Prospect Info: Jets Prospects

[JetsFan815]

Watched the first period and half or so of the Michigan game until they went up 3-0 and then turned it off thinking it'd be a boring game but it turns out Ohio came back to win oops.

On paper Michigan is such a good team but they are very leaky defensively, atleast in the games I've watched. You get the feeling that a team with so many good NHL prospects should not have such a mid record. Really don't like their chances of winning the whole thing.

I think the Jets might move Iafallo and replace him with McGroarty. They could use his cap space to extend Perfetti, and might want to re-sign Dillon and DeMelo. Schmidt buy-out and trade Iafallo gives them enough cap room to extend Perfetti and sign both Dillon and DeMelo.

Personally I think Schmidt has played well enough that he might have actual value, esp since it's his last season and a buyout is not the only option. Chicago, Ottawa, Sharks have all talked about adding veteren players who are good in the room. Nate is a great fit for Chicago and Sharks. Chicago also doesn't mind paying significant real dollar money for guys they think can help in the room with their younger players like they have by overpaying Foligno and Dickinson. I really like the Chicago-Schmidt fit and his play has shown that he's still got it as a legitimate NHL d-man.

Also another option I don't see being talked about much is moving on from Pionk. Pionk will be in the last year of his deal here next season and could be moved for cap savings if we sign both Dillon and DeMelo.

Morrissey - DeMelo
Samberg - Heinola
Dillon - x

Is a cap efficient d-corps that can be solid depending on that last piece.

Who are we most confident making the jump next year? Lambert and Rutger?

Lambert has done everything that has been asked of him by the organization and has proven himself at a pro level so I would guess him. Although if there are bottom-6 injuries I feel they are more likely to play McGroarty. I think Brad will be given the opportunity to win the 2nd line C spot at training camp.

I've got a 4-2 Michigan final?

It's likely the Jets will try to move someone in the top-9 next year. Iafallo is the likely target although it he keeps playing like he is, the Jets would have to give up something to get rid of him....unless they retain a small amount of salary. The Jets pretty much never promote two rookies at the beginning of the season so it's likely only one of McGroaty or Lambert will make it assuming they have a good training camp next year.

Salomonsson will require at least one year of seasoning in the AHL, if not 2 or more (we don't know if he is even good enough for the NHL). Even if the Jets are unable to retain either of Demelo or Dillon, they will likely bring in some cheap free agent from elsewhere...or trade another pick for a bottom pairing d-man. Heinola would get the other vacant spot by default.

A team like the sharks or blackhawks would probably take him for a mid rounder. He's a great vet to plug into a younger less skilled lineup

They really don’t have strong goaltending on this iteration of their team. Could be a factor.

Oops I was looking at the final score of Wisconsin game instead of the Ohio game last night.

 

[Joe Hallenback]

Yes Michigan has some weak goaltending. I think there main guy is a 5 year transfer from another college. They spent a lot of time recruiting but they seem to miss the boat on that position

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

My guess is there very well may not actually be an open spot upfront next year. I doubt the org will want any of its young players on the fourth line and we currently have all our top 9 under contract or team control.

Except Monahan.

Brad had such a long way to go that I find it hard to believe he would be ready next year, especially for a top 6 role - but I haven't actually seen him play this year. It is certainly possible. It would be huge to fill that 2C spot internally so soon.

His defense still needs a lot of work for a Bowness team to play C.

I'd be looking more the year after next as the target for him to make the jump.

Except Monahan.

Sure, but Bones will put Namestnikov back in over a raw rookie imo.

If monahan looks decent I'd be surprised if chevy doesn't sign him before he hits Ufa - he nust have ptsd after letting Stas walk

Lowry is the 2C.

The 3C in this case needs to generate offense since the 2C's line is streaky and unreliable with offense and gets minutes to be a shutdown line. Could be Lambert, but the Jets are hard D Dinosaurs with some things so they will be 3x slower developing a C than most teams, so maybe in 3-4 years after spending assets trading for middling C's at deadlines one of Perfetti/Vilardi/Lambert will be one.

1 top 6 C in 13 years.

 

[snowkiddin]

Barlow scored his 100th career OHL goal tonight. He has 7 goals, 5 assists for 12 points in his last 5 games. 9 goals, 6 assists for 15 points in his last 10

 

[Atoyot]

2 powerplay goals for Barlow, whose team lost 4-3 in a shootout against Julien's team. Julien had one assist.
One goal and 8 shots on net for McGroarty.

EDIT: seems like McGroarty finished with 4 shots.

Rutger sure likes to pepper them goalies with shots, eh?

Seems like it, though I just checked the final box score and now he's only credited with 4 shots so not sure what happened there.

Yes, Lowry is the 2C but no, Lowry is not the 2C.
He is the 2C by default. De fault of us not actually having a 2C.

How many games was it that Perfetti played C to start the season? 5? 6? Whatever, it was not much. After he got his feet under him was he ever tried there again? No. I'm guessing it was just because of FO. I'm not going to say that FO don't matter, but their importance is greatly exaggerated.

Why has Vilardi not been tried at C? I'm going to guess it is the same reason.

I'm keeping an open mind on Monahan. Hope he succeeds. At least he is good at FO.

 

[DeepFrickinValue]

NHL Ass star game should really include top prospects event running parallel. Each team gets to have 2 top prospects attend.

Draft/prospects really makes NHL different to other sports and nhl doesn’t educate/market this to fans enough..

Bones was talking about losing faceoffs and it costing them 25 seconds on the power play to get back into their zone. Next thing you know, Chevy trades for someone good on the dot.

Yes, that’s just another thing me and Rutger have in common. We both know what the sport hockey is, we both want the Winnipeg Jets to succeed, and we both like to pepper stuff — him with shots on the opponent’s net and me with my chicken-quinoa-broccoli power bowls. I also like peppering this board with mild shitposts.

We’re basically one and the same.

Bacon-orzo-jalapenos, that's a power bowl.
