Bryan Little out for the season. Jets are going to be looking at a nice pick.

They already have a fantastic young core, **** them.

Today's tank-watch:

Thursday's tank games:

- MIN @ PHI (need MIN win)

- NJD @ CBJ (need CBJ win)

- CAR @ TOR (need TOR win)

- ARI @ FLA (need ARI win)

- WPG @ DAL (need WPG win)

- NYI @ CAL (need CAL win)

- OTT @ VAN (need OTT win, in regulation)

- EDM @ LAK (need EDM win)

I think we might get 2 of those favorable results.

Then why do they suck even with a full veteran team.

Winnipegs actual young core isnt THAT good.

Ehlers Scheifele Trouba.

Thats about it and maybe Connor.

Morrissey Petan Roslovic might as well be on the Shinkaruk lvl of prospect.

Thats not THAT good to the point where they are good to go.

Today's tank-watch:

- MIN @ PHI (need MIN win) Yes

- NJD @ CBJ (need CBJ win) Yes

- CAR @ TOR (need TOR win) No

- ARI @ FLA (need ARI win) No

- WPG @ DAL (need WPG win) Yes

- NYI @ CAL (need CAL win) Yes

- OTT @ VAN (need OTT win, in regulation) Yes!!!

- EDM @ LAK (need EDM win) Yes

Those are my predictions. 6 out of 8 wouldn't be bad. I think it will be a good night. Edmonton will surprise LA, WPG will surprise Dallas.

But Toronto and Arizona will continue their garbage trend downwards.

Agree. No superstars at all

Not if we can help it.

Agree. No superstars at all

And 0 playoff wins in their existence.

Kyle Connor is looking like he'll be a legit 1C. As excited as we are about Boeser, Connor has been much much better.

if he was that great why didn't he make team USA and brock the rock did?

US hockey politics apparently. Go read on the Connor thread in the main boards for details. Related to why he didn't play for the NTDPT in his USHL stint either.

He is playing LW as far as I know

if he was that great why didn't he make team USA and brock the rock did?

He's putting up insane numbers, better than Larkin and comparable to Eichel (Yes I know he's older than Jack). There was definitely an external factor.

If Benning were to strip-mine this roster in the next three days there's still a chance at cratering....really up to him....without driving a bunch of veterans to the airport, we'll be just good enough to finish 9-10....it's got to be top five or bust.

Trouba looks like Tyler Myers 2.0.
Good rookie season, meh since then.

If the Oil beat the Kings at home they should test the water at the Staples Centre...can't see the Jets not being buried alive in Big-D...rest look plausible.

Great time of year to make some parlay bets. The bad teams are just so bad at this time of year and the good teams are firing on all cylinders.

For me, right now, it's all about the trade deadline. If Minnesota wins, it's a good night. If the Wild and Arizona both win, it's a great night. Ownership/management must be convinced there is no hope of playoffs.

If they move Hamhuis and Edler remains on IR, anything is possible.

Consider that after Tanev-Hutton, our next best D is probably Sbisa.

Sbisa.


Let that sink in for a minute.

Love the Jets young core/prospect core. They'd be in amazing position if they win the lottery for a top 2 pick.

 

[Nucker101]

But Toronto and Arizona will continue their garbage trend downwards.

EDM I could see surprising LA since LA struggles against speedy teams at times. I'd be semi-shocked if WPG beats Dallas

 

[Addison Rae]

Then why do they suck even with a full veteran team.

Because Hutchinson and Pavelec are below average goalies. They don't suck, that's a poor, lazy analysis. They're 8th in CF% league wide, even then what does now results have to do with a young core? Do you not think Buffalo and Edmonto have good young cores?

They have Ehlers, Trouba, Schefellie, Morrisey, Connor, Helleybuk, Comrie and Lowry is a very good core to build around. But hey I guess they can't compare with the "future dynasty" Canucks.
