i agree, the Jets have a good D now and i prefer how Trouba and Myers play with Buff out of the line up (all Right handed D). they have Kostelak and Glover coming up on D and could easily use one of their first round picks to draft one or trade for a solid 3/4 guy

assuming everything works out the way they hope, that's a fantastic top 4. as good as anyone in the league
- hugefemaledog77


No true "stud" numbers 1s there, but a bunch of number 2 and 3s. thats a really tough balanced top 4

87 points is all it took to win the Art Ross this season, 67 points would be top 25.

I think Enstrom is the odd man out because Morrissey will make him expendable in a few seasons and he has that dreaded "size" deficiency.
- Dangles13

agree, but I dont think he is easy to move, big contract and some type of no trade

either way, I didn't think it was that confusing that I was referring to hall.
unequivocally elite

this isn't some slight to eberle either. a true 1rw

3 years at 5.75m, I think its movable. Just depends on where he wants to go. I think he would wave to go to Detroit. Play with Zetterberg.

I know I would take him on the Avs right now

I think trouba has the chops to be a true 1.

but as u said, probably not in that 'superstar stud' class.

Trouba is only 20, still has plenty of time to become a true "Stud" as you put it

assume its last season.
would you trade nurse before petry?

- hugefemaledog77


I get your point.
However, as I said before, it all depends on who is available at the 16th pick (Don't forget that this is a draft year similar to 2003).

Plus we have to be a little aggresive, eberle is an elite/top end talent. Two consecutive 60+ seasons and he hasn't even peaked yet!

Remember, we are trying to improve our defensive situation for now and to keep it like that in the future so we don't end up with what we have now.

He's got value, most people outside of Winnipeg don't see his negatives as closely and would look more to his boxcars.

as I mentioned, I wasn't calling eberle 'elite'. but a proven top line scorer nonetheless.

what was it u said about ebs scoring ranking over the last few years among the league and just rw's?

He's 40th in points/60 and 34th overall in total scoring since he's been in the league.

He wouldnt get the job done, but I think the Avs shop McGinn to see if they can get a good dman for him. McGinn, a prospect like Seimens and a pick next year is package I would like to see them put together.
