Phamda Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 ^^^^ Depends on how many minutes Torts will give Frankie. Torts is known to ride his top guys and rarely use his bottom pairing. So basically, it's top 4 or bust for Frankie because if he's on the bottom pairing, he's not seeing enough ice, and at this point in his career, he needs to be playing big minutes to develop his game. Although I trust Torts to teach Corrado well, if he isn't going to be in the top 4, he should be in the AHL. Well to be fair, Rangers have had a terrible bottom 2 last few years while their top 4 have been amazing. Last year they had a pairing of woywitka and eminger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dasein Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Well to be fair, Rangers have had a terrible bottom 2 last few years while their top 4 have been amazing. Last year they had a pairing of woywitka and eminger True. I guess we will have to wait and see how Torts distributes his minutes with a deeper blue line. Also he will have to factor in the Canucks travelling which, unlike in NY, will also fatigue the players - making it harder on the top pairing if he rides them night in and night out. Even still, I think starting out the year in Utica getting logging top minutes and facing top competition will do wonders for his development. I would like to see Corrado spend about half a year down there and get a call up to play 3rd pairing down the stretch and into the playoffs.

Lancaster Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Is it just me or does Corrado plays very similar to Dan Hamhuis? Not saying he's gonna be as good, but I'm starting to see some resemblance in their style of play (and they're about the same size too). Active stick work, staying in good position instead of chasing, "unexpected" hard shot.... the Canucks certainly have themselves a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very similar, not a physical force out there but solid defensively not making alot of mistakes with offensive upside. Good two way defender we have. Playing well against SJ, probably our best defensemen, him or Tommernes. Even one of the best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wshdrvvn Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 agree with the hamhuis comparisons. obviously we wont know for a long time if they truly compare, but playstyle is very similar, bring a lot of the same things to the table.

elvis15 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Here's Corrado's write up from the Hockey Prospectus review of our prospect pool: 3. Frankie Corrado, Defense 2011-12 Ranking: 3rd Date of birth: 03/26/1993 Age: 20 Height: 6'1'' Weight: 191 Shoots: Right Statistics: 69 GP, 7 G, 45 P (Sudbury/Kitchener, OHL) Acquired: Fifth round, 150th overall in 2011 by Vancouver Year in Review: Corrado continued to progress, as he was a good two-way defenseman in his last OHL season. He was a final cut from Canada's World Junior team. The Good: Corrado is a really good skater. He is mobile and agile in every direction, and he has the first step to pinch or activate from the back end. He can also rush the puck well. He thinks the game at a high-end level, as he rarely makes mistakes, and he does not panic with the puck. Corrado makes a lot of stops, is great with his gap control, and makes a good outlet. The Bad: Corrado's pure offensive upside is his question mark. While he has progressed in that area, he remains just about average. He also could get gain more strength. Projection: He could be an good second pairing defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronic.Canuck Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 2 Goals, 1 assist, -2 so far in 7 games played in Utica for Frankie. He scored a goal last night in a 5-4 loss to Abbotsford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 He's been getting lots of ice time which is great, he gets to experience playing in all situations. It'd be nice if we had a proven veteran to help mentor our young guys on defense, instead of signing Biega and Mullen. If only Baumgartner could come off the bench and play again.

A Skylit Drive Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Time to bump this thread.. How's Frankie looking? He's got the November stash going. Playing wise he's good can't wait to see him in a nucks uniform again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UticaHockey Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Corrado is currently playing with NHL vet Kent Huskins who is under a PTO with the Comets. They both look very steady and are by far the best defensive pairing on the Comets. Frankie was teamed up with Sauve for a while which was dragging his game down too.

Boudrias Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 HI. Please rank the players in according who you think is the best Grenier Jensen Corrado. Thanks. Didn't you hear? The CDC masters are trading Edler and calling Corrado up to Vancouver! 20 odd games in Utica should be sufficient prep for the NHL, no? I love the fact that Corrado is playing with a NHL vet in Huskins. I hope they sign him and he mentors Corrado for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Bieksa paired with Huskins back in Manitoba? Anyways, nice to see Corrado playing with a vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
