Herberts Vasiljevs Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Oshawa Generals head coach: "He's arguably the best two-way centre in our league", says Smith. "He'll hit you, he'll fight you, he'll score, he'll block shots, he's a nasty competitor. I've always thought he was a very good player, but he's been through and through our best player every night." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High praise from the coach. Cassels sounds like a young Bolland. If he can turn into that type of player, I'd be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf smell Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Shinkaruk / McCann / Virtanen Jensen / Cassels / Kassian or Horvat for Cassels and Cassels for Jensen. Gaunce / Horvat / Grennier or Friesen 2 to 3 years from now maybe. What do you think the chances are that our top 9 is entirely drafted? Not only that but no Sedins?

saucypass Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Bolland 2.0? Wow. And that's a team that has 5th overall pick Michael Dal Colle on it. High praise from the coach. Cassels sounds like a young Bolland. If he can turn into that type of player, I'd be very happy. I've got a little higher expectations for Cassels than that. Not that I'm expecting him to become a bonafide number 1 center with an amazing plethora of offensive abilities, but I'm hoping he'd at least be a good two-way centerman who can average around 50 points per season. Bolland on the other hand only came close to 50 once in his career. (47 pts. in 08-09) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Boudreau Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 VERY early but 2013 draft has the potential to be the best in a decade for the Canucks. Horvat, Shinkaruk, Cassels, and even Subban with his pedigree are good bets to find their niche in the NHL and become solid NHL regulars at the very least which equates to an excellent draft. Turning out 3 NHL regulars from a draft year is considered a successful draft so 4 would be just extra icing on top. I knew Casssels was another good 2 way center the Canucks seem to keep stockpiling now but didn't think he could be the best out of the group of 2 way guys offensively. Considering the group of centers in Horvat, Guance, and McCann who were all first rounders that is very impressive what he is doing right now.

You still gotta have good vets around to teach the young players coming in or else you are gonna suck like Edmonton and Buffalo regardless of how much young talent you stockpile.

TheSnipeshow91 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Looks like we have 4 potential 2nd line centers lol Horvat- O Reilly 2.0 McCann- Kesler 2.0 Gaunce- Dubinsky 2.0 Cassels- Henrique 2.0 I think these are some realistic comparisons. I know some people won't agree because if you aren't scoring at a 2 ppg pace you're considered a bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 What do you think the chances are that our top 9 is entirely drafted? Not only that but no Sedins? I see your point, but you do realize that the Sedins were also Vancouver draft picks?? If you pluged them in for anybody it would still be an entirely drafted top 9. More importantly, Kassian wasnt a Vancouver draft pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
