Kreytus Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 He has been playing in the ASHL out of Twin rinks 19+ B Division in summer. http://stats.adultrechockey.ca/c-langley/ashllangley/en/stats/player.php?id=31483&team_id=2131&division_id=0&season_id=61 http://stats.adultrechockey.ca/c-langley/ashllangley/en/stats/player.php?id=7137&team_id=2131&division_id=0&season_id=61 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canucks_fo_life Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 He had a car accident in 2010 and he's had back problems since, it's hindered his development, heard he was playing in Stockton, California, sucks, could have been a good bottom 6 guy, even though we have plenty of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxVerstappen33 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Always was a political pick by Gillis. His upside was pretty limited. I thought Nonis picked an east Indian too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxVerstappen33 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Rai was a 5th round pick. Most 5th rounders never play even a single game in the NHL and only about 10% become legitimate NHL players. (See, for example, http://www.milehighhockey.com/2014/7/23/5931789/draft-percentages.) No 5th rounder is a sure fire NHLer. In fact, on the data, no-one picked below about the #10 overall position can be called a sure-fire NHLer. As we can with the experience we have had with Schroeder, Jensen, Gaunce, and Shinkaruk, even mid-to-low first rounders are far from being sure-fire NHL players. Any of those guys might become a good NHL player, but it is not sure-fire and if two of those four make it as legitimate NHL regulars for a few seasons, that would be as much as we could expect. Right now as the roster sits, one top line player, our starting goalie and a top pairing D man are not drafted at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nurf Herder Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 If that is true I apologize for questioning your motives and applaud your fine sense of humour. He didn't need to add samosas, it was obviously a racist jab. Didn't take him much effort to outsmart you however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 A local late long-shot draft pick. Not quick, not big, not superbly skilled.... just a good story for the local newspaper, plus the ethnic connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadcanucks Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 He had a car accident in 2010 and he's had back problems since, it's hindered his development, heard he was playing in Stockton, California, sucks, could have been a good bottom 6 guy, even though we have plenty of those "Prab Rai could have been a good bottom 6 guy"...coulda, woulda, shoulda...ah no. Not likely. Barely a point per game player in the dub (one of which was as an overager)...had a couple of good shifts in the Young Stars Tourney. With or without his injury, I doubt he would have been anything more than a career ECHLer. But who knows, with the lack of depth in the Canucks organization, maybe he could have been a bottom sixer in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amish Rake Fighter Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 He didn't need to add samosas, it was obviously a racist jab. Didn't take him much effort to outsmart you however. Oversensitive babies whining about fake racism delegitimizes real racism, Reverend Al. The family business has been mentioned on CDC before, sometimes a samosa is just a samosa.

Baer. Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 There should be a thread called "the long lost canucks" of all those players who seemed to just fall of the face of the earth. I always traded him away on NHL 12 First guy I always traded was Kellan Tochkin. Waste of a roster space, guy never even made it to the AHL.
