Its so nice to be able to go to a moose game and whatch kids you think might actually be good NHL players one day instead of just pluggers!

I have only seen one game with Hansen playing. He got limited ice time, so it is tough for me to judge. How has he played in his time up this year, and what kind of role is he playing?

I love all our prospects but I particularly like Hansen. That's me rooting for the 7th round underdog.

Yeah, I heard Colorado wanted Grabner too.

Simek, very questionable indeed.

Lol as if Colorado didn't already have enough offense(well im not 100 % sure at the time of draft), that'd have been scary Well haven't seen him play too much but apparently Simek has the "sickest" dangles on the Moose team, amongst other offensive skills as the poster above mentioned was commented on S-net. Every team needs a dangler and just the word should be getting most fans excited.

Simek or Shirokov?

Cause Shirokov was a much older player in that draft and had not put up stupendous numbers, coupled with the lack of a Russia/NA transfer agreement.

Simek probably because of playing in a non-traditional hockey country, that being Switzerland.
He started the year on the 3rd line with Lucia and Bostrom.

Last game they played he was Centering the 4th line.

3/4th lines play very limited minutes though.

That's one reason I have a tough time wanting top prospects playing in the NCAA if they are playing limited minutes. He'd be on a top 2 line in the CHL and would play way more situations. It's really tough to develop when you don't play.

[Dortmund]

People keep asking for a prospect stats update so here is a quick one

CHL players

Messier GP 18 G 7 A 3 Pts 10 + 5

Ellington GP 18 G 1 A 4 Pts 5 +6

Fuller GP 13 G 1 A 5 Pts 6 -4

Gendur GP 17 G 7 A 17 Pts 24

Bliznak GP 16 G 2 A 8 Pts 10 -2


NCAA

White GP 8 G 1 A 0 Pts 1 +1

Fredheim GP 6 G 0 A 2 Pts 2 +2

Butcher GP 8 G 0 A 3 Pts 3 even

Minnesota does have a good reputation as one of the better hockey programs in the NCAA (4-4 Start does not mirror that reputation so far)

The plan for White is to work his way to increased minutes over the course of his college career (Which I hope lasts no more than 2 seasons)

But, If he does not get an increase in icetime next year (I.E he is toiling on the 3rd or 4th line), he should definitly consider joining the Seatlle Thunderbirds of the WHL where he would surely get ice time in all situations and become more aclimatized to an NHL game load and where we could keep close tabs on him and even watch him in person. This is only if they don't increase his ice time in the next 12 months.

Remember, Seattle has to retain his rights, they could easily release them anytime. In which case he'd have to sign with another CHL team

I'm no way bashing the NCAA as it did wonders for Raymond and many other offensive players. Just as long as he doesn't get stuck in a 3rd-4th line roll for too long. We'll just have to wait and see I guess. Though seems like nobody on UM is doing any scoring

Would there be an advantage to releasing his rights though?

Is there a limit on the number of players you can own the rights to?

C-A Messier not in the lineup for Bathurst tonight...

[timw33]

Games tonight:

Bathurst (Messier not in the lineup)

Des Moines (Matson) started 30 mins ago.

Minnesota (White) Starting in about 10 minutes

Manitoba (Simek, Labrie, Schnieder, Grabner, Genoway, Heska, Raymond and co) Starts in 5 minutes.

Silvertips (Gendur and Ellington) starts at 6.

[timw33]

Sigh.

Ellington and Gendur not in the lineup again for Everett.

Must be injuries.

Good to hear Raymond and Mighty Whitey scoring goals tonight.
