Winnipeg Jets Top 20 Prospects 2014 - #11

[StronGeer]

There's always the 'shiny new toy syndrome' each year, but I'm not sure. Kinda hard to backtrack, as we have the benefit of 20/20 hindsight - we can't really mix our current prospects in with those and revote, as we can't really pretend we don't know what happened to the old batch.

I will say this: the ceiling for some of our new prospects are higher: Petan, Ehlers, Morrissey, de Leo & Lodge (maybe and maybe), etc. Still room for them to bust, but I don't see anyone beyond Scheifele that has those kind of high end skills.

I'd agree with that.

Wow: interesting.

Leveille is in the ECHL. Jets didn't sign him to a contract and we received a compensation pick (#59 2013), which we used on Eric Comrie.

Klingberg is #2 on that old list, look at the season he had prior:

That's nothing to even remotely get excited about.

AHL playoffs;
Kichton 21 gms, 2g, 5a, 7 pts.
Lipon 14 gms, 0 g, 1a, 1pts.

 

[Guilty Party]

I went with Kichton. Sorry Sweech.
Dood brings the offense from the back end...and in shootouts too.

 

[Inflict]

Voted De Leo. He has boom or bust potential, but could be a high scoring forward for us down the line.

 

[bluuuurr]

Poooooooolman. I believe in Poolman.

That's pretty damn sweet

That's pretty damn sweet

It's like interest in a bank account. Hold on to a draft pick, but never sign him, turns into much more value.

 

[allan5oh]

Keep in mind he was a 1st round pick originally...

 

[garret9]

Then your just basing Glover on draft position not talent

Shush you know me better than that. I'm completely open to Glover being a tier higher than these guys, but he isn't there yet for me.

 

[JC Numminen]

Poooooooolman. I believe in Poolman.

My dark horse. I have a great feeling about this kid. I feel he will be a good bottom pairing D man on the Jets in about 3 years.

 

[Boreal]

I voted Poolman. More of a protest vote then anything, to be honest. I am not as high on Lipon as many around here, and I figured that he was likely to run away with this (Copp is closer then I thought he would be).

I love Poolman's upside. If he can develop his offensive game a bit at UND he becomes a very interesting piece. Big bodied player, with a lot of a jam to his game.

 

[CanWin]

Honestly, I'm a fan as well. I hope I can catch a few college games to watch his development. He's got something.

I mean, I havent seen quite enough of him to be able to rate him over a few of the guys remaining, but he is very exciting. Low risk high reward type guy IMO.

 

[Huffer]

Between Lipon and Copp for me.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

We actually have a lot of decent prospects at this point. Something I couldn't say 3 years ago

Apart from Scheifele The list that's left now is probably better than the list at the start in 2011.
