Captain Aerosex Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 The Canadian Jordan Schroeder. I would think he'll be more than a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Calgary is going to pick him up I think or Buffalo. I don't think he'll fall very fall in the draft at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I would think he'll be more than a little better. of course he will; he's Canadian, afterall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsasaki Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I think he'll go 9-12. After the big three (Jones, Drouin, Mackinnon), I think Barkov, Lindholm and Nishushkin are 4/5/6 (in no particular order), Edmonton will take a D so either Nurse (probable), Ristolainen or Zadorov. Monohan will go 8, then I think Shinkaruk, whichever of those 2 aforementioned D don't get picked, and Domi will go 8-12, any of them could go in any of those places.

theminister Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 The Canadian Jordan Schroeder. He reminds me of Cory Stillman. Very similar playing style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 That's quite a compliment, Stillman was one of those really solid reliable NHLers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 That's quite a compliment, Stillman was one of those really solid reliable NHLers. Instrumental in two Cups. Wicked shot, excellent skater and a a little jam for a smaller guy. That's what I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Doughty Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 4th overall in NHL 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 4th overall in NHL 13 .....because that is a good gauge of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do you see that as an honest translation into his NHL game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 But do you see that as an honest translation into his NHL game ? Hard to say. I think his biggest issue is consistency. He doesn't bring it every shift yet but then again neither did Stillman early on. He's got the talent but where he goes from here is up to him. A guy his size is going to need to work because what is average size now will be below average soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonMexico Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 His parents sat in front of me at one of those russia-canada games last year at the pacific coliseum. He will be limited in size by genetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jägermeister Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I'd be surprised if he did not become a top 6 forward in his career. At 5'10 (even 5'11 by some sources) he isn't overly small by todays standards, and he plays bigger than that. His tenacity coupled with his offensive skill should get him far in the NHL. I also feel like a small player who proved his worth in the WHL have gone a long way to show that their size shouldn't be much of a hinderance.

He's is much bigger than Schroeder but has a similar body shape. He isn't one of those skinny kids is what I am saying. I'd be surprised if he did not become a top 6 forward in his career. At 5'10 (even 5'11 by some sources) he isn't overly small by todays standards, and he plays bigger than that. His tenacity coupled with his offensive skill should get him far in the NHL. I also feel like a small player who proved his worth in the WHL have gone a long way to show that their size shouldn't be much of a hinderance. He will be undersized by Pro standards though as soon as he steps into the AHL. 5'11" is definitely 'small' by NHL standards for a forward. He could overcome it, anyone with skating and a shot like his can, but the real question will be if he is willing to take the pounding shift after shift. Make no mistake about it though, his size will always be a question mark until he can prove it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
