Prospect Info: Jets Prospects

[Bob E]

Salomonsson and Skelleftea playing Farjestad on TSN 2 this afternoon.

Early in 2nd period.

 

[Bob E]

Really like Salomonsson’s game. Just needs to unlock that offensive game a bit more. Reminds me of a better skating Trouba, tbh.

Is he as mean as the former #8?

 

[Bob E]

Is he as mean as the former #8?

Probably not, but he engages physically every shift, every opportunity. And has some size to him. He’s only 19, and plays that way in a men’s league.

If he can put up modest points, he’ll be a nice top 4 addition one day.

The Trouba comparison is an interesting one, and not bad. His skating is better than Trouba's. Salomonsson is an outstanding skater, with speed and mobility. He's not nearly as aggressive in jumping into the rush as Trouba was as a Jet. But he plays an aggressive defensive game and uses his skating and size to keep tight gaps. I think he has offensive upside, and is starting to look more for his offense at the SHL level.

I see him as a potential top-4 RD that can play a strong defensive game and jump into the rush the way that Bowness pushes.

Jacob Julien with 23 points (8g 15a) in his last 12 OHL games.

And he's not even on Easton Cowan's line.

I don't see Bowness coaching when/if Salo makes the NHL.

DD cut from Team Canada. Womp... womp...

It looked like the Jets would have a boffo group of prospects at the WJHC, with DD, Barlow, McGroarty, Salomonsson and Wagner. Now it looks like it might be just the two Swedes, with injuries to Barlow and McGroarty and DD's slump.

I sure hope it’s a mere slump.

Goalies are voodoo. I don't even try to assess and rank them until they have sustained success at high levels of competition into their early 20s.

 

[MardyBum]

Rutger skating with the US squad, hopefully a positive sign he might not be too far off.

Figured there had to be a chance, wouldn't have gotten an invite otherwise.

 

[Atoyot]

Jacob Julien with another goal and assist in the 1st. He's going to be relied on pretty heavily for offense until the top scorers get back from the World Juniors.

 

[MardyBum]

Looking like he'll be good for the WJC barring a setback if he's lining up with Cutter Gauthier for a scrimmage

I snicker at Snuggerup.

Would a redraft have Jacob Julien in the top 3 rounds?

 

[Atoyot]

3G1A for Julien tonight.

One of the big scorers got cut from team Canada and is back but he's playing on a separate line.

I'd say it's early for that, looking promising for sure. 34 points so far in 30 games, he had 16 in 40 last season.

EDIT: Actually 38 points in 31.

Are we allowed to get excited? I know he was undrafted in 2022

 

[LDN]

Julien has been impressive. Has solid potential

I'm not the excitment police

I hadn't actually noticed that he was draft eligible in 2022. Only made the cut by 3 days so would have been one of the youngest in the draft.

Crazy pace the last 10 games. 6’4” perhaps he’s figuring it out.

Good to see esp when certain rash people were speculating if the injury was career threatening.

 

[WiscoJet]

Been a tough year for prospects with injuries so heck yes I am excited about Julien. Kudos to the scout who pulled this one off.

Darn. Well, if you find the excitement police let me know because I have an infraction to report on the Leafs fans at my office
