smokes Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I think Schroeder has the potential to be a poor mans version of a Hodgson but then again as long as he in not the next Patrick White or Jason Herter...I'm happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Horvat Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I really hope JS has a good training camp this year....I was expecting him to get a chance to slot in as Kesler's replacement until Kes get back from injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meyer_Buttreeks Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 By "Parise potential" do you mean become 70 point guy that gets paid like a 100 point guy? Parise is good but he's not a stud. He is the beneficiary of a weak free agent pool and a desperate market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybone Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I think we need to give Jordan a chance playing in the NHL before we write the guy off or anoint him Hes short but fast and strong with a great play-making ability. My only concern is his mental focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monteeun Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 He has the skills and talent to make it. Its about whether he wants to or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum P I Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Schroeder has as much of a chance of becoming a hobbit as he does of becoming a Zach Parise.........So there is a good chance is what I am saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jägermeister Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Wrong. You've already been refuted by another poster in the Prospects forum who watched him regularly this past season but you keep spewing this crap that he can't be an effective 2-way guy.

The Lock Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 What's the point in believing in a prospect pool if you're going to just write over guys off? He's not Patrick White. He was still rated 5th in the North American rankings the year he was drafted. The organization is simply not rushing him. It's a good thing. People seem to think that because a player doesn't join the NHL after 3 years they are a bust, when it simply means they aren't being rushed. These same people seem to think they know more than our scouts, and our coaches, and Gillis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canvoucer Vanuck Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I'm wrong because 1 other person who has watched him play disagrees with me? Thats great logic. How is a 5'9, 180lb player going to effectively shut-down players like Nash, Perry, and Kovalchuck? Because that is what you want from your two-way players is it not? You want them to be able to shut down the other teams big guns. Schroeder would not be able to do that. He might have improved his defensive skills in the AHL (a league where the stars are vastly inferior to the stars of the NHL), and it might make him a bit more effective if he is to make the NHL, but he is not going to be a legitimate 2 way player. If he is going to be a contributor for us, he would have to be on a scoring line, but right now he doesn't have the offensive skill for that.

shadowscyne Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Maybe hes one of those players that need to play with NHL talent to succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucksovereverything Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 i think he does. Speed and skill. Ability to put the puck in the net. Leadership wise, maybe a future assistant or perhaps one day a captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
