If after the lottery, we're sitting 4th and Buffalo is in the 7/8/9 range, would anyone be against a trade of Tanev/4th overall for Reinhart/1st? Or something of that ilk. I'd be fine with Necas, Petterson or Makar in that late top 10 range

I doubt it, since Villardi is a Horvat-Type of a player, very well rounded, with no weaknesses - in the defensive or offensive zone.
Overall, I'd rather have 2 Jonathan Toews/Bergeron (ceiling for horvat-Villardi IMO) than the quintessential 'high offence-high defence' 1-2 combo of top 2 centres, because two top quality 2-way centers are much more wearing down to play against.
We clearly have very different opinions on Villardi. Personally, I hope we don't draft him. That said I would take:
McDavid - Draisaitl
Eichel - ROR
Kopitar - Carter
Over two clones of Horvat (and I love Bo).

I am hoping we pick Villardi.
A combination of Horvat-Villardi as #1-2C would give us the best 1-2 punch in centres after the Penguins.
Not even close.. Petty sure Edmonton, Buffalo, LA, and a few others would still be ahead of us.
If we got Patrick or Hersh, then maybe in a few years.

Does anyone know if Rodin is waiver eligible? Depending on how he's healed, he may need to start the year in Utica.
-
We should send him to Alaska. I doubt he would crack the Comets, but at least we would have a better control over his development.

Curious to see how the London Knights team looks with the possibility of all of Tkachuk, Dvorak and Marner moving on. If that's the case then guys like Max Jones get to step it up and this makes a more challenging situation for OJ as he now doesn't have the flashy forwards to pop in all the goals.
Moving forward I dont want OJ rushed so one more year in junior and let him kick butt one more time at WJC and then one year in Utica. By the time he is 20, he will be much stronger and ready to bust out
There will be an opportunity for OJ to step up with 2 (possibly 3) of their top scorers (by a wide margin) gone. I wonder if he will be given more of a green light to jump up with the rush and be more of a catalyst offensively.

Lockwood is a complete unknown to me.. so I can't really comment too much on him. Personally, I was hoping we would grab one of Dineen, Bitten or Greenway, but I can live with this pick.
Going the college will definitely benefit him. He will need to bulk up and Michigan is a great place to do that. Hopefully in 3ish years he'll be ready to step into the AHL.
-
I like this pick. I wasn't ever really sold on Tkatchuk, though I do think he will still be a solid player for Calgary. Juolevi fits our needs in the short and long term, with the potential to be something really good -- probably not a Norris winning defenseman, but you never know

maybe pepper in a few less "dimjims". you're clearly peddling a dumb rhyme you came up with but you're oversaturating the market. it's like when the Nintendo wii came out. if you only release a few at a time, you can keep interest up enough to compete with xbox and playstation.
Anyway, I don't think Miller is going anywhere next year; even at the TDL. markstrom and miller will be a good combo again next year. it gets interesting the year after. will demko be able to step in as the backup after only 1 season of AHL experience? depends if he signs on for next season of course. but it would be great if he could fill that role so the org doesn't have to pick up a vet to be markstroms backup for a year or 2.
I think what we will see is Miller/Markstrom next year -- hopefully a 50/50 split if not more games for Markstrom. Then we sign a Scrivens type backup to a 1 or 2 year contract -- someone who could pass through waivers, but still provide competition to Demko and play 30ish games, with Demko getting a call-up or two and getting 10ish games. Finally we have a Markstrom/Demko duo in three years.
That gives Demko 2-3 years in the AHL (potentially only 1 if he wins job in 17/18), and hopefully he gets a couple of call-ups in between to get some NHL experience.

I love that he only needs that split second to be deadly. He could dog it all game, but give him a small opening and bang! It's in the back of the net.
I can't remember the last time we had someone that dangerous with the puck.

Can the Canucks sign him for the remainder of the year and have him recover with team doctors? I'm not sure if that would aid his recovery time, but it would give him an opportunity to immerse himself into the team for next year.

it would be ideal, but it's complicated.
what if there's a dominant chl team whose top forward line and top defense pair are comprised of the "junior prospect ahl exemptions" of five different nhl teams? should that chl team have to allow its team to be decimated? should there be a similar limit for number of players per chl team allowed to be in the ahl? if so, how is it decided which nhl team(s) get priority for placing their prospect in the ahl?
there's no easy answer. the best option is probably changing draft eligibility age from 18 to 19, although that doesn't necessarily solve all the problems either.
I think a financial reimbursement to the CHL club from the NHL team (essentially the NHL team would 'buy' the rights to the player) plus the CHL club would received some sort of compensatory pick in the bantam draft, would help smooth over the loss of one or two top players.
-
I wonder if we can force the hitmen to release him.
I don't know if we can get them to release him, but we could pressure them to trade him to another team. Minnesota did that with Dumba a few years back. Basically they told Red Deer "Trade him and get some assets for him or we're keeping him all year and you get nothing for him." He was then traded to Portland and sent back to the WHL.
-
If he can stay healthy, I would welcome him back. He'll be 25 in November, so he still has a few (potentially) good years ahead of him.
I could see him coming over at 26 or 27 for one last shot at the NHL, much like Soderberg.
-
While I think Jake could handle 9-12 minutes per game at the NHL level, I just think there aren't enough 'sheltered' spots available.
Baer, and Vey will both need sheltered minutes -- and to some degree Horvat as well (as good as he was last year, he is only 20).
Add in guys like Prust and Dorsett, who are great role players, but we don't want them playing more than 12 minutes a game either.
That's 5 guys that will average 12ish minutes or less per game without Jake.

