Mo Grit Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 About Teves, Stan uses words like: new wave defencemen quick transition mental fortitude leader does all the right things consistent first pass high character coachable unreal work ethic doesn't take a shift off incredible drive first pass is excellent hard-nosed style and finally, offensive upside. I consider us to have been delivered from the power of darkness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Watching Josh in the 3rd period against the Ducks.. kid reminds me of a quicker, young, dynamic D Keith.. and there is NOTHING wrong with that. He’s a beauty.. cheers JB! Allows almost 0 gap. Edited March 27, 2019 by SilentSam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theguy445 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 1 game might not mean much, but from what I saw he looked kinda lost in the defensive zone at times when the other team had puck control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleThorn Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Looked like a deer in the headlights on his first shift. A little later, had a nervous half check that could have ended badly. By the end of the game he was playing a solid game. Looks very slight and didn't venture into the offensive side too much. Is definitely behind Brisebois, but a lot of positives !

That's why it's so important to give prospects a taste of NHL before their actual rookie season so they can mentally and physically prepare during the summer.

Good for him to get a taste of NHL action as he might be the kind of guy who thinks the game well after getting a chance to test himself (and fail). Encouraging to hear that his play was more solid by the end of the game. At this point of the season, I'm more interested in seeing how guys compete as they head into the off season. It could be a very interesting summer and then training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenAlien Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 With Hughes and Hutton back, this is probably the only time we’ll see Teves this season. Though it sounds like he’s got a full plate anyway: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanukfanatic Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Did someone compare Teves to Duncan Keith? One of the best D in the league for years Keith? Teves...the 24 year old rookie.... Haha...good god that is some high level scouting opinion hahaha.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just didn't say anything because I had nothing nice to say lol Teves looked good out there for his first ever professional game. Will be in Utica next season but at least we will have quite a few decent pieces down there. Most likely all of Juolevi, Sautner, Brisebois, Teves, Chatfield, Eliot, Biega Hughes-Tanev Edler-Stecher Hutton-Myers Schenn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Keith play in Penticton, and his NHL rookie year,. there are similarities at this stage (next year possibly being his first year in the NHL or AHL), Skating being one of them. That’s not “high level scouting opinion” . . its a fact.. Perhaps you need to read what Smly said about him.

rizzuto&hatoum Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 From what I remember, Duncan Keith was terrible those first couple years - slight, constantly losing pucks and falling to the ice. I remember a Canuck sped by him scoring the winning goal while Keith wiped himself out at centre ice. It was only later on that he became a stud.

I respectfully appreciate your thoughts R&H, But we can’t argue what the Blackhawks saw in D Keith. There are glimpses you get from players that give you their peak strengths, from what I understand, the idea is to watch a player for more consistently in those strengths.. and create more first plays than errors. Everyone has a different timeline to their peak game.. everyone has a different journey to get to the big game. A lot of talent never makes it. Real “Life” is a huge factor. I think Smyl is bang on with his words of assessment on Teves as provided by @Mo Grit .. “About Teves, Stan uses words like: new wave defencemen quick transition mental fortitude leader does all the right things consistent first pass high character coachable unreal work ethic doesn't take a shift off incredible drive first pass is excellent hard-nosed style and finally, offensive upside.” For those here just wanting to deal an AHL or NHL card on a new player as some high valued opinion, and offer nothing else other than negativity on other posters thoughts.. Keep Calm and Stay Redundant. Edited March 28, 2019 by SilentSam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider us to have been delivered from the power of darkness. These are not words that are bandied about carelessly. Simply go through the Canuck roster and see how many players could be described this way. Maybe 7/8? He reminds me of Stecher, who I really didn't think would stick with the team when he was signed. Troy has become the 'dark horse' since then and is developing into a decent NHL defenceman. Teves is just a year older and appears to have many of the traits that Stech has utilized to develop into the player he has become. I am hopeful that this player can do the same.

Fred65 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 48 minutes ago, cyoung said: Most likely Utica bound this fall I only watched him once and he struck me as overawed by his just being there in the NHL. By the end of the game, he was playing smart hockey. I'm sure he'll start in Utica but he won't stay there long. We have no idea how Juolevi will play when he returns from a long serious injury and this youngster who is older, may jump ahead of him on the depth chart. Nothing better than the competition. Both Rafferty and Teves strike me as good signings. I understand Rafferty was given a $95K signing bonus which would suggest there was competition to sign this player. All three NCAA FA signing this summer are a plus IMO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a few turnovers and looked like it was a big shock for him to go directly from NCAA to NHL. We look at Brock Boeser, Quinn Hughes (and forget the in-betweener Gaudette) and assume that jumping a league (AHL) is no big deal, but it is. He didn't look outmatched speed-wise though, and I could see him becoming an NHLer without too much of a reach. Looking at a year in Utica, in my opinion.
