Prospect Info: Jets Prospects

[Gil Fisher]

don’t think I agree with those who think the Jets’ window is closing. I think the older guys on the team have a few years left of star-calibre production. And I look at our prospect pool (particularly at fwd, outside of Elias Salomonsson at D) and it’s intriguing, to say the least. I wonder if all (or most) of the following play with the Moose in the upcoming season: Colby Barlow, Kieron Walton, Kevin He, Brayden Yager. You add those guys to Lambert & Chibrikov and suddenly there’s a decent sized pool of younger players at forward. Will they all pan out? No, odds would say. But I like the odds of a few of them making it and potentially top-6 potential. It’s not unrealistic to think that a few of them will play NHL in the not-too-distant future on cheap ELC contracts.

I may be in the minority here, but I don’t hate that Chevy didn’t trade like 3 of these prospects for an older rental. Just like I didn’t understand those last year who wanted Perfetti to be traded at the deadline.

He and Walton are not AHL eligible next season.

Julien is.

I wouldn’t mind a rotating rookie position to give a bunch of players a few games at NHL level.

I think one of the Jets downfall has been not giving young guys a chance yet playing perennial duds because of who knows why.

Are they can trade for Gibson and develop him,reminds me of barry long with more nasty

Thank god we didn't trade Yaeger and a 1st for Brock Nelson. Avs better resign him fast.

Avs likely don't have the cap space to re-sign Nelson. He's likely going to get over $7M AAV as a UFA this summer. He's one of the UFAs that might interest the Jets, especially if they don't re-sign Ehlers. Duchene is another UFA C that might be of interest. It really depends on re-signing Ehlers.

Ah ok. I thought Walton played for the moose this year for a few games but I was perhaps mistaken.

Didn’t Nelson refuse to lift his no trade clause to come here at the deadline? Can’t see him signing here long term.

Not sure he'll have many suitors that he likes.

He did play for the Moose but only after his team was eliminated. Same rule applies for 2025-26 season. He’ll be able to start with the Moose in the 2026-27 season.

I think this team is going to be running out of prospect gas in a few years (if it hasn't already). The 2011-16 core is already way older than the Atlanta core was in 2011. Buff and Enstrom were the oldest at age 26 in 2011. Vilardi turns 26 this summer...
