aGENT Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 At this point I'd almost prefer that we move/package him to a team with a clearer path/more space at F than use up a contract spot given our relative depth of this type of player. Use him to fill other needs/recycle a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpn1 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I think he will be a good AHL player and serves depth for the Canucks when injuries hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope springs eternal I think he becomes a UFA. Last season, JB said Lockwood was ready for the AHL at the end of the college season. I think Lockwood wanted the same as ?Boeser and Hughes, and get those NHL games at the end of his college season. The only way he can burn that year off his elc is to play NHL games at the end of his college season, which (IMO) JB will not do. That means it’s the AHL for Lockwood, and no year burned off his elc. Given those circumstances Lockwood goes to his August UFA date, and picks a team (Jersey?) where he can play in the NHL sooner. I don’t know if he’s an NHL player, or ever will be. So no loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Alf, I don;t think he gets a contract here. He would bbe very far down our depth chart if he did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man how things change, this was an earlier post Quote That dangle at the beginning of the highlight video is just so dirty and filthy, the player he went around should get tested. Reminds me of a bit Kane or Gaudreau with the quick turns and the quickness to then make someone look bad and roof a shot. We haven't had a prospect like this in a long time. The fact he has a bit of an edge to him makes me smile. You gotta laugh. Cheerleaders one and all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure fans cheer for their guys, but Lockwood is really not that great. He never was more than that, was he? I’m missing something here, again.

Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted January 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Lockwood, with his 11 points, is actually only one point off the team lead (Slaker with 12 points) for Michigan this season. The Wolverines lost Marody (51 points) and Calderone (45 points) two years ago, and then Quinn Hughes last year. Basically removed the top end of their offense, and haven’t (yet) replaced it. Lockwood was never really a player who would singlehandedly put up huge numbers. As a compliment to a potent offensive group, he certainly has the ability to be a prolific scorer at that level (aka around a point per game NCAA player), but that’s not the situation he finds himself in Michigan this year. Scoring is way down across the board, and if not for some strong goaltending this year, Michigan‘s record would be even worse than it is now (9-11-2). Just part of the cycle teams go through. The Wolverines just don’t have the horses on offense they once had, and Lockwood and the other seniors only really have enough juice to keep them (marginally) competitive most games (and that’s assuming the goalies play well).

Borvat Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 If he played center I think his chances would be much better of earning a contract. There just seem to be too many good young prospects that are ahead of him and in the pipeline. His size and injury history aren't in his favor as well. Sad for him but it means that the Canuck's finally don't need to worry over whether fringe prospects sign at this point. Bigger fish to fry.

My point was not about how U Mich are doing but the unbridled overstated enthusiasm and cheerleading some fans will show for any player that is a Vcr prospect regardless of reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
