Prospect Pulse: John Negrin
A look at the player the Jets got for the Akim Aliu trade.
Prospect Pulse: Top Performers
This past weekend’s Top 3 Jets prospects come from the AHL’s IceCaps and the OHL Barrie Colts.
Prospect Pulse: Michael Forney
In the realm of dark horse prospect’s, Michael Forney may be one of those guys who you should have seen coming, but didn’t. A 2006 3rd rounder (80th overall) by the Thrashers, Forney is a product of the Thief River Falls, MN high school hockey program. A very promising high school player, Forney attempted to [...]
Prospect Pulse: Review of Jets Game One of the Young Stars Rookie Tournament
I think I speak for all the Illegal Curve staff when I say it was certainly a thrill to see the Jets (even the rookies) back on the ice last night. Despite the fact that they were wearing practice sweaters with those awful high numbers, it was a treat to watch. The game itself wasn’t [...]

Leveille is yet another name to add to that list, being the first player drafted in the first round out of a Junior B program. [...]
