  10. Evander Kane Interview

    in Winnipeg Jets Discussion

    Posted

    Based on his performance and discipline the last two years - I don't think Kane will fetch what we think he'll fetch. So knowing Chevy's propensity to refuse trades where he's getting 60 to 75 cents on the dollar he'll probably keep Kane in the lineup.

    Which could be extremely foolhardy cuz if Kane continues to fall on the ice his market value will be a pail of pucks and the proverbial 10th rd. draft pick.

     

    Do you even follow the NHL? This post suggests no.

  11. Early Top 10 Ranking for 2015 Draft

    The true answer is there is more than one answer. Not every draft class is evaluated and discussed with the same variables in mind, because no draft class is the same. Sometimes there is a consensus. Sometimes there isn't. Sometimes you can trade up/down your board for value. Sometimes you can't. Sometimes you draft for need. Sometimes you draft the best player available. And in amongst all these variables, you also have to factor in that you're building 9 different draft profiles per draft class because there are 9 different teams.

     

    The 2015 draft class, although very early, seems to be a class where I personally would not specifically target an offensive lineman because the class appears deep with them. Beyond Danny Groulx, Sukh Chungh, Sean McEwen, Karl Lavoie and David Beard, it also appears to be a deep deep class of offensive lineman in the NCAA. Dillon Guy, Josiah St. John and Brett Boyko all have to factor in as they'll be NCAA seniors in 2014. It's so difficult to be sure on CIS eligibility but I'm fairly certain guys like Charles Vaillancourt, Winston Miles, Aaron Picton and Manitoba Bison Alex McKay are all draft eligible in 2015 as well.

     

    Now consider that there are a lot of attractive skill position players out there for teams to look at - Nic Demski, Lemar Durant, Bobby Pospischil, Shaq Murray-Lawrence, Addison Richards as well as guys like Daniel English (maybe?) and Mehdi Abdesmad factoring into the draft ...

     

    Of course, we have 10 months to sort out NFL interest, eligibility, who has a stock rise and drop, etc. But right now, the draft seems VERY deep and part of that is the rich OL talent.

  13. QB Mason Mills

    Numbers wise, yeah. Arm doesn't look great in the highlight vid. But who knows how old some of that footage is. He could easily have improved. I trust the scouts.

     

    The first player I thought of after I saw his iffy/wonky release on some of those throws and the way he scrambles around is Collaros.

  19. CFL Week 3 Winnipeg vs Montreal Preview

    Johnny Sears, move Sherman to the LB spot.

     

    Ya that's better... then we need to add another Nat'l on the roster (DB Alexander) as another backup.

    Can't be an Int'l since all DI position has been filled up.

     

     

    how do you figure

     

     

    i based it on the fact that Alexander haven't played a regular season game yet while Sears played 2 already, aside from the fact that Alexander is coming from injury. Also, his play on the Safety position (Esks) are not that good (according to some).

     

    That's just my opinion though.

     

     

    I meant how do you figure we have to add a Canadian if an American comes off the roster.
