"TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button's Trade Assessment:
- the deal helps the Jets now and for the future
- Tyler Myers is an upgrade on Zach Bogosian. Drew Stafford is a serviceable third-liner to help the Jets make playoffs
- Brendan Lemieux is a lock to be a second line power forward and Joel Armia has a chance to be a scoring winger
- Kane has won the lottery – he's a fast, powerful goal scorer almost certain to be playing with generational centres McDavid or Eichel, both of whom are brilliant playmakers" |
If I recall Button was high on Lemeiux heading into the draft - which is fine - but I can't believe anyone thinks he's a "lock" to be a second line power forward.
I think Lemeiux stands a VERY good chance of paying in the NHL but that his ceiling is rather low.
