Jets Top Prospects Poll: #7 Prospect

[Mortimer Snerd]

Spacek. Has been my favorite darkhorse prospect since Kosmachuk.

I hope that's not a bad sign though

He is still a dark horse - light is beginning to shine through though.

1st AHL seasons
Kosmo - 70 gms, 28 pts
Spacek - 70 gms, 38 pts
You might make the case that Spacek had more to work with but then he also would have had more competition for TOI. Kosmo just never progressed much from that first season. Spacek will need to improve.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Well he has not been impressive in the AHL either. His career minor league stats are mediocre-average, in the three seasons he has been with the Moose. Hutch really outplayed him last season.

He showed progress last year though. Nothing to get all excited about, but encouraging. I'm pretty much ignoring his 3 NHL games. He was nervous - and it was 3 games, not 30.

 

[Jimby]

Yes, he will need to improve. 21 of his 38 points were on the power play which leaves a meagre 17 even strength points in 70 games.

I think he also improved as the season progressed though. That's a positive sign.

Maybe give him Wheeler's spot on the PP. Make Wheeler cheaper to re-sign.

Lol, that draft war room.
I haven't followed Morin, how has he played in the AHL?

He is coming along slowly. Was set back by a major injury last season. I think right now he projects to be a bottom pair guy with lots of salt in his game from what I have heard at least.

 

[nhlpro]

What about Jansen Harkins, He was our 2nd round pick in2015?

He has not adjusted well. I really felt we ranked him far to high last year and said he should've been ranked closer to 15 at the time, many liked him but his first pro year stunk.

 

[Holden Caulfield]

Add Kraskovsky. Took a big step back this year but still has upside, IMO.

I think he's the first add of thread so if it stands that way it'll be him.

 

[nobody imp0rtant]

Stanley is head and shoulders above Spacek.

I think you may be overstating it a bit. He was sent down to the ECHL to get some ice time. Which he wasn't getting because he wasn't playing well enough to take minutes away from anyone else. He played well there and somewhat better after he returned to the Moose. I can't say how much better.

I would call his first pro season disappointing. Progress was slow. But I think "stunk" is a bit harsh. He needs to be better this year.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Add Wong.

Harkins had better even strength production than Spacek last season. And Spacek even got some minutes in the top 6, while Harkins spend the season in bottom 6. That's not everything but if Spacek is getting voted in here, Harkins should at least be an option

 

[wasup]

The next Jamie BIG RIG Oleksiak.



I am expecting Morin to make his debut this season FOR the Flyers as their #6......heck of a fighter. Who needs Josh Morrissey when you can have a 6’6” fighter.

Morin tore his ACL in late March is out till next Feb at earliest .

 

[garret9]

Winnipeg's Sam Morin

What if I said *some* scouts on the Jets were really high on Morin, and those same scouts had him above Morrissey.

What if I said Matthews has asked for a trade to the Jets?

Are you saying that some Jets scouts liked Morin over Morrissey? Are they the same ones who pushed for Stanley?

 

[Joe Hallenback]

He was really thought well of as a 15/16 year old by a lot of people. He did play on a stacked Rimouski team as well with future Jet prospect Kostalek where both pretty close in point totals and games played that year. Too bad about his injury Morin had 7 points in 15 games to finish the year then injured his ACL in the playoffs. From what I gather he probably would be playing full time for the Flyers next year.

You saying to add Harkins?
People seem to forget to say who to add so if you want him then he's tied with Kraskovsky and Wong to be added to next poll.

Can I vote twice?
Harkins is a better prospect than either Kraskovsky or Wong. Add Harkins.

That would put him ahead lol

Long term there is more potential for Kraskovsky, IMO. He has a nicer set of hands, bigger, slightly better skater. Harkins is more of a north south player and grittier. Jets also hold Kraskovsky's rights indefinitely. Kraskovsky though might not even come over for another 3-4 years or more and Harkins is likely out of the organization by then.

Jets Top 20 Prospects:

1. Kristian Vesalainen - 66.9%
2. Sami Niku - 90.7%
3. Mason Appleton - 42.9%
4. Dylan Samberg - 78%
5. David Gustafsson - 39.7%
6. Brendan Lemieux - 48.7%

I just realized, not many Canadian born players will be in our top 10. We are really building a strong contender with players from the US and Europe. (7 or 8 CAN born players on our current roster)

Yeah for sure

No shock. Flyers had him above Monahan too. His size erases GMs brains.

He was really well thought of because because he was really big.
