Scott Wheeler of the Athletic ranks all Jets prospects. His definition includes only players 22 and under and excludes all players 23 and older plus player 22 and under considered full time NHL players including Kyle Connor.

I don't particularly like his ranking of Spacek and Hankins. He seems really high on Foley and Niku.

Interesting that he's so high on Foley, Petan and Comrie.

Disappointing to see how low he has Samberg ranked. Corey Pronman previewed Team USA and had a blurb about Samberg which had a more positive outlook on him than Wheeler did:

World Junior Championship preview: Team USA

Dylan Samberg, D, Winnipeg

NHL draft: Second round, 43rd overall in 2017
Samberg has looked good this season, playing all situations for Duluth as a freshman. He’s big, is mobile for a guy his size, moves the puck fine and is solid defensively. He provides a lot of tools for the USA and the ability to play at both ends, even if he’s not a dynamic player.

Hopefully Samberg makes Team USA and we can see him for ourselves.

This is ample evidence that the Athletic is not worth paying for.

I have been high on Foley for a while. At Summer camp he was a good fit with Rozlo and Connor. They had a good connection. I see him fitting in well on a line with Rozlo. We need more players with the combo of grit with offensive talent for playoff success .

I am pleasantly surprised with Appetton as well. I predicted he would do very well at the A.H.L. level but thought it would take a year to get accustomed to the league. Appleton has surpassed my expectations this year. His play has been dominating this year.

C.J. Seuss is 23 years old and not eligible for the above prospect ranking, but........ If eligible I would have placed him in the top 10. As he is a gritty scorer that has 22 points in 18 games so far for M.S.U.

I hope we can sign him in March. He is graduating this year and can go U.F.A. on Aug 15.

So, have you watched play? Did you cite his plus/minus? Where's Garret?
Click to expand...

I never claimed to have watched him play, just stat watching here. Citing +/- was probably a bit unfair of me but I figured that he is probably not the kind of player who is out on EN situations which are responsible for a large portion of pollution of the +/- stat

I wouldn't be that harsh. Only 4 points and a -5. I think there are concerns about him, could be a Jack Glover type situation.

He took a big jump from small town high school hockey to the NCAA so he is adjusting. He is a bit raw still but I loved the the pick when we made it and like it more now. Samberg is going to play for us in the NHL one day and I predict he will be in our top 4.

I see Vesalainen listed as a centre on some stats websites. Does anyone know when he last consistently played centre? Additionally, does anyone who watches him play know if he could likely handle centre at the pro level? It would be great to have another centre prospect with high-end potential.

Samberg wasn't even supposed to be in the NCAA. He was supposed to be in the USHL for a year due to UMD's depth at D. Only reason he's on the team is someone left. So we can assume he's playing third pairing.

Probably best to wait until next year before we start hitting the panic button.

Do we know when the final cuts will be? Love to see the kid in action.

They just played their first pre-tourney game 14-0 vs Belarus. They have another one on Friday against Sweden who beat Denmark tonight 13-1. Not sure if they'll cut down before that game but most certainly by Saturday.

Canada beat Czech 9-0 BTW. Lots of lopsided games.

Most of the posters on team USA thread seem to have him penciled into their final 7 but who really knows yet I guess?

Maybe nice to have him on roster for experience for next year. Not sure of age of rest of dmen. Samberg seems to burst with character.
