BananaMash Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I want to put Merci on ignore so badly, but his Ritchie man crush is almost hilarious to read. He's a good prospect, but damn man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumerman77 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Karlsson says hi Ya Karlsson is the only one I can come up with too who succeeded in a similar situation. But the hundreds that don't is why I would stay away from drafting a player like that in the top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merci Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Doesn't make sense to me. Barkov: 16 points in 32 games in Liaga as a 16yr old 48 points in 53 games as a 17 yr old Nylander: 7 points in 22 games in SHL as a 17 yr old Yet 2nd overall -----> 6th overall. Weak draft? yea ok>?

I'm not saying you're completely wrong, but the SM-liiga is a weaker league than the SHL. A lot of people put the SM-liiga somewhere between Allsvenska and the SHL.

baumerman77 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 tanev Tanev didn't get drafted in the top 10. In fact he didn't get drafted at all. He also isn't what one would consider a "skilled player" in the offensive use of the term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merci Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Paajarvi: 35 games 3 points as 16yr old SHL 50 games 17 points as 17yr old SHL 49 games 29 points as 18 yr old SHL Yea I guess his numbers do add up to a top 10 pick. Have to admit when you really crunch it Ritchie and Nylander and Ehlers are damn damn close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Ehlers and Nylander both 5'11, Ritchie 6'2.25 Ok, but is that their measurement now at the combine, or the same measurements that have been posted a few times that were known prior to the combine? I'd guess it's the same as we'd already known and those are just sheets they had ready for people attending the combine, but without you posting any context it's hard to say otherwise.

Gyllenhaal Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Paajarvi: 35 games 3 points as 16yr old SHL 50 games 17 points as 17yr old SHL (Draft Year) 49 games 29 points as 18 yr old SHL Yea I guess his numbers do add up to a top 10 pick. Have to admit when you really crunch it Ritchie and Nylander and Ehlers are damn damn close. Not trying to get in a debate or anything just thought I would add this... This was Nylander's first year playing in the SHL were as Paajarvi had played 35 games as a 16-17 year old. Nylander had 7pts in 22 games, Paajarvi had 17 in 50. So if Nylander played 50 games he would have 16pts. Paajarvi was also on a more offensive team, 4 players on his team had 30+ points, 2 had 40+ points. Nylander was on a team with the leading scorer having 28 points, and 2nd leading scorer having 22 points. Take it as you will, just thought I would add that. Makes me wonder how many points Nylander could have put up if he was on a better team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasperi Kapanen is up to 6'0 now. Listed on 5'9, on some other sites. Edit: actually nevermind. I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think those are the measurements from months ago, but i'm not 100%. Don't they normally update the players measurements after the combine?

CANUCKS FTW! Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Nylander or Ehlers is what the team needs. We need that offensive gamebreaker which we are truly lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyllenhaal Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Ok just found proof the height/weight is old. Look at the asterisk under the title, says "player weighed and measured by Central Scouting". All players at the combine are measured by CS. Kasperi Kapanen was at the combine but has no asterisk by his name meaning the measurements are old since they are not done by CS. I'm sure they will release the updated measurements soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Those were taken from training camp last year. Some who were specifically scouted by ISS are updated. Fabbri comes to mind. He is now 1/4 inch taller and 10 pounds heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I feel that JB should try his utmost to get that #1 Florida pick and get Reinhart.....Florida would almost be guaranteed an Ehlers or Nylander with our #6,which is what they are looking for. Even more hilarious if we do that and Ekblad goes number 2 and turns into the next Pietrangelo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Ehlers and Nylander both 5'11, Ritchie 6'2.25 Those were handed out when the combine began. Not after the measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 How many pages until draft day? another 100? 200? 300? I am really stoked for this draft as we are getting a top notch player anyway you slice it. If Benning is able to trade up without giving up our youth I will be very content with a deal.

Its my opinion either Dal Colle or Daisraitl will fall to us. Islanders could pick Nylander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
