Floyd Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 Amazing how this team ended up with no real D prospects after Morrissey... and he was drafted in 2013

The Unknown Poster Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 Poolman has a chance to make the Jets. If not he'd be a top Moose D. What about Niku?

The Unknown Poster Posted February 24, 2017 Report Posted February 24, 2017 And when is Niku coming? Cause he's a left handed d and we could use some.

Realized that the lack of D was catching up to them. If only my wife came to the same realization.

Realized that the lack of D was catching up to them. If only my wife came to the same realization. Oddly enough, the D was considered a strong suit. And realistically, it should be. Toby, Buff, Touba, Myers gives you, on paper, a tremendous top 4. Morrissey being so good allows Toby and Buff to transition down as Josh and Trouba take over the top 2. And that still gives time to develop other D prospects. Injuries, over-all poor team D contributed to worse than expected D for the Jets. Assuming everyone is back and healthy next season, they should be significantly improved...providing Team D improves or Huddy is replaced. Poolman likely replaces Postma. Maybe Chevy picks up another decent D. But hopefully, between Poolman, Niku and Stanley, we get a couple of NHL d-men. EDIT: Forgot about Jack Glover who is 20 and playing his 3rd year of NCAA. Wouldnt he potentially be turning pro next season? Edited February 24, 2017 by The Unknown Poster Atomic 1

Again Poolman is essentially UFA with Jets having small window to sign him exclusively. If you're in your 3rd year of NCAA you're probably going 4 years. He must want to be educated.

When does he re-enter the draft? Definitely dont want to lose him. What about Nelson Nogier? How's he doing with the Moose?

Perhaps but I thought it was also about him playing with his brother this year down there? Maybe 1 season with your bro is enough and he'll be ready to chase that NHL dream.

JCon Posted February 24, 2017 Report Posted February 24, 2017 My instincts tell me that Poolman will make his NHL debut on Saturday, April 1st against the Senators.

Poolman has yet to sign a contract and could become a free agent within 30 days of graduating in the spring, allowing every NHL team to potentially bid for his services - Mike McIntyre/WFP Edited February 24, 2017 by FrostyWinnipeg

How's he doing with the Moose? Nogier is coming along. This is his first year with the Moose and he has looked okay... great at times, gets burned at other times. IMO, he'll be a Jet at some point but not next year.

It wont be a money thing but he will want the best chance to play in a city he will like for the next 7 years. I believe he's been to all the development camps so I'd suspect he has a strong relationship with the Jets and will sign with us.

So realistically, we could have Nogier, Poolman, Kostalek, Stanley, Glover and Niku as D prospect in the next 1-3 years. If we hit big on a couple, we're doing ok. Should be at least 3 NHL caliber D out of that group.
