CDC Poll

Who Will Dress on Opening Night?

Bourdon 32

Grabner 7

Edler 22

Raymond 7

Hansen 30


I really dont see how Edler or Bourdon could possibly play in our crowded top 6.

But if Hansen or Raymond or even Grabby impress in camp, they could take that last top 6 spot.

Messier centered the 3rd line in Baie-Comeau last season behind Picard-Hooper and Breault and still managed to score 27 goals.

I can easily see him score 30 goals playing with Clendenning and Massé and he is a speedster.

just a tidbit i found on hfboards from a Titan fan on his expectations of Messier this year

Charles-Antoine Messier est l'unique Drakkar répertorié

Par Sandro Célant

L'attaquant du Drakkar Charles-Antoine Messier figure au 83e rang des meilleurs espoirs nord-américains en vue du prochain repêchage de la Ligue nationale prévu à Colombus Ohio les 22 et 23 juin.

Auteur d'un bilan de 27 buts, 21 passes et 48 points en 69 parties durant le calendrier régulier, le joueur de centre de 18 ans a connu une bonne deuxième campagne avec le club local et représente un beau prospect.

Seul joueur du Drakkar répertorié selon la dernière liste officielle de la centrale de recrutement, le numéro 44 pourront fort bien trouvé preneur lors des prochaines Assises du mois de juin. Chez les Européens, Radek Vlasanek (propriété du Drakkar) figure au 66e échelon.

«Je suis bien content pour Charles-Antoine. Il a travaillé fort pour hausser son niveau de jeu cette saison et a bien réagi. Il devra toutefois améliorer sa constance sur la patinoire et aura l'opportunité de le faire l'an prochain», a commenté le pilote Éric Dubois.

Dossiers
Confiné à sa paperasse de bureau depuis quelques semaines, l'entraîneur en chef mijote plusieurs dossiers à l'approche du prochain repêchage du circuit Courteau présenté à Drummondville.

Le cas des joueurs de 20 ans demeure évidemment l'une des priorités. «Nous avons cinq candidats potentiels (Picard, Dorion, Paquet, Dupont, Jensen) et il s'agit maintenant de bien évaluer nos besoins et la valeur de tous ces vétérans».

Sans trop élaborer sur le sujet, Dubois a reconnu que plusieurs scénarios sont envisagés. «Au moment où l'on se parle, il y a beaucoup de «si» sur la table. Des équipes ont déjà appelé pour se renseigner sur nos joueurs et il faut prendre le temps de bien analyser les options», a répété le dirigeant, qui a démenti la dernière rumeur envoyant Joakim Jensen au Titan d'Acadie-Bathurst.

Novice AAA
Même si son équipe junior a terminé sa saison sur la patinoire, l'entraîneur continue de s'impliquer derrière le banc et supervise les destinées de son fils Pierre-Luc, actif avec les Albatros de Rivière-du-Loup du programme élite novice AAA.

Le pilote avait tenté l'expérience l'an dernier et revient pour une deuxième année. Sa jeune équipe a d'ailleurs remporté les honneurs de son premier tournoi, le week-end passé, dans la Vieille Capitale.

Actifs sur la glace du Peps de l'Université Laval, les Albatros ont décroché le titre au «Challenge Patrick Roy». Malheureusement pour Dubois, le pilote des Remparts n'était pas sur place pour effectuer la remise du trophée honorifique.

i dont wanna translate all but the important thing that the article says is he was 83rd ranked north american, that he needs to improve his consistancy and he will have the chance to do that next year when he'll be playing on a more scoring line.

S-Kings News:
Speaking of which, for an ECHL team. They have had a pretty good off-season for signings and should have a very solid season next year.

Salmon Kings add grit and size with re-signings

Jordan, left, and Derek Krestanovich will don Salmon Kings uniforms once again this season.



The Victoria Salmon Kings continued their off-season recruiting plan. They are retaining the core group, which got the club into the ECHL playoffs for the first time last season, and then banking on the parent Vancouver Canucks sending down enough good prospects to put the Victoria team over the top.

The Salmon Kings yesterday announced the re-signing of Jordan and Derek Krestanovich,. The gritty, hard-skating siblings from Surrey had an impact on the Salmon Kings last season after being acquired in a November trade from the Pensacola Ice Pilots.

"Jordan had several overseas opportunities but opted to stay with us and be part of our quest for the Kelly Cup. And that's a testament to where we're going as an organization," said Victoria GM Dan Belisle.

"They are solid and skilled forwards and stabilized our team by giving us another line of offence that we could count on. This is a vital signing for us."

The six-foot-one Jordan, 26, was the fifth-round draft pick of the Colorado Avalanche out of the junior Calgary Hitmen in 1999 and is entering his eight season as a pro, including 22 games in the NHL. The rangy forward's stops have included the Hershey Bears and Houston Aeros of the AHL and the Swedish and Italian Elite Leagues. He had 44 points in 60 regular-season and playoff games last season for Victoria.

Two-way forward Derek, 24, was the third-round draft pick of the Washington Capitals out of the junior Moose Jaw Warriors in 2002. Also six-foot-one, the defence-minded Derek paired effectively with brother Jordan last season and had 22 points in 58 regular-season and playoff games.

The announcement gives the Salmon Kings two sets of brothers for the upcoming season with Wes and Ash Goldie previously signed.

The Salmon Kings now have eight players - the Krestanovich brothers, leading scorer Wes Goldie, captain Kiel McLeod, forward Milan Gajic, goaltender Bryan Bridges and defencemen Phil Cole and Paul Ballantyne - under contract and returning from last season's roster that showed a reasonable amount of promise. The lone newcomer inked so far is former NCAA Michigan State Spartans forward Ash Goldie, a prize free-agent catch who has proven he can score at the pro level.

"We're re-assembling the nucleus from last season, with more signing announcements coming soon," said Belisle.

"The question mark now is the prospects we'll be sent to top it off. That's what will make the Canucks training camp [at Bear Mountain Arena next month] so interesting for us because we'll be able to then see the prospects potentially coming from Vancouver and Manitoba [the AHL's Moose]."

You're awesome, thanks a lot

Nice find! The Youtube link is a goal compilation (with a few hits), so there's nothing to see from Ellington there, but Gendur's all over the place. Nice set of hands, and he's even in good scoring position when his linemates aren't using him. For an over-ager I guess it's to be expected, but I like what I saw there.

It's nice to finally be excited about Canucks prospects.
