Laine shoots right and Vesalainen shoots left.  Both have that great shot.  Defend that!

with all the talent we already have, adding another piece like Vesa in a few seasons is a crazy concept.  if we keep this group together... yikes.

Wheeler is the X Factor for me.  Im not worried about the Jets 3 or 4 years from now.  But if our window is truly opening, how does re-signing Wheeler or not re-signing Wheeler impact us?

good call but we do have a plethora of natural centres and wings who can play centre so if he chooses to walk/declines in skills then I think we will be ok if we can't replace him via FA or trade.

Best overall player on the team...hmmmm....hmmmm

Crazy talk to let Wheeler walk - the team took a leadership hit after Ladd walked and can't afford that again...

I say you go all in for the next 4-5 years as a contender

Your ideal term is three years at $6 million - that should see you thru Copp, Connor and Roslo's RFA deals

Did I mention I like this kid?

 

Very nice. Have to catch a game to see what his speed is. Ehlers or Laine or something in between.

Wheeler will take a 3 or 4 year hometown discount to stay. Guaranteed. Hes not young anymore. Hes not getting more than 4 or 5 years max... If hes out to cash in... Id trade him and get a haul. 

3 or 4 x 6.

Allow me this moment to remind you all that Vesalainen is 6'4, 210lbs.  Oh and he's 18 years old.   :wub:

Yet to see a game but how does he skate? Ehlers or Laine or inbetween?

watched him a bit during the World Juniors.  Definitely Armia 2.0.  Ha!  He's a great skater, very strong on the puck, and he's only going to get stronger.  Kid's only 18, with a pretty high ceiling.  Ok I think I've used all of the scouting buzzwords I know.
