Ah, well before my time then.
Throw them between a good playmaking centre and watch the magic.
Anyone seen much of Pierre luc dubois? Ripping up the q, good size. Heard he plays on a strong team but his cohort set is significantly better then at least 10 of the guys ranked ahead of him
I would also love to hear more on Dubois, because if the Jets somehow put some wins together and/or get very unlucky in the lottery and draft in the mushy middle of the non playoff teams (8-11 ish) he might be right in the mix.
Another guy I'd love to hear more on from OHL guys (Guerzy? ) is Sergachev. I realize Julovei had the good World Juniors, but what from I have been reading this guy could be just as good if not better.
We're almost getting to a point where a top 5 looks very likely.
One of Matthews, Pulijujarvi, Laine, Tkachuk or Chyckrun. Nice.
Laine or Tkachuk would replace Ladd in far less years than his ask for contract term, I'm guessing. Connor would pick up some slack there as well on left side.
Matthews would give a #1 franchise Center with size and skill.
Pulijujarvi is more like Wheels. Likely Stafford's replacement and upgrade in a few year.
Chyckrun adds LH d depth and possible top pairing. Would replace a departed Buff in terms of minutes and use, in a couple of years, though likely not nearly as offensive.
Connor and Laine on a line together would be a dream.

Sergachyov is similar to Provorov IMO (not just because he's Russian). Juolevi is basically like a Sami Vatanen type player.
Almost before my time Jetabre which is freakin scary!!!
C'mon now, you're old enough to remember Orr and the other Bruins beating up on the Rangers at the time. Same with the Habs pounding on them. Definitely remember Walt. I was such a hockey nut back in the day (I was in grade 1 in 1970) and I remember begging my mom every Saturday night to leave the TV volume turned up so I could hear the three stars at the end of the Hockey Night in Canada broadcast. My bedtime was earlier than most games finishing times but that was my Saturday night. Eat dinner, watch the Buggs Bunny/Roadrunner show, then HNIC.

Grade one in 1968, had the same Saturday night!
Get off my lawn!

i like hearing pisitive s on pld given his current stat lines.
Nice part of the players you mentioned is there enough of them spread out that they'll be available in the 8-14 range if the tank fails us
I am...
After the 1st period.... players that would look good in a Jet uniform ?
- McLeod... wheels, vision, aggressive...
- Churchyn... man-child, easy stride, physical, maybe not a top end O' talent...
- Tkachuk... hockey sense, goes to dirty areas, uses his teammates always...
- Dubois... strong, aggressive, goes to net, can move and handle puck...
- Sergachev... Provorov like, uncanny resemblance in the way he plays, skates,
and controls the puck
Would be very happy with any of these players...
Pascal Laberge could be a good 2nd round pick.
