In all seriousness he looks like a good prospect and a steal in the 7th round but I wouldn't expect him in the NHL any time in the next couple years (aside from possible late-season looks or emergency call-ups). There is a hole on the left side but it really should be filled from outside the organization. bustamente and blue_gold_84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a hole on the left side but it really should be filled from outside the organization. I know, it felt weird writing that. lol But not an 18/19 year old going to the Moose for 4 years. I'd say he could be up within a year or two, if only for injuries etc. There will always be injuries. But if he's 22/23/24 I'd say he gets a shot. Moose should be better, that's for sure. I wonder if the offer Postma a two-way deal (or if he'd accept it) to keep some experience but allow him to go to the Moose cheaply. Someone refresh me, whats the Jets/Moose D looking like next season so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Pop Posted May 15, 2017 Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 If Niku turns into anything remotely close to Enstrom pre-2013, that's huge. Speaking of huge, Niku is not. 165 lbs I thought I saw on twitter?! That's like one of Buff's arms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His Elite Prospects profile has him at 6'0" and 176lbs. 20 years old. so he has room for improvement. if he can get up to 190-ish. All depends how he plays. A little more muscle always helps. And the Jets seem high on fitness. Now he's under contract they can begin working with him more closely. Jimmy Pop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted May 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Some interesting remarks on Sami from Jetsnation: Niku was projected prior to his draft-eligible season to be a second or third round pick; he then proceeded to fall on draft day. Some have speculated a disappointing international year for the Finns, while others believe that Niku’s performance in the Mestis had to do with his fall, despite the fact the left-shot defender put up 25 points in 39 games in a professional men’s league, just four points fewer in same number of games played than the second-round drafted forward Julius Nattinen. The smooth skating offensive defender had an excellent Draft+1 year, putting up 11 points in 38 games in the Liiga with an impressive defensive showing for the gold medal Finnish World Junior team. Niku’s point per game production was the highest for under 20 defenders and the fourth highest for under 20 skaters. With a 53.8 per cent Corsi, Niku actually was one of the best shot differential rookies in the entire Liiga. While Niku is a legitimate prospect, and is projected at providing more value than the average seventh round draft selection, one reason why Niku is so high is that organizational environment impacts the probability a player hits their celling.

Jimmy Pop Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 No clue who this guy is - but if it means one of Vatanen, Lindholm, Manson, Theodore or Fowler shakes loose from ANA, Jets better be making some calls.... Goaltending be damned - improving the D is priority #1 for me. Starts with getting (by force, if necessary) Trouba to sign long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
