Boeser with a great backcheck then he takes a strech pass and feeds Caguilla 1-0 UND. WHAT A PASS

Huge saves by Gartieg

Cannata was Merrimack

bleh 1-0 Quinn

Matthews is from Arizona, maybeeeee its a sign

I believe it was 24 in 16 games

He always was bad in the defensive zone, scoring was never a problem if was his board battles and strength.

Travis Green has said multiple times that Shinkaruk needs to work on the finer details of the game in order to make a NHL career for himself. Boeser doesn't have those tendency, I would watch a couple of games before making generalizations like that.

I think he starts out in Utica, might earn a call up though.

Age means nothing. Boeser has a nhl body, and is a lot better in the defensive zone then Shinkaruk

He wasn't even that, Boeser is closer. He's 22 years old

He wasn't in our top 5 prospects before the season and would probably be 3rd right now. He has the ability to play LW and getting stronger over the summer will help him get better in the dot. He's apparently 43% in the dot this year which isn't that bad, McCann was like 30%, Henrik is at 45%, Bo is at 51%

He hasn't been bad. He's playing 3 line minutes but is usually on a line with Baertschi and Vey/Virtanen depending on who is health. Granlund is your typical 3rd line/4th line shutdown center. He has been very good in his own zone and can contribute offensively when need be, he doesn't seem to have his confidences back so it will be interesting to see what happens when he has confidence. He has shown some signs on being able to produce at a a 10-15 goals/30-40 point clip over a full season but hasn't done it consisently. He patience with the puck is impressive for a young player and he has shown signs of being an above average playmaker. He board play is ok he needs to gain some weight in order to be more effective on the board, but he does a good job of protecting the puck in the corners. Benning said that he has a good shot but we haven't seen much of it at all so far, from the couple of shots I have seen he has a quick release but it isn't the hardest shot. Overall he has played better than CDC give him credit for. I think it's just a matter of time before we start to see some high end offense out of him. He was a .6 PPG in the Sm-Liiga (they don't give out secondary assists) and almost a PPG in the AHL during his time in Abbotsford/Stockton so the offensive ability is there, but like I said earlier I tihnk it will come when he becomes more confident.

If points are the only criteria you use when you are evaluating a player, then you're doing it wrong.
