canucklehead80 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Anyone have any info on what's going on with Candella? Based on last season's injury shortened season, had higher hopes for some bigger numbers this year. 5th in d scoring on the Bulldogs. Is he being limited to more of a defensive role and no power play time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonecoldstevebernier Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Candella got his first goal of the season today and added another on top of that. 2-4-6 in 15 games now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Candela is #16 in the Canucks Army midterm prospects rankings: http://canucksarmy.com/2017/1/16/canucks-army-midterm-prospect-rankings-15-16 Open below to read their full writeup: #16 COLE CANDELLA Cole Candella is just another in a long list of defensive prospects in the Canucks' system that is having a disappointing season thus far. After putting up 20 points in just 37 games, Candella's production has been slashed nearly in half, potting just two goals and ten assists in 38 games, something that's reflected in his pGPS success percentage of 2%, down from 14% in his draft year. That's not a great sign from a player that was billed as being an offensive defenseman at the time of his selection. Candella struggled at times with defensive play and reading the game in his first two OHL seasons, so to see his offensive game deteriorate at such a rapid pace doesn't bode well for his chances of making the NHL. Based on my viewings of Candella, his single strongest attribute is his shot, both in terms of strength and his ability to get the puck on net through traffic. If his 1.75 shots per game this season is any indication, that isn't something that's changed. There's only so much information available on prospects mid-season, and the OHL's data tracking is still lacking, so I can only speculate as to whether Candella's dip in points is percentage-driven for the results of his own play. It's possible that Candella's impressive draft-eligible season was driven by a run of good luck, but it's equally possible that his teammates are struggling to capitalize on their chances with Candella on the ice. We'll have a better idea of just what exactly the Canucks have in Candella at the end of the season, but for now there's still reason for optimism based on his shot rate and how he fared in 2015-16.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Here's a recent scouting report (Feb 12) on Candella (from the Windsor vs Hamilton game): http://lastwordonhockey.com/2017/02/12/scouting-report-windsor-spitfires-vs-hamilton-bulldogs/ Cole Candella, Defence, Drafted by Vancouver, 5th Round, 140th Overall in 2016 Candella is a good skater, with strong edgework and pivots. He transitions well and can handle the puck and create offense. He seemed to have trouble containing the size and power that Knott and Vilardi brought in this game though. They overpowered him in battles both down low and in front net. He will need to get stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 His plus minus was a lot better this year, but that's about it. I hope he made some big strides defensively, because the offense seemed to disappear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
