DeNiro Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I do hope that JS gets a shot though. There are tons of athletes that have been disregarded based on size but then go on to prove that it isn't a factor. Doug Flutie (football), Spud Webb (Bball), Muggsy Bogues(Bball), Theo Fluery. Even St. Louis went undrafted because of his size and went on to prove everyone wrong. Even as recently as Brad Marchant who is about the same height is doing well (granted he's a big douche).

BananaMash Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Ebbett is NOT that terrible of a player. He averages about 30 points a season if he was able to stick around. Due to his size and a couple other things, he'll never be a regular NHL'er, but more of a journeyman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonberries Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I guess Ebbett won the battle royal with Shroeder for that number two center spot then eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB007 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Vandemeer is on 2 way contract. He could've been sent down without waivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMash Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 It's no coincidence that I pay closer attention to the posts you guys make when I see them in a thread, you both make good points very consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pibroch Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 All this talk of Schroeder is making me think that people shouldn't be allowed to post their opinion about prospects unless they've watched them play in a reasonable amount of games. Or if they listen to the people who have before posting and realize that those people know way more about the prospect than them and their opinion should objectively be considered more valuable.

bloodycanuckleheads Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 > I'm guessing that's about as deep as your ability to assess players goes... Don't forget that AV sided with me, not you. Otherwise Ebbett wouldn't be on the team, and Schroeder wouldn't be heading for Chicago. I take it Gillis and Vigneault don't have the ability fo assess players either, right? > Cause clearly there's a direct correlation between AHL stats and NHL stats... There is actually. As I pointed out earlier, it's 0.44. Here's a report on the matter. There are others out there as well. Here's one from BTN. > Ebbett was gifted with first line minutes constantly, and got to play with the best players on the team. Schroeder's played with Sterling and Kassian too. If you look up the last 5 or 10 points he scored, you'll find both Kassian and Sterling listed in the box-score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotesMagotes Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 AV lovers are the worst. He's a failure of coach and can't develop prospects. How much more evidence do you need? How many more years of failure do you need to see? AV is a joke of a coach and should be canned ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB007 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 That's not how it works. 2 way has nothing to do with waivers, even though EA wants you to think it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodycanuckleheads Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 > Look at Hodgson, he was very lukewarm in the AHL and was great when he finally got his NHL chance. You mean the chance where the Canucks manipulated his zone-starts so as to artificially inflate his stats (so they could trade him)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJamIam Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I've never seen so many users go full retard in one thread. Fire AV is just one example of many. Just really amazing how so many people can be so ignorant on an issue. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
