Lucius draws back to back penalties then gets on the PP unit that draws first blood.

He was the 13th forward in their exhibition game but he was on the PP2 unit tonight so far. I haven’t seen much of the period yet so I don’t know what line Chaz is on?

He was slotting in on the 1st line during camp but was on the 3rd/4th during the pre-tournament game. The lines haven't been static at all though.
He's also playing with the two youngest players on the team. I thought he was juat as good if not better then McTavish myself, he just doesn't play as flashy as of game.
Well Power is a 6"6 number 1 overall dmen that has had multiple comparisons to Headmon. No shame in in taking a back seat to him.
What a dumb first penalty by the Slovaks as it was well away from the play. It got the Americans going after the Slovaks had the better of the first 10 minutes.

I think I'm more concerned about the big picture of Jets scouts seemingly not valuing skating ability very highly. I think you could knock all 3 of the Jets highest picks in '19, '20, and '21 for their skating.

Yeah, I have no doubt that players like Heinola and Perfetti will succeed at the highest level but I still have concerns that their skating is going to hold them back.
So the question is what are they drafting for? What are they valuing? Character? Guys who will play for wpg? IQ?

A three point night isn’t good or…? Lol, Perfetti was one of the best players on the ice tonight.
I think they just value things like IQ more. Where they were picking in each of those drafts I would rather they go for smarts and skill then for speed and low skill/IQ which is what was available at each pick. Who drafted immediately after each was a highly skilled burner? The only one I can think of behind Cole was Jarvis. No one really comes to mind behind Lucious and Tomasiano behind Ville. There has to be an elite skating highly skilled guy on the board. The Jets are more then happy to draft those guys when they are available like with Conner and Ehlers.
But having said that I was lukewarm on the Lucious pick at best and would have rather gone in a different direction there myself.

Yeah I thought he was a top 3 player on his team tonight, exactly what should be expected of him. Not sure why people are worried here about a number 1 overall pick having a better game and a top 3 pick having a similar caliber game as him.

I think you are trying to make this an issue...
Its only game 1 though and he's tied for the tournament lead in scoring I believe. Why don't we wait until its done before passing judgement. People place way too much stock in the small sample nature of this tournament, his dominance over a larger period of games in the AHL is more indicative of where he's at imo.
Perfetti's passing and hands on full display tonight, as one would expect.
Will be honest though, was hoping to see more progress in terms of his speed and explosiveness however, he still seems to struggle hanging onto the puck and creating any gap through the neutral zone and I'm not sure I would have really noticed him out there at 5v5 if he wasn't a Jets prospect (assist aside).

No idea as there aren't that many players that I liked drafted behind him that are doing much of anything in the NHL. That is sometimes what you get drafting at the end of the first round.
Also if you are expecting him to blitz guys wide that has never been his game. His game is based on deception and making the puck do the work. He transitions predominantly through passing and then opening up for the return feed.
