4th line. He'll get his real shot next year. Difficult to be a good tough guy/agitator in the NHL when you're only 20 years old... give him some time and he'll be with the Jets eventually I'm sure.

Goalie Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 They are much better than last year. They have a shot at the playoffs for sure. This time last year I think they had about 8 or 9 less wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I was looking up some stats today for fun and thought I'd share. With his hat trick, Laine passed Stamkos, MacKinnon, Duchene, Paul Gagne & Ron Francis for most goals by an 18 year old. Currently tied with Ted Kennedy and next up is 27, by Jagr. Laine currently on pace for 38 goals and 68 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurice should increase Laine's opportunities coming off what Mo called Laine's best performance. if I recall, didnt Ehlers' ice time and opportunities i crease in the latter stages of last season? I think the same will happen with Laine. It would be nice if he ices the Calder by finishing with 5-10 more goals than Matthews (and more points). But Matthews is really good too. So it ultimately doesnt matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Here's the full list, broken down into three segments: the cream of the crop, the sleepers and the projects. Let the debate begin. THE CREAM OF THE CROP Jack Roslovic Position: Centre Age: 20 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in first round (25th overall) of 2015 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 44 GP, 9 G, 19 A, 28 P with with Manitoba Moose of AHL The skinny: The skilled centre has made a smooth transition to the pro game after making the jump following his freshman season at Miami University. He's got great vision, is adept on the power play and is working hard to round out his 200-foot game and might get his first NHL look before the season is over. Also helped the United States capture a gold medal at the world junior hockey championship in January. Kyle Connor Position: Left wing Age: 20 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in first round (17th overall) of 2015 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 32 GP, 8 G, 10 A, 18 P with with Manitoba Moose of AHL The skinny: After starting the season in the NHL, but averaging just over 12 minutes of ice time per game while collecting one goal and four points, it was clear the 2016 Hobey Baker finalist needed some seasoning and he's been getting that. He's a dynamic skater and outstanding finisher who still projects to be a top-six forward. Eric Comrie Position: Goalie Age: 21 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in second round (59th overall) of 2012 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 35 GP, 11-19-2, 2 SO, 2.75 goals-against average, .911 save percentage with Manitoba Moose of AHL The skinny: The second-year pro has done a solid job as the No. 1 starter on a team that's lacking defensive depth. He's a student of the game and sound technically, but likely needs another season in the minors before he's ready to challenge for a spot with the big club. Michael Spacek Position: Centre/Right wing Age: 19 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in fourth round (108th overall) of 2014 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 50 GP, 25 G, 45 A, 70 P with Red Deer Rebels of WHL The skinny: The skilled Czech forward continues to progress in his second season playing in North America. He's increased his offensive numbers, using his vision and creativity to leave him in a tie for 16th in WHL scoring going into the weekend action – despite missing time while playing in his third world junior hockey championship. Should be with Moose to start next season. Tucker Poolman Position: Defence Age: 23 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in fifth round (128th overall) of 2013 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 30 GP, 5 G, 18 A, 23 P with UND Fighting Hawks of NCAA The skinny: It's been a strong junior season for the big, puck-moving blue-liner. His shot is a weapon, especially on the power play. Provided he signs a contract at the end of the UND season, his pro journey could begin immediately. If he doesn't jump right onto the third pairing with the Jets next season, he'll benefit from playing in all situations with the Moose. Brendan Lemieux Position: Left wing Age: 21 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in second round (31st overall) of 2014 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 51 GP, 8 G, 6 A, 14 P with Manitoba Moose of AHL The skinny: The feisty winger plays a hard-nosed game and is approaching double digits in goals. A player who plays on the edge, he's done a pretty good job working to find out where the line he can't cross is – which is essential for him to earn the trust of the coaching staff at the next level. He's progressing nicely. THE SLEEPERS Logan Stanley Position: Defence Age: 18 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in round (18th overall) of 2016 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 35 GP, 4 G, 13 A, 17 P with Windsor Spitfires of OHL The skinny: The six-foot-seven, 231-pound D-man had a slow start to the season after returning from NHL training camp, but seemed to be settling into a groove before suffering a knee injury that required surgery. Needs to continue to work on his mobility, but is viewed as a guy who could grow into a physical, shutdown blue-liner who makes a good first pass. Erik Foley Position: Left wing Age: 19 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in third round (78th overall) of 2014 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 29 GP, 14 G, 14 A, 28 P with Providence College Friars of NCAA The skinny: A strong skater who plays the game hard, Foley has improved his offensive numbers as a sophomore, doubling his goal totals while scoring five game-winners and adding five more on the power play. He projects to be a checker with some offensive upside and also helped Team USA win a gold medal at the world junior hockey championship. Will be interesting to see if he goes back for his junior season or decides to turn pro with the Moose in the fall. Sami Niku Position: Defence Age: 20 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in seventh round (198th overall) of 2015 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 52 GP, 5 G, 19 A, 24 with JYP Jyvaskyla in Finland The skinny: The smooth-skating Finn is having a strong season in the top Finnish men's league and some observers compare him to a left-handed version of