im whatching spengler cup and im thinking with koltsov's speed and puck skills i wonder if canucks mangment ever asked him to move to wing
he has trremendous speed. seems if he was ever gonna play in the nhl it would be as a forward

It doesnt work that way.

It is such a rare occurance for a Dman to be converted to a forward this late in his career. Scott Walker and Steve Staios are the only two that come to mind, with Brian Boyle doing the opposite.

tied for 11th in rookie scoring in the AHL, not bad for a wild card pick

Brent Burns did it with the Wild. though he started as a forward, and switched to defense.

My point is more that you can't just take any Dman and convert them into a forward like its NHL07 and you have to dress a dman as a forward and he scores 50 goals.

And alot of those Rookies are in their mid-late 20's

Grabby is prolly around 5th or 6th among pure rookies

The weird thing is that Forward is so much easier to play than D though.

I actually have been playing D lately and damn its not easy when for the longest time the only thought that went through your head was to score.

The problem with converting players, is, if theyve been playing one way for 10-20 years, you CANNOT change their muscle memory and thought process

Yup, out with a concussion.... out another week.

Patrick Coloumbe is also injured right now. Appearently it also isn't a very serious injury.

Don't forget Wade Brookbank. His career certainly skyrocketed after he was converted to a defenseman.

So what happens when this thread finally gets updated?

Does it stay up until just before the draft again, and not come back for another 6 months? If it was going to take this long, why take down the old scouting report in the first place?

Halfway through this season, and it's still "under construction".

unrelated to war of words but when does Minny start playing again. It'd be nice for White to get a couple of games in before the troops return from Czech

Thanks to mr7 for the sig
