Slick backhand by Chaz

 

[surixon]

Lucious with a nice goal. He's played pretty well today. His battle level is much better and he's moving his feet more. Showing off his hands more and holding the puck well.

Mgoarty has had some good shifts. I like the kids energy and he has some solid skill. He kind of reminds me of Sam Bennett or a Mike Fisher.

 

[Atoyot]

It’s a matter of where you put your scouting resources, and if you’re ignoring the top hockey power in the world you are doomed to mediocrity.

Meanwhile, nice goal by Latvia!

If you're choosing Canadians just because they're Canadians then you're doomed for worse. You take the best player.

I’m saying you need scouts in the best hockey country in the world and I don’t think the Jets do. It’s highly suspicious that the best available player when the Jets draft is very rarely Canadian. And other than Perfetti, when was the last time we had a prospect who looked high end at the NHL level?

There’s something amazing about hearing Dennis Beyak say, “Hodass” every 2 minutes with Chipotle ads flying around everywhere.

I very much doubt they randomly decided to just not scout canada... when you pick lower in the draft the odds of getting a high end player are much lower, our first picks in the drafts before perfetti were 20th 60th and 24th

I think I read that the bulk of their scouts don’t scout the Canadian junior leagues. But whether that’s right or wrong their prospects have been mostly “meh” the past several years.

 

[Jets 31]

I think the Jets have done very well with their drafting. I don't care if they draft from Scotland as long as they draft good players.

we've had the fewest picks in the nhl the past few years and it's far to early to judge them right now anyways

The Jets heavily scout the Dub, O and USHL. They likely could use a bigger presence in the Q though as we barely pick from there.

The league in which the Jets draft the most players is the WHL with 16 players picked. That is almost as many picks as the toa picks the Jets have used in Europe.

The Jets draft quite well in the USHL so they use a lot of picks there (14). They also are successful in the OHL and have used 10 picks.

What time period? Since 2011? I was referring mainly with the past five years or so.

 

[surixon]

Last 5 years:

6 from Sweden
5 from OHL
5 from USHL
3 from Finland
2 from Russia
2 from BCHl
1 from WHL
1 from Eastern Europe

Still a pretty heavy NA presence.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Canada is getting dummied. Maybe full of themselves?

 

[None]

There's some irony that Canada's getting shit on by Czechia while this conversation about the Jets not drafting enough Canadians is going on.

Clearly we need more Czechs.

 

[cam7aylor]

is beyak calling some games? thought he was retiring to international tournaments only ?

 

[None]

Bedard's shot is kind of ridiculous. He gets so much on his wrist shot that even with the tip the trajectory didn't change.

He called the Finland vs Switzerland and USA vs Latvia games earlier.

Talking Canadian presence, not North American presence.

… and the rounds are meaningful as well. But thanks must go to you for your detailed responses. Thanks.

 

[CorgisPer60]

That's not even a check to the head. He pushed up through his chest with his hands.

Seems like pretty balanced drafting. Take BPA no matter where they are from.

 

[None]

Kind of looks like the left shoulder might have rode up on contact which is absolutely 5 under IIHF rules. Initially kind of just looked like a glove came up.

It's usually called closer to North American standards when the tournament is in North America though. But even at minor levels in Canada just the gloves coming up is an automatic 4 minutes now.

 

[KingBogo]

Goaltending seems to be a weak link for Canada.

 

[surixon]

Our goalie is awful.
