DeNiro Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Is he an over ager ? Yes he is. He has a July birthday though, so he's not too much older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Probably my 2nd favorite prospect from our picks this year. Really think he's solid in all aspects of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirensong87 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yes he is. He has a July birthday though, so he's not too much older. Only like 9 months.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coryberg Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 When someone said he's the next Subban, does that mean he's a little fellow? 6'3 200+ lbs at 19 If subban were that size he would have been a top 10 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Only like 9 months.... From the cut off? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I think Neill is the dark horse out of this draft class. Someone said they thought he might take the same route as Bieksa or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadcanucks Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yes he is. He has a July birthday though, so he's not too much older. This is a first...a kid playing the entire 2015-2016 as a 19 year-old being called an over-ager. Check again, Neil has one full year of junior eligibility and one more as an over-ager.

Derp... Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Overage draft pick, becuase it was his second year of eligibility, but only by about 2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I always highly value the opinions of random CDCers who have never seen a young man play a shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check again, Neil has one full year of junior eligibility and one more as an over-ager. I know, I said he was an overager. He's only a couple months from the cutoff though. Edit: I meant for the draft, not for junior by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Another 2 points for Neill. 1G 1A making Roy look bad lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Another 2 points for Neill. 1G 1A making Roy look bad lol 6 points in 3 GP. He's tearing up the preseason. It would be awesome if an unexpected guy like this became the puck mover we need. He's got great size and can move the puck. Hopefully he can have a breakout season.

Derp... Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 He's not lauded for his d zone ability, but he's the captain so he's probably going to be decent in his own zone. I don't think you give a guy the C if he can't play well in his own zone. I have a feeling he will put up 20+ goals this year and everyone will be thinking he's the next great pick cause of his size.

Derp... Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Dion Phaneuf begs to differ Yes, yes he does. I hope the leafs never trade him. He's the quintessential Leaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Yes, yes he does. I hope the leafs never trade him. He's the quintessential Leaf. I've always liked Dion. I hate the Leafs, of course - they need to be hated, but Dion always does his best. He's just playing in front of suspect goaltending, forcing him to do too much. Seriously, Those goalies there can be really bad. We've been spoiled here since getting Luongo, with solid goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some go at it hard others not so much so early success often sorts out who worked from those that did not, but it does tend to towards leveling out as the season progresses IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dion would be a great #4 dman an a contender. The problem is he is paid like the best dman in the game. In reality he is probably #50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
