  1. Would be cool to see him step right into the lineup but I'd think he'd need some time in the AHL to get used to the north american style game before he's ready for that.I'd expect him to challenge for a roster spot the following year after a full season in Chicago but could be called up this season if we get hammered with injuries or have a bad scoring slump.
  2. Lots of great info on here,thanks to all that have contributed something positive to the discussion.I'm still excited that we landed JS at last years draft and based on how quickly he turned it around last season when he got good players around him,I think he's going to be a great NHL player. Probably his ideal place in the lineup would be on the second line with Kesler and Raymond as all 3 have great speed,good offensive ability,and play a smart game so they'd be a two way threat.Hopefully they find chemistry as I think that would make a great line and the fact that JS is also a centre could give the line two different looks depending if him or Kesler lines up as the centre.It would also make it tougher for the other teams coaches and players to come up with a game plan to shut them down if they did that plus it's always good to have another player on the ice who can take draws if the other one gets waved out of the circle. If Burrows is'nt ready to go at the start of the season,I'm picking JS to be in the lineup on opening night and I'm hoping he sticks with the second line and Burrows and Samuelsson can alternate beetween the 1st and 3rd lines,depending on who's clicking with the Sedins.
  3. I think Schroeder will be a great NHL player.He looked really good with the Moose right from the get go and put up nice numbers after a mediocre season playing with plugs on a lousy team in Minny. He did especially well on a line with Desbien who's a banger and crasher with size and some offensive skill,so I think with the right kind of linemates,he could be point per game player for us down the road.
  4. Good stuff...now hopefully he comes to NA to play and get some real ice time.Last year seemed like kind of a write off for his development except for the WJC and growing a couple more inches.
  5. That's disappointing,I had hopes that he could be a contributor but the playoff intensity is probably too much for him which is'nt a good sign in terms of making it to the next level. However,Schroeders looks like he's more than holding his own out there and should definitely be given a good look at camp next year.
  6. that would be stellar to see him over here next year getting real minutes and learning the North American game.Could be a very exciting Moose team with him,Schroeder,Shirokov,Hodgson(?),and Oberg.Hopefully Craig Heisinger can bring some more good top six forwards into the mix and make them an offensive threat again.
  7. Yes he did.Definitely making a good impression on his new teammates and Canucks management. It seems like he's getting lots of ice time out there and making things happen.
  8. Schroeder looking like a real threat on the powerplay...
  9. if only they would change the rules to make the nets bigger...we'd have a 50 goal man on our hands...
  10. Schroeder had success in University and in the WJC playing with big wingers (Stoa and Barribell in Minny,JVR and Colin Wilson on Team USA).Maybe we can use another early round pick to nab someone in that mold if there's one available.Alex Chaisson #46 on TSN ranking or another Minnesota native,Ben Hanowski,could be had with a third rounder.
