Noble 6 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Nice to see both him and Chatfield get some recognition after good years in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Did anyone watch Brisebois play down the stretch or in the playoffs? Any thoughts to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Ward Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Organizational depth chart on d for 2018-19 NHL season at this point. imho Edler Tanev Gudbranson MDZ Juolevi Pouliot Stecher Hutton Biega Sautner Brisebois McEneny Chatfield Depth of players under 22 for the future Juolevi Tryamkin Brisebois Gunnarson Rathbone Brassard While I do agree with BPA, we need to add defencemen with our 1st round pick and 2nd round pick. We should come out with 2 very strong additions to our pool. Hughes, Boqvist, Bouchard, or Dobson + Lundqvist, Miller, or Addison would be a huge change. It would be very nice if we could pick up another 1st or 2nd round pick or both. I think JB is an excellent evaluator or talent and trust whomever he picks, but I would like to see him have more cracks at it. This seems like a very strong draft.

Need a couple more elite pieces as not all prospects live up to potential. But you never know if a guy like Brassard or Rathbone will surprise.

I'm already pencilling him into the top 2. He is one of the best skaters I have seen at that level. He is an offensive livewire and seems strong at the back. If he develops (and grows) as he should at Harvard I think Jimbo may have uncovered the defensive equivalent of BB. A real gem. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithers joe Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 i look at our defense and who might replace them this way edler... tanev... delzotto...juolevi gudbranson...chatfield pouliot...brisebois hutton...sautner stecher... our first round pick might be the heir apparent to edler or tanev, maybe. bouchard could be the next edler, while dobson could be tanev with more offensive ability. hughes and boqvist would give us speed on the backend that would upgrade our breakouts and help our offensive game. edler might be resigned but i think finding a replacement for him should be a top priority. what they say about bouchards passing, makes me think of paul reinhart. imo, he was the most skilled offensive d-man we've ever had here.

I think next year will tell everyone what we have in Rathbone. Some scouts said he could go first round in his draft if he didn't choose the route he did for his hockey career. Which most Canucks fans should know was to stay close to home for his brother whom has disabilities. Speak huge volumes to the kids character. Watching Dexter this year I think the sky is the limit for this kid, fantastic skater, elite offence from the back end. He will be great, just might take a little time to adjust to college 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he lacks urgency in his game. He is young though, so (maybe?) he can add passion to his play, but I just think it's not in his character. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Brisbois is just what you see, maybe a better version of Tanev with time, maybe not. Top 4 D max 5-6 guy for sure, shut down roll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could Rathbone potentially be, what we think Hughes, Boqvist or Merkley is projected to be? Could we already have a PP quarterback in the system? Cause if thats the case, I'm all for Bouchard or Dobson if we go D-men. Edited May 16, 2018 by spook007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSam Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 (edited) I like Brisboise,. As we are all pleasently surprised by Sautners game late last season at the big league level, i think GB is on the same curve of development, potentially with a bit higher ceiling than Sautner, The strength in all of this is the level of depth that is now being created by JB. . . There is no need to panic. Every player will get a fair and full prospective shot, regardless of time developing, and more on merit and ethic. GB will arrive in due course and show well.

The problem (in judging, if not in effect) was he chose to stay back with his school in order to be with his autistic brother, rather than start Harvard last year. That won't hurt his ultimate progress but it did cause him to be picked far further down than he might have been. Smart of Jimbo to ignore this and concentrate on the boys talent and character. That said, go and watch his skating, lateral movement and speed with the puck, they all look special to me (I'm no scout of course) It was noticeable that as Rathbone was roasting the whole opposition team every time he got the puck the commentator remarked that (she was a home commentator) she didn't want to see No5 (Rathbone)on the puck any more. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to derail the Brisebois thread further, but a Rathbone - Dobson pairing would be very very fun to watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To go back to this thread, I think Rathbone would pair nicely with a guy like Brisebois (or Chatfield if Brisebois and Rathbone play on the same side, but that doesn't fit this thread).

Young Breezy is a Tanev type player. Bieksa famously said he looks like he could play with a smoke dangling from his mouth. He has taken good steps at every stage of his career. If he doesn't make another step next year, the same way he did last year or the year before, then maybe you can say his progression has stalled. He has another 2 full years until we will know if he will have a chance to contribute in the NHL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Positionally solid efficient players often look passive. Tanev is a great example of that and if he gets anywhere near Tanev level than that is amazing value for the pic. I have no idea how this kid will turn out but we definitely could use some wins on D. I think Chatfield really represents a lot of the same which is not a bad thing at all. Rathbone who knows, some enticing skills, obviously very smart and high character kid. Will be interesting to see how he goes in college. Our expectations here though will be crazy, if he isn't in running for Hobey Baker as a freshman there will be a lot of hand wringing going on, after all this is CDC where it is D+1 and done. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
