Kid seems like a generational talent. I don't think he is a first class jerk, truth be told. But I we will see what big NHL money does to him. And yeah, he's going to be a good one. I am so happy we ended up at #2 as we get the best player in the draft now, without being forced to take the second best just because of hype. Laine is just a better fit I think.

Goalie Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 It's 95 percent likely He's a Jet. The other 5 would be I'd Toronto took him then oh no not Matthews. Jets can sit back and let Toronto take Matthews or Laine and then take whoever they don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iso_55 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I remember that game.... "Crosby is better".... Even Alex Ovechkin laughed on the Caps bench. That just made it better. He took it like a good sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toronto is in a position to second guess themselves, we are not. Unless of course, Chevy goes off course and picks the next Alexandre Daigle.

Pretty strong draft year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Oh well. Then we get Matthews. A potential 1 2 Scheifs Matthews for 8 to 10 years would just be awful. If we were picking first 95 percent chance we take Matthews. I'd almost even say 100 percent chance.

Ducky Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 As good as Laine will be, the Jets would be far better off with Matthews. JCon and Goalie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Agreed. Matthews is a center. A legit franchise Center. Laine is a nice consolation prize but if the jets had the first pick and took a winger over a franchise Center I'd be pissed JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Even if they pick him, Matthews as a consolation prize isn't a bad thing. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I personally would rather have Matthews on the Jets, but that's just me. Either way, you're getting a really good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Laine, Matthews, who cares Like Floyd said, at least we're not debating lower level guys. We get one of the elite. Goalie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Quote Selanne, one of the most popular athletes to ever play in Winnipeg, believes the fit there will be good for Laine. “I think Winnipeg is the best landing place for him,” Selanne said. “They have a great history with Finnish players and a great appreciation for Finnish players, the fans. I’m so happy I started there, and I can only highly recommend it. It looks like he’s going there and he’s going to enjoy because of the passion people in Winnipeg have for hockey.” The Unknown Poster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goalie Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 FWIW Bobby mac from tsn thinks there is a very real chance the jets take Puljujarvi because of his better 200 foot game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
