Notice how our late picks are doing well? That's scary indeed. I like the Castaways section. Considering that the 3 former Canuck prospects on the list have a combined total of one NHL point so far, I don't think that too many Canuck fans are feeling punished by this section of the list.

If you think that I am punishing you by showing McCann's 8 gp 0G 0A 0Pts stat-line... OP updated with stats through last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My definition of 'prospect' is mostly arbitrary. If there is someone you want on the list that hasn't been added, just let me know. FAQ: Reveal hidden contents 1) How often will the thread be updated? I plan to update about twice per month 2) Where do you get the stats from? All stats are pulled from the player's HockeyDB page. 3) How are players sorted? Players are sorted by league. Since some leagues (i.e., Europe, NCAA) are less likely to contain a large number of prospects, I have collapsed them into a single category. 4) How do I find a specific player quickly? If you are looking for a specific player, players are sorted alphabetically by first name. Players marked by bold font are those who I would consider the Canucks' top prospects. and a very big thank you for adding jensen to the castaways tracking he really does seem to perform well in the ahl he might end up have a long and decent career there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's struggling to produce for sure, but what might be of greater concern to Florida is the type of minutes he's not producing in. His zone starts are extremely weighted for opportunity. He's had 42% ozone starts, 16% dzone. That's 72% of his zone starts in the ozone (O relative to D, as Behindthenet calculates it). 84% in the ozone and neutral zone. Very sheltered, At the same time however, Florida is missing Bjugstad - and like last year, they have a pretty weak/shallow bottom 6 forwards (imo) - so with guys like Marchessault and Sceviour producing as top 6 LWs, it's probably going to be difficult to find ideal minutes for McCann. Also, what he did in the offseason - add significant weight to a slight frame - that's not necessarily conducive to the type of game he likes to play. He's a quick, shifty player - when you have a body type that's ideally slight, it's not easy to maintain your strengths when you're piling 20lbs onto a young 6ft frame. When I hear things like 'look out, he's added 20lbs' - that can go either way, particularly when your strengths lean towards speed, quickness, elusiveness.... But he's only 20yrs old. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him slim back down closer to the high 180s/190ish - that may be a better balance for him in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened to Linden Vey, it happened to Brandon Reid (though he was a fringe NHLer to begin with). Guys that are 5'9-5'11 shouldn't be trying to hit 195-200 pounds. It ruins their speed/elusiveness and the added weight just makes them a tweener, they're still going to lose a lot of battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 OP updated with stats through Tuesday November 8th. Almost everyone in the Q is at a ppg pace. Juolevi is on track. Boeser slowed down a bit but Lockwood is at a ppg pace. Utica is pretty dismal but Subban a bright spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beary Sweet Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 McKenzie is looking like a steal for a 7th round pick producing beyond PPG. He's going to be big part of this team's future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be big part of this team's future Let's not forget he was skipped over in the last draft if I'm not mistaken. we should temper our expectations look what dane fox did after we signed him. same age if I'm not mistaken.

canucklehead44 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I wish Gaudette was a defenseman, then we could have the "Gud Gaud" pairing. On that note, he is having an amazing season. Steal in the 5th round - good college players seem to do well in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho_Path Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 You could add Grenier to the AHL list, and McCann is now back in the AHL. Thanks for taking the time to do this, regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I am actually surprised McCann was in the NHL this year. I think he is a good talent, but definitely needs more seasoning (much like Jake). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
