Smashian Kassian Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Why did we draft him of he's so small Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Industrious1 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Lots of optimism for Schroeder in this thread, which is nice because you can't really say Canucks fans hate their rookies. In fact i'd say we heap so much hopes and expectations on them that unless things play out perfectly we tend to get....cranky. I think Jordan's game still needs alot of work (like most rookies). There are some flashes here and there but nothing that I personally am overly excited about. His size is something he will need to deal with and overcome to become an everyday staple in the big leagues but since other players in the NHL are small and produce the idea is that he can as well.... I hope that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I think he is pretty scrappy and battles fairly well along the boards IN SPITE of his size actually. He is very strong on his skates and was throwing the body around a little bit too. Offense is going to be his bread and butter and the kid has good vision and hands........he creates space for linemates with his speed too which will only help him.

riffraff Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 He plays bigger than he is most nights. Last night he had an excellent 200' game and obviously the highlight reel pass. Most nights he's reliable in our end which really, at his stage, is all you can ask for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BedBeats™2.0 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 O.P. uses big words to describe small player. Some small players have had very good careers, too soon to say how Jordan will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerAids Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I've liked what I've seen from Schroeder so far, he's obviously not the biggest guy out there, but he battles hard and forechecks and back checks well. He seems very strong and solid for his size IMO, I'm pretty sure during his draft combine he was in the top 3 in bench press weight, or something like that, can anyone back up my foggy thought with a fact?

BuretoMogilny Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm in no way a J.Shroeder hater but lets be real here. Every time I see him on the ice he looks way too small to be on the ice. Think all the way back to when Steve Kariya tried out for the Vancouver Canucks. Save for the beautiful pass to Dale Weise last night, it has been rough sailing for Jordan. When he goes into a corner to battle for the puck he always gets mauled like he has no business being on a 4th line grinding shift. He clearly doesn't have the skillset to consistently pop in goals on a nightly basis. I would seriously consider a long hard look at packaging him up. I'll eat crow if I'm wrong but I don't see Jordan lasting more than 2 more years in this league. I see a Ebbett journey man/ AHL/ Overseas career in Shroeder. I would absolutely do a Visnovsky/Boyes for Shroeder & 3rd at the deadline!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar baby watermelon Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Patrick Kane looks diminutive/unimposing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73 Percent Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Take this for what its worth but coho tallied 1g 1a in 8gp in his first year with the canucks. Schroeder has 2g 4a in 24 games this season. See any similarities? Perhaps the .25 ppg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
