don't grade plz
Jordan Mack after being drafted to the Buffalo Stampede 19th overall. The Buffalo Stampede are so proud to select with the 19th Overall Pick... Jordan Mack!!! Jordan Mack was on top of the world. Former 1st overall pick Randy Randlemen said this to the media hours before the draft. "If Mack falls anywhere other then the 1st round, he's a steal!" Jordan Mack not only accepted the praise with great attitude but he did it with a praise back. Jordan Mack happens to be a center for the Montreal Impact. He played third line time and some special team time. Jordan Mack was a gem in some eyes. Buffalo managed to seize that and take him. After a devastating loss to the Kelowna Knights in the Four Star Cup finals Mack reflected on it, then moved on. Jordan Mack with great pride shook all the Knights hands before letting loose tears. Jordan Mack was devastated as it's been seen. Having become so close to winning a cup in his first year and then losing. We caught up with Jordan Mack at the Buffalo Stampede's training facility to ask him some questions. Jordan Mack said this: "It sucks I went 19th, but i'm glad I actually got drafted. I went to the draft on Wednesday night with an open mind. I would go with any team." Jordan Mack played third line as we have mentioned for the Montreal Impact and rallied 9 goals and 11 assist for 20 points in Season 25. He was promised a top 6 role for the Impact so it looks like the scoring will continue. Jordan Mack is expected to play alongside Michael Burch as the two have practiced together multiple times in scrimmages and have done nothing but impress. Jordan Mack signing his Entry Level Contract Thursday night in Buffalo. After a great impression on General Manager Brandon, Jordan Mack inked his first contract in the SHL. With these incomes; S26: 2.5 Million S27: 3 Million S28: 3 Million A basic contract for a second rounder. Jordan Mack expects to head to the SMJHL Draft across the country and then fly back to Montreal with the draftees and General Managers. Jordan Mack showing an example of leadership there. MORE TO COME Questions; Winter is Coming Falling out of the first round might have hurt last night, but it can be a great incentive to prove every team wrong. How are you approaching the situation?: I'll take it day by day. I think me going inactive for a bit due to computer issues sucks but i'm glad Buffalo snagged me anyway. I will just work twice as hard to prove them then wrong and keep doing what i'm doing. Big things expected. What about Buffalo excites you the most?: We have a decently active locker room and I think that will grow as time goes on. I am excited to see an expansion team grow every week and become a greater threat. It's more exciting then being on a cup contender team where everything is handed to you. Buffalo will sure as hell work their asses off to get to the Challenge Cup and win! Where do you see yourself three or four seasons down the line?: I believe top 6 time alongside Robb Wind is a possiblity which is awesome. I predict a Four Star cup in S30 hopefully, a thriving franchise and an active team at that. I see between 850-1000 TPE. JPL Thoughts on Buffalo as a team?: Maybe a tad work on activity. We do need some more players and I think in 4 seasons down the road we'll be a big contender for the Challenge Cup! Are you wanting to get sent down this season?: My decision is to stay down. I think 265 TPE is way too low to play in the SHL. My numbers would decline and I would be dead weight to the team. Maybe next year when I hit 400-500 TPE but as of right now, no. I also have one more thing to do with Montreal in S26; Four Star Cup. What do you plan to impress on: My activity and leadership. I've shown it in the Impact locker room and hopefully it enters the Stampede's locker room on the same note. I want to show how good my player can be also. Dangles13 Will you be playing for Buffalo this season?: As i've stated in a previous question; No, I have some more things to do in Montreal and my TPE is too low. What kind of player did Buffalo draft?: A 200 foot player. A guy who transitions defense into offense. A player that never stops growing. How encouraging were your new teammates and who were they?: WiC and JPL gave me great welcomes for teammates and 701 is making me a signature (I think and hope). Brandon is really cool and is helpful also, that's it. :lol: hexx55 Were there any draft picks that surprised you?: I was suprised Mikelis Grundmanis dropped past at least five......He is an active and guy and has a load of heart. What do you think of the recent that trade that brings Sven Karlsson and Mattias Holmberg to Montreal?: We already had Mattias Holmberg and traded him to help us on a run and we got him back for nothing along with another guy (Sven Karlsson) who is a great kid and can really play the game. This helps our depth everywhere on our way to the Four Star Cup. Do you think there will be any bad feeling since you eliminated Detroit first round in the S25 SMJHL playoffs?: I would honestly hope not. I mean sure we crushed Holmberg and Karlsson's dream but at least they're on a winning team (no offense to Detroit #rebuild) now. I don't think there would be hard feelings on the playoff 1st round exit at the hands of us. Looking forward, do you expect to win any major awards?: Maybe some Montreal awards in S26 but as for like SMJHL in a whole I think I have a legit chance to win those big awards if I play the way I think I can play. AC/DC or Iron Maiden?: AC/DC. When I play hockey with my boys we always have music blaring of AC/DC to pump us up before games. :Mac: How are you liking your new team?: They're a great group of guys and welcomed me with open arms. I like how much enthusiasm they have for an expansion team also and how they approach situations. How does it feel finally getting to have no cap on your TPE?: Me no understand. If your saying the SMJHL cap then I'm hanging back for a year so I do have a cap. Who would you compare your player to in the NHL?: I have resembled my style of play in my player as a Steven Stamkos only with a little bit of flair. I have the puck control and point getting of him but I have a more gritty side to Jordan Mack. If you didn't end up where you are, where do you think you might have?: I was hoping New England or Hamilton. But I know if I passed 21 I would have stopped my dropping spree at 22 and Toronto would have took me. Bacon or Steak?: I like both but if I had to choose it would most likely be steak. SwegKingu What aspects of your game are you looking to improve the most during the next season?: My offense and defense. My game needs an all around tune up and that's good. I think focus on defense and that will transition into offense later down the road. Got any players on Buffalo you like/liked before the draft?: I liked Robb Wind. Thomaz brothers were cool too to see around the site also. I pretty much like everyone on the Buffalo roster. How much is the fish?: (don't know how you swedes do it but) I'm outraged at the price! It's 30$ for a full sized tuna. A TUNAAAA!!!!! Like holy hell Superstore put down the prices. Just need to keep my cool. :lol:
