goblix Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 from the write up at CA I like Spencer Foo, work ethic and consistency goes a long way in the nhl when you have talent to back it up. ZAR as well because he can fit in a 3rd line role nicely which would be better to have him there than Megna lol maybe Alex Kerfoot NJD pick in the 5th rd has good numbers and offensive 5'10 winger. Vancouver native. But I dunno I'll trust JB and his scouting plus limited contract spots so can't just go too insane here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70seven Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 ZAR would be a solid pickup. I feel that Vancouver actually has a very good chance of signing him seeing how wing positions will be wide open for competition. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Now that we're off ZAR, who's next on the wishlist? Brickley and Pionk on D? Vecchione, Foo, Kelleher, Stevens, etc for Fs? Maybe Mitch Hults? 6'2, 200+ C/W who, unlike many of this year's crop, actually brings "plus" level skating alongside a big body. Doesn't quite have the numbers of the top end guys but still around a point per game in only his second year of college (albeit as a 22-year-old). Still a bit of a project in terms of his consistency and discipline, but seems to have some upside. 2017 Profile: link Quote Late in his recruitment, Hults passed on the opportunity to play as a near-walk-on at Minnesota in order to take a bigger scholarship offer at Lake Superior State. That move has really paid off because Hults receives a ton of ice time—top line center, point on the top power play unit, top PK unit—and has ample opportunity to show off his skills. Hults is listed at 6-2 205 lbs., which gives him the size to use long reach and protect the puck effectively, but what separates him and makes him an NHL prospect is that he has extremely light feet and is a very fast skater. Discipline is the biggest concern with Hults, but he has all the physical traits to be an effective winger at the NHL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 CJ Smith is also an intriguing forward who often gets overlooked. Very solid numbers over three seasons. Good skill level. And another "plus" skater (which seem to be in short supply among this year's crop). Decent article from last year on why Smith might be unfairly overlooked/underrated. Quote Most just think of UMass Lowell as a team that plays the system of head coach Norm Bazin to perfection and that the next man will step up. But, the team isn't without a star whose impact is integral to its success. When the Chicago Steel alum scores at least a point over the past two seasons, UML is 29-9-6 compared to 14-11-5 when he's held off the score sheet. Smith's biggest attribute is his speed, but he thinks the game sees the ice well. On both of his assists last night, he knew where he was sending the puck before he even received the biscuit.
