Lawless article in today's FP discussing Kosmachuk. Lawless thinks he'll start the season in St.Johns. I guess that's usually the way it goes but I see him starting the 2014/15 season with the Jets after what I anticipate will be an impressive training camp. LONDON, Ont. -- Scott Kosmachuk's junior hockey career ended in rage, tears and splinters.
The 20-year-old winger watched the seconds tick down on his Guelph Storm in a 6-3 loss to the Edmonton Oil Kings at the Memorial Cup final and his anger got the best of him as he smashed his stick into toothpicks.
Kosmachuk was so overwhelmed, he chose to not meet the media after the game. That's a lesson he'll need to learn as a pro, to face the music no matter the results. But maturing is all part of the process he's about to begin as a prospect with the Winnipeg Jets.
"Scott earned a 100-point season and he's continued to get better as a player," said Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff, at Sunday's game with a good portion of his scouting staff. "He's proven to be a consistent scorer and he plays with a chip on his shoulder. He's progressing well."

I like the "edge" part of his game to compliment his obvious talent as a scorer... Jets need more of that.

I've been thinking he'd start with the Jets this season as well barring injury.
He didn't look out of place last year, and by everything I've read he's had a great season.

I am looking forward to training camp next fall to see who showed up in shape.