Anaheim Ducks D-man Sami Vatanen. The Jets could use another left-handed defenceman, so getting him signed and over to North America to play for the Moose would seem like the logical next step in the development process. Chase De Leo Position: Centre/Left wing Age: 21 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in fourth round (99th overall) of 2014 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 44 GP, 11 G, 14 A, 25 P with Manitoba Moose of AHL The skinny: A hard-working forward with skill, he spent a good chunk of time with the Jets but didn't get into a game, which likely impacted his timing. He's an energetic and versatile forward who is smart and can make things happen on the ice. Pavel Kraskovsky Position: Centre Age: 20 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in sixth round (164th overall) of 2014 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 58 GP, 8 G, 10 A, 18 P with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv of KHL The skinny: There's plenty of intrigue surrounding the six-foot-four, 194-pound pivot but he's taken strides during his second full season in the Kontinental Hockey League and already has two assists in the first three playoff games. He's under contract for one more season in the KHL, so we'll see what happens after that. Jansen Harkins Position: Centre Age: 19 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in second round (47th overall) of 2015 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 53 GP, 18 G, 42 A, 60 P for Prince George Cougars of WHL The skinny: It's been another productive offensive season for the son of former NHLer Todd Harkins. He's got a high hockey IQ and looks ready to make the jump to the Moose – where he'll look to build on a steady six-game cameo at the end of last season saw him produce a goal and three points. Like most young players, Harkins needs to continue to work on his skating as he makes the jump to the pro game. Mason Appleton Position: Centre/Right wing Age: 21 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in sixth round (168th overall) of 2015 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 28 GP, 11 G, 14 A, 25 P with Michigan State Spartans of NCAA The skinny: The six-foot-two, 194-pounder has more than doubled his goal production during his sophomore season and leads the Spartans in scoring. Has a bit of edge to his game and is trending in the right direction. Matteo Gennaro Position: Centre/Left wing Age: 19 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in seventh round (203rd overall) of 2015 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 56 GP, 35 G, 30 A, 65 P with Calgary Hitmen of WHL The skinny: It's been a breakout season offensively, as the six-foot-two, 196-pounder was tied for eighth in the WHL in goals going into the weekend and was WHL player of the month in January after amassing 20 goals and 29 points in 15 games. Could join the Moose at the end of the Hitmen season. THE PROJECTS Scott Kosmachuk Position: Right wing Age: 23 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in third round (70th overall) of 2012 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 37 GP, 8 G, 11 A, 19 P with Manitoba Moose of AHL The skinny: His goal production has dipped as he's missed 16 games due to injury this season. Has a good shot, but needs a strong finish to the season and strong summer of training to get himself back into the recall discussion for next fall after playing his first eight NHL games with Jets in 2015-16. Jamie Phillips Position: Goalie Age: 23 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in seventh round (190th overall) of 2012 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 31 GP, 19-10-0, 2.63 goals-against average, .913 save percentage with Tulsa Oilers of ECHL The skinny: Signed to be the fifth goalie on the depth chart in the organization, Phillips has done an excellent job in the ECHL and was chosen to the All-Star game as a rookie pro. He's seen only two games of action in the AHL and might need at least part of another season in the ECHL before he's ready for full-time AHL duty. Luke Green Position: Defence Age: 18 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in third round (79th overall) of 2016 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 49 GP, 3 G, 26 A, 29 P with Sherbrooke Phoenix and Saint John Sea Dogs of QMJHL The skinny: The versatile puck-mover has seen a decline in his goal production but has picked up his game after a trade to Sherbrooke. He'll be back for a fourth QMJHL season in the fall and will need to continue to work on his defensive game. C.J. Franklin Position: Left wing Age: 22 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in fifth round (126th overall) of 2014 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 32 GP, 12 G, 17 A, 29 P with Minnesota State University – Mankato of NCAA The skinny: Hard-working, straight-line player has eclipsed his freshman point totals as a junior. Will be interesting to see if he returns for his senior campaign or is ready to take a shot at the pro game. Jacob Cederholm Position: Defence Age: 19 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in fourth round (87th overall) of 2016 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 30 GP, 1 G, 5 A, 6 P for Pantern IK in Swedish first division The skinny: The six-foot-three, 184 pound stay-at-home blue-liner signed a two-year deal with HV71 Jonkoping but only appeared in five games in the Swedish Elite League before he was sent to the first division. He's eligible for the world junior team in December and is likely to spend at least one more season in Sweden before coming to North America. Nelson Nogier Position: Defence Age: 20 Chosen by Winnipeg Jets in fourth round (101st overall) of 20 NHL Draft 2016-17 stats: 48 GP, 1 G, 10 A, 11 P with Manitoba Moose of AHL The skinny: Speaking of stay-at-home blue-liners, the six-foot-three, 209-pounder has done a nice job of finding his niche as a rookie pro. Brings a physical element to his game and produced a bit more offence than was expected of him. kwiebe@postmedia.com Twitter.com/WiebeSunSports Top-20 Winnipeg Jets prospects (previous ranking) 1.

Goalie Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Roslovic is a natural center who can play RW. Jets developing him as a center. He will be a damn good one soon Kyle Connor with the Hatrick tonight as moose win 4 2. Shots On goal were something like 23 to 2 at one point for San Antonio and only had a 2 1 lead. Huge night from Comrie. Really good goalie who steals games all the Time. If the Moose had an average AHL D... man oh man.
