sweep the leg Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Similar to how Ehlers was only racking up points in Junior b/c he was playing with Drouin. Floyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eakins had a better roster than Kreuger did and Kreuger got that team to play a lot better. When Eakins was fired last year Nelson had that team winning a hell of a lot more as well until the point that MacT stupidly gave way Petry and crippled the defense. This year is night and day from Eakins as well. Sure they still suck in the standings but the play is so much better and I am a firm believer that without the massive amount of impactful injuries that team would be significantly higher in the standings. Hell they were creeping close to a playoff race before Klefbom got hit with the bad luck. Then as people are getting excited for McDavid coming back and having 3 lines that present matchup problems RNH gets hurt. If you think it's the same old Oilers this year you're not paying attention.

On this we can agree. When it comes to the Oilers I pay as little attention as possible. The Unknown Poster, Floyd and Ducky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Wait I thought Tkachuk was over-rated because he played with Matthews.... so confused. Pass on Keller, not interested in an under-sized centre. Dubois and Tkachuk seem like very very similar players... I'm fine with either of them or the Finns. After that, I still like Juolevi.

Hey, someone has to play with all of these super-stars. Meanwhile, Chychrun will suck with the Moose but that's ok because he plays LHD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducky Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 What makes you think Chychrun will suck? sweeptheleg, I couldn't tell if you were being sarcastic or not but Ehlers didn't play on the same line as Drouin. They played together on the PP though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the captain of Don Cherry's team against Tkachuk and Bobby Orr in the future prospects game this year. Apparently if you captain a future prospects team you are no good.

Goalie Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) I never said Tkachuk sucks, I just don't think he's the guy the Jets should be targeting with their pick. I think there are better options out there. Jets have a bit of LW depth, they lack LHD depth big time and Centers, well, you can never have 2 many centers cuz they can play other positions. It's not easy for a LW like Tkachuk to come and play Center. It is easier for a guy like Keller or Dubois who are natural centers to play the wing tho. Tkachuk is fine if the LHD guys or Centers are gone when we are picking, I just think we will be picking top 5, top 3 even and I don't see us taking Tkachuk. Matthews, Laine,Puljujarvi,Dubois,Chychrun,Sergachev. 2 Centers. 2 wingers. 2 LHD. What it will come down 2 is how well they interview also, None of us will be there for that, so to be quite honest, just based on the Jets drafting record so far, whoever they pick, That's fine with me. I just don't think they will take Tkachuk over a LHD. Edited March 9, 2016 by Goalie Ducky 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dispute that claim. Anyway, I get that we need a good center and so I know we won't get Matthews, but this Blanche Dubois guy might be the ticket. We'll see.

Ducky Posted March 11, 2016 Report Share Posted March 11, 2016 Matthews would speed up the rebuild of this team by quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
