Derp... Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Oshawa selected Nico Gross out of Switzerland in the expansion draft. A chance he comes over and plays with Brassard, as he is a LD.http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=319554 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potential #1 center (Pettersson), sniper (Lind), power forward (Gadjovich), starting goalie (Dipietro... no 15 year contracts please J.B.) Stecher-like PMD (Rathbone), decent(?) shutdown guy (Gunnarsson), smallish but skilled play-making and scoring winger who's played with Gadjovich (Palmu) and a physical, productive right-side D in Brassard? J.B. is having himself some kind of draft day. If two of this year's Canuck picks get more than 100 NHL games and one other gets to 50 or so then it will have been a moderately successful draft. To get three over 200 games would be phenomenal. Unfortunately, odds are against having more than 2 or 3 ever play in NHL but you never know. Best draft years ever can lead to 3 to 4 making it. Some years, zero. Let's hope for Canuck faithful this is one of those "best ever" years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Also, a nice little DEV graphic of Canucks CHL draft picks. Brassard pegged at 2nd round value: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty toolsy kid with potential for having a big year in Oshawa. Doesn't seem to get the same hype among our recent crop of prospects as Palmu (I suppose not surprising given their positions and playing styles) but Brassard really looks like another steal of a late round pick. pGPS models peg him at a 16% chance of developing into an NHL regular. DEV model says he's a 2nd round pick value. Brock Otten (OHL Prospects blog) listed him as a top-10 draft re-entry for 2017 and a very good bet for any team looking to get top value in the middle-to-late rounds. Steve Kournianos (Draft Analyst) also rated him pretty high IIRC. Possibly a player we should be a little more excited about having in the system? Hopefully he starts building more hype with a strong 2017-18 season. But definitely a player to watch this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a very uneven start to his draft year and played like someone potentially to be passed over but after being traded played more like a 2nd/3rd round pick with solid NHL potential. Question is, why the inconsistency? Was it a growth thing? Issues at school/home? Injury? Guess that is what teams looked at and Canucks were the team that satisfied themselves in taking a chance - this season will tell if he was a couple of month intrigue or if they may actually have a prospect.

Derp... Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 What will he have to do to get an invite to the WJC camp? .75 points per game with some big hits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 If we can get one third-pairing solid bruiser out of Cederholm, Brassard, and Gunnarsson that's a nice win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I wouldn't say definitely yet. He's gonna get first unit PP time probably. He had 200 shots last year, if he gets up to 250-300 he could score 15-20 goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
