2g 2a in a 4-0 win today. 40 pts in 21 games. Definitely has to be garnering some attention for the world juniors.

He probably had his best game of the season last night. Was exceptional at both ends of the ice. Had a big open ice hit, created turnovers on the forecheck, showed speed blowing by a defenceman for a breakaway goal, and also batted in a waist high deflected pass for one of the nicer goals of the season.

Obsessed with this guy. Would’ve taken Pelletier and Tomasino top 15.
Wish the blues could’ve traded for this pick :(:(
 
Another 2 assists today and now has 42 pts in 22 games. Could find himself top 3 in the scoring race as soon as his next game, and he is currently 2nd in assists in the Q (after Laf). Hope he keeps it up.

Third in league scoring with 3 games in hand on Pare and Laf. Needs 5 points in 3 games to tie Pare and 11 to tie Laf. I think Laf is obviously untouchable, but I can see Pelletier passing Pare.

Looks like Flames snagged a good one with their pick last year. He has exceeded expectations IMO, has taken his game to a whole new level and is leading the charge for Moncton.

I can't see Team Canada not taking him, he's playing too well and putting up huge numbers.

Poor Moncton. They had such a good team. Sucks that they have to rebuild when they were going to win the Mem cup IMO.

He’s had a great world juniors so far. He really should have more of an offensive role but eh I guess it is what it is.
 
Who does Pelletier remind you of style wise? I watched him at the WJC's and his two-way play really stood out to me. Always was relentless on the forecheck and involved in the play. I thought he was fantastic there.

I haven't seen much of him but is a Brad Marchand type comparison accurate?

I’ve always thought he had a similar style to Marchand, so I would agree there.
 
5g 7A for 12p in 10 games. These are really nice numbers for a kid his age in the AHL.

so while the numbers are looking good is he actually a force out there or are things just bouncing his way?

Expecting him to get a call up at some point or does he spend the entire year in the AHL?

Not style wise but as highly skilled energy guys Calgary has 2 on the team already in Dube and Mangiapane and the future looks bright in Calgary.

Watched the Heat v Reign game today and seen a couple other Heat games. Thought Pelletier was the best skater on the ice in a game that featured quite a few highly rated prospects. Always had his feet moving, disrupting forecheck, battled defensively. Scored a goal and had the primary on the game winner.

What stands out with Jakob the most for me is his playmaking. Great 2 way play, high motor, feisty around the net sure but really has a great understanding of where the seams are in a defense. Opens it up by moving his legs and has the skill to thread the needle.

He might get a callup if things go really wrong injury wise with the big club but unfortunately for him there's like 5 or 6 guys ahead of him on the LW depth chart.

This is an awesome recap. Appreciate you! No Calgary fan but I drafted the kid a couple years back in my keeper and I’ve really liked his progression.
