Good team win. Keep building on it. Hoglander benefiting from not playing with Pearson.

At least Hoglander hasn't had his spirit or compete destroyed, yet.

So 7 years in to Bennings 5 year plan he wants us to wait a few more years to become Elite? If I was an owner, I turf this guy. He's incompetent and his presser today confirmed what we already knew. This guy is winging it.

Hoglander is a beauty. That's all.

No OJ and Virt gets slivers.

Problem is, with Travis playing, Jake would be in the press box.

Thanks.

His stats are garbage.

3-2 Leafs Marner

Hold your breath.

The sentence speaks for itself. It's more clear than a guy who signs off posts on an internet forum.

I don't need to provide anything. Disregard, G

Insert beating dead horse gif

Other than the odd blue on the Jets jerseys, their unis are nice.

Watching Laine getting traded out of Winterpeg while Canuck fans still defend Virtanens play. Whoa.

I like JB as a scout mostly.

Button FTW

That's where the eye test and the stats test come in. If Jake takes a 4 second shift and nothing happens and you extrapolate that over 60 minutes he looks like a Selke winner. He's lazy and comfortable. He is gun shy from the physical side and he's a one trick pony.

He does nothing in the defensive zone. He sits on the half wall waiting for the puck, he never gets anything done. If Jake's Corsi etc are so great, ask yourself, would take a team of Jake's or a team of Hoglanders? What other players that are forwards would you take a team of over a team of Jake's? It's a lot. His play doesn't pass the eye test or the stats test. If the numbers you mentioned make him 'special' why is he on the verge of being dealt and not getting more playing time? People's defense of the potato is so strange. Is it because he grew up here? Are these guys his friends on here? He has an amazing skill set, he just will never put it together here. Whether its the coaching, being close to home, friends etc he is way underachieving and it's time to move him.

3 - 1 Jets Ehlers

At 6th overall it's not about being a diamond, Lidstrom was a diamond, Jake should have been a blue chip and instead turned into a potato chip. His career trajectory does not match his draft position and his play this year is reflective of other issues (some are not of his own doing I am sure). So let's move him, give him a fresh start and replace him with Zack every night.

Now do Marchand's numbers. Here, I'll help 770gp 300 goals 669 pts Which is what we want out of 6th overall.

Sure, bye Felicia.

At 6th overall, Jake was a poor pick when you look at the rest of the round. Nylander, Ehlers, Larkin, Pastrnak etc .

It's fine that you want to hitch your wagon to Jake. The rest of us see Brad Isbister while you hope for Brad Marchand. He's done in Vancouver.
