GDT: All things training camp

Well shit that's not good re: Heinola! For the player or the team...

Apples gets shit on a lot here but he outscored Nino and Lowry last season.
He usually plays against the other team's top left winger and is pretty good at killing penalties as well.
Also, he only makes 2.2m a year.

yup it's ridiculous.
does appleton whiff on a few opportunities - sure. so does lowry and nino, and yet they still are inferior producers to him all while making ~1-2M more.

It really is a bit of hard luck compounding isn’t it. I am just catching up and saw the news about Ville. I feel terrible for the kid.

Yeah one of these things fine on its own but all of the stacked on top of each other is tough.

Give you the injuries. Got equal value back for Mcgroarty and Barlow is still a teenager. Don't get the hard luck regarding them.

We can say we got "equal value" but everyone knows that had McG had wanted to sign there is no way Chevy would have made that trade. That is in the past now so I don't wanna belabor it but it definitely wasn't ideal or the Jets 1st choice.

Things opening up for Stanley.

I don't know man, continuous injury issues with Ville, Lucius, McGroarty turning out to be a lemon and having to move him, Barlow not lighting the world on fire. Jets seem to be having some hard luck with their 1st rounders, if it wasn't for Lambert it wouldn't look great.

For years the Jets went without much of anything coming from their 2nd round picks. Now hopefully we can produce 3 solid players in Salomonsson, Chibrikov and Frei so maybe it all evens out.

Yeah the injuries are frustrating, but all we can do is hope for things to change for the better going forward.

I wouldn’t write Barlow off just yet and McG is at the very least a wash because we got Yager.

Two first round picks being derailed by injuries is tough.

I will wait to see on McG. It was a hostile take over but I like the idea of swapping out a scoring forward who doesn’t want to be here, for a centre prospect even if I have McG a touch ahead on the development curve currently. Turns out Rutgers wasn’t the guy the Jets thought he was when they drafted him so being able to exit the mess is probably a fortunate thing.