The fact that he is buried so deep in the Russian system, I wonder how hard it would be to convince him to come to NA to play in the chl?
-
It also said does not possess a big shot by any means.
As swift pointed out above you, one report says he has a great shot while another says he doesn't have a booming shot.
I take this as he has a good release (how fully accurate), but its just not a powerful shot. I can live with that. Just get it on net. We've had enough defensemen with big shots that can't hit the broad side of a barn

The Acadie-Bathurst Titan were abysmal this year. They ended dead last in the QMJHL standings and only won a mere 17 games. Be that as it may, a young defenseman by the name of Guillaume Brisebois has been one of the teams few bright spots who grew leaps and bounds since last season.
A standard two-way defenseman, Brisebois was urged by his coaches to carry the puck up the ice more often this season and join the rush. He has a fluid skating strides and strong legs that allow him to break out of the defensive zone with ease. Down the ice, he possesses excellent vision and pinpoint breakout passes to his teammates. Brisebois has a great slapshot and wristshot. The only issue is he seems timid to use it, which will have to be an aspect of his game he needs to work on further.
Just looking at stats can be deceiving. This season Brisebois was a minus -40, but thats a testament to how poorly the Titan were this year than it was about how bad Brisebois played in his own end. Hes responsible in the defensive zone and challenges opposing forwards as they enter the blueline. An effective pokechecker, the Quebec-native disrupts plays and cuts down passing lanes. He could stand to add some extra muscle and use his size to knock players off the puck, but Brisebois still has time. At this stage, hes very raw in his hockey development and will likely stay in the QMJHL a full four years before developing further in the AHL. However, for my money, hes still worth the gamble.
Where Will He End Up In June:
I think Brisebois ends up getting taken in the 3rd or 4th round.
Scouts Honor:
Above average skater who is quite agile and moves with a fair amount of ease around the ice. His good skating ability allows him to close down on attacking forwards quickly.Does not possess a big shot by any means, but will often make smart plays to get the puck on net. He will never be a guy that scores a significant amount of goalsLooks very comfortable on the puck and does a good job distributing the puck out of the defensive zone. He really excels at making the smart and safe play with the puckHas good vision and often starts the breakout for his team. Very smart player in the defensive zone, closing down on forwards and uses the poke check well to knock players off the puckBrisebois is not particularly physical and could stand to put on some extra pounds to potentially improve that area of his game.
David McKnight Hockey Prospectus
Captains a weak Titan team and is good at both ends. Very thin, but still willing and able to use his frame to knock puck carriers. Maintains good gaps and plays solid despite the lack of depth around him. At this juncture is more a defense-first place but he may still round out his offensive game.

Sounds like he could be a bit of a sleeper pick. Good mobility. Good shto - even though he doesn't seem to use it enough. Captain as a 17 year old. Plus he was somewhat hidden on a bad team.
Definitely not a sexy name like Kylington, but this guy could be pretty good.
-
Brisebois is a 6-2, 180lb defenceman. Had 28 points in 63 games last season. Was also captain of his team as a 17-year-old.

I'd be willing to wager that it will be Markstrom who is traded. Benning stated unequivocally that Markstrom was ready to play in the NHL right now, and that if the consensus was to trade him, they wouldn't have any trouble finding a trading partner. Sounds to me like a classic sales pitch, especially now when he is the centre of attention in the only other league still playing. Say whatever necessary to persuade others that Markstrom is a hot commodity and someone will bite.
I'll take that action!
I doubt we will go ahead with Miller/Lack, as the cost to re sign Lack will be too much to have him in a back-up role. Even if Lack signs a Schneider like deal (3 years 4M per), that would mean we have 10 million tied up in goaltending. Not exactly a winning formula.
-
I don't see that, not for a while anyway.
I really think our 2c has to show more point production than any of our available centres are showing at the moment bar Hank. It may come next season for Bo with a better playmaker along side him but really he can't complain with some of the chances dished to him by Hansen and Kenins so far.
If Horvat ups his production next year to say 25g 30 assists then fine he is ready for the 2nd line but until then he looks more like our future 3rd line centre to me.
I agree Horvat is not ready for second line duty, at least offensively. He definitely has the potential for it though, but I would put him 2-3 years away from being a lock for 2C.
Ideally for me, Benning goes out and grabs a 2C this offseason. Hank - 2C - Bonino - Horvat would be solid centre depth

2017 NHL Draft - Chicago, Illinois June 23-24 2017
in Prospects / Farm Team
Posted
While I'll be happy with almost anyone rated around 5, I'm leaning towards Glass. I can see the Scheifele comparison, and would give him the same treatment. Few people thought Scheif would become the player he is now, and if Glass can come close to that it's a huge win.
