2025 NHL DRAFT

[voyageur]

Chevy drafts 2011-16 set our franchise up for where we are now.

6 drafts

2011- Schiefele 7 th / Lowry 67
2012 - Trouba 8 th
2013 - Morrissey 13 th
2014 - Ehlers 8 th
2015 - Connor 15 th
2016 - Laine 2 nd (trade returns)

Through in a steal of Hellybuck in the 5 th round in The middle of the 6 year run and that’s our core…

( Trading out RD Trouba for RD Pionk along the way)

since 2016 our only real draft hits paying dividends in these playoffs is Samberg and Perfetti….

Andrew Copp as a 2013 4th rd pick turned out to carry some value, in his play, and the biggest reason for 2 of the Jets best prospects. Jets got some mileage out of Appleton in 2015 draft. That was largely considered the Jets best draft. Still players in the NHL elsewhere from that draft, some of whom had some impact in the 2018-2020 results of the Jets.

2017 got Samberg at least. 2018, starting at 60 was worth the playoff run. 2019 was a bad draft in retrospect.

You get to 2020 and that's Perfetti, who is just breaking through now, after fighting some injuries and being iced down the stretch last year. The other 3 picks were busts.

So 2021 on they still are developing with little room on a veteran team. Down one 1st round pick to retirement.

Probably in the next 2 years you'll start to see some turnover in the forwards, towards younger players. But that will symbolize a team that is no longer competing to be the best, probably competing just to make the playoffs, with room for error.

2022 is the only draft after 2020 where the Jets had more than 5 picks, and that's set now for the next 3 drafts without some trades.

There can always be some hindsight on the picks used to shore up the defense, vs the picks lost to waivers because the defense was shored up. And Stanley is part of that narrative.

But here we are.

Cole Reschny, Victoria Royals, the next Seth Jarvis.

I'm talking about their draft year, since the Jets don't have a way of seeing into the future

They were both chosen in the 2023 draft... Barlow at 16th and Ritchie at 27th

In 2022-23:
Barlow 59GP 46G 33A 79P
Ritchie: 59GP 24G 35A 59P

Ritchie also had a nagging shoulder injury in his draft year.

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

Ritchie had more points in the regular season. I will say it's definitely worth noting that Ritchie was scoring well above a 2.5 PPG pace for the first half of the season, but somehow finished with a PPG of 1.7. His playoffs were good, but clearly he produced less than most of his teammates. Definitely something's going on.

So playing at 2.5 points per game is sustainable?

I will take a 1.7 PPG everyday and twice on sundays.

Anyone projected to go late with the Rinzel prototype? We have time to slow cook someone with a high ceiling

 

[WolfgangPuck]

Want a big forward preferably center who can be physical and be a net front presence

ottawa is probably giving up this years pick so pick #27

The jets will be picking 28th

As you miscounted by 1 pick as Ottawa has chosen not to give this year’s 1 st round pick.

Ottawa had to decide to give this pick up within 24 hours after the draft lottery.

They did not declare that they would forfeit this years pick.

The four conference finalist will get the the last 4 spots. Then the division winners starting with the highest points. The Jets are are President trophy winners so they are the 5 th team from the bottom in the 1 st round

28 Jets
29 qtr finalist
30 qtr finalist
31 Stanley cup finalist
32 Stanley cup winner

I would like to find a big / well skating Defenceman in the Rinzel / Sam-Berg style of Defence-man player @ 28.

I know its probably not someone on a lot of peoples radar and we would likely be better off going with a skater but talking about someone we could slow cook with a high ceiling. Josh Ravensbergen is a big lanky 6'5 goalie playing for Prince George this year that really caught my eye this season. Despite his big frame he is really athletic and moves really well in the crease. Makes those athletic second saves but coming from a bigger kid is impressive. Has some issues with rebound control but that can be worked on. The more interesting thing is he is a right catching goalie in a league dominated by left catching goalies so that could be something that could throw shooters off a bit.

He's expected to be the first goalie off the board this year so no idea where he ends up slotting but if he's available at 28 I wouldn't mind if we take a swing. We can afford to let him bake. 2 more years in junior then a couple years in minors and he could be coming up and learning from Helle by the end of Helles contract. Sky seems to be the limit with this kid as he has Helles size and positioning but with Prices athleticism. Seems like the kind of combination that with the right guidance could be a force and possibly a team Canada goalie of the future. Plus he has a cool name.

 

[surixon]

I'm going to have to look into this now. Really have no idea what to expect to be available at the end of round 1.
