The group playing in Penticton will be on the ice together for the first time at Bell MTS Iceplex on Sept. 7, at 12:30 pm. Players suiting up for the Winnipeg Jets in this year's Young Stars Classic include event veterans Mikhail Berdin, Jansen Harkins, Jamie Phillips, Michael Spacek, Jordy Stallard, and Logan Stanley, along with two of Winnipeg's 2017 NHL Draft selections, Leon Gawanke and Skyler McKenzie, who are participating in their first-ever Young Stars Classic. Broadcast partner TSN 1290 will carry all three Jets games from the Young Stars Classic, called by the radio play-by-play voices of the Jets, Dennis Beyak and Paul Edmonds.

kelownabomberfan Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 not sure if I am going to go this year. There are maybe five names on that list that I recognize. I saw the Human Pylon aka Logan Stanley last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustamente Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 We don't do very well at this tourney but I always enjoy watching. Some of the better prospects wont be there but still very interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustamente Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Pretty well all the college guys that were taken early at last years draft and of course Connor and Roslovic both of which I consider 2 of our better prospects, and Poolman who is still recovering from shoulder surgery and is probably not available.

Id imagine Poolman is available otherwise he wouldn't be on the roster. Great D this year. Lacking upfront tho but Harkins spacek Appleton will be fun to watch... Some of the invited players are intriguing also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IC Khari Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 It's fun to watch our overmatched prospects get slaughtered in this tourney every year ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelownabomberfan Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 which is why I didn't go this year. Tickets are $22 plus handling fee. I don't mind seeing it if there are players I want to see like Ehlers/Connor. But this year, meh, I'd rather be in the man-cave watching football.

JCon Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Poolman is playing today. I'll be interested to see how his conditioning is following the double surgeries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrostyWinnipeg Posted September 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 The losing streak is over. The Jets fired 34 shots and allowed only 10 as they cruised to a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames. Berdin with the win. 10 shots? Even MBB's Goalie would grab a W! blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bustamente Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Got to watch all 3 games this weekend, we have some good prospects who a are a few years away, Poolman did finally play today like what I saw, Niku will play for the Jets someday, Harkins got better as the tourney went on. Berdin is a nice prospect in net but is a long way if ever, Spacek had glimpses but I don't know. The Unknown Poster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Heard someone on TSN1290 analyzing the Jets from this weekend. Didnt catch who. He said Logan Stanley is still a project but had surprising mobility. But his decision making was still half a step behind. Said Harkins was good. Said Niku was almost ready and I think he called him a proto-typical D man in todays NHL. He's 21 next month and has been playing over-seas. He's also a Left Shot! (Replacement for Toby??)

Golly wouldn't that be nice?! Comparables are there; Toby spent his first few pro seasons overseas, undersized, late draft pick. From what we've heard, excellent skater. Gotta figure he's ready for full-time AHL duty at minimum. That'd be a nice step up from Liiga. blue_gold_84 and The Unknown Poster 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the comparables would be off the charts. Where is Vesalainen playing this year? Finland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 (edited) Technically he could play for the Moose already cuz Europe but hes got a 1 year contract there. Probably see him next year or the year after. Niku is very good. Your opinion of Enstrom is so wrong its crazy but Niku has potential to be very good. Forget Stanley.. Hes years away... Years... Niku could see games this year if injuries happen. Edited September 18, 2017 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I heard some analysts calling Niku the the first D call up. Nice to hear. Chiarot and Nogier getting pushed by Poolman and Niku for D depth is great. And it would sure be nice to have some leverage when Toby's deal expires next year...to either retain him cheap or have the option of walking away, which, with the Kulikov signing, might be the thought process.

I am hoping by half way through the year Toby has been pushed to the press box. Just like Stewart last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
