Winnipeg Jets Prospect Thread (Part XVIII)

[Atoyot]

Glover got the empty netter as well.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

"Secondary" Kyle Connor with a point early in the game, bringing his point streak up to 20 games.

Penalty for Connor as well. Gooning it up. Should fit nicely on our 4th.

 

[lablite47]

Hard not to like the guy and I generally agree with you......but,I'm not sure he has NHL hands.

That short handed breakaway deak a couple games ago where he nonchalauntly slips the puck between the goalies outstretched legs tells me otherwise.

Jets graduated Ehlers, Hellebuyck and Copp from THN's prospect list this year - still ranked #5 prospect pool and Lemieux is at #7 from the Jets' list. That's a deep pool.

We'll probably get 3 very good ones, including one who'll be our best prospect immediately, in the draft as well. It's good that we have them to look forward to!

Unless they land Matthews or Laine, I probably won't have a new guy above Connor.

Agree, truck.

Though Pulijujarvi would likely be ranked higher than Connor. And if Connor turns out to be the better player, that's pretty exciting for us Jets fans.

I was curious where those optimists were, so I went to the Andrew Copp thread, and I can't find any Jets fans at all saying that. Was this on the main boards? Could you help me find this? All I could find on the Copp thread was hope that he would be an upgrade on Slater as an upside.

Thanks for your help.

It was a couple individuals (one in particular) not sure which thread. Maybe one of the old prospect threads.

It was one poster.

Nothing wrong with optimism and I do hope he turns out well, but I doubt he has 2nd line upside.

And truthfully, I don't recall him saying he could be a 2C.

Not possible.

Entirely possible. Edmonton has been on a lucky streak. Lucky streaks end.

Sorry I was confusing...

I meant that since Connor was drafted even later than the terrifying 'no-man's-land' there's no way he has the same amount of talent as someone who is drafted in a 'game-breaking', 'elite', 'franchise' draft position.

 

[Flair Hay]

And truthfully, I don't recall him saying he could be a 2C.

Button was the one that said it

 

[Holden Caulfield]

And truthfully, I don't recall him saying he could be a 2C.

He sure did. Even implied it might be more. Went a little crazy with the Copp hype.

Sorry, I mistook it for more negativity about the lottery. We are in 3rd now but are playing a very bad team today.

 

[Daximus]

Who thought Copp could be a 2C? I don't recall anyone saying that.
He has been a decent replacement for Slater and still has some upside given his age. His ceiling is a 3C I think.

Button said it was possible once.

A poster who was banned from here (but still creeps and tweets about his creeping) defended Button, and eventually agreed.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Windsor game is on Sportsnet.....right now

 

[Winnipeg Jets]

Lemieux is going to be such a pest if he makes the NHL...

 

[csk]

Secondary assist for Lem

 

[Nickel eye Heel hers]

How lucky do you have to be to have a family name like McCool.
Nice goal Lemieux

 

[csk]

and now a Goal

No doubt. Better than Outhouse.
