Ossi Vaananen Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Here's a little bargain bin shopping for the amateur scouts around here. The players 20 and under will have the option to reenter the draft. The older players will be available to sign, assuming we want to. I know the Canucks are still in on D. Raddysh, and are attempting to keep Zhukenov in NA, but there could still be a diamond in the rough in this group. I've only run a couple names through eliteprospects, and I'm focusing on forwards. In that respect, I like Brad Morrison and Adam Marsh so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 One player not on that list is Alex Kerfoot, He becomes a free agent on August 15th after being drafted and not signed by NJD. Kerfoot is the captain of the Harvard team,Hobey Baker award finalist, an ex- Giant and is the son of the Whitecaps owner Greg Kerfoot. I think Benning will recruit heavy on him http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/canucks-ncaa-prospect-alex-kerfoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be stoked to grab Kerfoot, and someone mentioned his parents own the Whitecaps - pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaku Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Not Fabrice Herzog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I basically don't know anyone from that list, but if we have any interest, I would hope they would be signed to an AHL contract and not an NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I wouldn't mind grabbing Giorgio Estephan. Some pretty good stats. 6'0 195lbs. But what on earth happened to Nikita Korostelev? I remember him being listed as a 2nd round pick in his draft year and wanted to pick him up with our 3rd but man Im glad we didnt. Wouldnt mind taking him with our later rounds though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Wasn't Estephan supposed to be really good? Would not mind spending a mid-late round pick on him. Same with Korostelev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM_ Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'm wondering if there's a sleeper goalie in there somewhere. Svoboda seems to have had a good run this year and has done better than the other goalies by quite a margin (http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=101860).

Fanuck Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 That is a huge list of MEH right there......a lot of guys that just never continued to develop and/or were just long-shots to begin with. I still laugh that people on CDC actually penciled Olson into our line-up in the not-to-distant future. Some people just don't' get that MOST pics never actually pan-out into NHL players - and that's ok, it doesn't mean a GM is doing a bad job whatsoever.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Matteo Gennaro Is Jakob Stukel's teammate, and despite a pretty weak Calgary Hitmen team, Matteo led the team in goals and points. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=160180 big bodied centre. I'd offer him a look at prospects camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svoboda actually seems to have had a breakout year for him in the Czech league... don't know that that would mean over here but maybe an AHL chance? I know the family of one of the guys on the list... not gonna say who but he's being passed over due to laziness and not working on his skating enough, and we don't need that.
