Stuart?
Stu should be in the A but he shouldn't have one on his jersey.

It'd be a steal in 3 or 4 years if Scheif keeps progressing.

Looks like a nice top 6 for next year.

Only exception would be Lowry size @ 2nd line ctr if he develops to that.
Remember his 1st preseason game with us, in our initial season, when he scored a couple of goals, I jokingly texted a friend "Best Jet Ever!" Might end up being correct when its all said and done.
Also remember all the flak this kid got on this forum for the following three seasons after being drafted. Some real strong assessments by some, declaring him a bust at the seasoned age of 20. Credit to some on here that saw the talent and stuck by him. Shows who can assess talent, and those that can only interpret it through goals and assists.
Sometimes that sexy pick, the one that hits the floor running, does not always end up being the best pick. You cannot put a price tag on character, accountability and work ethic.
I am also a big Raptors fan, have been for years. When they drafted Demar Derozan, I was blown away with the hate projected towards a young kid that had some flaws to his game, but possessed an amazing work ethic, and an inner drive to always get better. Several seasons later, he has made fools outa his haters by a continuous effort to always get better by adding something new to his game each and every offseason.
Scheif reminds me very much of Derozan, and I honestly have no idea how good he will eventually become, because of his dedication towards improving.
If Perreault re-signed for 4 or 5 more years, does anyone think he would be a good A?

I don't remember Scheif getting that much flak. There was maybe the odd doubter.
Me neither. I'm notoriously cynical of the Jets management but have been a huge fan of Scheifele since his 4 point exhibition against Columbus. (Aside from playoffs, that game is still my favorite game in 2.0 history and probably always will be.)
There are still a few "Couturier>Scheifele" idiots on twitter, but I don't think any of them are here.
There might have been the odd person who said Scheifele was a bust (which based on his junior numbers would have been just as funny then as it is now), I think the big controversy was whether he was a better pick than Couturier or Hamilton. The jury is still out on that. Scheifele outscores Couturier but he is used completely differently and his shot suppression is vastly better than Scheifele's.

I see him more in that Toews range, good for 60ish points and occasionally knocking on the door of 70. I absolutely love Scheifele though.
E for effort? No. N for nice try? No. T for try a little harder. Yup that's the one.Yeah, I think he would. Maurice talks about "compete" a lot, and nobody brings that more than Perreault. That kind of play is infectious. I'd like to show the younger guys that it is also recognized and rewarded.
I think he gets left out of the picture a lot, because he wasn't part of the original core, nor is he a drafted member of the younger core.
I dunno about Buff either. But maybe - the "A" comes with a lot less media focus than the "C".
But Little is a great choice in terms of dedication, talent, and work ethic.
Heh, they should create a new letter to give Trouba. Maybe an "S" (for "Sorry").

That would look weird....STU_RT
For the record I wasn't saying I like Couturier more (I much prefer Scheifele at this point) just saying you could probably cobble together an argument that Couturier is close to Scheifele in value considering usage and his defensive game.
