Popular Post Noble 6 Posted July 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, Bure_Pavel said: If you had the choice between Lind developing in college or Utica last year, would you hands down pick Utica though over say North Dakota? The main advantage of the richer NHL teams is they are able to sink more money into player development ie the best skills, strength, and skating coaches and facilities. Heard Ray Ferraro talking about how the much the Leafs spend on player development and how it is one of the main advantages of a team like the leafs over budget teams. I believe Canucks are getting a new practice facility near rogers arena, so that is a good start. But the original point was I feel comfortable with Podkolzin developing in the KHL, no need to rush him to NA just to play in AHL. I think having the budget, staff, commitment and resources to develop you're players is the key factor in developing young players. Obviously getting to choose where a prospect plays at any point in time would be ideal, but that's just not how it works. Some teams teams simply take the best player available regardless of where they're playing next year and then approach their development the best way they can. One example is Adam Boqvist, drafted 8th overall last year behind Hughes. The Blackhawks had the choice to play him in any league they wanted; AHL, SHL, Allsvenskan or CHL. They chose the CHL, and not just the CHL, the London Knights who already had Bouchard as their #1D and right handed offensive defenseman. It was a really odd choice that didn't make much sense to me at all. But the Blackhawks made that choice and then committed to developing him in that situation: They essentially have a personal development coach for their player. Campbell officially worked for the Blackhawks in a business role, but transitioned into a player development coach. Have we seen any of our development staff working with any of our prospects in the same capacity? I'm aware that a lot happens off camera, but the fact that we only have two people listed in the organization who's role is development outside of Utica (Ryan Johnson and Stan Smyl), I'd say it's unlikely that any of our prospects get the same quality of instruction. Given how many of our prospects have developed outside of the AHL, is that a good or bad thing? The Blackhawks have 9-10 players listed in development of some kind including Campbell.The Maple Leafs have 11-12. Even the Sharks and Predators have more than us with around 4. On a side note, I really don't understand why the Canucks don't produce more content. The Blackhawks have about 25-30 minutes of content spread out over 3 episodes of behind the scenes looks at their scouting and drafting process. They have a 25 minute video introduces Dach as their 3rd overall pick. They have 10 minutes on how they're working to develop Boqvist throughout the year. The closest the Canucks get is 5 minutes of draft coverage. I really don't understand why there isn't more media content available to the fans.

I would rather have our prospects get +20 minutes of ice time playing in all situations, being the go to guy. Rather than a third or fourth liner on a pro team. I think Ryan Johnson even said they probably shouldnt have been there. Lind seems like a kid who can handle adversity, hopefully he bounces back next season and comes in stronger and faster. Looking forward to watching Lind and Gadjovich this fall after a AHL season under their belts and a full summer of training. With the added depth in Vancouver they will get another year or 2 to develop their game. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 This is going to be us inserting a top 9 - if not top 6 - player into our lineup in 2 years, on a full ELC. That's really exciting. It shouldn't be like Horvat or Jake were the first few year or two coming out of junior, where they were developing & trying to find their way while on an ELC. That one's advantage to drafting guys from overseas who have pro contracts already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stierlitz Posted July 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2019 (edited) There is new head coach Alexey Kudashov in both SKA club and the Russian national team, Kudashov was assistant coach with the national team before. This is good news for Podkolzin since Kudashov is well known in the KHL for developing young hockey players. This is expected that young players are going to play bigger role in the club now.

(Avtomobilist is Tryamkins Team) Finnish rink size is 200 ft long 92/93 ft wide. It's not too big like Olympic but bigger than NHL rinks. Which are 85 ft wide. I think NHL teams should switch to 90 ft wide size but it'll never happen. Taking out seats, teams lose revenue then there the ice sheet which needs to be expanded and that infrastructure would be a big cost. I listened to Brian Burke talk about it many times. He's a big proponent of changing it to 90 ft wide. He said new rinks should be made to have ice 90 ft wide. Vegas should have and now Seattle. Moving forward every time a team builds a new arena it would be with wider ice. That's the best way. Or owners just won't do it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
