Wonder if McLeod or Gauthier could fall to 22nd... they are both dropping pretty fast- would be an absolute steal...
If Jets pick 6th... I'd go Dubois, Tkachuk, Juolevi
If they are down at 7-8th - Juolevi, Brown, Jost...
At 8th or 9th, I would look at trading down - say with Boston... their two first rounders for our 1st and 2nd - B's really need a D-man
Is this a joke?
Enstrom was on our second D pairing with Myers for at least 1/3 of the season
Maurice rides all of our top 4 D but don't pretend that Enstrom has it harder than Buff or even Myers... when you watch the big games, it is Myers that is assigned to McDavid or Ovechkin as a shut down D
Enstrom is a good supporting D, good with his stick and with a nice crisp pass... but he will always give up the zone and is pushed off the puck easily in the corners.
Pretty hard to judge anyone's talent out there, Vancouver was absolutely awful. Moose would have beat them.
The real story of the second half are Ben Chiarot and Lowry imo... they have quietly regained their form from last season. Solid depth guys, Lowry winning face-offs again, Chiarot playing safe and keeping the puck along the boards.
No one is writing Dano off, but he needs to work on his back check. Burmistrov... bye bye - same player he's always been. Would lead scoring in the AHL easy.
Funny, the same guys who rant about Hamonic having the most ice time with NYI also ignore the fact that Enstrom plays less than Buff, Trouba, Myers...
Enstrom is not our best statistical D - surprisingly, Buff is, he gets harder minutes too. His stats are not WAY better than Myers.
Here's a stat... Trouba has 147 blocked shots, that's 50 more than the nearest Jet... that's the kind of D I want...
I think Glover is a great prospect but he hasn't shown any real offensive upside yet... looking more like a Chiarot type right now
also think Kraskovsky has potential, really liked his game at WJC.
I know cup final appearances make a difference... not sure about what else.
Sounds like lower the points, the higher the pick for everyone eliminated per round...
