Thanks for the link. That was quite an interesting article.
There are two factors in play that were not around in 1990, though. The salary cap, which adds incredible value to entry level contracts and the expansion draft next year.
I think if the Bruins give the Jets four-first round picks and pay way over market rate for Trouba, the Jets come out looking like winners.
Buf decided he wanted to play here.
Interesting line.
I wonder though, as often is the case, can two crazy skill guys like Ehlers and Laine coexist on the same line?
I want it to work, I really do.
But for arguments sake...
This is exactly the way Willy looked most of the games last year before the season ending injury. He was holding the ball, inaccurate down field, and throwing short of first downs.
I was hoping to pick up my jersey before the game day; however, I can't get out there before 6 tonight.
Does anyone know what time do they close the parking lot down prior to game time? I hope that I can get out to the stadium tomorrow, later in afternoon but need to get close to the stadium store.
It would be even better if the Jets had already decided they wanted Puljujarvi! Anything on top of the 2nd overall for the 3rd would be a good deal.
How about 3rd overall and CBJs 1st rounder next year for the 2nd pick? Since we're throwing around ideas.
Another reason I have a preference for Laine... his attitude. He's going to spend the rest of his career trying to prove that he should have been number one overall pick. There seems to be a fire there.
If the Jets had number one, Matthews all the way.
I don't think you can say that Puljujarvi is better all around player. He may play a 200 foot game but most scouts put Laine ahead. It's close, I'm sure.
Also, pointing out knee injury concerns when Puljujarvi just had knee surgery?
I wouldn't riot, I wouldn't care. I'm sure whoever the Jets pick, they'll have their reasons. But I like Laine's shot and his physical game.
