Saw some flashes last night of up and comings players like Vesalainen and Gufstasson with Lewis. They had some awesome shifts hemming Calgary in their own end and you can see these kids inching toward more confidence as they were controlling the play and created good chances.

Speaking of confidence, you can see Stanley gaining more and more everygame. So, what happens with the expansion draft in terms of young players that have to be exposed or protected due to playing enough pro games?

Will players like Stanley, Ves, Appleton be eligible to get picked up by Seattle?

Wpg has an awesome team and needs to win it all this year. Seattle is going to be plucking players off this team for sure so who is eligible to be exposed or protected aside from the obvious like Helle, Schief, Connor, Dubois, Wheeler because of his NTC, etc?

Vesalainen is exempt but Stanley and Appleton will be eligible so the Jets will need to protect them, risk losing one of them or make a trade with Seattle, I see a trade with the Kraken as inevitable.

What did you say?
- TheUltimateJet


talked about Murice and his double standards. examples

-anylitics are crap when they show wheeler in a bad light but its ok to say the anylitics proved Shief and Laine had no chemistry

-saying wheelers defensive play isn't the whole story and highliting his 11 points but not saying 8 of those 11 points came with a man advantage is also not telling g the whole story

-getting mad at anyone critizing wheeler in public but then defends him on a goal against by completely throwing conoor under the bus, he has had no issues being critical of young players but older players get a pass

Mason Appleton, this man is definitely turning into a force of nature!!!

So much untapped potential. I think when Dubois is in the line-up, this man is definitely going to score 30.

I think you are setting the bar rather high for him but absolutely Appleton has been improved and impressive thus far

Yes, Apples had a couple of apples last night but my player of the game was Scheif. He was amazing last night. I had commented earlier about his work along the boards as well as his ability to emerge out of traffic with the puck. Those skills were on full display last night.

Can't wait for Dubios and watch the Jets get even better !

Haha.. Toth loses his mind when anyone points out any hypocrisy/double standards from Maurice with facts, I'd swear he was related to Maurice somehow.. Lol

He really cut you off too, he does that all the time when someone is commenting something that he doesn't agree with, it's really irritating and terrible of a host in my opinion, just let a caller finish their point before making a counterpoint ffs, he acts like a petulant child when people have takes he doesn't agree with.
