Most analysts had him going 18-23.

Yup.  NHL had him ranked #19 among North American's.  A quick look at pre-draft mocks had him going 18 in some.  So regardless of what happens, Jets didnt take a chance on him at #18.  Aside from trading for that spot and thats really what makes people add a caveat here...the fact the Jets traded up to get that pick.

That's exactly the point...  no way Stanley was higher than McAvoy or Chychryn on their list - so pull the trigger on that trade or wait and draft Clague, Cholowski or Johansen...  anyway water under the bridge.

I'm sorry but Logan Stanley was not anywhere near the top of their draft list.  He was last man standing.

I'd love to hear the story of how you got to see Chevy's list...

I was just assuming it wasn't written in crayon.

Or based on every other scouting report available... but you're right, they probably wanted Stanley instead of Chychryn and McAvoy.

 so you think he still would have been there at that position even if they hadn't traded for him?

More that I would understand the trade to get Chychryn or McAvoy...  Stanley is a huge gamble

Like I said earlier maybe Chevy didn't want to give up what he had to give up to move up that high  and if most analysts and if most analysts had him around that area I don't think he's that much of a gamble to be honest.

Well we won't know for 4-5 years anyway.

Ducks still have to make some more cap room.

All indications are Jets wanted Stanley and when D started getting picked they worried he wouldnt fall to them.  Not that they were desperate for D...desperate not to lose a guy they wanted.  They ended up picking him right where he was slated to go.

$5.25...  Well, Trouba's life just got more complicated.  Jets are happy.

Dont the Ducks have LESS than $5.25 in cap space?

 

EDIT: seeing reports that this puts Ducks $1.4 million over the cap so will have to make a move.  Ill tell you, if Lindholm is available, I'd trade Trouba all day long for Lind at that price.

I'd take Lindholm over Trouba too. The problem is the Ducks almost certainly feel the same way.
