Prospect Info: Winnipeg Jets Prospects Thread 2018-19

[Mortimer Snerd]

I've always seen him as a guy that can play with a bit of an edge. Being a tough Dman to play against that can play physical at the right times is an asset.

Yes, I didn't say anything else. Chiarot is not lacking in that aspect of the game.

 

[KingBogo]

Yup. Encouraging. But that's all.

It has always been about mobility and defensive decision making. I think they overlap. Poor mobility leads to poor decisions because you have less 'time and space'. If he develops the mobility we will see how he applies it to the rest of his game.

Meanwhile, 5 pts in 24 games in the AHL doesn't suggest any amount of offence in the NHL.

I wouldn't put any real weight on the offence at this point. Stanley knows he needs to play within himself while he grows his game. If he starts adding offense as he improves in his areas of need that will be very encouraging as I think he has real good instincts in the offensive zone.

Agree.
But there is no evidence so far to suggest any more offence than what we get from Chiarot right now. And I won't mind a bit if that is all the offence we get from him if he can be good in the D zone. If he can develop to push Chiarot down and be a 5/6 D man instead of Chiarot's 6/7 it is an improvement to the team. I'll be quite happy with that.

That is fair. As long as we see steady improvement a 5/6 defenseman isn't an unreasonable projection.

Yea to qualify my “enthusiasm” let me set my reference point. I have upgraded myself to the point of being pulled off suicide watch.

I have thought for a while that Stanley will get to 100 NHL in the Jets organization no matter what. This is bolstered by the fact Lemieux is in the NHL currently. Since Logan is going to be getting reps I have chosen to view his progression under the lense of can he survive on the bottom pair. I am starting to see signs that this may not be as bad as I originally thought it would be.

Hope that helps.

Yeah, I am off suicide watch too. But they still won't let me have a belt or shoelaces - just in case.

Sweden had a world Junior exhibition game against Russia yesterday, Gustafsson had a shorthanded assist in a 4-2 win.

 

[Gil Fisher]

Looks like a 3v3 assist as opposed to shorthanded?

Gustafsson's assist was pretty. He's the one with all the dangles on the last goal and then another player taps in the rebound.

Gustafsson is #27, and the clip of his shorthanded assist starts at coincidentally 0:27. Lucas Elvenes is the one who dangles in 3v3 at the end.

Thanks for the correction! I was just matching order of goals to the boxscore so either they switched the order in the highlights or I misremembered the boxscore order. My bad in any case!

Samberg not in US roster tonight. Did i miss the news of him not making the team or what's the case here?

He's on the team, just not in this warm-up game.

No returning players dressed for the USA. Expect tomorrow's game to be closer to their final roster.

USA is still making cuts so a lot of guarantees aren't on the team. Typically Canada still has cuts to be made but the team is already picked.

Team USA was announced this morning. Samberg appears to be 3LD.

Is he only returning dman?

 

[Whileee]

He'll play more than 3LD. He's a core top 4 D.

Might delend on whether Mikey Anderson plays with Hughes or switches over to his offside, but Team USA tweeted Samberg out as 3LD.

They tweeted out the line up in alphabetical order.

That's not what I saw. They definitely tweeted out lines at @usahockey

Weird coincidence that all their lines and defense are alphabetical, eh?

Jack Hughes at 3LW is a surprise...

Well that's a bit of a coincidence. ☺

Seriously, what kind of idiots are usahockey?

The kind that left Connor off the team all together. I guess they had their quota of players whose last name began with a C.

 

[Atoyot]

Virtanen doesn't look out of place in the CAN-FIN game, which is good considering the level of talent in the game. Made a sweet feed to Ylonen but he missed the net.

Apparently Tolvanen isn't on their PP1 unit?
