Jordan Schroeder Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I have no doubt that Jordan Schroeder will make the team to start the season and I feel like he'll surprise a lot of people/doubters. I expect him to play the Cody Hodgson role of last season, before he got traded, and do just as well if not better. I feel that people tend to focus on his size as a deterent from him being a NHL player but forget that in his draft year, many people believed his skillset was that of a top 5 pick. This kid has some real dynamic skill that can translate to the NHL. He has been developed properly the last 2 years in the AHL and has learned to play a reliable 2 way game. Our team severely lacks playmakers outside of the Sedin twins and one of his strongest assets is his vision and passing abilities. I think you'll see him on the 2nd unit PP much like Hodgson and be effective. I think in terms of skillsets, he is on par with a guy like Cody Hodgson. But he is a much stronger skater in all facets. Tons of small players in the NHL have been successful. No reason why Schroeder can't if given a fair shake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I agree. He's a good young player. I think out of all our prospects he has best pure offensive skillset, Jensen comes close but Schreoder's offensive game is more dynamic and I think he has game breaking offensive ability. He just has to continue to develop. And realize his potential. No Reason to count this guy out, I'm not 100% sure if he is ready yet but I believe he might be and we will see. I'm super excited to see him come September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauer1337 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 not that im to judge considering I've barley seen him play, but if he was really top 5 quality wouldn't he have made the team by now? or be racking some serious points in the Ahl?? i seriously doubt this kid will be as good as hodgson.

Froggy Fresh Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I think your opinion on Schroeder might be slightly bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 He had a good year in the AHL, I'd maybe give him a few games in the NHL to see how he handles that. But we don't need him right now anyway and I think if you can't excel in the AHL, what chance do you have in a league offers the best players in the world?

Wheels22 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I bet he will surprise a lot of people..... Surprise them by spending the year in the AHL, like he should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champions of Nothing Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I think he is still a year behind Hodgson was at this point. I expect him to see come time with the big club this season, and to not be too out of place. However I don't expect him to have much of an impact until next season at the earliest.

Rounoush Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Hooray for positivity on these forums! I award you 5 stars and a thumbs up. I very much hope, as you do, that Schroeder will come in and wow people. I hope Kassian does really well at some point too if for nothing else than to shut all of the people up who are still crying about Hodgson leaving.
