Junkyard Dog Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Put up 83(33G,50assists) points last season in 71 games. Has 99(49G,50a) points so far in 61 games this season. Back to back 50 assist seasons in the dub. Free prospect, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lui's Knob Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Scouting report? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EternalCanuckFan Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 So long as the Canucks have the contract space this is great (if it works out). Clearly teams see something in Hunt. I believe Blomstrand's contract is up this summer along with a few others like Jeremie Blain. There will be space. The Comets will need help as well. Pleasw correct me if I'm wrong but he Canucks don't have much past Gaunce and Labate and Gaunce may make the jump next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 He had four hatricks within a 5 game span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote A bit under six foot, but you won’t be able to tell since he won’t be standing still long enough for you to get a good look. It’s not that he is super quick; in fact he only really has short area quickness. Plays with high energy as a defensive backchecker, an offensive forechecker, and a possession attacker. For his size, he is a handful down low, and maintains possession due to his strength on the puck. An up and down player that doesn’t get fancy and keeps the feet going to exploit the skills he has already developed. —Bill Placzek— Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to the dirty areas to get rebounds, decent situational awareness, and has a plus shot. I wouldn't call him a 200' player. Call pull the chute on plays and does not lay the body whenever he gets the chance. He can grind in the corners a bit though. He's just one of those kids that seems like he's a great junior player but not anything else. The question I would ask my self is, "Where is he going to help you on an NHL roster?" I mean, maybe he has a chance to be a decent 3rd liner down the road. Maybe. Likely a hard chance to make it out of the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw one of the EDM guys tweet this out too, I think it's all the Canadian teams. Fox didn't work out, and I worry that might be the precedent for potential over-agers. That being said, Sautner looks like a steal. I trust in this scouting staff greatly. or Jiri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox was feeding off of McDavids points though. So his production i wouldnt say is as good as Hunts. Id take a shot at him. Without McDavis Fox would probably be potting as many points as a rookie CHLer. Never had much hope for Fox tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesB Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 1 hour ago, TheRussianRocket. said: Overager playing in the WHL with the Moose Jaws. Has 49 goals/99 points in 61 games this season and scored 5 hattricks in his last 8 games. LHS who plays left wing. ... He's a BC native from Nelson, has good size at 6ft/200lbs, and most importantly...PLAYED FOR THE MEDICINE HAT TIGERS LAST YEAR!!#*%^$&@ZOMGZZZ!!!!! ...I'm no mathematician but seems like there are some pretty good odds we possibly land him. Another experiment which would be a low risk move. Currently sitting at 47 contracts, there is definitely room to ink him down. There is a lot of analysis of overagers. They rarely do well at the NHL level. Players normally improve a lot between their draft year and their draft +2 (i.e. overage) year, so putting up big numbers in the overage year is not very meaningful. And the kind of players who become overagers fit a particular pattern. Usually they are guys who lack a key attribute needed for success at the NHL level (like speed), but have the kind of skill set that is very successful in Junior.

Apple Juice Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 One thing is apparent in all of this. Benning likes guys who can shoot the puck and just rip it off their stick. We're seeing this in Virtanen, McCann, Boeser, Horvat, and possibly Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
