Lots of scoring talent on that team, D looks really good. Only question, and similar to the flames, is goaltending. If Mason delivers they are a walk into the playoffs this year.

The Jets had the:

RW:
- 4th highest in league in Wheeler
- 7th highest in league in Laine
- decent depth wtih strafford
Defence:
- 6th best scoring Dman in league in Byfuglien
- another top50 dman in scoring in trouba
- other solid guys like myers, enstrom, Morrisey
Goalies:
- haven't the jets had some of the "highest rated goalie prospects" in the game for several years now?! at least that's what i keep reading online over the years.
The jets have had the critical pieces to be good for years, and have disappointed regardless. They take dumb penalties every year, don't play disciplined at all. They have a coach who hasn't been able to address that, who has yet to get out more than the sum of their parts, and a GM too gun shy to do anything about any of it.
Until they decide to actually do something about that, i feel they will continue to disappoint. But, let's give them the award for best prospects, best group of players under 23 or whatever, but i'd be skeptical to bet on the NHL roster figuring it out.....
