  1. Pretty sure Vintage said it would reveal itself on October 1st.

      that's so not cool then, if you make a promise, keep a promise :lol:

  2. 1 more I forgot to mention I don't know how I left him off my list above but........ Anton Silayev. LHD this guy is huge 6'7 207lbs. Has come out of no where and is absolutely crushing the KHL with 6 points in his first 6 games wtf no really who is this kid? he's done relatively little in previous years to garner any attention then all of a sudden goes PPG in his first 6 KHL games. He only needs 14more in his next 24 games this season to beat Michkov. Hes already blown away the next highest scoring u18 D ever in the KHL by 4 points.
  3. I think the nux will be going for it this year. This is now the 3rd year for this mgmt group who promised Aqua another re tool on the fly. I think it's pretty likely that they trade our 1st this year. In the event that we do keep our first the Canucks IMO need to add size with the IQ and hands to play with skilled players. FWDS Simon Zether RHC 6'3 Former team mate of Willander. He's got NHL 2/3C written all over him. He will get SHL time this year as he's got good details to his game and 2 way ability. He's also just way too good for the J20 put up a hatty in his first game this season and currently has 4g 5a in 5 games. He's got an October b day which will make him one of the older kids in this draft class but also means as an incredibly young kid in the J20 Nat last season he went PPG and put up 6g in 6 playoff games. What I like most is he pretty much just has his way down low at this level. Emil Hemming 6'2 RW was a standout at Hilinka his shot is wicked and can score from everywhere. Looks like a very worth while project. Michael Hage 6'1 RHC He's got the total package we need in a 2 way C. He missed most of last season due to injury I think his ranking will rise into the top 15 but he's certainly one to watch. Works his butt off at both ends and has enough skill to punish teams stars when they get too cute with the puck. Sacha Boisvert 6'2 LHC Skates quite well has NHL size and is slick with the puck on his stick. Ill be paying attention to him. Matvei Babenko 6'3 RW Not sure where to rank him yet. He had a pretty good year last year in the MHL and has been promoted to the KHL he might be worth keeping tabs on. The D's Cole Hutson listed 5'8 -5'10 143-160lb LHD IMO he's a top 10 pick with top 5 skill. He's gonna drop due to his small stature how far I don't know but it better not be past us. This kid is fire and doesn't shy away when the going gets rough. He's a "difference maker". Adam Jiricek 6'1 RHD no way he makes it to us but a lot of rankings have him in the bottom half of the class right now so maybe there's a chance? on to the more realistic targets. Charlie Elick 6'3 RHD He's ticking all the boxes I am looking for in a shut down D that can hang with skilled players and log huge minutes. John Whipple 6'1 LHD Puck hound. He battles all over the ice if you're going to get by him you're going to have to earn it. He's got a decent shot from the point too. My preliminary "late round" watch list. Daniil Ustinkov 6'0 LHD playing in the Swiss NL and even laced up in 3 playoff contests last year for the Lions this kid is a late August birthday the Lions coaching staff must reallllly like this kid. Plus wicked name. Adam Jecho 6'5 RW skates pretty well and claps bombs this kid is an absolute beast. We will see if the move to the WHL hurts or helps his draft stock sometimes these kids struggle adjusting to NA. If his stock drops we should snap him up. Colton Roberts 6'4 RHD those of you are Giants fans will be familiar he's got some nasty and is excellent in transition. He is tidy with the puck in his own end. Arseni Marchenko 6'6 monster LHD. It will be interesting to watch how the former captain of the Belarussian u17 squad adjusts to the USHL. I can't say I've ever seen him play but his stats lead me to believe he is going to be worth checking up on.
  4. I don't think his work ethic was poor. He hit the gym hard and worked in the offseason. He just wanted to play loosey goosey and gave our coaches fits. he wasn't lazy though.
  5. This ^ Brock is the wild card if he can get that shot back that he broke into the league with it will change everything. CoHoesque would be great heck I'd settle for Vanekesque.
  6. Honestly more so than anything else the guy who can make the biggest impact on the success or failure of our PP this year is Brock. If he can turn our PP2 into a weapon that needs to be respected we will feast on the PP. The reason our PP sucks is because our PP2 sucks. As long as the opposition can kill off the first minute their pretty much home free.
  7. I like this if we couldn't get Cole Smith, Trenin would be a great target. I think they win this trade but we get the capspace we need and a more balanced roster. thumbs up from me.
  8. Ballsy move by the Bolts. Whats the over under he injures a player or 2 in training camp and it solves their cap problems.
  9. He was considering retirement last year but played on and had a pretty decent go. https://moneypuck.com/player.htm?p=8473544
  10. So Mik's new MGMT's version of Sutter?
