Kosmo AND Petan ahead of Lowry?

Fascinating.

I think they are going to take their time with Lowry. He may have the ability to make it, but he is still developing as a centre.

Kossy is a bull and he scores goals. He could kick the door down. Petan should ge given a few games before being sent down - doubt he makes the team though.

So was Connor Hellofagoalie going to St. John's or what was going on with that?

I don't have links, but I heard he headed out for a week or something then went back to school to finish his exams. He'll be in the pro mix next year somewhere, depends on what the Jets do. Right now Pavelec, Hutchinson and Olkinuora are under contract for next year, with Hutchinson and Pasquale as RFA's. We'll see what happens, but teams very rarely go with more than 5 goalies in the pro system. We'll see, IMO Hellebuyck should be in Ontario (or better yet somewhere where they are NOT sharing an ECHL affliate) in ECHL to get more games to start next year.

I think coach said he practiced some. May be gone already. He won't be getting any game action though.

Change of plans. He's headed to the World Hockey Championships with Team USA.

Gibson got starts a year ago, hoping Helle can too. Not sure who else is going.

Believe they start on the 5th or 6th or something.

If Lowry's best year is as good as Antro's worst year I'll be thrilled.

Really?

Thrilled ? or was that comment more a reflection on how a lot of fans perceived Antoro's game , especially here in Wpg?

Personally I would not be thrilled , I hope his best years will be better than Nik 's worse ones.

Nik put up .45 points per game or more in almost every year of his career. He was a pretty darn good top 6 player in the NHL for a decade - every year from 22-32 years old.

Very few have ever projected Lowry to be a top 6 forward, so yes - I would be thrilled if Lowry ever sniffed that.

I'm really looking forward to see how much Don Cherry is going to butcher Connor's last name when he makes it to the show, should be a doozy

But that isn't what you said , with respect , and imo he was not always a pretty darn good top 6 player , he was mediocre at least some of that time. Other times he was an ok top 6 , that didn't bring some aspects Lowry may be able to .

He also missed a lot of games which sometimes can't be helped but some players simply stay and play healthier than others, Lowry could/should be able to bring other parts to the game that Nik simply didn't. So imo I would not be happy if Nik's worse was Lowry's best.
