Speculation: 2019 NHL Entry Draft Thread

[Daximus]

I wonder is Bret Leason will be available come our first pick in the 2nd round? Apparently his stock has dropped a bit.

Probably not enough for him to drop that far. I think he still goes early 2nd round.

 

[DEANYOUNGBLOOD17]

I miss our first round pick..

Our pick is @ # 22 right now but will guarantee move up to 21 with the winner of Stl vs Dallas going to the Western confrence final.

If Coldorado beats San Jose it moves to #20......

If Columbus beats Boston it moves to #19.

Edit..... If Carolina beats Wash in game 7......and then beats NYI it will move to #18

Yeah that pick would be mighty nice right now.

Looks like we'll pick 53, 115 and 146 unless we acquire more picks. I think it might still be able to change as well.

I really like the thought of going after Mads Soogard with our 2nd rounder. I know most people don't like picking goalies high but the truth of the matter is the best ones usually go top 3 rounds. Wiht our 4th rounder I'm hoping a guy like Karl Henriksson is still there. With our 5th it doesn't really matter. Just take best guy on your list.

 

[Jets 31]

Nothing to look forward to really, unless Chevy does something on draft day.

I would rather have tonnes of interest on trade deadline day because we are looking to add a piece or pieces for the playoffs . Having said that i wouldn't be surprised if Chevy makes a trade or two on draft day .

I have a feeling Chevy will acquire multiple draft picks for this draft (Trouba trade, Perrault trade + one other player). It is going to be an exciting draft day for Jets fans!

 

[koth]

The scouting team must feel pretty deflated having only 3 picks in this draft.

The three defencemen they draft will only be 20 feet tall.

Bumping this with just over 5 days to go.

Final Craig's List is up at tsn.ca.

Can anyone recommend a bar or restaurant to watch the draft (w volume) on Friday? I cut my cable for the first time after GoT ended and I'm not sure how to navigate a world without tv subscription.

BP City Place will have the draft on with the volume up. It is being hosted by the Jets and there will also be prospects there if i'm not mistaken. Not sure which ones though.

Keep in mind, you have to buy tickets for it.

Thanks!

I found this link but it doesn't say anything about ticket price in $, only in Jets rewards. I called BP and they say it's a private event.

Some pretty interesting players in the bottom 3rd of the second round if they don't make a move for a first.

 

[Whileee]

Okay, so let's pretend that the Jets get the #11 OA or the #20 OA.

Who do they target? I'll go first (based on who might be available according to McKenzie's list)...

#11 - Krebs, Newhook, Broberg...

#20 - Tomasino, Heinola, York...

I'm biased towards C for this draft, for obvious reasons.

 

[Board Bard]

I'm biased towards C

You're leaning toward the middle.

 

[Rheged]

York is a guy that feels like a Jets draft pick to me for no real good reason haha.

Helleson?
Norlinder?
Misyul?
Kniazev?

Agree. Love those USA guys. Feels like he'll be gone before 20, and is a reach at #11.

I haven't gone as in depth as I'd like to on this years draft yet but I like Fagemo or Honka late 2nd off the top of my head.

This guy definitely fits the Jets profile as well.. Big overage USHL D man well over point per game:

Very weird trajectory - basically no production at all and then BOOM!

No kidding! 30 goals by a D in 48 games. I'll add him to my want list.

 

[Flair Hay]

If Jets can get a 1st back for Trouba from this draft, just nail a 1st liner on fwd or D with the pick. That's all we really need to worry about.

Should be fun. I'll be watching just to see if we trade into the draft.

 

[EnglishJet]

I'm a Nathan Legare fan if he's still around at the end of the second round. He can shoot and pass, really exploded at the end of the 2017/18 season and never really slowed down.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

We got the 2oth back. Who are we looking at there?
