Token goalie!
Yeah I'm definitely OK with this strategy, much preferred to going after the higher ranked guys earlier!Grab one a year, every year. You'll always have a pipeline of talent that _may_ turn into something. He's at least 3 years from turning pro. Perfectly fine timeline for what the Jets have right now.
I have a hard time getting excited about goalie prospects. Even the best ones are long shots that'll require at least 3 years of development before they are projectable. I like the pick. I like that we have both him and Berdin in the system.Other than maybe Gustafsson, this is the pick I’m probably most pleased with.

Eh. 31 goalies were picked ahead of Hellebuyck. Including an entire draft. It's generally good to keep expectations low for goalies, since they are a complete crapshoot in the draft.21 goalies were picked before this guy. I'll keep my expectations low.
Grubauer was meant to be the future back up to Holtby. In comes Samsonov, and out goes Grubauer. Such is the life of a NHLer: if there is somebody who can do your job for cheaper, you're as good as gone.How else is he going to stay in shape and get ready for the upcomming season?
Of Course he is going to work out!!!
If it leads anywhere useful..... as a Jets prospect is the real question.
Berdin is the future backup to Helly...
I have little faith in Commrie at the N.H.L. level
