Would you rather have this Leafs or Jets group of four young forwards?
- Thread starter Matt24
- Start date
Hyman and Brown are depth players and Kapanen and Johnsson haven't proven anything the Jets have 4 of the 6 most valuable pieces here.

Obviously I voted for the Leafs players. Also don't be surprised next season when you see a lot more from Kapanen and Johnsson.
Blue Shakehead
because lol Jets
Jets AINEC.
Mind you, Connor Brown is involved in this poll so you never know. Leafs fans didn't want to trade him for Trouba a few months ago:

Laughable.

It's extremely close, all are likely top 9, heart and soul players one way or another. One of those guys, in either group, becoming a more significant piece moving forward will leapfrog one of them into the top (if it does happen).
If we're judging pure ceiling and who can become a ~top 6 player or higher, Kapanen/Johnsson have the best shot for the Leafs...Roslovic for the Jets. Lowry is a wildcard, he could become a very valuable player down the line but I don't think his upside is that high.....his worth can be higher than everyone on that list if they don't make strides.

Lowry is already one of the jets more important pieces
big body in front of net and shuts down top lines
we're not looking for a lot of points from him
3 out of 4 of those jets are actually centres too

Voted Leafs because I'm more familiar with them.
I think it's close. Anyone who says otherwise I think is wrong.

Cough, Cough... Every non-Leafs fan...
Rikes... Johnston’s a little high and Lowry is quite low, don’t you think?
This is the issue with many Leaf polls, the compared Player(s) has to completely blow the Leaf player out of the water or else it’s always in the Leafs favour somehow(and if it is comparing a guy who is much better than the Leaf player then there are complaints of fairness... Its always gonna be determined by “it’s close but Leafs”...
1. Roslovic
2. Hyman
3. Lowry
4. Kapanen
5. Armia
6. Brown
7. Copp
8. Johnsson

On your list, Hyman and Lowry way too high, Kapanen and Johnsson way too low. Johnsson has been a very good prospect for a while. And Hyman wouldn't be very good offensively without his linemates.

Johnsson has played 5 games, can guarantee most non-Leafs fans have no idea who he even is, or the type of game he plays. So it makes no sense that he was included.
Other than that Hyman is the most valuable player as one of the top penalty killers in the league (he also happens to have the most points of anyone listed). Have to go with the Leafs, that’s just a lot of speed and two-way play.

I don't want to hear from other Canadian fans that the leafs are shoved down their throat. They obviously don't know much about our players after all

Winnipeg is Good
Lowry is a very valuable player..
He is not a scorer but he is good for 15 goals ina full season.
But what he brings to the table is what completes a hockey team with all those high power offensive forwards.
6'6" in your face very solid defensive shutdown Center. Who will grind and pound the line he plays against with.
He plays against top lines and one of the key players in the much imporved Jets pk.
Roslovic ceiling is 2C.
Copp is mr. Versitility
He can slide in any lines. Pinch hit in the top line if someone goes down. But his value is riding lw to Lowrys line.
Can't wait till next season when johnson and Kapanen are 40 point players and make this poll look stupid

Surprised by the results. Makes me wonder how many posters actually watch the Leafs and Jets. The Jets are my 2nd team and I can say with 100% certainty that the Leafs group are better players.
Kapanen has 9 points in 32 games, Johnson has one in his 5 games. Do you really think they'll be 40 point players?
I think Roslovic has the best chance of being an impact player.
