Great pick at #24!

Winger with great hands and is growing

thanks, i really wanted Stankoven but he went two picks prior. I still like the trade though, this draft is a bit of a crap shoot but now we will have two cracks at first rounders.

I'm going to make a prediction to what Ross is saying the Jets might do that he's claiming will be a bad move, my guess is they might trade their 1st round pick in this upcoming draft to Seattle so they won't take either DeMelo or Appleton in exchange for future considerations (which is usually nothing!), maybe if there has to be a selection by Seattle it'll be Niku or Harkins, so the Jets 2021 1st round pick, Niku(or Harkins) and expansion draft considerations(which is not taking DeMelo or Appleton) to Seattle for future considerations(nothing).

Idk, just a guess, will be an interesting few weeks in the NHL, hopefully Chevy doesn't do anything stupid!!.. Lol

I know you are just guessing and spitballing a bit here but a scenario such as this would be unpopular. Trade the first so the Krack don't take DD or Apples and take Niku instead is paying a first for DD or Apples. DD and Apples are not worth a first imop.

I know you are just offering a scenario to add a possibility but I hope that doesn't happen, especailly if we have some young legs waiting in the wings.

Like you say, I hope Dayoff doesnt do anyhting stupid, lol!

This is exactly what I predicted would happen when the Jets signed Lowry. It’s totally up Chevelallseasonoff’s alley.

Lol, you use to call him Chevelseasonoff but now its "allseasonoff"

That is hilarious!

I wouldn’t take Ristolainen at 50% retained for free

One thing is for certain, I have never seen a GM take his name more literally than Cheveldayoff.

Agree with Rexy on Risto with retained salary, maybe even 25%

Funny every time i watch Buffalo he looks decent, good even. Big, can skate, plays physical…..I can see why expectations were high on this guy.

Rumour of a silly contract for 28 year old Daneault from the Kraken.

If they want to play defensive hockey, maybe he's their man at C.

However if they want to play fast, exciting hockey for their new base, maybe not so much.

Seattle is allowed to offer 8-year deals in this window which could be a big advantage

But that would be their Montreal pick in the draft, right?

Chevy traded down 11 spots in the first round and a 3rd round pick to protect 1 year of Enstrom and Dano.

So with that in mind the Jets will trade their 1st (17th) for Seattle 2nd (34th) to protect DeMelo and Appleton.

But if that doesn't happen and Seattle take DeMelo, then the Jets will trade for a salary dump of Vancouver's and get Tyler Myers. Though they might do that even if they keep DeMelo.

He’s in the top 50 in the league for pretty much every offensive category at 5v5

Always wanted to see what Myers and Stanley would look like together with their huge combined reach. However with Edler potentially gone I doubt the Canucks would trade Myers

If we keep our pick I would be ok with C/LW Zachery L’Heureaux
39 pts in 33 games
Suspended 4 times (not a red flag…..yet)

Looks like a tough kid to play against

Dam! Carolina just drafted Zachary L'Heureux in the moch draft. I strongly considered him at 24 and very much wanted him to be here at 31. I feel the Jets need a guy like him or Stankoven, that talented poop disturber like a Gallagher or Marchand.

I like your pick a lot

L’Heurouex is not a kid you want to reach for I don’t think but he’s a tempting type of player

Defiantly fits a need but I always defer to best available

Glad I’m not drafting Friday night lol

You are welcome Chevy! If this does not help your case in attracting free agents, I don’t know what will.

This should easily help sway Dougie Hamilton come over to Winnipeg! Only Canadian City to make it as well.

I just had the worst dream

We will trade for PK Subban ($6mill) Seattle will eat $3 mill for one year

Give up our 1st

Seattle will take Niku

starting to lean a little off the board with the next pick, any thoughts on Morrow or Pert? both seem to be higher risk at this point but also could be high reward

I love that guy. Him and Morrissey together would be dynamic. And, considering that he was playing for a pretty crappy team, he had decent possession metrics.

I like Morrow a lot actually, Duke, Olausson, Dean and Chayka

Small sample size for games played this year so crapshoot levels are high!
