  1. Pretty much the same thing with Tanev. I think it's just their casual nature. I see him as being a better version o Tanev with more offensive instincts.
  2. Lidstrom dude, try and keep up.
  3. Juolevi just had a sick snipe by the way.
  4. We talkin bout Keller? Did you see that snipe??
  5. I said before the tournament that BU is the team to beat. I still think they win it all. Seems like no other team is as stacked as them. Looks like their year.
  6. Not to mention Juolevi has made many highlight reel passes, and a player shouldn't by hyped because of one play.
  7. I see no need for him to play in the NHL this season. Not with the state the teams in. Not sure his skating is at an NHL level yet either. No point hurting his confidence.
  8. Pat Conacher, GM of the Comets.
  9. All those lists are subjective. Lots of hyped up players on prospect lists have gone on to bust. Nothing matters until they reach the big show.
  10. They already have the compensation rule for not being able to sign first rounders. I think it's a 2nd rounder? I guess they figure that's enough.
  11. I have a feeling Benning has Vilardi ranked higher too. Seems like his type of player. But the fact that he said he wants a playmaking center makes me think he might be leaning towards Mittelstadt or Petterson. Vilardi is playing on wing right now, no?
  12. Pretty hard to compare numbers from the KHL and the AHL. Lots of numbers in the NHL get inflated based on the teams they play for. Same thing could be happening with those two.
  13. White played with Matthews, that's who I was referencing. Keller also played with some of the top players n the country.
  14. The USNTDP Juniors is a team in the USHL that features the best young players in the country.
  15. Keller and White also played for the US national team which featured a ton of highly drafted talent (including Matthews). That likely inflated their numbers a bit.
  16. Well he wants a playmaking center or a powerlay QB D-man, so my guess is Vilardi/Mittelstadt are ranked 3/4 for him followed by Liljegren. I think Mittelstadt probably suits what we need more. Vilardi seems to be pretty similar to Horvat, which is fine, but I think we need someone with a higher offensive ceiling to potentially be a first liner.
  17. How does Mittelstadt's USHL numbers stack up against some former highly drafted players?
  18. Which I think is a horrible idea. He's not going to prove anything on this team right now. The teams done. Sign him to an amateur tryout for Utica and let him play some meaningful hockey at a level he's probably more suited for right now.
  19. The Canucks season ends on April 9th. The NCAA championship game is on the 8th. Good chance Boeser isn't even available to play for them if his team goes all the way Rather have him play for the Comets, then play for a team that already has their golf clubs ready.
  20. Yea that would be a good pick. He's put up amazing numbers. With the way he's going he might not even make it to the 2nd round though.
  21. Hope the Canucks try and sign Cam Johnson too when his season is done. Could use another goalie prospect in the system to challenge Demko.
  22. I would say Boston U is the team to beat in this years tournament. UND has to be considered an underdog despite winning it all last year. They have a stacked roster featuring Keller, Forsbacka-Karlsson, Fabbro, McAvoy, Greenway, Hickey, and Bellows. Gotta beat the best to be the best though.
  23. Yep he can go back to junior next season. It doesn't affect his eligibility like with college players.
  24. Yep, as long as their commitment to their junior team is done for the season they can play in the AHL.
