S N Y P E R S 7 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Right Wing || US Development Team || 5'11 || 192lbs A transitional two-way winger that thinks the game well and can get into tight spots very easily and smack the puck home. Tremendous shot release and knows how to score from all angles. Great hands and hockey sense help him open up time and space for himselfaswell as the guys around him, making him one of those key guys on the ice that makes the players around him better. Defensively, not all too assertive, but finds lanes and takes them away as quickly as he sees them. That heads-up defensive awareness needs to be quicker, and he needs to be more physically astute. Nonetheless, Joey Anderson has great potential as a number 2, number 3 all around winger that could potentially put up anywhere from 30 to 50 points consistently, with peak years boosting him to around 60 points. Put him with guys that think the game similarly and can take advantage of time and space, and you have yourself a game-impacting combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanky Legs Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 We can use our 7th round pick for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue the Canucks shouldn't take any more right wingers, as they have a good pool there for a while. They need left wingers and defencemen. Also which 7th round pick? The Canucks have two!

The loophole in holding rights that has let Justin Shultz, Kevin Hayes et go to free agency. Screwing the team that drafted them with no compensation. Schultz was taken at 43rd overall in 2008. Had the Ducks knows he was going to screw them they might have taken Hamonic or Scandella or Brodie or Spurgeon... Or how about Kevin Hayes.. If the Hawks knew he was going to bolt maybe they would have selected Toffoli or Kuznetsov or Coyle or Nelson... My point is to avoid getting into these potential situations, especially when you're trying to change the country a player was born and grew up in.

"My point is to avoid getting into these potential situations" If another player is available who has the same potential and he's from Europe or Canada then I say take that person.

That's like saying we should pass on this kid because he has low set ears. He does, but that's no reason to not draft him, unless there is an equal talent with normal ears.

I'm talking about a player going to College for 4 years and then becoming a free agent, what is it with you and his damn ears ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, your idea of avoiding college kids is just as crazy as my ears concept. A successful team must draft the BPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Anderson is a solid 4th rounder in my opinion. 3rd is a gamble second is a strech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kings Ducks and Sharks have starting goaltenders. Why not go to a team very close to home and have very good chances of being their franchise goalie.

Orcasfan Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 How about a dose of reality to put this argument against drafting college-bound kids into perspective? A recent study reveals that 30% of current NHL players come from the college ranks. So, you're willing to just give up on 30% of the prospect field because of your paranoia? And, as far as not drafting USHL prospects is concerned - you really are nuts if you just delete them from your draft list. That would mean that we would no longer have our 2nd ranked prospect - Brock Boeser. Actually, I think it's reasonable to expect the number of American draftees to equal Canadian draftees very soon. And then what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then what? Now let's put that 30% into perspective. Only 3 of the top 25 scorers this year spent time at the college level. That's 12%. I'm not saying tof avoid college players completely or to avoid them at all. But the 30% argument is blown out of proportion. The only reason they have that 30% is due to the rediculous amount of college teams. It's quantity. We're looking for quality. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
