Yeah, we have some two way balanced players in Yager and Salomonsson. Some middle 6 type offensive guys in Lambert, Barlow, Chibrikov and some decent depth at forward and in net.

We need to add a couple of real impact players to round out that pool. Going to be challenging where we are drafting from.

Our 6'6 6th rounder tearing up the OHL may have something to say about that in 5 years from now

Nice that Barlow is scoring, but I’d still use him as a trade chip. He hasn’t improved his skating and he won’t have the kind of time and space for releasing his shot in pro hockey that he’s still getting in junior.

Package him with a 1st and even Ville who’s not getting a real chance while Stanley’s here. See what you can get to help the team now.

I'm not against that, but who might the Jets get with a rich package? It has to be a 2C or a top-4 RD with term. Very few options out there for that.

I wonder if the Jets might go even bigger and package Ehlers or Perfetti and try for a bigger fish in the 1C type of category.

One big problem is that so many potential trade targets will have the Jets on their NTC list, and likely won't waive if they have term on their contracts.

I think this might be part of what Chevy was alluding to when he mentioned about the factor of what's actually available on the trade market.

Are you making fun of yourself with that awful take on Barlow earlier ?

No, making fun of the poster above who said since Musty has returned Walton has stopped putting up points because he’s no longer “the go to guy”.

As far as My take on Barlow goes, I’m not the only one that can see he’s plateaued since his draft year. He’s not a can’t miss prospect. I try to look at Jets prospects without rose coloured glasses on.Don’t have to fall in love with every prospect. Differing opinions are allowed.

Just an observation, not sure why it warrants being made fun of. Are you familiar with Musty?

Fellas, this is ProspectLand, not #TheStanleySaga -- it's supposed to be the fun thread, an antidote to the wrangling elsewhere...

Two games -- He's gotta learn, I guess. Nice plays from Yager and good to see Barlow heating up a bit. Agree with many here that his game needs rounding out in terms of skating and D-play -- don't see enough of him to know whether he's been working on those elements this season.

I have zero worries with Walton, though I recall a few knowledgeable posters noting that he hit a midseason slump last year, where he seemed disengaged. Doesn't seem to be the case yet this year, so here's hoping.

Thanks to @ICdave for the updates with highlights and to the others who do the serious watching for the rest of us!

Excellent news. Without having watched him aside from highlights posted in here, it might make sense that his production stalled a little when his focus went from offense only to a sound two way game

That's usually the step these prospects have to take on the Moose. People who don't watch junior hockey wouldn't believe how "loosy-goosy" or run and gun it is. Lots of guys putting up big points are doing it by cheating defense... being on the wrong side of the puck, feather dusting, fly-bys, etc... stuff that doesn't work in the pros

I had said this earlier after watching him play that he was working outside his comfort zone,he just wasn't posting up for one timers,he was actually playing behind the net and along the boards to feed his team mates,also the fact the whole line is new and never had a training camp together didnt helped,but one thing that is always their is his ability to wire it home.

The thing that worries me about walton is his stiff gait,would like him to have a bit more flex of a matador,if not he is going to need more beef,also that long reach has caused him to really rely on stick checks and eliminates the need for taking the man,junior yes,ahl maybe, nhl probably not.he doesn't get challenged that much coming up the boards that much in junior with the size discrepancy .

Walton has to learn what his position is because he plays forward like a mid-field rover,and multiple loops at his own blue line is frustrating to watch,he isn't developing his defensive game at all,against northbay he was all over the place yet I don't remember him making contact with the opposition, it's no help that musty is playing the same way and changing wings multiple times on the same shift,they will end up deep in the minus if they don't straighten out.
