funkyfresh Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Interview with TSN Hamilton. http://www.tsn.ca/radio/hamilton-1150/candella-thankful-vancouver-had-a-lot-of-faith-in-me-1.516599 Edit: I love how he already understands it's probably going to be 2 years in junior, and then another couple years in the AHL before he's ready for a shot at the Canucks lineup. The player's patience is critical in development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al-mo Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 After number five this is likely my favourite pick of the draft. Likely would have gone much higher without the injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putgolzin Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Heard an ad for Hamilton Bulldogs today and one of the players they highlighted was Cole Candella. It seems there's starting to be some noise that he's going to be a real prospect. Or at least a top dman for his team in junior, kinda like Brisebois...not bad!

Definitely seems like a sound draft strategy: target late round picks who might have been underutilized or who had limited opportunity due to injury or roster pressures. And focus on the players that appear to be in their coaches' plans for an increased role in their D+1 season (which basically makes those junior coaches part of your scouting department--at least as far as how they view their player's potential to improve and take on larger roles).

flickyoursedin Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 This was one of my favourite picks of this last draft. I think he's got huge offensive upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just remember in Detroits glory years talking with an old Wings fan. I was taking the typical line that it was amazing they had picked up so much star power in late rounds. His take was it wasn't terribly surprising as they had always specifically targeted guys in late rounds that were known to be high-character and then focused on developing that...I mean it all sounds so obvious but if we're actually carrying through in a similar vein it can only be good.
