Gaudette Celly Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 9 goals by the Cougars last night, but Tate held pointless. Did finish +3, tied with two others for the team high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueberries Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Pretty impressive numbers considering his team doesn't have an extreme high scorer. I knows it early but.. Steal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 He's showing pretty promising things, that's for sure. If he can even turn into a fringe NHLer, that'll be a win for a guy picked near the end of the seventh round. He's really kicked things up a notch and it's great. Him and Carl Neill seem to be nice late round steals and could help shore up our weak defensive depth in little more then a jiffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 2 points back right from Harkins right now with 3 games less played Big Mike, do you have any opinion on shut down PG defenseman Josh Anderson?

Patchoball Cannons Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Tate Olsen is putting together a really good season with the Cougars. Benning may have found us a real Gem at 206th overall. He has shown big improvement this year. If he starts to fill out that big frame a little more he could be a real find.

He doesn't have tate's offensive flair but his defensive game is better . This is only his second full season but I like what I see. I would excpect him to be a late 3rd round more likely a 4th round pick and I would be very happy is the Canucks took him. I also like his physical game which is where his size comes into play he's definitely got potential to be a good solid shut down defenseman but he's never going to produce much offense which means that he might well fly under the radar and get pick later in the draft (5th,6th,7th). All in all I like him but I'm just a tad biased He is a cougar after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantum Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Was Benning responsible for the Bruins picking up Zach Trotman with the 210th pick of the 2010 draft? Because, if he was, I think Benning may have gotten another late round steal with Tate Olson. I mean, Zach Trotman may not be a flashy defenseman, but he is a regular NHLer now and has solidfied his spot on the Bruins d-corps. I know this is Olson's Draft + 1 year, but he has really kicked it up a notch and could be a nice depth piece for the Canucks defense in a few seasons. Him, Neil, and Brisebois all look like solid draft picks at this point, so I'm not as worried about our defensive group going forward. All we need is that star D-Man to really soldify things and the future doesn't seem so bleak. Throw in a guy like Troy Stretcher (I believe he'll sign in Vancouver this spring... hometown boy, actual opportunity to play for his hometown team, it seems like a perfect fit) and maybe another College UFA D-man (or two) and things look better. #InBenningWeTrust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Okay, so I got a chance to watch Tate Olson tonight. What I noticed from this game: - Has a beauty of a drop pass and can lead a rush quite well - Rarely lets opposing players behind him unless there's another guy there, which, there usually isnt - Whoever said he takes a bit too much time making decisions was right. - Has nice speed and muscle chasing down a puck, but needs to bulk up to be anything close to an NHL player. That being said, guys bounced off him when trying to check him along the boards. He didn't have any points, was on the ice for 2 or so goals, and had 6 PIM. The first goal he was on the ice for I don't blame him for. He had been out on the ice for a considerable amount of time already, not to mention they were short handed 5 on 3. The first penalty he got was just one of those moments where he was playing and just happened to result in a penalty. The second penalty was a bit more interesting. He took down the Pats' captain behind the net (it was pretty obvious) and then laughed at the guy. A bit unsportsmanlike, tbh. But then again, the whole Cougars team was a bit chippy. The final penalty he got, he was chasing down a puck along with one of the Pats, got in front of him, but kept pushing the guy off to the side. He only got one shot off that I could see, but he did have pretty nice release and played pretty responsibly for most of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning would have done at least as much scouting as an AGM for Boston as a GM for the Nucks. The pick he is most proud of was Paul Gaustad. He pushed hard for Gaustad in the 7th round as Director of Scouting for Buffalo. Trotman fits Benning's scouting profile. Like our own Mackenzie Stewart and Paul Gaustad, Trotman is a big, fiesty, driven 7th round selection. This bodes well for Tate Olson. Another 7th round gem from Benning?

I've found this as well but I also find that more often than not this isn't an issue - Has nice speed and muscle chasing down a puck, but needs to bulk up to be anything close to an NHL player. That being said, guys bounced off him when trying to check him along the boards. Bulking up is imo not a big concern he's able to play physical and is pretty hard to take down or knock off the puck He didn't have any points, was on the ice for 2 or so goals, and had 6 PIM.

Sounds like a standard Tate Olson game there made some mistakes took a dumb penalty but all around played pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
