CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Wonder if he decides to turn pro this coming spring or play out another year at Michigan have his rights til Aug 15, 2020, so perhaps we allow him to play the full 4 years at college? Considering how much time he has missed due to injury, to allow him to develop his strength and game in college wouldn't be the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I admit that I have not seen him play all that much. What I saw reminded me of Michael Peca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpn1 Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I hate being a downer but I am unsure of whether William will ever be more than a good AHL player while providing depth for the Canucks when injuries raise their ugly head, Not all our prospects will turn into NHL regulars.

With that blazing speed of his I wonder if management envisions him on a checking line with his ability to close the gap on the fore check and there may also be the threat of him scoring on breakaways if he is used on a PK role. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you are right but considering his size and previous injuries (Shoulder) I wonder if he will be able to handle the heavy going considering how hitting on the fore check as is his specialty. We will see I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His style of play with the speed and shiftiness with the puck I have a better feeling of him making it as a regular over some of our other prospects. That is if his shoulder holds up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think another full year in the NCAA would help him really refine that before jumping into the rigorous pro schedule and bigger/tougher opponents.

The game I watched last year he was absolutely dominating the ice almost every shift. Sees the ice well, played both the PK and PP, throwing hits and skates very well. Very excited for this kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I’m sure he realizes this and will be more cautious with his tenacity but you can’t stop the other team from hitting you. That’s where I worry about his shoulder. Getting those bigger pro bodies hitting him up against the boards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see I suppose. He's a really good fit for today's NHL. Speed and skill combo with and plays with an edge. Trying to be completely unbiased but I think he's bound to make it to the league in some way or another because of that. I wouldn't say his "specialty" is hitting on the forecheck, it's something he does well and it may or may not be his "specialty" in the NHL depending on how he develops, but that's not really his specialty on Michigan. Shoulder is a major concern though that's a really bad weakness to have in almost any sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-P Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Yeah, you worry about his shoulder, but Jake seems to be doing fine now and he had a couple of shoulder surgeries if I remember correctly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he does. I can’t recall if Matthews has ever had surgery on it though whereas Lockwood has had 2 on the same shoulder I believe. Matthews also has 4 inches and 50 pounds on Lockwood. The most recent injury to Matthews is what I get scared for with Lockwood and his shoulder. You can take the hits out of your game but you can’t stop somebody from hitting you when driving to the dirty areas. If you stop going to the dirty areas then you might not succeed at the next level anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
