MoneypuckOverlord Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Most college free agent signings don't make huge impacts. The one that's made the biggest impact is Tyler bozak, who is a border 2nd line centerman 3rd line centerman. The other one is none other then Chris Tanev who is playing like a solid top 4 NHL defencemen in the NHL. But unlikely any of these names actually make a impact. would love to have Sustr.

elvis15 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 News from this morning: News1130Sports One of the prize college free agents available is centerman Kellan Lain from Lake Superior State - the #Canucks are very interested. Lain this morning from Oakville, Ont confirmed to CKWX that Vancouver is high on his list but lots of teams after him. The 23 year old Lain says the #Canucks have been after him for a long time. Lain is 6-6, 222 pounds and he says he will talk with his representitive Ian Pulver this weekend and decide soon. Lain says he was a late-bloomer. OHL wasn't interested. Now he has NHL teams lining up. Benefits of college hockey. Lake Superior coach Jim Roque tells CKWX that he projects Lain to be a 3rd or 4th line checking center in the NHL.

MJDDawg Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 -Sustr I never thought I'd say this, but 218 is kind of light. I mean for a guy 6'8'' I think a healthy 230 minimum. With a frame that big, let's hope he dirty bulks in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockNroLLa. Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 CCHA guys are a big gamble. Something like less than 10% who get signed ever step foot in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

komodo1970 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Why beat around the bush. Get them both. They would definately fill the size issues given some more development. Add an Alexander Grenier to the mix and we could have a monster team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver_surfer Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I dunno finding Tanev certainly paid off. It's not like we're using draft picks. Or is the pain of wasting a first rounder on Pat White still haunting you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
