Jerome Samson TTM Success

c/o: St. John's Ice Caps

Jerome is having a great season with the Ice Caps so far.  He has 26 points in 35 games.  I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets call him up at some point.  He went undrafted after his junior hockey was finished, but managed to get on with the Albany River Rats of the AHL.  He has also played 46 games with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Adam is in his first full season as a pro with the Jets' farm affiliate.  He has 13 points so far this season.  He played his junior hockey with the Swift Current Broncos and was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2011 draft.

Raphael Diaz TTM Success

Mailed:  9/22/2013
Received:  1/14/2014
Days:  114
c/o: Montreal Canadiens

Raphael was just named to the Swiss national team for the 2014 Olympics.  He is a good defenceman with above average offensive skills on a team that is very loaded with defence right now.  He has been a healthy scratch a few times lately due to Doug Murray and Alexei Emelin coming back from injury.  I could see the Habs moving one or two of their surplus d-men by the time the deadline comes around.  They need some scoring and size up front.

Slater Koekkoek TTM Success

c/o: Windsor Spitfires

Slater is a 1st round pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning.  He has 25 points in 32 games so far this year for the Spitfires in the OHL.  Those are some great numbers for a defenceman on a sub par team in the OHL.  He should have a spot in Tampa in the next couple of seasons.

Kris Russell TTM Success

Mailed:  11/20/2013

c/o: Calgary Flames

Kris is enjoying a career year this season with the Flames.  He has 13 points in 26 games so far.  He has always been a defence first player, and even on bad Blue Jackets' teams, he had a plus rating.  He has also represented Canada at 2 World Championships, getting 7 points in 11 games.  If Team Canada were looking for someone with great defensive sense, they would probably have a harder look at him for the Olympic team.  However, we seem to be pretty deep on D-men this year, so I doubt that he will get a look.  

Troy Bourke TTM Success

c/o: Prince George Cougars

Troy was a 3rd round pick of the Colorado Avalanche in the 2012 draft.  He is enjoying a good final season of Jr. hockey with 29 points in 29 games so far for the Cougars.

Luca Ciampini TTM Success

Mailed:  11/07/2013
Received:  11/25/2013
Days:  18
c/o: Halifax Mooseheads

Luca was part of the Memorial cup winning Halifax Mooseheads last season.  He had 71 regular season points for them, but he has went undrafted as far as the NHL is concerned.  He will probably be able to get on with an AHL or ECHL team after this season in the QMJHL is done.  He is having a bit of an off year with only 17 points in 29 games so far.
