Plum Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Do we draft a goalie this year? One who can play in the CHL for 1-3 years and then come up to the AHL once we have space by getting rid of Cannata/Eriksson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonberries Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Ehlers seems to outplay his teammate Drouin every time the Halifax games are televised. The seem to be exactly the same size too, so if you wouldn't take Ehlers because of his size, the same held true last year for Drouin I'm guessing. What about Stamkos? Big enough?

baumerman77 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 All the sources say Ehlers is under 165. We will find out come the draft combine how much he weighs but there is no possible way a team will take a guy under 165 in the top 10. There is no way that Ehlers "speed" will translate to the NHL in a useful sense. He won't be able to go around NHL defensemen at top speed like he can in the Q. He might win a could quick dashes to the corners but he is very likely to get overpowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absent Canuck Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Ehlers seems to outplay his teammate Drouin every time the Halifax games are televised. The seem to be exactly the same size too, so if you wouldn't take Ehlers because of his size, the same held true last year for Drouin I'm guessing. What about Stamkos? Big enough? Ehlers is bigger than Drouin. He is almost 6ft and is about 170 now. I suspect he will be 6ft and 185 at full playing weight when he is 22. Nathan MacKinnon is also 6ft and he goes at about 182. He is certainly not too small. The NHL is transitioning more towards speed. We see it every year. Its nice to have a superstar who is 6ft 3 and can fight but those are gold (cough Kassian cough) and come around once a generation. It is my opinion Ehlers is almost as good as Mac Kinnon and Druoin . He was not a product of them, but in fact their equal and enhanced each other. If he falls to us TAKE HIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Stamkos is 6'1..... He's listed at 6', and was 5'11' 175ish when drafted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southpop45 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 looks like a good day for tanknation carolina up 2-0 on detroit and hopefully winnipeg wins against calgary to give us a bigger cushion in the standings. 6th pick here we come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3aL Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 All the sources say Ehlers is under 165.

He might win a could quick dashes to the corners but he is very likely to get overpowered. Seeing as he started the season at 162-165, I think it is safe to say he has not lost weight, especially since he has addressed the need and been training and playing all year. Looks like he is low 170's right now, and come combine day yes we will see exactly. Very bold statements you are making, slightly ignorant too. Kid is still growing, and he is a KID, this was his first year playing in North America and he put up Mackinnon/Drouin like numbers, not bad company to be in, and if mason raymond can be an NHL regular I see no reason why Ehlers will not be. I see Ehlers frame being a mayray frame at a minimum, with a much higher skillset and potential. I am not the biggest Ehlers supporter but I do see him as a top 7 pick now, and there are reasons for it. And for a little context, MDC was 171 pounds at the start of the season I would much prefer Leon or MDC over Ehlers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
