Prospect Info: Winnipeg Jets Prospects Thread 2018-19 - Part II

[DEANYOUNGBLOOD17]

I don't know much about it, but I think there was one NW scout that wasn't as good at doing his due diligence for the Jets.

^This is more hearsay than insider info

Obviously Night Watch. The Jets' staff never sleeps.

I came here for prospect talk and ended up reading 4 pages rehashing Stanley and drafting him.

Stanley is still a prospect.

Harkins has turned it around this year?

 

[surixon]

Harkins has turned it around this year?

He has been playing very well as of late for the Moose. Hopfully its a sign that he has figured things out.

 

[lanky]

No

How would you compare his path to the Poolman development path?

 

[ps241]

How would you compare his path to the Poolman development path?

Hard to say v Poolnan but I like Kovacevic more than most do on our board.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

How would you compare his path to the Poolman development path?

He is 2 years younger than Poolman was after 3 years NCAA making a direct comparison difficult, but I think that means Kovacevic has at least a little more potential.

And his team is well . . pretty awful.

He's third on his team in points with 14 in 24.

The leader has 19 in 27. Low scoring team.

How would you compare his path to the Poolman development path?

As MardyBum said, Merrimack is a very low scoring team. 14 in 24 is pretty decent considering how infrequently they put the puck in the net.

Kovacevik has been involved in 26.4% of Merrimack's total goals, including whatever they scored in the 3 games he was injured. They've scored a total of 53 goal in 27 games.

Poolman at roughly the same age scored 18 points in 40 games, though that was his first year in the NCAA and this is Kovacevik's 3rd.

In Poolman's best year he was involved in 23.6% of North Dakota's total goals.

 

[Dayofthedogs]

Stanley is still a prospect.

We can't undraft him or have a draft do over.

A decent season so far for him. Guess I'm just missing some of the talk about the guys not playing in the A or at least talk about them actually playing hockey not where they were drafted and what we moved to pick them.

Poolman also played at forward in College a bit.

Well that's interesting. Can't wait to see Sammy and Kovi holding the line with the Moose next year.

Is it figured in that he was drafted as a overages. That should make a difference.

 

[Whileee]

I've listed their NHLe estimates for their D+2 season based on age (i.e. draft eligibility), so it's apples to apples.

I think Samberg and Kovacevic are both very intriguing prospects. I've really liked what I've seen from Samberg in games I've seen. I haven't seen Kovacevic in game action, but he really impressed me during Development Camp. His size and mobility and smarts really stood out for me in that setting. Neither of them strike me as offensive dynamos, but both of them are big, mobile D with good vision and smart puck movement.
