Re: The Rebuild...
Jets lucked out? I’d say the Flames lucked out in the 2016 draft. The Jets just have an excellent scouting staff. Full stop.

BIG TIME LUCKED OUT................went from 6th overall to 2nd overall?? hella lucky, fortunato!Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 10:25 am Jets lucked out? I’d say the Flames lucked out in the 2016 draft. The Jets just have an excellent scouting staff. Full stop.
Laine scored 36 goals in his rookie year, to 44 goals next, even a slump year he's on pace for 37 goals, a superstar sniper game changer.
compared to Tkachuk 14 goals rookie year, 24 goals next, on pace for 32 this year.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Tkachuk has a better ppg average and is a much better two way player

Yup, scoring goals in the NHL is helluva lot more harder to do than getting assists.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 12:44 pmI can see why you would just focus on goalsSKYO wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 11:11 amBIG TIME LUCKED OUT................went from 6th overall to 2nd overall?? hella lucky, fortunato!Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 10:25 am Jets lucked out?

So Henrik and Joe Thornton were lesser players than say Dany Heatley and Johnathan Cheechoo.SKYO wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 12:48 pmYup, scoring goals in the NHL is helluva lot more harder to do than getting assists.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 12:44 pmI can see why you would just focus on goalsSKYO wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 11:11 amBIG TIME LUCKED OUT................went from 6th overall to 2nd overall?? hella lucky, fortunato!Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 10:25 am Jets lucked out?

Spoken like a tether ball star. Team sports clearly not your thing I guess

Re: The Rebuild...
All of sudden you care for assists? only when it fits your narrative I guess.

So Henrik was a bum? Gretzky his last years was a scrub?
Spoken like a guy with little to no experience in team sports

Re: The Rebuild...
Yeah because those guys are great comparisons to Tkachuk lol and his 35, 25, 36 assists.Blob Mckenzie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2019 1:29 pmSo Henrik was a bum? Gretzky his last years was a scrub?

I'm not hating on Matthew, but Laine is better than Tkachuk is my point.
MT in 4 playoff games was held scoreless.
While Laine had 12pts in 17 playoff games.
+ Laine is a smidgen younger than MT by 4 months.
I know you love yourself some Tkachuk but ya shouldn't try to compare him to Patrik Laine.

Re: The Rebuild...
Alone is a better goal scorer than Tkachuk.
Tkachuk is a better player.
Tkachuk is a better player.

Yes
I’d also take Dubois over Laine.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

This is a good debate. Good points presented from both sides.

Laine is 113th on the scoring leader board.
