[antiqueslivers]

could be a monster addition to the lowry line

Off topic:
With the financial difficulties the league may face throughout and after the pandemic, I PRAY I never see a Jets jersey with a "Cash Buddy" logo on it... ANY corporate sponsorship. I know it's only a matter of time, but that is FUGLY.

If they do it (I'd prefer they don't) they should go the soccer route. Only one sponsor is featured on jerseys which doesn't feel too bad imo. European hockey jerseys are a mess but probably fund a lot of the teams.

Seems like a perfect match to play alongside Gus in a couple years.

 

[Gm0ney]

So, uh...do we ever pick again at some point in this draft?

 

[Atoyot]

Don't care for this pick when Gunler was still on the board. His U20 showing last year was good, but still worse than Gunler and Nybeck's U20 seasons in the same league two years ago. Hope it works out but I feel we let the rich get richer in Carolina.

133. It's coming.

 

[Gil Fisher]

I thought the following line from the scouting report was super-concerning:

"Nonetheless, Torgersson makes every shift count and his ridiculous league-leading shooting percentage (31.7 percent) is a testament to that."

I hope that info about shooting percentage is incorrect or mis-contextualized, if not I am worried.

Edit: Maybe he's referring to SH% from this season which is still fairly young? Hard to find official stats for swedish jr league

He's played two games (of 4) for Frolunda in the SEL so far this year. No points. So I don't think it's this year.

 

[Gil Fisher]

133. It's coming.

what is our next pick? 165ish?

 

[Atoyot]

Yeah 164 then we're done barring any moves.

I saw Gunler sitting there as well. I read something about behavioral issues and coachability. Maybe Chevy and his guys didn't think he was worth the potential hassle.

“ Torgy”

pronounced Tor-Gee

sounds like nice pick to as long as he doesn’t have the no show Swede trait.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Scouting reports make him sound like a forward analog of Logan Stanley. I think this goes into the long term project column.

Huh? This post makes absolutely friggin zero sense,

Torgy can skate and has good edging unlike Stanley plus HE DOES NOT PLAY D.

Lordy try again sporting mass.

It's from last season. This season he's at 12% so far. I agree that it's a worrisome sign, but I'm also guessing that the Jets' analysis went deeper than "he scored many goals".

That's disappointing. It makes the point totals from last season a lot less exciting if you adjust the goals scored to a sh% of 10%.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Thought I heard he had a lot of tip-ins...that would increase his sh%...goals without the shots.

Does that not count still?

 

[Gil Fisher]

I would think the goals count as shots, but assumed unsuccessful tips might credit the shot to the shooter. But i really have no idea.

He's scored pretty well at all ages.

 

[heilongjetsfan]

Seems like a good kid. Hopefully he works on his English. Then again, maybe just smile and nod at PoMo is a good idea.

 

[GNP]

Good to draft some size but i think alot around here will hate the winger pick.

_________________________________________________

I agree with this post strongly, and would have liked to have seen the Jets go after a big good skating defenseman for this 2nd round pick. I think you should draft to your weakness.

 

[GNP]

Craig Button had him at 27. Eliteprospects, #31; Dobberprospects, #33; Future Considerations, #70; Bob McKenzie, #53; and #114 by McKeen’s Hockey. He’s all over the map.

With Craig Button having him at # 27, that's impressive, and he could turn out to be a great find for the Jets -- hope so.

 

[NotCommitted]

A Swede, what is there to say.

 

[Jets 31]

That is exactly what the Jets need, a big forward to stand in front of the goalie and screen them. If he has hands and can tip pucks that's brilliant, a goalie can't stop what they can't see and it doesn't even have to be a hard shot.
