Good job by the Moose today!!

On another prospect note, Ellington has an assist tonight.

[Rinslet]

Canucks and Baby canucks having a good night again.

Glad to see Raymond and Grabby scoring goals and teh Schneids with the win.

[timw33]

Dan Gendur not in the lineup again.

Bumped from top line?

[timw33]

Ellington with an assist tonight.

[L Bourdon]

Is Edler still considered a prospect?

Can he even get better in the AHL now?

Probably can fine tune his offensive game down in the AHL but right now he is getting #1 PP time.

Stamkos has the whole package, basically he can skate. Watching Tavares in the Russia vs Canada series he was quite slow out there. It'll be the organizational needs. Do you need a playmaker/goal scorer then you'd take Stamkos and if you need pure goal scoring talent then you'd take Tavares.

I think Tavares' skating is something that can and will improve. Anyone else remember the Sedin's when they first joined the NHL? They were giving Dave Anderchyuk a run for the "Best Impersonation of Molasses". But as we can see now, they are waaay faster then they used to be. (especially acceleration) Obviously they are not the fastest players by any means, but it has been a huge improvement.

Given the choice between Stamkos and Tavares, I'd still pick the latter. Obviously it is very early and anything can happen though. I think Tavares will get a huge amount of his points from the PP, where speed won't be as big a factor.

I know junior points are junior points, but 53 points in 23 games and having just turned 17 is amazing.

Nothing for Matson in a 5-2 loss.

Ellington In, Gendur Out.

Is Bliznak on the 1st line? because he is on pace to more then double his point total from last year

[Champions of Nothing]

Question about the development of our D prospects. Obviously I can see how Edler and Bourdon are making out (nicely!), but what about the rest? Rahimi? Ellington? McIver?

Thanks for any info.

Playing w/Repik and Machachek will do that to you.

Ellington is having a pretty good year so far, is on pace to surpass his offensive totals from last year. Believe he is playing top pairing minutes for Everett, +/- is nicely above even. Potential, probably #4 Shutdown dman.

Rahimi needs to work on his skating and positioning, his physical play is great. Potential: 5/6 Dman.

McIver...I could care less about. Potential: Spare Dman.

So are those the only two we have that have the potential to be solid NHLers? Is there anyone else in the farm?

Coulombe?


lol.

Coloumbe is toiling in the ECHL where he belongs, you know how little I like him.

Heshka could be a long shot too.

I know so little about Fredheim, no one to get terrible excited over though.

[timw33]

You guys should check out the Hockey Future archives, some really interesting stuff from the 99-04 drafts.

I'll recap when its not 3:45AM.

I'm not so sure that his skating is realy that bad. I whatched him play live at the MTS center here in winnipeg and it realy didn't seem like his skating was as much of an issue as everyone made it out to be. Granted he was no Pavel Bure but he didn't look that much slower than average.

Well thats re-assuring then.

But I'm pretty sure it was back-skating that was the biggest issue.
