Pretty much. I think if we want him we have the balls to grab him with our 1st We can probably gamble that one of ASP, Simashev will be there for the NYI pick but Rein won't.

I retract my comment. I just see a lot of posters crapping all over the kid. It's not his fault he's was over hyped as a 16 yearlod and then again by the NYI sales team. Just let the kid play hockey and tune out the noise for a bit.

[Rumour] Canucks Getting Calls on Luke Schenn
hammertime replied to Warhippy's topic in Trades, Rumours, Signings
I don't think thats true at all. -
Ohhh Washington got Michkov!! Edit: Lol didn't see @GB5 's post above. Haha waddya mean of course Washington takes Michkov.
-
How would we do this? A weekly poll with last weeks winner removed from the list?
-
What do we pay em for though? Regardless of our track record with prospects, there is only one way to change that. I think organizationally we need to turn that corner. I'd like to see Silvos Hog's, Pod, Wolly and the rest go on a nice run here in the playoffs lets start changing that reputation now.

Can we get Reinbacher to the AHL next year??
-
Hmm noooo! And I think the NYI pick slides.
-
I ditto @Ilunga I'm curious of your commentary re Swiss pro league as a dev program good or bad. We have seen quite a few very good players translate from there recently.
-
Welcome to the team. I'm with you too I'm on the fence but...... The building blocks are there. We can control his dev in the AHL. I've described him as a shrinking violet before buuuuuuuut I don't get the feeling he will go the way of Olli Juolevi. I've seen him compared to Shea Theodore and by yourself Dobson and honsetly I don't think those are outlandish comparisons. Do I think we left the best player on the table if we take him ......? Yes probably.... But this isn't a Tkachuk situation where we miss on a guy we have needed for ever! We might miss on a PPG finesse winger. If we are reaching for a Barlow/Moore we may as well take Rein.

On today's episode of players of interest. Samuel Barcik 6'2 RHD this kid has been playing in Slovakias top mens league since his D-1 He's got the size, skates well enough plays strong on the boards. You would think he is a 1 dimensional defensive D and he plays that role in pros. However, against his age group, he activates as a 4th attacker and has put up very good point totals. He's definitely worth a look with our 3rd. Aiden Celebrini 6'1 RHD let's call this foreshadowing. JR/PA galaxy brain pick. Yes Macklin Celebrini's brother. Possibly another talented D from the Brooks Bandits D factory. Projects as maybe a 5th/6th. Erik Pohlkamp. @Isam great pick looks very promising. Spiffy point totals this year. Kid was listed 5'10 210 last year and didn't jump off the page he's 5'11 and slimmed to 202 re hockey DB admittedly I haven't seen or been paying much attention to him but it looks like there could be something there if he can skate and control his weight. This is a very surface impression. Colour me intrigued. Philip Fankl big shut down defense first C can score in the paint. Look for him to make a big jump in his development in his d+1. Zeb Forsfjall Smallish C really impressed at both Hilinkas and WJAC I have my 2nd round targets he isn't one at our pick anyway. But if he's there for our 3rd I think we run to the podium. Here's a blurb re Hilinkas. Zeb was Sweden’s top center for the tournament and did an excellent job at his two-way play. He was fast on his feet and maintained a quick first step the entire tournament, utilizing his edges and ability to quickly change speed frequently. He was an excellent puck carrier and distributor (see video on his three assists), for Sweden and did very well at finding the best options moving into high chance areas and feeding them the puck. He showed no fear when attacking the net or the puck and was rewarded with two goals. Defensively Zeb played with his head up and did very well to pressure the puck carrier and cause turnovers. I feel due to his size he may be looked over (insert height joke here), but don’t count him out. He could very well be a second-round choice in the draft. – Matt Hnatiuk Anton Ohlsson C Get him in the 4th if you can fantastic 2 way C pro size has been very impressive against his peers. Enough to get a cup of coffee with the big boys. Of course, I'm still pulling for Juraj Pekarcik and Carter Sotheran!! Lets weaponize some cap and get some more pix.

[Proposal] Potential Schenn trades
hammertime replied to Coconuts's topic in Proposals and Armchair GM'ing
Boston trade we move up only a handful of spots. I'd do the Calgary one only because I think Shenn would too. A pick in the 20ish would be worth it. Maybe he'd do Tampa too. if Schenn was open to that I'd want Tampa to add if they advance. -
I don't think they can screw this one up too badly unless they pass on Michkov or something.
-
Nice good call. Wow what a meteoric rise. Looks like he lost some weight and exploded this year. Wonder if he can skate. 5g 2a in 4 games at the WJAC is pretty spiffy. Leading all D in the USHL.
