Game 83 Jets @ Draft Lottery

[IC Khari]

I think it's too early to give up on either player but you never know.

[bustamente]

Think the Jets will keep 22 and pick Logan Stanley will need time to develop but a solid pick non the less

[Floyd]

If Trouba and Buff click, there's no reason to trade anyone...  Enstrom is fine as a second pairing D

With Laine our top six is actually pretty big... esp once Ehlers adds 10-15lbs

 

 

 

[Blueballz]

TBH I almost prefer a natural goal scorer with size on the wing...

I don't think 22 plus Burmi or stafford gets you top 10

I'd consider moving myers to edmonton for pick 4 tho if they would go for it. They want rhd. Myers for 4th and we take Chychrun Sergachev Juolevi there works.  Myers plus 22 for 4th. 

No to trading Myers. 

[Blueballz]

Myers is young and contract friendly so no

Well that's assuming EDM would go for Chychrun. They should but whether they will is another question. Heck if the Jets had the #4 pick I'm not sure we would pick Chycrun and we need a top 4 LHD yesterday. Just too many forwards pickable after top 3r. Dubois, Tkachuk, Nylander

2 RHD playing together? Don't like.

Ah, tis a fine, fine day to be a Jets fan...  Nice to see the Oilers fall to #4 out of The Big Three. I don't hate the Oilers players or fans. I just hate how they've become this entitled organization that fails every year despite high, high draft picks. The owner & people running & coaching that team should be embarrassed. I just feel bad for the fans. You know 2016-17 will be as miserable as the years before despite moving into a brand new building.

I just got ho me and checked the lottery results..........wow!

I can't believe our luck.

TO definitely takes Matthews which leaves us Laine....wow!

He will do his army stints in the off-season.

ESW

Perreault Little Laine

Connor Petan Armia

Lowry Copp Dano

 

I'd love to see Chevy move up from 22nd and take Chychrun, Juolevi or Sergachev around 9th or 10th.

I just can't believe our luck. My apologies to Goalie, he called a top 3 pick and here it is.........wow!

 

Where's Wheeler & Scheifle? In your defense that's like saying Goalie called that he'd win Lotto Max the day before & then he did so it's all good as it's luck. Our good luck! If this was any other year we might have stayed the same. But man, after this past season I AM STOKED! I have a blank Jets jersey that I bought in 2011 when the Thrashers moved to Winnipeg. I was waiting to put a number & name on it. If it's Laine, that night be the one.

How many older fans here remember the years we drafted Dave Babych in 1980 & Dale Hawerchuk in 81? Man, that was truly exciting! Especially drafting Hawerchuk. As a fan,I have the same feeling now as back then.

I remember when Fergie drafted Hawerchuk. That was a great day.

I don't feel bad for Edmonton. They will still get a heck of a player at 4th

I was thinking the same thing.  I can only imagine all of the mis-spellings of Puja-alphabet if we pick him instead of Laine.  Assuming that TO picks Auston Matthews.  I still wouldn't rule out an offer from Arizona to get Matthews.  It would have to be pretty huge.

Heikki Riihiranta; my all time indecipherable Finn.

Doubt it. They will trade the pick and the gm said he's already received some offers for it.

22nd pick be involved at some point in a Hamonic trade

Yep, just like it was yesterday. Fergie signed him to a contract at Portage & Main just like Bobby Hull's signing 9 years earlier. Remember both days so well.

[iso_55]

Like the NFL Draft. Goff or Wentz? Here in the NHL you have Matthews or Laine. Not a bad feeling to be #2.  in either league

[kelownabomberfan]

Love it if Laine gets rookie of the year while Matthews crumples under the pressure of being under a microscope in TO.  The fans there might expect the Leafs to win a game this year

 

[iso_55]

Be interesting what we do with the 22nd pick.

They are right next to Ehlers on the first line?

Of course it's luck, luck that he called.

Laine interview...

[Goalie]

Laine man. Dude. Man. Haha. Like spicoli from fast times at Ridgemont high. The Finnish Rockstar 

[Goalie]

 

I don't think you can go wrong with either of Laine or Puljujarvi 

[Ducky]

Too bad TO will take Matthews....as good as Laine will be, the Jets could use a C more than a winger.

Laine shoots right and plays LW? Some sites say RW and others say LW...
