A quick passer who loves rebounds? Sounds perfect to match our new rocket Russian.

Obviously willing to give the kid a chance, but passing on Buium and Helenius is questionable.

Good to note how young he is

I was willing to wait for michkov whos a real talent. This kid isnt proven to be anything. You passed on talent that could benefit now for a maybe 3 years down the line? Stupid

I like Jett a lot..I view him maybe higher than Helenius. A+ speed. Good playmaker. Good play driver. Good 2way. Great work ethic. I’m just fricken stumped at passing up Buium. I really am.

He’s 17 and has elite speed and good defensive awareness? Sign me the fuck up. Let the kid develop and stop putting down our prospects for fucks sake. Root for his success rather than be pissed off. All the potential is there for success.
Edit: miss me with the negativity fam. This pick is gonna be solid as fuck.
I think everyone needs to remember that the draft rankings that are put out are not the same that NHL teams have internally
I was never a fan of Helenius, because I thought that he was the “safe” pick whose ceiling may not be that high. I’d rather Danny take a shot than go status quo
The “looks like he will stick at center” piece is literally exactly what we need

I hate being an armchair analyst, and I know i’m supposed to listen to all the real ones we have. But at the same time… all the other REAL ones out there projected him much later so… I feel like it’s fair to be unhappy.

Dangles in close? Get him in the shootout lineup

I’m whelmed by this pick. It’s not German Rubstov bad, but certainly a head scratcher. Can’t teach speed, but can everything else.

So I said it in another thread but the reason I’m not so sold in this pic is Helenius was one of the youngest players playing in Liiga vs men.
Jett is young, but playing against boys

I like it when they are fast

This pick killed the honeymoon phase for me with this new management group. You really need to swing for upside with your picks if you’re not going to tank, and this pick seems like the opposite of that. Hope I’m wrong though.

Oh really? From this subs reaction I thought he was the reincarnation of John Scott.

So, a faster Scott Laughton?
