  1. I'd say skill level wise, he'd absolutely be ready. He probably needs time to adjust as a center and being on NA ice though.
  2. Brock should definately make the team. He might lead preseason in goals and points when its all set and done. He'll get a lot of minutes these next two games so he'll get opportunities.
  3. He looked great today. Looked like he was trying way harder and making good decisions. I know hockey iq is "unteachable" but he actually looked like he was making smarter plays, reading the play better and covering for defenseman when they stepped up. His weight loss + Effort level is showing.
  4. I mean they had similar stats but Pettersson is younger so I'd say that Pettersson is the better prospect. I'd put him 3 or 4 right now (on the prospect pool), but he could be #1 after a few months.
  5. Good value at 33, could have gone 24-30
  6. Demko has red-ish hair too. I would say return of the goalie controversy, but it never left in the first place.
  7. Pretty good draft for us. I'm confused about the Gunnarson pick, but that's just one pick. Pettersson has so much upside.
  8. Hertl and Necas have different skillsets and also probably had different situations. I think it also helps that Necas is a center (or at least I think). As for Mittelstadt, when he played in the USHL he produced like a top 10 pick. So obviously he played more than he should have in high school but his production in the USHL was pretty good and his skillset is pretty special.
  9. In that case, Petan would have been a star. It's not just about numbers, it's how they play and their skillset. He has special skillsets as a offensive defenseman, which could turn him into a top scoring defenseman. Based on his skillset, his WJAC and his season as a whole, he should be a top 10 pick. Now am I saying he's a star for sure? No way, and he is a risky pick. But what I'm saying is his ceiling is high, and you can't deny that.
  10. Guys who are great offensive d-men will usually find ways to get better defensively (Karlsson, Ellis, etc). So u can teach a guy like Makar how to defend, but its harder to teach a guy like Gudbranson how to be a good offensive d man. Makar has a high ceiling that might possibly make him into the best player in the draft. I think that's why scouts love him. There's some risk, but I think he'll find ways to succeed.
  11. This is the statistics I was looking at: http://collegehockeyinc.com/stats/filters17.php He's 16-13 on the faceoffs so far this year, was 24-21 last year. Seems like he's taking a lot more faceoffs this year playing with gersich and jost.
  12. I actually think he had/has a over 50% faceoff percentage last year and this year so far.
  13. I checked the stats, and it actually seems like he's regularly taking faceoffs but not all the time. He had like 25 faceoffs taken in the first 4 games I think.
  14. So he has 16 shots on goal in only 2 games so far? That's really impressive. I think we can all agree that Jim finds pretty good talent.
