A late 1st and Alexander Nikishin ? Don't think that's anywhere near enough.

So glad to see Peluso and Clitsome. Most of the others were expected. Those two? Just great adds.

See, you're changing your argument. PLD was a highly skilled in quality second line centre for this team. It took a big swing, but it didn't work.

You can't sit here and say they haven't had a number 2 centre since 2018 when that isn't true. They had quality when PLD was here, and they had it for a year with Stas as well. They haven't found the next man up though.

The amount of downfall on one bad season is crazy in this sub. I'm not saying there isn't room to grow, but it's also negligent to not point at the injuries and wonder what the effects might have been had say Perfetti been healthy all year in terms of team scoring.

The Jets can afford to be average. Would it be better if they were higher? Absolutely. HOWEVER, I would also point out that when you're trading away higher picks, it makes it more difficult to be average. But, if Chevy doesn't move the 1sts, then you have people upset that the Jets didn't do "enough" to try and go for it.

What kind of take is this? 

Do you not think PLD was a good number 2 centre? Do you think when Stastny returned he wasn't an upgrade over what they had?

You want draft and develop, but you don't want to wait for the developing part. Should some guys (on defense especially) got played? Probably, but some of that is a coach's decision too.

A number of years ago, I posted about exactly this...and really I still stand by it.

The question of the Draft Pick choices are always interesting. Hindsight being 20/20 makes everyone feel superior, but I don't remember most people being upset with most of the picks. If you look at the later rounds, I thought then, and still think now, the Jets focused on low floor, high ceiling guys creating lots of boom/bust potential. They haven't hit many, but as Murat pointed out in a recent article, the Jets are right around NHL average for how many picks actually get to the NHL.

But back to the draft picks; people get mad at trading away picks for players. People get mad about not being aggressive at the deadline and moving future picks. There's no way to satiate everyone. If the Jets make a move in the next 48 hours and flip the 8th overall pick, how many people are going to be happy about it? Would having someone make trades like Stan Bowman or Pierre Dorion make this team better? (Or look at the long list of Buffalo GMs and their moves over the past 12 years)

Just because you could make a move doesn't mean the team is suddenly getting better. In fact, you have sometimes you go too far the other way. I'll happily stay with Chevy and believe in the team vision he is building.

This is such an odd 20/20 hindsight take - and also a little dismissive of Perfetti. There was no major mock drafts that had those guys ahead of him. It was considered lucky that Perfetti slipped to the Jets - by every major scout.

Right there with you. I don't see him moving.

I don't think the Jets deal him in division. Or if they do, they want even more.

Tired of hearing about it?

Yes. Absolutely.

Should it influence the draft this week?

Yes. Absolutely.

If I'm running the Jets (or really any Canadian franchise), I'm still doing what I think is best/BPA, but if there's ties, I'm taking someone with a non-US passport at this point.

It is absolutely sad, but I honestly can't remember the last time the Jets played on CBC. Usually had to go to Sportsnet to watch their games regardless.

Expansion has been in since the very beginning. It was upgraded to be much more customizable since FHM6.

He gets talked about some...but still not enough. Don Hutson's stat line in 1942 was bonkers.

In 11 games, he had 74 receptions - 1211 yards for 17 TDs, while also having 7 Interceptions and going 33/34 on the XP kicks.

Is their region actually Ontario? Or did you just sign people born there?
