canucklax Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Well..... Considering there are lots of tools still up front with Pétan, DeLeo, Bjorkstrand, the kid line of Turgeon, Schoenborn and Iverson, and what I expect will be a HUGE coming out party for Bittner (I mean a top 10 convo) they should probably focus or getting a veteran D.

theminister Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Portland has a great goaltender in Brendan Burke aswell. I'd dispute that. Burke is average at best and covered up by the teams in front of him. Don't get me wrong, he's a good WHL goalie. He's not an NHLer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not an NHLer. He's not an NHLer but he's going to be a top 10 goaltender in the WHL next season. Edit: A year older will help him aswell.

He's not an NHLer. I agree. He's good enough to not cost you games (usually) but I've never seen him take over a game. Which is another reason I'm concerned about the blueline, don't have a stud to bail them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is another reason I'm concerned about the blueline, don't have a stud to bail them out But they don't have one. They've been spoiled recently with the talent that's come through the pipeline. Pouliot, Jones, Morrow....heck..... Wotherspoon might be the best true defender of the bunch. All the more reason on why they need one. But I agree with you. If they don't get one, someone who can play heavy minutes, then this will be a big factor in Cederholm's development. Which way will they want him to play? New coach. They don't need a riverboat gambler like Dumba. They need a defenseman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Truly Dumba was a gambler. I will watch his NHL development as it could go either way. What he did in junior might not work well against pros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avelanch Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Canucks Army just started their top 20 ranking for 2014, and Cederholm is #20:PROSPECT PROFILE: #20 ANTON CEDERHOLMone thing to note that i don't think a lot of people gleaned from the blurb; these numbers are from a single 7 game series against the oil kings in the WHL playoff finals. i believe the chick doing the analysis is an oil kings fan, which is why she only had those numbers available.It's also a statistically insignificant sample size, and that might have just been how the Oil kings attack; especially with anton's partner jumping into the rush all the time.

Yeah, Canucks Army has a reputation for using advanced stats but an equally (arguably more) well-known tendency for misusing them. Sometimes I think they just want to put any data they can in a post, regardless of quality, then just list 20 caveats throughout the article.

It's also a statistically insignificant sample size, and that might have just been how the Oil kings attack; especially with anton's partner jumping into the rush all the time. She's from Portland and a Winterhawk fan as far as I know. I'd heard she also was working on numbers from the regular season but don't know how many she'd been able to compile. What she did have when I last checked was another small sample size but similar result, so there's good reason to pay attention to it while we see how he plays out this year without having to cover for a very offensive minded player like Pouliot as much. Then again, he'd likely get a similar pairing this year, maybe a little more balanced (saw Texeira mentioned), but we'll see.

Sometimes I think they just want to put any data they can in a post, regardless of quality, then just list 20 caveats throughout the article. Sometimes they overreach on their conclusions, but sometimes they're pretty spot on though. Other times they talk a bit about something specific like this just to get the information out there and let others draw conclusions. An educated fan should be able to do that when reading any article anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comcast program guide lied to me about which game NHLN was airing. Ah, that makes more sense considering it was reported no one picked up the rights. No highlights or anything I've seen, and I would have thought one of the two teams would have taken informal video and seen at least some highlights emerge.
