Edler's Mind Tricks Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Does Chicago have any chance in the playoffs without arguable their top defender (Tanev), top center (Reinprecht) and Bitz? And possibly more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Jensen skating with the team now. LWer. Should be interesting so see how he works out in the interim this season/playoffs. Cheers. TOML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 wouldn't mind it at all if MG drafted some quick, FEISTY smaller guys (e.g. the Brian Gionta's, Martin St. Louis', David Desharnais', Mike Cammalleri's, Nathan Gerbe's and Tyler Ennis') who have definitely have talent, speed to burn, and most important the aggression, desire and ability to drive hard to the net and score. It's guys like these who should go well with the big players who were drafted recently (given that they develop). In the end, it's mostly guys with skills AND grit/ toughness that can go far. EDIT: I'm not sure if there are those types of guys in this draft, the heart, talent, wheels and desire to compete at high levels and win. Who would be similar guys in this year's draft?

MoneypuckOverlord Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Dalton Thrower recently ranked 30th in CSS final rankings for North American players. Which means, overall he is probably ranked as an early 2nd round player if you add in the European players into the Draft, or Henrik Samuleson. Apparently compared to the skill set of Cory Perry. If not I will be happy with Dalton Thrower. No one else really impresses me. Bunch of hit or miss guys. Thrower looks like a safe bet even if he does not live up to expectation, his toughness and grit can still help him make the NHL as a bottom six guy. Galchenyuk is out the question unless he falls, which he wont. He probably be a top 3 pick if he wasn't injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Heyman Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Through some dark wizardry Filip Forsberg has dropped in the rankings to 7th or 8th overall. Tampa is picking one after that. If we could get Forsberg with Tampas pick then that would just be insane. Having Filip play with the Sedins and Kesler to learn from them would cause his development to explode. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madness Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Reinhart would be awesome if we would get Tampa's pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millerdraft Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Jensen-Schneider-Mancari was on the ice for a goal against. Was this a case of a line change gone awry, is Jensen on a top-six line with Mancari, or has Mancari been demoted to the 4th line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikecanucks Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Wondering how you know Thrower is 30th ranked by CSB. They don't announce their list until Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyHobo73 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I think we need a high-end center prospect... I'm not too familiar with the players available by the time we select, but a high-end prospect at the center position is much needed for our future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Would love some more gritty type players and this draft is full of them Colton Sissons RW Kelowna Rockets and Dalton Thrower D Saskatoon are up for my approval. Both very physical, play both ends of the ice, both display quality leadership skills and are character type players that you want on ur team. Plus bonus both are from North Vancouver.

NuxFan09 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 The Wolves beat the Oklahoma City Barons 3-0 on Saturday night. Bill Sweatt scored 2 goals, Darren Haydar the other. Eddie Lack was in net and made 29 saves for the shutout. As mentioned, Nicklas Jensen skated in this game for the Wolves. He had no points and was even on the night.

Ghostsof1915 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Just an update. TSN has central scouting's final numbers. http://www.tsn.ca/dr...ature/?id=62970 Sissons' has jumped to #14. Thrower is #26th. Scott Laughton #28th Henrik Samuelsson is #75th (Meaning 2nd round possibly?) There seems to be either centres or US d-men around the 30th spot. Sleeper late round pick: Justin Hamonic, (D) Tri Cities, Had low point totals but good size and seems defensively responsible. Good development choice long term. 140th or late 3rd round possibly 4th or 5th. Am I correct that the Canucks have as picks? 1st Round 2nd Round 5th Round 6th Round 7th Round I'm liking what I see in Henrik Samuelsson. He goes to the dirty areas to score. Seems like he's got his Dad's fiestiness and worse yet his dirty habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbro Baggins Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I really want the Canucks to get Matia Marcantuoni in the second round. He was originally slated in the top 10, but fell due to injuries. He has unreal speed, drives the net hard and is good at both ends of the ice. Bystrom/Thrower in the 1st Marcantuoni in the 2nd Ebert in the 3rd Those are my picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panjodh Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Who would I like to see the Canucks draft? Mathew Dumba. He can carry the puck from end to end in a big time hurry. He would add to the speed and possesion game the Canucks like to play. He is a gamer. http://www.whl.ca/vi...3c77bb1c733dbe7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Does anyone know what the hell happened to Ryan Parent again...this guy like disappeared right off the face of the earth all i remember was in december he was named to team Canada's spengler cup roster but since than i haven't heard a word of him in Chicago...did he even report back or is he just hurt again?

avelanch Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 parent wasn't playing good, and is significantly down the depth chart. i don't know if he was injured or not, but he wouldn't be playing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I think I remember hearing something about an injury, but that may not still be a factor in his playing time. It was worth a shot since he was a free player in return for another we didn't want, but it would have been nice to see him develop into at least a reliable 3rd pairing guy.
