thad Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 This pick looks solid as well. Ohlund-lite? I hope he pans out. I watched him this year. He's pretty good but doesn't really wow you. Almost plays the game too safe. I think he's gonna have to work on stepping out of his comfort zone and trying more if he's to crack the nhl. Hopefully when the big guns leave next year he takes on that bigger role. Learn to control the game a bit and not just play safety net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got Edler and Vatanen for the scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn to control the game a bit and not just play safety net. Cederholm may never be a "wow" defensemen. He is built to play a safe and reliable game. His calling card is being that stable stop gap on the backend who plays a physical branded game. It would be nice to see a more offensive game out of him, but if he can continue to be a steady dman, and play physical thats good enough for me. Don't force him to play a branded hockey game that he isn't meant for. Play him to his strengths and focus on those, and if he can own his strengths, he will have a good shot in the big leagues. Pretty sure the Canucks drafted him because they liked the way he plays being a "safe" player, and that is why he has been playing well so far.

Gerbera Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 a prospect I hope they cook in the WHL for as long as possible. Given the recent record of Winterhawks prospects, it would not hurt to let him develop more in Portland.I believe I read on twitter there's still 2 more years left of junior eligibility for him. Let him play big minutes and develop a solid defensive game and perhaps a little bit of offense.Seems like he didn't really have the so called North American transition problem as other defenseman coming over from Europe. Hope he keeps playing well in the playoffs and next 2 seasons in the WHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrchief Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 He reminds me of an Ulf Samuelsson but not as dirty. I hope he stays with Portland for two more years, that means I get to see him play the Giants! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 When do you guys think this monster will be ready to play on the team? Next year? I mean this guy can be a top 4 pairing, who needs points when you can shut down players. I would think he's likely 4+ years away from cracking the Canucks unless he makes a massive leap forward in the next year or two. A couple years of Junior and a couple on the Comets.

canucklax Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 the coaches seemed confident that he does have an offensive upside. that will definitely be something the want him to focus on. With the graduation of Pouliot and Dumba after this season, hopefully he can show it. I imagine he'll be paired with 2015 draft eligible OFD Keoni Texiera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missioncanucksfan Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 With him being an import and 19....can he not report to Utica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 With him being an import and 19....can he not report to Utica? As noted early on in the thread, since he wasn't drafted out of the CHL but rather came over to play there after being drafted he doesn't fall under the CHL/NHL transfer rule. It's probably in his best interest to get another year of junior though before moving up to the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yeah, if it's going to happen, it'll have to start at the junior level. The 8 point streak at the start of the season wasn't followed by any kind of consistency, but hopefully he can improve at least a little on that before moving to the AHL.

Rush17 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Anyone else going to be at the Royals game tonight! Will be there checking out Cederholm and cheering for the hometown Royals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Cederholm and the Winterhawks are off to the WHL conference finals against Kelowna! He had an assist in tonight's victory, brings him to 1-1-2 and a +4 through 9 games so far. That Kelowna-Portland matchup is gonna be one hell of a series, though...
