[Jets GM]

Just in time for the deadline!

#1 Alexis Binner (LD)
5th round, 124 overall (2017)
Projected: NHL 3rd Pairing D

Code: Select all

Season   Team                        Lge    GP    G    A  Pts  PIM +/-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2016-17  CSKA Moscow                 RUS    59   25   16   41   71  33
2017-18  CSKA Moscow                 RUS    58    7   13   20   55  34
2018-19  Tampa Bay Lightning         NHL     1    0    0    0    2  -1
2018-19  Syracuse Crunch             AHL    42    3    4    7   30  -71

He boosted right one year after his draft year and is now playing in the AHL. He will have limited shooting and passing. Good stickhandling. Great checking and hitting but limited positioning. He will be effective in the NHL if paired with a good puck moving D in a limited role.

#2 Samuel Laberge (RW)
5th round, 147 overall (2015)
Projected: 4th Liner

Code: Select all

Season   Team                        Lge    GP    G    A  Pts  PIM +/-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2014-15  Rimouski Océanic            QMJHL  55   30   24   54   24  37
2015-16  Rimouski Oceanic            QMJHL  71   56   21   77   76  32
2016-17  Rimouski Oceanic            QMJHL  70   47   23   70   74  36
2017-18  Syracuse Crunch             AHL    62   12   12   24   24  -26
2018-19  Syracuse Crunch             AHL    44    3    3    6   30  -72

Laberge is a potential CON booster who still could be a NHL player without a boost. A decent shot and hands, with good checking and hitting. Limited passing and positioning. A perfect Dump & Chase or Hit & Grind bottom six winger. Has been a long-term development project, but is almost NHL ready in his 2nd year of his ELC.

#3 Kasper Björkqvist (LW)
5th round, 129 overall (2016)
Projected: 4th Liner

Code: Select all

Season   Team                        Lge    GP    G    A  Pts  PIM +/-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2015-16  Blues Espoo                 FIN    79   39   54   93   35  32
2016-17  Blues Espoo                 FIN    56   37   30   67    9  32
2017-18  Blues Espoo                 FIN    58   38   29   67   31  35
2018-19  Blues Espoo                 FIN    30   35   29   64    4  38

Acquired in a salary dump transaction with St. Louis. Could have a good enough shot and stickhandling to be part of a secondary scoring unit. Needs to have the right amount of playing time if he is to come over and play in North America.

#4 Nando Eggenberger (LW)
3rd round, 64 overall (2018)
Projected: 4th Liner

Code: Select all

Season   Team                        Lge    GP    G    A  Pts  PIM +/-
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2018-19  Tappara Tampere             FIN    31   25   10   35   38  33

Recently acquired from Ottawa in the trade for Reid Duke. Nando will be an good checking, positioning and hitting. He could play on a PK 2nd unit in the NHL. He does not have much offensive upside.

#5 Evan Sarthou (G)
5th round, 147 overall (2016)
Projected: NHL Backup

2018-19  Augsburger Panther          GER    14   840   28   0  2   2.00  5   7   2   320   .920

Another CON booster. If he were to boost in a trade to the mid 60's, he could be an good backup in the NHL. Since he wouldn't be starting in Syracuse, he has gone over to Germany and get more starts.

Another CON booster. If he were to boost in a trade to the mid 60's, he could be an good backup in the NHL. Since he wouldn't be starting in Syracuse, he has gone over to Germany and get more starts.

He already boosted to high 60s.
